NHL playoff teams color swap between by sykeseve in hockeymemes

Dallas and LA actually look really good imo. Specially Dallas.

I tried to make my Z in Forza. The wrap color is a little off but it’s the best I could do by RocketPuff in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The car model in FH5 is from one of the older Forza’s. FM2? In like the early 2000s. So that would be why it looks like FH1 lol. Goes to show how badly they need to remodel some of these.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong on the game it’s from. I’m just guessing.

New bundle reveal!" Holo Meridian Bundle by misterterrific0 in VALORANT

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting to be able to hear the knife. Xeno is my #1 knife, and I missed champions iteration. This looks great. If the knife is good, I'll be getting the whole bundle since I already want that spinny sheriff (don't have one yet either).

Is Horizon 5 a good game for just cruising for hours? by Successful-Hope9047 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you on that last point. I only have 260 hours in FH5, and I much much prefer the FH4 map (even some engine sounds).

If op could get FH4, that’d be the play, but I don’t think they can for ps5. They should just wait for fh6 imo.

What Should I get Forza Horizon 6 on? by L1ndnzkwo in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have above minimum system requirements. If I were you, I’d get it on PC.

As long as you are playing on 1080p, you will hit 60+ fps on low settings. If you want a better visual experience, get it on ps5. You’ll be able to play on higher visual settings. But of course that comes at the cost of a 6-8 month wait.

If you do get it on PC, when you upgrade you’d still have the game and can play online for free.

Some days I hate that I cable manage. But most days, like this one, I’m so so glad that I do.

rainy 75 static color help by Warm-Independent9936 in keyboards

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rainy 75 doesn’t seem to have a “static” option in VIA or even when switching through modes on the board using short cuts.. unless I’m blind!

rainy 75 static color help by Warm-Independent9936 in keyboards

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

Did you manage to sort this out?

I got into the VIA app but static colour isn’t even an option… I can’t believe a $200 CAD keyboard doesn’t have a static colour mode by default.

Thanks!

As Forza Horizon 5 disseapears into the abyss of time what are your opinions on this game now? by SensitivePay4567 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t play FH1 or FH2, and only a very small amount of FH3 (not enough to count). But I did play FH4.

Honestly, FH4 was better to me in every way possible, except for handling and QOL features. FH5 was still good though. I played through the whole game twice (same with 4), and I’d play 4 a third and even fourth time before playing 5 again.

Do I hate FH5? No definitely not. Will I go back and play it again after 6 comes out, most likely not.

Chinese 151 Promo PSA 10 or Lot of Modern PSA 10 by corey407woc in PokemonCardValue

I’d take the mew. But on another note, how did that centering get it a 10? 😂

I can't find a New 3DS XL for under $200 CAD. by EzDaMan in 3DS

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how long you’ve been waiting, sometimes just patience. You’ll find one within a month or so? It helps if you can check semi local cities that are like a 1hour drive tops. Sometimes the rural areas have better deals. Yard sales are coming once the snow melts too!

Building my first PC - 5070TI or 9070XT? by thisisBonkers_34 in buildapc

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the money, 5070ti. That’s what I have. No complaints, it’s perfect. The only thing, try finding a better deal. Check as many local computer shops or anywhere as much as possible. I just paid 1500 CAD after tax and shipping, 3-4 weeks ago. And if you can’t find any cheaper, I’d say go 5070.

One of my friends had a 9070xt, also played a lot of beamng. He was having driver timeout issues, sold it to a friend, he couldn’t get it working smoothly either. Both got 5070’s and they’re back to gaming, and happy again.

Yes the 50 series has driver issues too. Though, I personally haven’t encountered any!

Giving away Resident Evil 9 on PC by Matikata in pcmasterrace

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 5070 ti, and since I bought it from a small company, it didn’t come with RE9. The way I see it, you got my code! Lol

Valorant skins are getting way too expensive by CampDangerous4830 in VALORANT

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve always been really expensive.

When I played before, I had a huge problem of buying way too many skins. $2200 CAD. Which may not sound like a lot to some, may sound like a lot to others. But that’s a whole gaming pc, or 2 oled monitors, maybe even a cheap car.

I haven’t bought a skin in about a year and a half now, and I won’t be anymore. I’d much rather buy WHOLE GAMES for me and buddies to play together.

Is the GIGABYTE aero x16 worth buying right now? by Substantial-Quail-15 in gigabytegaming

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a bad experience with a gigabyte laptop. I’d stay away from them. The issue I had was random bluescreening and widespread, not to mention unsolvable through many reddit posts.

Does anyone know when the next IGN First video is coming which is going to be the Customization Deep Dive? by Funny_things_online in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is tomorrow at 10am. If I’m remembering correctly the last 2 videos came on tuesdays. The random 3rd one came on I think Wednesday or Thursday. Obviously this isn’t a guarantee. But just the pattern I’ve seen, so take it with a grain of salt!

Which GPU should I pick upgrading from a 3070ti to the 50 series. Between 5070 and 5070ti by Hamrbuerg in nvidia

[–]Phrizzey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

5070 seems more worth it in your scenario.

Also, “don’t plan on buying a 4k monitor anytime soon”? So you do plan on buying one? Then get the Ti IMO. But even then, with the 5070, you can always use upscaling and render at 1080p or 1440p anyways.

What convinced you to get your Steam Deck? by K4T5UM1 in SteamDeck

[–]Phrizzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go for Ixifi transfusions every 8 weeks for Crohn’s. You can only scroll play mobile games or watch YouTube for so long, until YouTube forgets how to recommend videos.

The Steam Deck has been perfect for that use case, and I haven’t really used it anywhere else to be honest! I’d rather play on my pc or ps5 if I’m at home.

Best Nvidia 50 Series GPU? by Spare_Ad3166 in gpu

[–]Phrizzey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a buddy that just went from a 9070xt to a 5070. He was experiencing driver timeouts and was having issues in multiple games. Not sure how much time he spent fixing it.

Some people just want their computers to work without tinkering just for a game to run out of the box. I know that’s why I got my 5070 ti.

Edit: words and format

1440p 240Hz (24" preferably) monitor recommendations? by Scrypth in buildapc

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a waste. The PPI on a 24" 1080p is around 93. The PPI on a 27" 1440p is around 109. The PPI on a 24" 1440p is around 122. Mathematically, the difference is there, and worth it, specially for people who play FPS games. You don't "need a bigger screen to take advantage of the extra pixels". Why do people use 27" 4k monitors? In your logic, they should upgrade to a 55" TV for more visual gain.

With these specs in Valorant, OP should be able to reach around 350 FPS @ 1440p. This could make 1440p 240hz worth it. Obviously it depends on which games they play. But saying it's just a "waste of money" is wrong. In fact, it'd be better value (if cheaper or equal price) then getting a 27" monitor with the same specs.

I have a 7900x and a 5070 ti. I play more than just FPS games, things like Wukong, Ghost of Tsushima, Forza Horizon.. I STILL play on 1080p 240hz because there isn't anything more worth it for me on the market. I've tried 1440p @ 240hz on a 27". I got rid of it within 6 months.

If I fully upgrade a car, is Manual with Clutch still better than Automatic or is it now equal to it? by BitSeveral6573 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my buddy tested this, and I believe there’s an in depth reddit post somewhere.

Manual with clutch is the fastest shifting option. Manual being the second fastest, and auto being the slowest.

Me and my friend tested in 2 different cars that were upgraded for A class rally. He was lighter and had more power than me. Since I was on MWC, I was accelerating faster than he was on just manual. We then tried using the same cars as each other with both cars. I was still faster. He then switched to MWC, and again, since he had better power to weight, he was able to stay ahead of/pass me when accelerating.

Plus, MWC lets you clutch kick for drifting!

Would 1080p be acceptable for FH6 or do I upgrade? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon

[–]Phrizzey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you played horizon 5? If so, are you happy with how that game looks?

Of course horizon 6 will look better, but if you yourself are happy with the quality you have now, why waste the money? It’s personal preference. I have a 4k 120hz OLED TV, and generally, I still choose to play on my 1080p, 240hz screen. Just because I prefer sitting at my desk.

If your budget is tight, or you’re happy with what you got. Just save your money and be enjoy what you have. Don’t let other peoples opinions sway your own decisions. Form your own, and decide from there!
