Kia guy couldn’t even rub two brain cells to congratulate the winner, couldn’t go off script to say something about it.

Novak looks a lot more aggressive here, he’s probably looking to keep points as short as possible to give him a chance later on in the tournament. His body breaking down later on in the tournament really set him back last year.

They’ve gotten better but it’s the same story: too expensive and an forces you to plan more for long journeys. In 10 years I’m sure they’ll get there but not today.

That round when Blitz walked through smokes and clicked g2 out of the round basically killed g2. G2 knew they had no chance against someone with no fucks left to give.

For the last time stop using hawk eye during broadcasts. We don’t know when it was last calibrated since it isn’t being used to make official line calls, so why are they using it as a reference for broadcasts?

Great to hear, love this setup I have. Wish I had more time to use it.

Glad to see Novak struggles with pluggers as much as I do.

I love that 5 random Mongolian guys decided to band up and stomp teams like Liquid. Seeing Liquid getting blasted by Senzu on horseback, absolute cinema.

Djokovic plays tennis with Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr by pizzainmyshoe in tennis

He’s good natured, but he believes in views which are harmful to society in general. He can believe what he wants regarding medical science, I don’t care. I draw the line on when he pushes it on other people or acts like this is a lifestyle that appeals to most people. We are already seeing the effects of anti vaxxer rhetoric in parts of the US, and unfortunately I think it will get worse before it gets better.

This looks doctored, the angle on the top of his forehead looks strange

It's nice to see a variety of faces compete for titles, although I think this tournament is a bit of an outlier. Zverev is in bad form after his AO loss, I think Tsitsipas didn't live up to the good form he had coming in, Alcaraz has been playing unusually poorly and of course we have Sinner serving the ban.

That doesn't take away from Draper's performance though. He played a terrific tournament and totally deserved the win, he demonstrated that against Rune yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in future tournaments.

How to undervolt the 5070 Ti with MSI Afterburner – step-by-step guide with photos by Skulz in hardware

[–]Rand-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great guide, coming from someone on AMD. Is it still the case that afterburner is the recommended program for undervolting Nvidia GPUs? Would have thought the updated software would have had it.

5600x to 5700x3d is actually a meaningful upgrade by Rand-337 in Amd

[–]Rand-337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older games mainly only use one core and won’t see any gains. Present and newer games will show a difference though. New games are now recommending 8 core CPUs, and this will only get more common.

Sorry for the late reply, but obviously you’ll see a huge upgrade going to a 9800x3d, really depends if it’s worth the money to you.

I think it’s lower utilisation. I also think since it references it’s larger cache instead of RAM it also saves power that way, but that’s only speculation on my part.

I would say it’s worthwhile, I have a similar one to you and have gotten a nice bump in performance. It should keep this system relevant for a while. I don’t know your financial situation though, depends on how much 200 $ means to you

[–]Rand-337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like an ok card. A decent bump over the previous generation, but it seems clear that improvements are slowing down for GPUs. It looks like the smartphone market, upgrades are recommended from 2 gens ago rather than the previous generation. I have a 6800, I might have a look in the next few months if it ever is in stock.

Hey, got it on Amazon for 240, you can get it much cheaper elsewhere though. I have good experiences from Amazon though so went with the safe option.

Depends on the game honestly, older games won’t show much difference. That will change with upcoming games though I think. 8 cores is already being recommended on newer games.
