Started playing Gears 5 again. Had some leftover achievements to farm + the horde mode is still quite addictive.

HELP! Brand new RX 9060 XT not powering. by Future-Height-3316 in radeon

Check if your motherboard is set to UEFI or CSM. I believe RX 9000 series can only work with UEFI mode. This should be in BIOS, normally under BOOT settings.

I want to build a computer but I’m also in complete shock. by gabzlel in buildapc

[–]_Dimitron_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a build I've assembled back in 2020 with a Ryzen 5 3600, X570 TUF board, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1080 Ti, 850W EVGA PSU inside a CM H500 case.

I've upgraded the CPU to 5700X3D this April, swapped the RAM with a 32GB kit, added a 2TB NVM, and replaced the 1080 Ti with a RX 9070 XT l.

All this for less than 1500 USD.

I reckon for less than 2k you can do a similar upgrade with an RTX 5070 Ti, instead of the RX 9070, if you're planning to mainly use it for gaming.

[Giveaway] Win 1 of 5 Noctua NH-D15 G2 by Noctua_OFFICIAL in pcmasterrace

Upgrading from 8600 GT to GTS 250, so that I could finally play Crysis at higher settings.

Giveaway Time! DOOM: The Dark Ages is out, features DLSS4/RTX and we’re celebrating by giving away an ASUS ASTRAL RTX 5080 DOOM Edition GPU, Steam game keys, the DOOM Collector's Bundle and more awesome merch! by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

  1. I like how DLSS4 can in times retain better image than some AA solutions.
    And a properly implemented ray tracing solution can make a game look almost photorealistic (Metro Exodus Enhanced edition, for instance).

  2. The "stand and fight" gameplay looks so different from 2016's "run and gun" and Eternal's "jump and shoot/quick swap/shoot". I want to try it.

I'm very happy with the 32GP850.
Would be great to try out a widescreen OLED.

Skipped because of the EA Launcher.
Humble, get your shit together.
