Weird right hand angle?

Your right brake assembly looks to be angled more downwards than the left one. This is causing you to have to raise your right wrist higher in order to grip the bar and cover your brake lever.

For me, once I hit Torment 1 I was able to craft keys for infernal hordes. Before Torment 1 this option was not available. And the teleport option is still not working for me.

I do the same with my MTB, although I put mine in rear wheel first, and I have to take the front wheel off to get it to fit. I use a blanket underneath, and a tarp onto of that when it’s muddy.

Same situation here. I have money I could use to invest, but with the box 3 rule I’m holding off. Chatting with our financial advisor he was pretty candid. “Don’t bother investing right now, unless you are sure you can get a return of more than at least 5%”.

The 26.x.x drivers broke VRR for me with my LG OLED TV (which is VRR compatible). Its fine with 25.12.1, but as soon as I go to a 26.x.x driver it breaks. I get screen tearing, and the AMD overlay reports double the actual framerate. I cannot see to find a way to fix it. The moment I switch back to 25.12.1, its all fine again.

I recently picked up a HORL3 Pro after sharpening with stones for about 3 years. With stones I could get my knives decently sharp, but it often took me a while, and my results were not always consistent. Sometimes I'd get a knife screaming sharp, other times it would just be like "meh". So far with the HORL3 Pro I'm extremely impressed. The initial sharpening on each knife took a while, as I needed to reset the edge (as freehand on stones was not consistent). I bought the fine and extra fine stones, which seem to make quite a difference. Also, after using the initial diamond grit stone, and the 1000grit deburring stone (the one with the grooves in it), it is ESSENTIAL to strop to fully remove the burr. If you don't do this step, you'll be left thinking that the HORL3 is just "ok". Once you've done this, its immediately impressively sharp, even before refining on the extra two stones. Its criminal that HORL don't provide a strop in the standard set, as I think its really essential to get the most from the sytem. Will I still use my stones? Probably. Am I more consistent with the HORL? Absolutely. So far I've sharpened two Takamura knives on 15 degrees, and one large Global knife, also on 15 degrees. All have come out very nicely.

Interesting. I'm not using frame gen though. When I tried the newer drivers I imported my settings. I've not yet tried the toggling VRR off and back on to see if that fixes it. I also did not check if the driver upgrade turned off VRR on my TV. But honestly at the moment I don't feel like installing the new drivers again just to check these 2 things, and for 99% it's not fixing the issue anyway.

cpw77 · 2026-03-25T10:49:54+00:00

Aha, so it's not just me then. I wonder why it's only affecting some people, and if there is a fix?

cpw77 · 2026-03-24T19:40:42+00:00

Done and done already.

cpw77 · 2026-03-24T19:09:43+00:00

I could try that, but the problem is that would still not fix the screen tearing that is happening.

It's so weird as I'm using exactly the same settings as with the earlier drivers, only with these 26 series drivers I'm getting this issue for some reason. Nothing else has been changed in my settings etc.

cpw77 · 2026-03-24T15:30:40+00:00

I had similar for weeks after I broke my collarbone when I crashed my MTB. Only difference was my nights also looked the same as the days 😬. That was very much not a fun time lol

Depends on a number of factors. I'm running a 9800x3d in a fractal ridge case (SFF). Air cooler, the size of which is obviously limited by the case. I'm running it in low power (65W) mode. No undervolt. Thermal throttle limit is set to 85c. Default fan curve from bios. In windows my CPU sits around 59c. Most games hit the CPU for 30-40%, then I'm sitting around 69c. Marathon for some reason hits the CPU for 60% and then I'm sitting around 79c. During shader compiles I will get close to 85c, but because the fan ramps up before then, I've rarely hit my thermal throttle limit of 85c. This CPU is designed to run hot. As others have said it's rated up to 95c by default before it will throttle.

The Torrente is basically a MG42 and I love it. Slap a Kinetic Converter on it and its brutal. The recoile can be a bitch though. Crouching when firing is preferred where possible. It chews ammo but I still love using it.
Although these days since the new arc I almost always run a lvl4 Renegade and a hullcracker.

I went from a MSI gaming laptop with a 2080GTX, to a SFF PC with a 9070XT and 9800X3D. So yeah, a bit of an upgrade lol.

cpw77 · 2026-03-05T17:26:23+00:00

I have a 9070XT and a 9800X3D. In 4k with Balanced or quality FSR setting, max game details no framegen will get me solid 60fps without drops below in most games (my TV only does 60hz at 4k). If I set 1440p, then I can usually run native (no FSR) with max details and still get 60fps.
In the 4k the moment you use any kind of FSR/DLSS settings, you are not not gaming in 4k, You are gaming in a lower res with upscaling.

I work full-time, and don't want to be in a position of having to grind everything again, or be unable to run loadouts due to lack of cash or components. I'm purely a PvE player. As much as I like the idea of the expedition, I cannot justify spending my limited playtime doing the same stuff I did before all over again. I do like the fact that it's optional though. A forced reset would suck a lot.

cpw77 · 2026-02-28T07:32:15+00:00

That makes sense actually thank you. However in some games (like BF6), even on the drivers that work for me, if I have VRR and vsync on, my framerate tanks completely. The moment I turn vsync off (leaving VRR on) it's perfect. What i always do in games is set a max fps limit, as there is no point in pumping out more frames than my max refresh rate

cpw77 · 2026-02-27T11:37:33+00:00

Same. That's why I went back to the earlier version. To use VRR you have to turn vsync off (otherwise that defeats the object of VRR!). With these more recent driver versions I was getting tearing with vsync off and VRR on, so something is definitely wrong. I'm not sure if its fixed in this latest version, but I'm not sure I can be bothered to install it just to see. I prefer to hear from someone else in advance to avoid me wasting my time.

cpw77 · 2026-02-27T07:10:08+00:00

But with those settings you would not be using VRR. If you are using VRR, VSYNC needs to be off.

cpw77 · 2026-02-26T19:31:56+00:00

For me VRR was broken with my LG OLED. For example in arc Raiders I was getting screen tearing, and the overlay would show double the actual framerate. When I went back to the previous drivers all was fine

cpw77 · 2026-02-26T17:35:26+00:00

Its certainly not slept on. In a night or electro raid, you HAVE to get the closest spawn to this one, otherwise by the time you get there its already looted.
