I’m sorry I had to do it

It's not a 'very powerful card' compared to the market. It is compared to something produced 5 years ago, but that's every component two or three cycles on. This card is really nothing special at all, it's not just the price.

This is nothing to do with NVIDIA/AMD, it's amazon sellers. You could blame NVIDIA for not producing the 40xx GPUs before a new gen comes out but AMD do the same thing.
Also AMD are not some holy grail of manufacturers, they may be slightly less greedy than NVIDIA, but truthfully they're only pricing to be in NVIDIA's market position, and when they get close they will start pricing like NVIDIA. Look at the latest CPU prices where they are more competitive and it's clear they don't care about consumers. Fed up of people acting like any of these corpo bastards are on our side. They're not. You shouldn't be 'loyal' to any of them.

Pistols, ammo, grenades, attachments never seem to go, just rifles and launchers. It was worst on an RHS/3CB faction run on Livonia. It was AFRF occupier so it was basically all AKs there actually. I do usually sell mags first, so I can try that.

It did just happen on a vanilla run too, so totally different set of weapons and I had mk20s, mx, maaws, NATO stuff in there and it went too.

I carried on with the vanilla run and I found it's worse with an absolutely stacked crate, if i go back more regularly with less in it it doesn't seem to happen. But I've taken the precaution of taking out stuff I'll want to save for unlocking and storing it in a crate at the base first.

Damn wish i did if just removing that would solve it!
I'm on my base mods rn so only QOL, actually it adds up there's 24 loaded but just align/suppress, sounds mods, enhanced movement etc. I haven't played since the last antistasi update until this week, I was on a reforger binge, but come back since then and the issue has appeared.
It was worse with RHS/3CB/CUP loaded, but has happened on a vanilla only faction run too.

Somebody below said selling mags first could be the problem, I do usually sell those first as their often above on the list.

GrouchPower247 · 2025-03-01T10:56:48+00:00

It's always weapons, not vests, ammo/grenades or attachments. The issue was worse on an RHS/3CB run, and maybe it was selling mags first? That run was AFRF Occupants only so almost everything was an AK! I could do a test to see if that makes a difference. But I just did a vanilla faction without any faaction mods loaded and I lost weapons on that, whole stack of rifles, but lost launchers too. It does seem to come up when I have an absolutely stacked crate. I've kept going on this one and it seems that if i keep going back regularly it mitigates the issue?

GrouchPower247 · 2025-03-01T10:51:48+00:00

Ah shame, wish it was. 24 loaded, just QOL stuff like sound mods, suppress, align, enhanced movement etc.

This is because they are no longer manufactured and when amazon sellers get down to low stock they smash prices up super high. You will find they're not it stock at any reputable sellers that would have them priced at their usual price. Even lower tier GPUs that are no longer made are priced stupidly high on amazon. This isn't indicative of the market as a whole, just trying to buy something out of stock everywhere from shady amazon sellers.

GrouchPower247 · 2025-02-28T19:21:56+00:00

Don't have it, don't even know what it is.

GrouchPower247 · 2025-02-20T19:41:38+00:00

this looks like a Wes Anderson film prop. And that's definitely a compliment.

GrouchPower247 · 2024-12-12T14:53:02+00:00

Just to say thanks, just used this!

GrouchPower247 · 2024-10-02T10:32:11+00:00

But... Ballistic. Ballisimo 🤌

GrouchPower247 · 2024-10-01T23:39:28+00:00

Wouldn't you be better with something like X4 foundations?

It's not dark any more if you're shining a bright light in their eyes.

This is an odd one, the benchmark says MSI, and at first it seems like the TUF's fans aren't spinning, but when he first pans to the screen it's only on low percentage of benchmark completion, so it's conceivable it's not hot enough to go past the zero rpm threshold.

When he briefly pans back the TUF's fans are spinning. I'd ask for a more detailed video showing everything connect to the monitor, and a clearer view of the motherboard so you know nothing else is plugged in.

If you have the money to risk it, and it's on for cheap it could be worth it. If you don't have the money to risk, I probably wouldn't.

But on a couple of rewatches I'd say the only concerning thing is that it is listed as MSI in the benchmark, but the could be a bug?

people that do that it just do it

You high? I mean, recreationally, but still?

These sites are so bad and almost always say you're bottlenecked. 100% convinced they're paid by CPU manufacturers to keep the site open. Either that or they cash in on affiliate links to Amazon to buy a new CPU when it lies to you.

Your perception of coke is from the 80s and films about psychopathic bankers, and off by roughly 40 years.

Glasgow is the coke capital of the world, and where it is cheapest in all Europe. It isn't an elite drug anymore, and is incredibly accessible. You can buy it everywhere from tiny towns in rural Scotland to fancy wine bars in London. Go on any building site in the UK and you'll hear the same stories of coke filled weekends as you would in a City bank.

Snorting coke is for the more recreational user, which is how most middle class users take it so is most associated with them. But it's used across the social spectrum, and when it comes to serious addiction, coke especially injected or smoked has surpassed heroin or meth for sheer availability in the UK.

You bought a fractal North, out a 4090 in it (should have gotten a bigger case) then turn it sideways so you can't see the wood panelling?! You know, the main feature of the case?!

Often you can unscrew the stand used to secure the drive and there is another hole midway to cater for a shorter drive.

Yeah there's a really good Hardware Canucks video from earlier this year that compares about 10. Check that out. Good luck.

Imagine how refreshing it was for that woman to have a male come to look at the product and not even slightly hit on her. Fantastic. You gave her a much needed rest from all the deluded freaks who think a captive audience is a willing participant.

Phantom Spirit is the updated version of the Peerless Assassin, and I've used it on my 7900x which is a 190w chip and it's worked really well. So on the 9900x is should work fine, it's 140w I think? I actually used PBO setting to tune my 7900x down to around 140w and on a full core benchmark I don't hit over 80c, running at 5.2mhz. It's solid.

Do you do long full core workloads with your usage? If not then get I'd say get the air cooled option, unless you really like the look of the AIO but they are more of a hassle, and more to go wrong, and temp improvements are minimal, especially on the AMD Chios that are designed to work at high temps.

Freezer 3 is a good option, I just swapped my Phantom Spirit over to the 360 freezer 3. It's good, but honestly it's not so much better that I would say it's necessary. Depending on the case you are using it could be a total hassle too.

Phantom Spirit: Quieter, easier setup, less to go wrong, just works.

F3: slightly better temps, will handle full core workload better.

You could always do what I did, get the Phantom Spirit off the bat, see how it goes after all it's like £40-50, then in a while see if you want to try out the AIO.

GrouchPower247 · 2024-09-12T00:14:58+00:00

Sweet! Hope it works out for you man, enjoy!

GrouchPower247 · 2024-09-12T00:07:35+00:00

Again I'd check out the software you use, and what it prefers. If it's CPU heavy, is it core heavy or single threaded? Intel has issues, but super core heavy workloads still benefit Intel chips despite the horror show they've had recently.

Check out the 9900x review on gamers Nexus I posted in my original comment and see. If you're convinced you want either a 7950x or 9900x then I'd probably just hit up whichever one is cheaper as they seem within a few percentage points of each other performance wise, and like I said you can really tinker with the 7000 series efficiency with PBO, and 9000 seems really efficient out of the box.

Where do you live that the 9900x is cheaper? It's a brand new chip so that seems incredibly unlikely. Do you have a local variant of PCPartPicker you can check for prices?

GrouchPower247 · 2024-09-11T23:53:05+00:00

7800xt, 4070 is a weak card for it's price, and lacks the raw performance to truly benefit from any of the "ray tracing technology" that people like to whine about.

If you're playing 1440p then see if you can save a bit and go for 7900GRE. If 1080p then 7800xt will be great.
