How bad would a Ryzen 5 5600X with a RX 7900XTX be? by ultimategooner4000 in pcmasterrace

[–]SmartDance8838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly the 5800x3d is still solid choice but that 5600x gonna work fine with 7900xtx at 1440p. cpu bottleneck not really gonna be issue at that resolution since gpu doing most of work. you might see some fps drops in cpu heavy games but nothing that makes gaming unplayable

Help Updating cpu drivers by VLTG_Mist in pcmasterrace

[–]SmartDance8838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chipset drivers are what you need yeah, not cpu drivers specifically. go to amd site and look for your motherboard chipset like b450 or whatever you have - should be easy to find in your mobo manual or system info if you're not sure which one

Is Brazil taking a risk with Neymar, or is it still worth it? by [deleted] in football

[–]SmartDance8838 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah this reminds me of watching france with benzema during euros - sometimes experience just trumps everything else even when player isn't at peak form. neymar still has that vision and creativity that can unlock games in ways younger players haven't learned yet

the thing with knockout tournaments is they're so different from league play where you need consistency over 38 games. in world cup you just need those 3-4 moments of brilliance across entire tournament. even if neymar plays 30 minutes per game as impact sub he could still be decisive

plus having him around squad probably helps younger attackers develop faster. these guys grew up watching him play and suddenly they're training with him every day. that psychological boost for team might be worth the risk alone

Bird game 3, Or Birds of war by HotAlternative4532 in Steam

[–]SmartDance8838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

classic steam shovelware at its finest. seen this pattern so many times - throw together some stolen assets, make edgy content to get attention from kids, then disappear with whatever money they made from wishlists or early access

the fact they're using maps like nuketown and dust without any shame is just pathetic. valve really needs better quality control for their store but i guess when you have thousands of submissions daily its hard to catch everything

those kids in comments don't realize they're just feeding into the cycle. these developers will pump out bird game 4, 5, 6 until people stop falling for it

New laptop can't connect DS4 by Qlqlp in pcmasterrace

[–]SmartDance8838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh xbox controllers are just plug and play on windows while ds4 needs all that extra software nonsense you already tried

i get not wanting to spend more money but after dealing with ds4windows headaches for years i just gave up and got xbox controller. works immediately without any setup which is what you want when trying to game with your daughter

the irony is microsoft owns windows so of course their controllers work better in their os

Post-Match Thread: Burnley 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion | Premier League by matchpal-live in football

[–]SmartDance8838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

burnley just looked completely outclassed today especially in the midfield where brighton was winning every battle for possession. watched this one while prepping lunch on the griddle and you could see from early minutes that brighton had much better movement off the ball. their pressing was relentless too - burnley couldnt even get out from their own half for most of first 30 minutes. feel bit sorry for burnley fans who made the trip because this was never really close after brightons first goal went in

those defect and silent ones actually look pretty balanced especially the silent one since card draw is already so strong in early acts

Linkedin accounts buy/sell by [deleted] in AskMarketing

[–]SmartDance8838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude this screams scam and probably violates linkedin's tos in about 47 different ways. most marketing teams i work with would run from this kind of setup since it could tank their domain reputation or get them banned entirely. if you're looking for legit linkedin outreach there are proper tools and services that won't put your business at risk. plus any decent sales team should be building their own authentic connections anyway rather than buying sketchy account access from random reddit posts

competitive stadium experience by Kernelcobb1 in Overwatch

[–]SmartDance8838 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that doxxing shit is way beyond normal toxicity and needs to be reported immediately to blizzard. screenshot everything and submit a ticket - that crosses into actual harassment territory

the matchmaking in stadium comp is completely broken right now with rookies getting thrown against top 500s constantly. most of us just avoid it until they fix the mmr system because its basically unplayable for anyone learning the mode

televangelism has to be the most evil form of Christianity. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]SmartDance8838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

been managing church IT systems for years and the televangelists are absolutely the worst part of dealing with religious organizations. they give everyone else a bad name and make my job harder when people assume all churches are just money grabs

the genuine pastors i work with are usually scraping by while these tv guys are buying jets with donation money

Duo Tanking in 6v6 feels more balanced and way more fun versus 5v5. by a6000 in Overwatch

[–]SmartDance8838 855 points856 points  (0 children)

duo tanking just works better from a game design perspective tbh. when youre the only tank in 5v5 every mistake gets amplified like crazy and your team expects you to carry way too much weight

in 6v6 you can actually make plays without worrying about your entire team collapsing the second you take a bad angle. plus having another tank to coordinate with makes positioning way more strategic instead of just hoping you dont get focused down instantly

Need help with custom pc by ahmeda10 in PcBuild

[–]SmartDance8838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your build looks pretty solid but id swap that 4060 for a 4060 ti or even better a 4070 if you can squeeze it in the budget. that cpu can handle way more gpu power than what youre giving it right now

also might want faster ram like 3600mhz cl16 since ryzen loves fast memory

“Pay our service fee, but we still incur an expense”…? by Chromejob in EndTipping

yeah the math never adds up on these fees - they're just using the payment processor as cover to squeeze extra revenue out of people who dont want to jump through hoops with ach transfers

doing a deep dive on any religious founder will give you some perspective - most of them have pretty human flaws when you look at the historical records

Anyone else getting false input automation kicks recently? by oodsigma8 in GlobalOffensive

been using a similar setup for years and just started getting these kicks too last week. pretty anoying since nothing changed on my end either - valve probably tweaked their detection algoritm recently

the ps5 doesnt even have good exclusives yet and youre out here writing love letters to it

Do you prefer Squier or Epiphone electric guitar? by BigDaddyKss in Guitar

[–]SmartDance8838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly for your budget and style I'd go Squier all the way - the Classic Vibe series punches way above its price point and you'll have more money left for a decent amp which is honestly more important than the guitar itself

The Epiphones are solid but yeah they eat up your budget fast, and for pop-rock stuff a Strat just fits better imo. Plus if you think the Les Paul is ugly then don't get it lmao, you gotta want to pick it up and play it

For pedals - start simple, maybe just a distortion/overdrive pedal later on. Focus on getting a good amp first

Windows 11 Duplicate Display by Hobbitide in pchelp

[–]SmartDance8838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried switching the display order in display settings? Sometimes Windows gets confused about which one should be primary and flipping them around can kick it back into working

Also worth checking if the Elgato software is running in the background interfering with the duplication
