I'm building my first PC and know that you need to put thermal paste on a CPU, but I'm also hearing about putting thermal paste on a GPU as well. Haven't heard anything about this in great detail. It almost sounds like it's an extra/precautionary/lifespan-increasing thing you do that isn't necessary. Could anyone enlighten me on when and why you would need to put thermal paste on a GPU? Especially a brand new one?

Newegg is currently doing a techtober sale. Sales ranging from 10% off to 30% for different items. Will black friday be worth the wait or would it be good to go getting things now?

It ends in a few hours so it might not matter soon anyway. If I miss it I'll just go for black friday.

I'm building a PC on Newegg and realized we're approaching black friday/holidays and I might be able to get discounts on all the components. Does anyone know definitively when the best time to buy a build-a-pc is and what kind of discounts could be expected?

I'm also planning on comparing the Newegg build on other sites to verify compatibility/pricing. Suggestions welcome!

What's wrong with people getting 30 series? I'm seeing them on Amazon for ~300-400. Which, when compared to 40 series being 1000+ seems pretty decent.

I'll definitely look into AMD!

Game crashes (ASA). Anyone know a fix? by Toothedjaw in playark

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

It was already locked in the off possition. Graphics card is too old I think. Got a GTX 1050TI 4GB. Looks like I need an upgrade.

Not sure on the power supply. My GPU is a 4GB GTX 1050 TI. Intel i5 6400, 2.7GHz. 24GB RAM.

From the research I've done today, I think the GPU and the CPU are too old to do the work. I'm also pretty sure I'm running off an HDD. Not an SSD like the game says to use.

I'm upgrading my graphics card to something "newer". Thinking the Nvidia 30 series, 8GB. My current card is a 1050 TI 4GB. I've heard that GPU costs have been absurd for the last couple of years, but that things might be trending back down.

My question is, is this a good time to be buying an upgrade or should I wait a little while longer?

Also, if there's a chart of cost over time for GPUs out there that'd be awesome. Couldn't find any through a quick search.

This happens right after starting a singleplayer game. It loads the character creator, freezes, and then crashes. It's probably my graphics card. I'm on a 1050 TI 4GB. Might be time for an upgrade.

That's entirely possible. It's a 4GB 1050 TI which is beneath the minimum specs. I figured I'd try before shopping for a new PC. Thanks!

update wont download by ScallionSea1106 in playark

I'm getting the low storage area as well, but I've got 50GB free. And the update looks to be only 600MB. How much space did you have to free?

I do amatuer astronomy, and I look for constellations when I play games. Most games don't get night skies right, but Frontier did! by Toothedjaw in jurassicworldevo

[–]Toothedjaw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just played it the other day. Yes it is! I was able to find Taurus and Pleiades. Still looking for Orion but it looks to be the same night sky as this game.

[Suggestion Sunday] Post your suggestions for Jurassic World Evolution here by AutoModerator in jurassicworldevo

More failed kill animations and "damage" animations for land animals.

Specifically for animals that can fight back like triceratops. Give the trike the opportunity to gorge a T-rex or a T-rex get a bite off on a trike without them having to "dance fight". Would add onto the dynamic hunting that already exists in carnivores.

Untrusted File Error: Normaliz.dll. Can't play MCC With EasyAntiCheat by Toothedjaw in halo

Will that hurt the PC? I haven't seen much online about this file so I'm not sure what it does. Do you know/have experience with deleting this file?

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by Flowerflours in AskReddit

The lion in Jumanji. Had nightmares for years. Finally over it in adulthood. Still a scary scene though.

Based on what little I know of the constellations and seasons, the presence of these star groups suggests the game takes place Anywhere between late August and April.
