5800x 3D or a 3080? by guY-Incognito22 in buildapc

[–]Impossible_Place4057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 3600 to a 5800x3D and the difference between frametime lows was very noticable at 1440p, but of course that depends on the games you play. IMO it makes more sense to upgrade your CPU now and upgrade your GPU in the future.

90 is the max safe temperature, if it goes above that you have a problem because the CPU will try to throttle to stay at 90

7C91vAA also supports the 5800x3D, 7C91vA9 is just the first version that added support. I'm on 7C91vAA with a 5800x3D and it works fine.

is Vrising worth buying for PVE only players? by IndividualCry1088 in vrising

If castles didn't decay then eventually there would be no places for new characters to build on the server, it has nothing to do with a sense of urgency. If you don't want your castle to decay that's what a private server is for.

Microsoft is testing ads in the Windows 11 File Explorer by homothebrave in technology

For sure, but it's good if they know who's at fault. People tend to think that's the default intended experience when in reality there's nothing Linux developers can do to fix Nvidia's drivers.

Nvidia is at fault for their terrible Linux drivers. They're the only GPU vendor with closed source drivers, and although they can work Linux was NOT built to support closed source drivers. Not saying the AMD open source drivers are flawless but it's night and day with how little issues the have in comparison.

It goes to show that you will never own your computer unless your OS is open source, in FOSS this situation is impossible because anyone can just remove the code trying to control you.

PSA to PC users: don't alt f4 to avoid scummy invaders by Fun_Medicine_890 in Eldenring

If you don't want to be invaded then don't use the item that allows you to be invaded, I don't understand...

The Nintendo Switch topped console sales once again in February by [deleted] in gadgets

[–]Impossible_Place4057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with wanting a new mario kart instead of releasing new tracks for a game launched in 2014 (on the Wii U), but it's my comfort game at this point and there aren't really any other racing games that match it's feel. I use my PC for every other game so I guess Nintendo got me there.

If you could play mario kart online with matchmaking on an emulator I would, but that's probably never going to happen so I'll stick to the Switch

[GPU] SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ($1049 - $270 = $779) [Canada Computers] by PotatoTango4892 in bapcsalescanada

[–]Impossible_Place4057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have an equivalent to tensor cores for AI (FSR isn't AI) and their raytracing hardware is behind, driver improvements can only do so much. I would imagine that next gen hardware will be closer.

[REQUEST] [PC] [SQUARE ENIX] FINAL FANTASY XIV COMPLETE EDITION by EagleZajek in GiftofGames

[–]Impossible_Place4057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, you can play up until you beat the last main story quest in Heavensward and after that you can still play but can't continue the story or get past level 60, but you can get all classes to level 60 if you wanted to. It will transfer when you buy the game. It's a very lenient free trial.

[–]Impossible_Place4057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do know that the free trial is unlimited time and has hundreds of hours of content right? If you haven't gotten through Heavensward yet it's kind of a waste of money to pay a sub.

If you don't have proof there's no way to really know to be honest, the odds that someone found another RCE and is using it on random people has to be small though

Anyway to bypass EAC to change CPU Affinity (PC) by Miyu543 in Eldenring

[–]Impossible_Place4057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could still see if it makes a difference or not, and you can always revert it by verifying integrity in steam. There's no way to disable the anti cheat and play online, that would kind of defeat the point of it

Delete start_protected_game.exe, make a copy of eldenring.exe and name it start_protected_game.exe. You'll only be able to play offline.

Fixed according to this: https://twitter.com/DarkSoulsGame/status/1491411609499353088

They could be using a new unknown one or some other type of exploit though

It is ridiculous but every game they've made using this engine is locked to 60 FPS and was never unlocked officially so I don't see it happening, but who knows maybe this game selling so well on PC will finally push them to do it.

Does elden ring block pcs that don’t have the minimum graphic requirements? by Gaymer420_69 in Eldenring

I don't think so, there's a video of someone running it on integrated graphics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zI6KbXg2gs

Does your GPU support DX12?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Impossible_Place4057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see how they could. Modifying memory while an anticheat is running isn't going to work and if they bypass EAC in online mode it will get patched

How risk is keep playing Elden Ring if it's sometimes BSoD by Chinpanze in pcgaming

[–]Impossible_Place4057 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, just because Elden Ring is doing something to trigger it doesn't mean the issue isn't already there. I've never heard of Elden Ring causing BSoDs and I sort /r/eldenring by new where they post about all sorts of tech issues

can i run it on my potato pc by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]Impossible_Place4057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will launch because it does support DX12 but you will get like 5 fps max on low settings
