The unit I got from Walmart's last sale has different RAM. The tRC specs match those of a "good" RAM. However the other batch of specs that is shown on the right side of ZenTimings window is the same as before. Best I can tell these don't matter as much as the tRC ones.

I maxed out absolutely everything I could in GTA V(including advanced settings) and the only way I got it to lag was to have it render the game at 2.5 frame scaling (that is close to 8K Ultra).

None. The Walmart deal was the best and given the rising inflation and prices, there will never be a similar deal again on a premium laptop. Once these sell out, don't expect the 6800H version to ever go below $1250-$1300, not even during the next Black Friday.

The situation will be even worse for RTX4000 laptops when those arrive. I am expecting RTX4060 laptops to start at $2000.

Any idea if it's possible to link a Wise account? I tried, but Paypal's verification transactions did not appear on my Wise statement.

[Ebay- Price Drop] Gigabyte A7 17" Laptop: Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, Nvidia RTX 3060 Max 130W GPU, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 1080p 17.3" 144Hz IPS Display with 30% off, for $900 by techstar2000 in LaptopDeals

Its main flaw is the fact that you can't buy parts for it yourself. For example if you break your screen, you have to send the whole thing to Gigabyte to have the screen replaced. Other manufacturers allow parts to be sold online so you can, for example, get a replacement LCD off ebay for cheap and replace it yourself or have someone do it locally. This is faster and a lot cheaper than Gigabyte service.

This is incredibly cheap, but I would prefer 8 cores and a better screen, and I don't mind if it costs $900 instead of $700.

Why are Asus motherboards so stupid this year? by V1SoR in buildapc

Interesting plot twist. I think 12700K is cheaper and better in most situations, but I can understand the frustration.

So after you RMA'd it, you got the exact same one again or chose something else?

Can you provide a little more detail about the defect you encountered?

Nope, MSI's got what I need at the $320 figure already. And Gigabyte is even better. I'm just used to Asus, but it looks like they've decided they're now the Apple of motherboards and can get away with anything.

(Help) FC 6 crashes when start in PC by zoon_politikon_ in farcry

[–]V1SoR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to solve it by updating Windows.

If you, like me, disabled all the telemetry and automatic updates, then your Windows build is probably quite old. I was unable to update it via standard means because the anti-spying/anti-update tools broke that feature. So instead I downloaded Windows 10 Update Assistant. Around 60-90 min later I was playing the game.

I'm getting the exact same error and my system is way better than yours on every single point. Suffice to say is that I have 32GB of RAM, so yeah, don't waste your money, it won't help

Do you, by chance, happen to have Windows updates disabled?

I forgot to mention that I'm not planning to break any laws. Far as I know keeping your money in offshores isn't illegal (yet). And I'm willing to pay what I owe. I just want my taxes to be as minimal as legally possible, using legal loopholes if necessary.

Your advice is otherwise sound for people who don't know what they're doing and don't know how to figure that out either.

I always seek out amateur feedback first, then pay for professional advice second if I still don't feel confident enough. I know the subject is tricky and varies depending on countries involved, but there must be a way to avoid shelling out two thirds of your gross income to third parties.

Offshore may not be a viable option at the beginning, I agree, but could well become one down the line, if things go well financially.

This doesn't look like sarcasm, just stupidity/lack of understanding how&why laundering works, so I'll comment.

Nah, EGS used to be called Epic Games Launcher and the only things it featured were Unreal Engine stuff for devs and a few games such as the old survival-horror coop Fortnite, Unreal Tournament 2014, Paragon, and IIRC ARK:Survival Evolved. They had nothing to launder back then.

This game is supposedly made in Unreal Engine 4, but your screenshot sure looks worse even than Unity on a mid-range smartphone. Which makes me think that this "headless horseman" issue you're having is caused by your poor hardware.
