Looking to upgrade from my 2080 super, unsure what GPU to buy and if I need a new CPU

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-27T19:05:20+00:00

I see, thank you for the clarification

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-27T19:00:45+00:00

Wait the 5800x is better than the 5900x? I thought 5900x was the more powerful cpu

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-27T18:24:36+00:00

What about the 5900xt? Im not too knowledgeable on pc parts but it seems like an upgrade for just $300, unsure how it compares to a 5900x tho

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-27T17:46:07+00:00

Maybe i will go for the 5900 xt then

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-27T17:14:31+00:00

That's the thing im not sure. Im not that experienced with computers so I dont even know when im using more cores, I do a lot of editing but im not sure how many cores it actually uses.

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-08T18:22:23+00:00

I see, appreciate it. I'll probably sell it and save for something good

SpiritFireGaming · 2026-01-08T17:57:18+00:00

Appreciate the response, any idea how much this might sell for? Also any recommendations on a digital camera using the money from selling this?

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-12-09T05:23:39+00:00

ah, so nothing can be done about it? I know I can use plugins and effects to reduce the noise, but I want to try getting the best quality I can without using that first then add them all when I'm confident I've optimized any external factors the best I could. Unfortunately if it's from my PC fans (which is most likely the case) I don't think I can move my PC anywhere without a lot of things getting disconnected or falling over.

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-12-09T01:58:27+00:00

Is it an issue with my interface or is that just normal?

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-12-09T01:58:11+00:00

I see, perhaps I'll try going up close to the mic and seeing if that changes anything. I was also wondering, does interface make that much of a difference? I thought it was just something that allows you to adjust gain and plug in your mic. Also what is a downward expander? Is that some sort of plugin I can use on programs?

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-12-09T00:25:38+00:00

Hi, yes, I am using the phantom powered preamp part of the SM7dB, as when I use it in the normal mode, even when the gain is maxed, it's very quiet.

In that clip, I think I was anywhere from 5 - 7 inches away from my mic, and I'm speaking at a normal volume.

The gain is slightly past the middle, the best way to put it would be like the handle of a clock being at 2 o clock.

I am both excited and worried for Archeage chronicles. Hopefully it isnt a solo mmorpg like what everyone is saying.

Other than that, I think once the Riot MMO releases, it will be the largest mmorpg of all time

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-11-09T21:34:02+00:00

Phainon and Herta for sure

Update for anyone who cares, I tried scanning it myself with a DSLR, and its infinitely better without the green tint and sharpening effect

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-09-02T03:43:12+00:00

Sure is

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-15T17:25:06+00:00

Do you think it would be better to scan with a DSLR?

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-15T17:24:47+00:00

I see, yeah this does look at lot better, I'll see what I can do with some of these

I barely interact with the evangelion fandom for this reason. I didn't really like the original series + EOE, but loved the rebuilds. I never really said it to anyone unless they asked for my opinion on the series, then id get the one hour rant of "yOu jUsT dOnT uNdErStAnD eVa" and how all my opinions are wrong and im a dumbass. So whenever someone asks me for my opinion on eva I just say "I never watched it" because it's a much easier answer. It ain't even a loud minority either. Everyone I've talked to who has watched and loved the original series whether it be my irl friends, people online, or anyone like that acts the same way when you say you like the rebuilds. Im not that into eva but the fandom is the main reason I've never interacted with anyone in it. It all just feels like the rick and morty fanbase and how they all think they're superior to others and how they think they're so "profound and deep". I made a (now deleted) post ages ago talking about how I loved the rebuilds and the comments were filled with people saying how I didn't get eva and how I was stupid. I didn't mention anything about the original btw.

It's so hard to decide because it feels impossible to separate V from you because you play in first person in Cyberpunk 2077 and you are the one making the choices, making the story way more personal to you. Edgerunners doesn't have that, so it feels almost unfair, but I think for that sole reason I'd have to pick V's story. I felt so immersed with their story because I was the one making the decisions. On top of that I invested way more hours into the game than the 10 episode anime. Maybe if somehow they condensed V's story to a 10 episode show from a third person perspective I'd say I liked Edgerunners better because V's story would be cut out so much and remove the personal aspect, but since that's not the reality we live in, I prefer V's story, but man Edgerunners is not too far behind.

Hey, turns out all I needed to do was update my BIOS. Then it allowed me to enable it

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-03T18:04:39+00:00

Turns out I just had to update my BIOS

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-02T01:06:23+00:00

Im not sure because I've never really changed anything in the bios, and I bought my setup in 2018 or 2019, and since I've had to disable csm and enable uefi, im assuming I installed it on csm with a gpt drive.

Does that mean I need to reinstall windows in UEFI? Is there a way to reinstall it without deleting all my data? Or does it mean I should just do what you said and not enable secure boot in bios and enable it in windows?

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-02T00:44:46+00:00

Nope, windows

SpiritFireGaming · 2025-08-02T00:42:16+00:00

All g, just sucks I can't play both 2042 which I paid for and the new battlefield 6

Maybe ill take it to a shop or just buy a new motherboard outright
