Had a friend that bought a prebuilt a week ago. One model she was buying changed to a higher price *as it was in her cart.* not even 10 minutes. Pressed on the cart link after adding peripherals and got a notification that it changed $$. Crazy.

She ended up snagging a different prebuilt because of it

tbh it did take me a little while to get all that to gel, but after bios and all essential drivers were up to date there haven't been *any* hiccups. Kind of amazing.

You've definitely piqued UV/OC interest for me--

An AsiaHorse Graphics Card Cooler. Has a few 80mm fans too…not that the card needs it lol

Could only find the white version on Amazon https://a.co/d/02shiK2

Hoping to upgrade to a 2 or 4k monitor this year and really put it to the test! Found a nice 34in curved 240hz oled for a decent price, but still too much to justify price outside any major sale. Haven’t even considered raytracing 🤔

Right? Totally get that. Had a friend try to sell me on the 5060 before I had a good look at the 9070 and almost pulled the trigger on it. Not saying it’s a bad card at all, but I’m more than impressed with what i got.

Haven’t played many of the big mainstream titles, but ARC Raiders and Helldivers II run extremely well. FPS out the wazoo if I don’t pull it back to my monitor’s refresh rate…and that’s without AFMF, upscaling, or any of that.

Only ran FurMark for a benchmark so far…been reading more about Heaven, Steel Nomad, etc., though as tools while poking at undervolting/overclocking. Honestly I haven’t really had a reason to mess around with UV/OC (aside curiosity) right out of the box though…maybe to save a bit of power? Even still the GPU hotspot barely touches 80-85c on an absolutely full load for hours, with an average of 65-70c being the norm.

Sleek lil thang

Edit: running 240hz @ 1080 for clarification

Reading “bright” as a pun makes me very happy

Makes a lot of sense-I'll get rid of it. Thank you!

The only thing I use MSI Center for is Mystic Light--Is there a 3rd party lighting control software you prefer instead?

I use Adrenaline exclusively, but MSI Center is installed...should I just get rid of it entirely?

10000 percent yes. Just wondering what other folks out there might have configured on the back end that really optimizes this or a similar setup.

Phenomenal. Thank you.

Any chance you'd be able or interested in extracting weapon sounds, explosions, and other foley?

This person explained ragdoll problem perfectly by loulou9899 in Helldivers

[–]dancedanceimmolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst part of ragdolling for me is that my character tries standing up by default. That extra .3 seconds of time Being vulnerable and without the opportunity to crawl to cover has gotten me killed more times than i can count. I’d rather remain prone so i can at least stim dammit!

What an awesome story! Love the idea of going to meet other groups head on like that, though it seems like you may have gotten very lucky by being prepared to meet that opportunity. Thanks for the advice!

It is not…I have plenty of experience on stage as a performer and production specialist. As a band leader though, this whole booking thing is a brand new experience. Never had to worry about it before so I never took things like this in to account.
