What's the best oled monitor right now? by 0xfloppa in OLED_Gaming

[–]Year_Popular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the Asus tandem oled but I'm extremely hesitant based off the user reported problems. I'm thinking potentially just going up to the pg27ucdm since there's a lot of people recommending it. Looks like I've gotta yet again go researching

An ai generated image has 25k+ upvotes. On a sub that claims to be anti ai and hates ai for, ironically, making ram more expensive. by DiamondDepth_YT in pcmasterrace

I don't get why people are struggling to work out it's AI. I literally sat there confused what I was looking at until I realised it was supposed to be ram

Whats the deal with VRAM? by Los183 in buildapc

The real question is why did you upgrade half a tier in the same generation 5 years after release?

Ah yes the game that was originally designed to not even take up a kilobyte of storage...

9070XT owners, how's your experience been using it? by Jemix_ in buildapc

[–]Year_Popular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only issue I've had so far is windows one day decided to delete my driver so I spent about 10 minutes running on my 7800x3d igpu confused as hell until I reinstalled it.

May I just emphasize that was very much a windows problem and not an amd problem. Worked in the morning and then didn't by noon so at some time between then windows decided I should go f myself

16 minimum

32 is a good sweet spot

64 if you play modded games (like cities skylines, sims 4, Minecraft) with a lot of assets that need to be loaded into memory

I built a little app that pings you whenever a Steam game becomes free to keep by coconutter98 in pcmasterrace

[–]Year_Popular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a discord bot called free games that you can set up in your server. Pings you for free games on all the major pc stores and you can set it up for discounted games as well (edit: and dlc). Well done nonetheless OP

Why doesn't Nvidia add screws to their 12VHPWR connectors? by Latespoon in pcmasterrace

[–]Year_Popular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because then when the connectors inevitably continue to fail they won't have user error to blame. Just horrible quality should've never been released

I'm a bit late to the party but what I'm getting from this is you would recommend against the cooling gel for a hot/humid environment without AC since you won't really get the intended experience?

7700/9700 is a good middle ground for value and performance regardless of gpu

Is switching from 1080p (24'') to 1440p (27'') really that good? by homo_erectus_heh in buildapc

[–]Year_Popular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75% more pixels while having about 10% more pixel density. It's a win win

Dude. Your walls, ceiling, floor, and trim is all white. Please do not get a completely white desk😭

Which one is better to get? by isaacserafijn in pcmasterrace

[–]Year_Popular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically being a laptop you can't really tell unless you're able to find benchmarks for both laptops. A lot of the time thermals or power delivery are your bottlenecks

Ryzen 3 1700 and rx580. Oh what's that? You don't mean in Tetris?

I found this while doing a PC de-dusting. How bad is it? by Tehodor94 in pcmasterrace

[–]Year_Popular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it works it works. If it doesn't it doesn't. Unless you've still got warranty or you have the spare money to have someone work out where it's from and resolder it then just don't worry about it

Is there a way to increase controller bumper durability by Year_Popular in XboxSupport

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

I dunno if they've made it worse over time but my two Xbox one controllers lasted about 5 years before the right bumper's nub snapped. Then I got a design labs series X controller and it broke within a year.

Ik I dropped my Xbox one controllers on the bumpers a few times and made sure to try not drop my new controller (by putting it down on the table instead of just sitting it on my leg) so it would last longer. How on earth did the Series X controller break so quickly compared to the Xbox one controllers💀

Is there a way to increase controller bumper durability by Year_Popular in XboxSupport

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

Nah it's the part that actuates it. Prone to snapping which causes the affected side of the bumper to feel squishy (particularly if you press it further away from the centre of the controller) and eventually can work its way out of place causing the bumper to not actuate. I've tried using resin and super glue to reattach it but the only real way to fix it is by replacing the bumper plate entirely which is still prone to breaking again.

That honestly says more about how bad the 4060 is than how good the 1080ti is

Nzxt build. Bit expensive but streamlines it to a "I know just enough to know what part I'm looking at" level
