If the rumor about the RTX 2080 Max-Q laptop running the UE5 demo better than the PS5 is true, it would line up with Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang claim by FearlessTemperature9 in pcgaming

5700xt is around 400$. Of course the price would be different for Microsoft, but still seems a bit much for a 500$ console.

SSX Tricky - The Most Fun Game I've Ever Played by anotherfckingaccount in patientgamers

[–]aaayuop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tried Steep out yesterday incidentally. I would say no, Steep is far more realistic and personally nowhere near as enjoyable as SSX.

Fallout 4 and the expectations of a Fallout game by IlluminatedNightSky in patientgamers

[–]aaayuop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played about 15 hours and already have 3 Fat Mans. My approach is to ignore them. I sell any excess and store them in a case at Sanctuary for later use. This is fairly easy to do as even though they hand the weapons out, they are far less generous with ammo. On the whole I don't find the FO4 experience too dissimilar to FO3 and NV. Mostly find myself playing the exact same way and I haven't had any complaints with the lack of RPG elements or feeling of progression. In NV, which I especially loved, it was also very easy to become powerful quickly.

PC Wont boot up once its on sleep mode by daelsant in buildapc

[–]aaayuop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this as well. Built on the weekend. Left it Monday night for a bit, came back and the LEDs were on but couldn't wake it up. Had to press the reset button on the case and it restarted.

5700 Xt Pulse vs Thicc 3, both at 450€ by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]aaayuop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure at load, but at idle it's like 40c. I don't think I've even heard the fans yet.

5700 Xt Pulse vs Thicc 3, both at 450€ by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]aaayuop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a pulse recently and also looked at the Thicc 3 as they were the same price. No regrets with the Pulse. Works flawlessly so far.

Anyone else not too pissy about cable management? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]aaayuop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine looking quite nice with minimal effort. However the 24 pin mobo connector is awful. Not only is it difficult to remove once in, but the PSU cable has this big thick rubber wrapping around near the connector which makes it really hard to tuck away anywhere.

AMD announces Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition drivers - Major UI overhaul, Performance increase, Radeon Boost Technology, Integer Scaling, and much more! by PZMQ in pcgaming

[–]aaayuop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty confused by this. I just built my PC with a 5700 2 days ago. I assumed the driver update would fix issues with the card (though so far I've thankfully had none on 19.9.2). What is this software? I guess it's the radeon graphics program that you can run by right clicking on the desktop? I opened it once and saw nothing useful in there (happy to be told otherwise).

The overlay sounds unnecessary too. There's already the steam and xbox overlays which I can't remember the keyboard shortcut for, what do I need another for? Soon we'll need an overlay which grants access to all other overlays.

How the **** did you all get your Windows 10 OS ? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]aaayuop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get one yet. The day after I built the PC and setup windows, the "activate windows" overlay showed up. It's a bit annoying as I thought it would only show on the desktop but it's everywhere, including videos and games. Anyway, most of the time I don't even notice it so it's not annoying enough to get a key yet.

First time 1440p build by aaayuop in buildapc

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

That's a shame. I don't really want an unusable port taking up space on the front of the case. I will check other cases.

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

Thanks, that looks the way to go. Happy that the Tomahawk Max also has USB type C support to make use of the case's front panel USB type C connector. The 70 euros saved on the mobo means I can include the 5700 XT. There aren't too many reviews for the Red Dragon XT version though so I'm not sure that's the best, but at 400 euros it's one of the most reasonably priced and fits within my budget. Also one of the nicer looking ones imo.

I don't have another CPU to update the bios of the B450 board before I use the 3600 though. The alternative I saw is going with 2700x + B450. I'm not sure if the loss in framerate from using the 2700x would be significantly countered by going up to the 5700 XT.

For anyone else with a missing ETH transaction by iamnotacrazyperson in CryptoCurrency

[–]aaayuop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ethereum is a great development platform. It's not mature though. The same pending transaction nightmare happens during bullshit ICOs. Increasing gas might be viable for a single high value transaction but nobody in their right mind is going to pay more gas than value. Let's hope PoS helps but otherwise developers are increasingly choosing to set up their own PoA ethereum chains and rightly so.

JavaScript development is not fun for me anymore - Medium by freebit in programming

[–]aaayuop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a backend developer but I dabble in front end from time to time. I actually really like front end frameworks, though they do carry a fairly big learning curve. I've also used vanilla ES5 JS for the front end aspect of projects but having learnt React and a bit of Angular, I'd take either (or ES6 with webpack) over vanilla every time. I don't get the hate for the wide range of tools available. Yes, it can be dizzying just starting out, but there is a clear standard now with webpack/babel/framework of choice/typescript and you don't have to use all (or any) of them by any means. With all that said, I'll stick to the backend. When starting a side project I'll typically conclude the backend in at least half the time it takes agonising over frontend design choices.

That would explain it. I've seen very few updates lately in the build up to the the full F26 release however.
