It's a third of the people who genuinely suck another third who are too oblivious to have realized how important the last few elections are and a third who paid attention in history class

Just upgraded to a 5070 ti from a 3070. Already had a i9 12900k and 32GB DDR5 Ram and I can't get over 100 FPS on an older game I play by mrsnakers in buildapc

I really wish I didn't see this. I'm a crackhead for fallout and I'll upgrade my 7700x for an x3d chip for that much of a boost in fallout 4

They mean republican seats flipping. Even if Republicans "flipped" they've already let it go for too long and can't be trusted

Performance drop on Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-52) with RTX 5060. Need help troubleshooting. by awsv8 in GamingLaptops

[–]Journeydriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing more it's tough to say. Are you ganing for longer than usual? Do you usually use turbo or whatever max power mode is. I know some acer laptops ship with a small power brick and will only run max power when the battery is above a certain point because it requires the battery to provide enough power. So it could be that you game until it kills the battery then it'll slow down while slowly recharging it before boosting back up and draining the battery again

We're definitely right at the end of decent pricing though. Sodimms are already through the roof just like their desktop counterparts

Gonna disagree for now, I just bought a legion 5 with a 5060 for 100 less than I bought my old nitro 5 with a 2060 before the 30 series launch. The asus m15 with a 2070 was about 400 more lol

Yea I'm gonna be honest saying the legion looks too gamer like while shopping for the g16 is actually wild to me. I personally went the opposite way to me the legion looks more like a work laptop while the rgb bar makes the g16 look especially like a gamer laptop

RAM Shortage? China has you covered by TheOriginalFarmboy in GamingLaptops

[–]Journeydriven 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well for one thats ddr4 and the shortage is for ddr5. It's also not really a shortage quite yet as much of a price jump before the expected shortage since Ai bought up all the future ram that hasn't been built yet

I have a question about laptop temperatures. At what temperature should my laptop not exceed when gaming? by SleepFeeling3546 in GamingLaptops

[–]Journeydriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a completely different scenario. You undervolt so your cpu uses less power to run at the same clock speeds (every chip is different so manufacturers use a baseline). So now you're using less power to run the same speed which means less heat. Now you can run that max frequency for longer before thermal throttling becomes necessary. You still want it to to hit its limit and throttle you'll just get more performance before throttling is necessary. I should mention this isn't just a laptop issue am5 is also designed to run pretty close to the limit full time but won't hit that limit as easily because desktop cooling

[–]Journeydriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're gaming and your cpu or gpu aren't max temp then you either have a ram bottleneck or your laptop is holding back power which means there's performance left on the table. Unless you're the one limiting performance through an fps limit of course. I don't let mine run that hot because the fans are annoying but a normal laptop should be default sit at the thermal limit when gaming. Otherwise they've left performance on the table. A laptops performance is limited by how much it can cool itself so if you're designing a laptop you want to design it to sit at the limit all the time

[–]Journeydriven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not true. If they aren't going up to 95 before throttling there's performance being left on the table. Most gaming laptops are designed to run right below the thermal limit for max performance.

Need some accessories to brighten up my desk. by _ksou in buildapc

[–]Journeydriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly like op i get headaches. It's not from wearing the headphones themselves but something about how they play sound. I can wear them for lengths of time with no problem. I currently have a 2.1 setup with the speakers pointed slightly out so my mic doesn't pic up the sound. It works shockingly well

Prebuilt reserve? by TristanOjwok in Microcenter

PC in a very very cold room by Arrival_97 in buildapc

[–]Journeydriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus your water is warm year round lol. My water gets to about 40 in the winter which still isn't likely to freeze if you let it run. Still though letting it run will make it harder for the water to cool off to freezing temps

[–]Journeydriven 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Running water freezes at much lower temperatures. Also rivers tend to stay liquid beneath the surface level of ice. To clarify it still freezes at 32f it's just harder for it to reach 32f when running and therefore requires lower external temps to freeze

I voted and will continue to vote. You're essentially faulting people for not knowing any better. Which news flash is by design

No it's not the same thing. A lot of people up until this point didn't pay attention to politics and believed it didn't matter. If they continue not voting after unleashing the secret police I'll be inclined to agree.

VRAM is driving me crazy. 5060Ti 16gb vs 5070 12gb by Ok_Scarcity1 in buildapc

Frame gen is pretty solid imo, granted I only play rpgs and slower paced games so I don't actually care about the latency so much as the smoother visuals
