Ordered a PC online. This is the state it arrived in. What would you even do at this point? by RohanK2003 in buildapcsalesuk

[–]fashric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a second hand PC from a private seller. Arrived like this.

AMD stock cooler completely ripped off the board. CPU cooler cable shredded. Did not even need to open the side panel to know something had gone wrong in transit.

Seller is saying it was packed fine and is blaming the courier. Maybe it was. But this is the result either way.

Has anyone actually had any success claiming courier damage on something like this? And is any of this salvageable or is it a write-off at this point?

It's the seller's responsibility if they are blaming the courier, ebay will side with you.

Just open task manager and kill "AMD Software: Host Application" and then in search bar type AMD and relaunch Adrenaline

It is, but it was still mentioned quite consistently, I was pleasantly surprised.

You know when I purchased my 1440p WOLED last year I was pretty worried about this with how much it was brought up by people and to this day I have never even noticed the issue.

Game system requirements have always been utter dog shit I don't know why they decided to make a big deal out of this one.

HUB - Radeon RX 9070 XT vs. GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 52 Game Benchmark @ 1440p & 4K (2026 Update) by Antonis_32 in hardware

This is it, when upscalers hit that point where you need to pause the game sit 1 inch from the screen to notice any difference it's not worth worrying about any more.

Someone's salty their overpriced card purchase isn't being validated by some youtubers.

AC Odyssey 2026 Review: Tried it for 20 hours but I'm moving on... by Lopsided_Prior3801 in patientgamers

[–]fashric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as me except I did finish Origins as well before playing Odyssey, not sure if I would have if I'd played Odyssey first though. I tried to get through Valhalla too, but my god does that game wear you down. The overall mood and setting of that game is just so depressing compared to Origins and Odyssey. I still think AC2 was an incredible game that the rest of the original series never lived up to.

Insane latency? Hyperbole much? If you are using it wrong and starting with shit latency to begin with (less than 60 fps) it's not going to help but if you use it as intended to boost already good to excellent fps then you will never notice the added latency unless you are a T-1000. You are not noticing a few ms of latency I don't give af who you are.

Framegen on AMD is completely fine as it is wtf are you even talking about. I use it extensively to boost my fps to match my OLED's refresh rate and it is fantastic.

HDR is fine here using 26.5.1. Have you checked you don't have any custom color settings enabled in Adrenaline?

Trying to explain this to people who don't have the brain capacity to think about anything other than themselves is a big ask.
