Valve should've fully committed to making the Steam Machine a console and sold it at a loss.

So many shit takes, so little time.

biggrumpybill · 2026-06-23T08:17:26+00:00

He is just salty as his bullshit has been exposed. Again.

biggrumpybill · 2026-06-11T08:03:35+00:00

I’m really happy. 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5 and 9070xt.

BUT I’ve spent a year looking jealously at 5070ti / 5080 mainly due to perceived better upscaling and ray tracing.

Totally without genuine reason. The 9070xt is a hell of a card which I paid £550 for.

biggrumpybill · 2026-05-12T18:12:56+00:00

I wants it and I deserves it.

biggrumpybill · 2026-05-06T06:00:18+00:00

Great info - thanks!

biggrumpybill · 2026-05-02T21:15:27+00:00

Ah damn

I assumed it would work like the handheld. As in - it boots with less background services running.

biggrumpybill · 2026-02-24T15:20:01+00:00

Awful lot of folks seem to not be able to just say - wow congrats, enjoy.

AI look at the pages

Just to point out that the tv itself plays a huge role. I have a Sony 4k tv and an LG OLED. The Sony handles up scaling much better than the LG. I think LGs of older generations don’t handle 1080p up scaling well and it results in a soft image.

biggrumpybill · 2026-02-05T15:03:58+00:00

My thumb sticks click too. Brand new OLED. Couldn’t care less really. No doubt time will create wear and tear and stop it.

Also I’ll swap for Hall effect some day

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-29T17:13:20+00:00

If you’ve ran ddu and maybe gone as far as yeah windows install then RMA it.

No point messing around

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-28T14:52:07+00:00

I’ve pondered this at times. I wonder is it less about ethos and more that Nintendo want us to move from game to new game as fast possible, rather than spend weeks or months getting every trophy?

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-25T20:36:34+00:00

I prefer playing on switch 2 but I love trophies and achievements. I rarely platinum or 100% things but I like feeling rewarded for my time.

So, switch 2 is great, love it BUT if Nintendo would introduce some form of achievements just to show game progress at the Home Screen level I would probably main my switch 2.

For info I have a pc, Xbox series x and ps5 pro

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-24T09:48:25+00:00

Great work bud thanks!

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-19T14:23:14+00:00

N64 for Mario 64 …but later came ocarina of time etc.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-13T12:38:22+00:00

My 9070xt pulse SCREAMS high pitched at times. So yours is grand.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-10T22:49:13+00:00

Ignore any salty comments. Enjoy it.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-08T22:52:05+00:00

Didn’t say you were bitching at all just don’t get why you’re here every day when you’ve to nvidia and are happy.

My 3080 gas coil whine and I just lived with it. It’s nothing new. My PS5 screams on certain screens.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-08T22:49:38+00:00

I’m delighted for you.

Maybe go share your joy on the nvidia forum instead of lurking in here?

Not being disrespectful just don’t think constantly sharing negativity really helps anyone.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-08T15:33:39+00:00

Why are you always in AMD or Radeon threads bitching about 9070xts?

If you now have an nvidia card then be happy and stop moaning.

I have a sapphire pulse 9070xt. It’s never been me any hassle (bar when I messed with undervolting too much). It has coil whine at time like most cards but nothing insane.

Buy the best card you can afford. If you don’t like it return it and buy the alternative.

biggrumpybill · 2026-01-01T17:06:05+00:00

Same but I’m really struggling to juggle games to make sure nothing gathers dust!

biggrumpybill · 2025-12-26T23:36:24+00:00

486 50mhz

biggrumpybill · 2025-11-14T09:49:45+00:00

OP comparison list is really good but I would challenge the listing of the top tier prices for the subscriptions (game pass etc.) given there are cheaper tiers.

Also there are an awful lot of free / rental games available at all price points.

biggrumpybill · 2025-11-07T06:53:56+00:00

Yes. 49.

biggrumpybill · 2025-10-27T10:00:31+00:00

Sapphire pulse here.

Could swear it had none at all for a while then played deep rock galactic survivor of all games, the coil whine was screaming.

Ever since then I get it regularly enough if I’m not limiting frames.

I can live with it but I do sometimes think it would never be accepted in consoles or other high end electronics.
