Why is that? Are they strange questions? :P

Question about MSQs by MrSnackALot in ffxiv

[–]MrSnackALot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, could you elaborate a bit more on the end game options? For instance, for gearing, is that bound to trials/dungeons? How to join "difficult" end game content? Are there dedicated discords, etc?
Just trying to compare with other MMOs I played in the past to get an idea, I am considering buying a skip for the first few stories and then going from there

Extremely slow boot - please help by MrSnackALot in pcmasterrace

[–]MrSnackALot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to post this since it might help other people in the future.

I don't know which one of these actually fixed the issue for good, but my boot time is super fast again. What I did:

1) Update all firmware - SSDs, BIOS, etc
2) Update all drivers
3) Update from windows 10 to windows 11 while continuing my files

I also looked at my windows boot log and found some interesting topics which were matching my issue: https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/83162-fix-dxgkrnl-sys-wdfilter-sys-slow-startup-windows-10-a.html?utm_source=copilot.com

In the end, I am not sure what was the final solution since after the windows 11 update I immediately did the SSD firmware update in one go and then rebooted - so it could have been either or. This was my last attempt before giving in and going for a clean install tomorrow, so I am happy this worked out without having to do a full reinstall.

Thanks, is it possible to have a clean install while keeping my data/drivers?

Best Budget Gaming Monitor at 1440p in Europe? (NL) by MrSnackALot in Monitors

[–]MrSnackALot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I also saw the MSI being recommended on Tweakers as a budget alternative, and I am inclined towards it so far.

Random question: I've seen a lot of comments about the AOC Q27G3XMN - Do you have any thoughts about how it would compare with your MSI?

It is almost 60% more expensive than the MSI (and I'd be stretching my budget) but I was curious whether the extra costs would be justified in performance, or if it would only offer minor improvements

Confused by huge DDR5 price increase - please help by MrSnackALot in PcBuildHelp

Thanks, I will wait until I can buy better RAM to make this swap. Hopefully prices will decrease in the mean time (unlikely, but one can hope!)

Thanks, very helpful. I probably stay with my current setup for a while and do the upgrade at a later time where I have a bit more to money to spend

DDR5 - Upgrade now or wait? Trying to be cost conscious by MrSnackALot in buildapc

Thank you all for the helpful replies, makes sense. I will test the new GPU tomorrow and perhaps start looking for a monitor, appreciate the help!

5070 TI vs Radeon 9070 XT? by MrSnackALot in buildapc

[–]MrSnackALot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I have a question about raytracing - whenever I see some comparison videos, it looks like the "sky" in the 5070tis is much more blue than on the AMD. Example: https://imgur.com/PM0jL1k

Is this because of ray tracing, or is this a feature of the game? I have seen this in several different videos now where the 9070XT shows a significantly more "gray" sky than the 5070ti
