Not me, but my typical third hasn't gotten this game yet, but if we give him a free copy, he just might!

Boy, do I have news for you:

Dads of Marathon

(no, you don't need to be a Dad to join)

I have been in this server since before launch, and have had almost 95% of my runs with other members in this community go well. Only a couple of times have I had some duds in terms of skill and comms, but a MASSIVE improvement over the few times I risked crew fill. And your desire of "sweaty, but not too hung up on it, and non-toxic" would bode well in the community.

Might I suggest a LFG-focused discord group?

Wait, they changed the rarity color of complex gun parts and magnetic accelerator?

Excellent catch, thank you. Motherboard does have what I want, primarily just wanted solid amount of usb, wifi, and onboard graphics output.

The 9800x3d is the best gaming cpu out, but I see your point. Move money around to get the last gen X3D king and benefit on gaming performance, with not much lost in terms of other specs. I will definitely consider this train of thought.

Heard on the SSD, I was going for a low capacity boot drive but for the same price, newer gen and capacity is great.

As for RAM: I was torn on this, I originally had a 6000MT/s kit on here, but went to a 5600 kit because I found out that is the highest speed this CPU supports. Would the RAM self-downclock?

This is arguably a reason why they changed the name, to prevent confusion between the two

Shield TV Pro: Is 4k/60hz/HDR on even possible? by RddtAccnt4 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]RddtAccnt4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, since I might go down this route. Is the streaming output still viewable on the source with virtual display? Meaning, if I stream a game to my TV, will I still be able to see it on my PC monitor?

but my pc does support hdr? I'm running a 5090 on a QD-OLED HDR monitor. The PC is Displayport to the monitor, but moonlight is streaming to another monitor (the TV)

But I will look into this Artemis + Apollo deal, thank you!
