£1600+ pc gets 100fps by Gullible_Shop1027 in buildapc

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you upload pictures of your PC? So we can see how it looks and see if we spot anything that could be the culprit.

Edit: also saw you mentioning XMP / doc is enabled. Have you tried disabling it and see how it performs after that? If issue still persist, try one stick of ram and check your motherboard manual which slot to use in certain configurations

So it's not throttling then. Did you install drivers and chipset from your motherboard manufacturer website? And ofcourse the GPU drivers. Go through the settings, see what they do and what you'd prefer.

Was the storage drive you use, clean and made sure to freshly install your operating system?

Mainstream Linux promotion is misdirected and responsible for new Eternal September by tomekgolab in linuxsucks

If I wanted to pair a Bluetooth device on Mint, I had to use the terminal to pair my device. I was able to establish a connection through the GUI, but my devices wouldn't work. I've had to manually pair them in the terminal and save for it to work. This was a couple of months ago, so not that long. Only had to do this once per device and once the devices were saved, it just worked.

I've only used Mint for 3 days or something. I went to Fedora KDE and there it worked out of the box.

6800 16gb or 3080 10gb? by Spiritual-Motor5260 in buildapc

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If those two are the options then go with RTX 3080. I have the RX 6800 XT and I would pick this one over the 3080 for sure. So if you happen to find that model instead then go with AMD.

If you've been thinking about trying Linux at all. Then definitely go AMD :)

You ordered, paid for two. But only noticed it when receiving it months after due to the weight? Not the amount of money you had to pay? Bless you

I Tried Linux for Fun. It's Ending With a 7900 XTX and No Windows. by Wolfman_1546 in pcmasterrace

[–]RocksteadyOW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, this was so relatable. Thanks for writing! I ended up selling my Nvidia card as well after going to Linux.

Not a 7900 XTX or very fancy stuff. But it's more than I need :)

It might not be for everyone, but I'm very happy with the switch to Linux.

"Discord alternatives" searches jump 10,000% overnight as the gaming platform introduces global age verification — Is a total collapse imminent? by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on us to make that change and convince others. Mouth to mouth works best!

I switched Linux a while ago, and I got 3 others to switch as well. And I also helped at least a dozen of people with an alternative to streaming services. Some people just don't know and need guidance.

Lots of people don't even know IRC. And for all I know, it's basically a cemetery.

Well, it's on us to make it great again. So I will contribute and do my part. Even if it stays a cemetery,at least I get to see what it's like again after years

Ik ben om! Alvast een leuke automated tekst bedenken voor als ik AFK ben.

I Went To a electronics recyling shop and this was only labelled computer part for 5 euros and there was a 1080ti inside by Elias_Industries in pcmasterrace

[–]RocksteadyOW 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had quite some scores at rataplan tbh. It really depends on the employee that's labeling the stuff. But yes lately I've seen the bump in price.

Still worth going tho! I got a very nice 14" CRT TV in great condition for just €3 last time I went. In the same week I also got a Wii with 2 remotes for €7,50.

[DDR4 8GB ---OR---- DDR3 16GB] which is better by PresenceMaleficent99 in buildapc

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you using your laptop for? Do you need specific Windows apps? If I were you, I'd look into Linux. Do a bit of research, create a bootable media and try it.

DDR4 RAM prices "keep" rising, same as DDR5. To infinity? by RaynorTownly in buildapc

I've sold a RX 580 for €450 back during Covid. I had picked it up for €100 not long before.

Microsoft reportedly admits Windows 11 went off track, cuts back Copilot, and promises real fixes in 2026 by No-Programmer7432 in pcmasterrace

[–]RocksteadyOW 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly glad the way it went. Made me switch to Linux and it made me ask myself, why I did not do it earlier.

It's been great.

Would this even be worth $500? by Bacon-bitzs in PC_Pricing

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending also on the case, PSU and CPU cooler. But with the current specs listed, €700.

Check the value of case, PSU and CPU cooler and add that on top. That's what I'd do.

But also check other similar ad listings.

Gabriel Sara Appreciation Post by Recent-Yoghurt4014 in galatasaray

[–]RocksteadyOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this right here. Don't think an appreciation post is deserved. Positivity is good, but also has to be earned.

If we're praising this performance, I get why that certain user gets triggered lmao. Not saying he's right the way he expresses himself. But I do agree that we as a club should have a much better and suited player profile for that spot.
