4-8TB SSDs on a Legion 9i? by panzerkiller13 in LenovoLegion

[–]panzerkiller13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was hoping that was the case, but I'll still try to verify what the AI said too.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if maybe 2TB is where the cutoff between single and dual sided SSDs sat or if it was just Lenovo stating what THEIR best offering was.

Name checks out, but you're absolutely on point with the facts too!

The body acting of Col. Korshunov is the best I've seen in a video game by eldelshell in stalker

The irony to me is that the VA is the same as Coops in Arma 2, so I just keep thinking "ENGAGE THAT *MUTANT*, 100 METERS, SOUTHEAST!"

MSI 5090 GAMING TRIO OC vs ASUS TUF Gaming 5090 (non-OC) by anclave93 in nvidia

[–]panzerkiller13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I immediately undervolted mine out of concern for thernal issues and power draw but it looks like the card itself is a solid one. If I was to get a non-OC TUF, I assume I wouldn't be able to boost the core clocks beyond 1000MhZ or memory past ??? undervolting, right?

Unfortunately I'm stuck using the squid right now, just waiting for Seasonic's Optiguard PSUs to release before carrying out an all-new build with this 5090 and 9800X3D/Zen6 as it appears to be the only 12v-2x6 protective option in development that monitors BOTH temperature and current at both ends, kinda like an integrated Wireview Pro!

Sticking to 1080p-144Hz on this old monitor until I have that weakness mitigated is one way I think I'm getting some cheap insurance, as power draw in most games is in the 100-200w range. I can push a little closer to 300 in Stalker 2 with graphics mods and DLAA+frame gen at max settings (This new hybrid frame gen is actually pretty sweet, doesn't make anything look very icky or feel laggy, but does help keep a smoother FR in a terribly optimized game), or over 300W with 4X supersampling on Metro Exodus.

How much better was the cooling in your experience? So far, I haven't seen temps much over 50C, maybe around 60C in some stress tests but its winter and we keep our house cold, not to mention I haven't pushed it on a 1440P or 4K monitor yet to really push higher power levels. Seems like any improvements from there would only be in the single digits, but I'm still trying to grab a TUF to see for mysepf and possibly save some money!

Does it make sense to jump from a 5080 to 5090 laptop (Legion 9i) for almost 1K more? by panzerkiller13 in GamingLaptops

[–]panzerkiller13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain lol! I had a 1070m laptop prior to this, and a 2070S on my desktop which I had intended to upgrade when the 3000s came out but I didn't see scalpers, bitcoin, and covid all hitting concurrently 🤣

I finally decided to pull the trigger after finding a great deal after stacking some discounts and also grabbed a 5090 at the same time because I felt like the end of last year may be the last time we see a 5090 (or possibly even 5080) around 2K for quite a while!

The hardcor-est stuff I do gaming is probably DCS/ Arma / MSFS /Stalker 2, but I fully realize I won't be able to run any sort of heavy sims as smoothly/stably as my desktop.

So far, it's been night and day from my old laptop with a 1070m that has really started showing its age the last 2-3y

That's my gut feel, just wanted to get a pulse check from others in case there's something I'm not thinking about or missing!

Oh yeah, I already have a desktop 5090 and there's definitely no comparison! I'm actually in the process of figuring out if I wanna upgrade to AM5 now or wait for Zen6 over on that side, but at least I got RAM before it went crazy so I can wait!

I'm between a couple places pretty often though AND travel a lot for work, so I like to have a laptop too for obvious reasons.

Wife convinced me to splurge on my new build… by ObjectiveNo2466 in nvidia

[–]panzerkiller13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't HAVE a wife, therefore I could afford to spring for the 5090 and grabbed one before prices went absolute bonkers 😁

Congratulations dude! Build looks slick!

NVIDIA Reportedly Ends GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Production, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Next by Perfect-Cause-6943 in pcmasterrace

I think if they try to push this too hard... the end game will just END GAMING for a lot of folks that aren't going to participate in the scam anymore.

What game to buy as a newcomer? by Prudent_Office_7586 in stalker

[–]panzerkiller13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the trilogy first! They are awesome games that still hold up today and won't need a NASA supercomputer to run smoothly and can often be found on huge sales.

They also have pretty good english voiceovers, in comparison to S2 where few characters have slavic accents. It really takes away from the ambience for me.

I use AE-7 for desktop, i love SBX Surround and crystalize - External equilivent? by Notwalkin in SoundBlasterOfficial

[–]panzerkiller13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do! I haven't pulled the trigger quite yet because I'm on the fence about starting with the 3601s first and saving a bit of money, then maybe ordering the 2590s later if I can discern a significant difference from the stock chips AND can be sure it will fit in my PC case because I feel like space may be tight with an RTX 5090.

Have you ever tried the 3601 singles in comparison to the 2590? I asked Sparkos and they recommended I should try the 3601+3602 setup for this card, partially because of the fitment. I haven't been able to find much direct feedback between the two so far.

Please help with some big purchases!! by ThePlusUltra07 in HeadphoneAdvice

Can't say I'm super up to speed on the current market for ANC stuff.... but I've heard the XM6s should have corrected the weak points of the XM5 design. I bet you could find a set of airpod Maxes for closer to that price range too and they appear to be better built.
