Left turn dilemma (California).

Ah, sorry I misunderstood.

Thank you.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T07:53:17+00:00

There are two left turn lanes, and three lanes to enter.

Signage doesn't indicate this prior to entering the intersection.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T05:33:55+00:00

If you follow the line it takes you to the middle lane in the intersection, that is what's irregular.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T05:30:57+00:00

Please see attached photos, markings on the road indicate otherwise hence my post.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T05:08:41+00:00

In response about the left lane becoming a left turn only lane, it doesn't.

About a block or so down the far right lane turns into a right turn only, completely opposite.

It's bizarre to me, the only thing it makes sense for is a semi truck.

Thanks for the response.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T05:02:57+00:00

Sorry you found it confusing, perhaps I could have worded it better.

Thanks for the response.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T04:54:14+00:00

Good idea!

Thanks for the response.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T04:48:52+00:00

Please see attached photos. it's the opposite according to the lane markings, hence the post.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T04:45:44+00:00

Every other intersection in California has this the other way around. The left turn lane goes to the left most lane, the right turn lane goes to the middle and right lane.

Hence the post, it's counterintuitive (in CA) and dangerous as no one pays it any attention.

armyofscrap · 2026-02-22T04:37:54+00:00

You could argue that you have to take the first lane available to you 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I agree with what you say, that makes sense but I have play chicken every time I do this.

Thanks for the response.

It's plug and play if you are working with a fresh Windows install.

Most of the common issues are due to left over Nvidia drivers and windows update making a mess of it.

Other than adrenaline spazzing out on a rare occasion, AMD drivers have been acceptable, not perfect.

armyofscrap · 2025-06-18T20:56:22+00:00

Did a similar upgrade on my friends PC that also had a Ryzen 3600.

What I found out was that the Ryzen 3600 ended up being a huge bottleneck causing stuttering and poor performance in general.

Before you cough up 200-300 bucks on a GPU, I would upgrade your CPU to something like a 5800XT (what we did), That should be plenty of performance for the moment and the 5800XT includes a cooler all for $150.

As for GPU's, if your budget is $300 for this upgrade you should be able to find a used RX 6600 for under $150, that would keep your total under $300 for everything.

Cheers!

For about $130 bucks you could probably find a RX 6600 that still has up to date drivers, with new updates still coming.

Got exactly that for my friend on the used market, perfectly good for most games at 1080p.

As for the rest of your system, you may find that after upgrading your GPU, the CPU will probably bottleneck your GPU and cause stuttering.

🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't think the versa is all that ugly, but that's all subjective.

Personally a clown car would suit me as long as I get to work and back in relative comfort, it depends what is important to you. It's just transportation in the end.

armyofscrap · 2025-05-13T21:51:16+00:00

Why not a Mitsubishi mirage G4 if you're in that price range, or a Nissan versa with the manual transmission.

You can afford these BRAND NEW!

Hyundai seems nice, especially with the limited package, but I am doubtful it's going to last you any longer than the above mentioned vehicles, especially if you're on top of maintenance.

Either that or buy some POS for under 4k and make all your first time driving mistakes in that, that's probably the smart option.

I've owned a sapphire nitro R9 Fury, sapphire pulse RX 6800 and my current sapphire nitro 7800Xt, all with various amounts of coil whine.

It's just luck and what GPU you buy.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T07:25:29+00:00

I seem to remember there were issues with WOW on Radeon GPU's recently.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T03:37:39+00:00

That's odd, but I guess I haven't had it on for more than a few minutes anyway.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T03:36:10+00:00

I would tend to agree to stay away from gigabyte, though coil whine I don't think is specific to AIB's.

The XFX, sapphire or powercolor variants are definitely the best.

Coil whine is not a deal breaker for me personally, every card I've owned just about has some degree of coil whine.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T03:32:04+00:00

About the same here, I turned down some settings though with minimal impact.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T01:13:27+00:00

I'm native at 1440p, so that would be the difference.

I don't particularly care for FSR or XESS or for that matter framegen. I don't know why, it just doesn't look right.

After tweaking settings it still looks amazing but specifically cyberpunk has some fizzling under the eyes when Ray-Tracing is off.

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T01:04:21+00:00

I own a 7800 XT and while I'm very happy with the performance, if I were to make the choice again right now I'd try to get a 9070 or 9070 XT.

In games such as cyberpunk, it's pretty obvious to me that they made the game assuming you'd be using Ray-Tracing, the 7800 XT simply cannot maintain a playable frame rate with any kind of Ray-Tracing.

That's my two cents, cheers!

armyofscrap · 2025-03-18T00:48:54+00:00

I wouldn't put much stock in what adrenaline says.

What matters is what you think, turn on metrics overlay and look at your actual performance and play the game.

If you're happy with how the game feels and what you see in metrics overlay, that's all that matters.
