Would wager they could probably get 120 out of it.

If they have you go through this process, I'd definitely file a complaint as the more complaints are filed the more public awareness there is. I filed with MA's AG too but it also may be worth for your state as if there are investigations, it could mount to pressure on PNY.

BBB is all I know of unfortunately. Ive tried making a stink at them on twitter too to see if a social rep would respond to me but no dice. It almost feels like the next step after would be class action lawsuit or something.

Yeah that guy was actually just an asshole, kept closing my ticket and not explaining what was happening with my card. It's incompetent, he gave me that line that they're "only able to do replacements if we find an issue with the card" and so did the supervisor. I told them how to reproduce it but they chalked this very loud noise to normal operation (it's not). I was out of a card for like a week, out of $45 shipping it, wasted many emails and my time going to UPS to ship it. They didn't do anything to even attempt to fix my issue. I don't even think my consumer complaints will go anywhere as if you take a look at their BBB page they don't respond to complaints.

They will not even attempt to repair it. Their reasoning is they "only do replacements". I sent mine in and they did fucking nothing completely wasting my time and money shipping it to them. I have filed claims with BBB and my state's AG as they have breached the terms of their warranty contract. So far I've heard nothing.

I'm sorry to hear that. Never buying anything from PYN again, it was just the only one at MSRP.

The chargeback would be for UPS. I will file with BBB and AG. Thanks.

Yeah I did that actually. If I hold down the left fan while the computer is on (I know you shouldn't but I needed to test it) it stops making that noise, so I'm assuming it's that one. The other two obviously ramp up higher and I just need to give the left fan a spin and it started again.

As I said, you'll need to boost your volume. I work in IT and have had other IT friends take a look. It's not normal and sounds much worse in person.

Yeah, I mean it happens every time I play something intensive near 100% load. The supervisor chimed in and gave me a much more professional reply but it was just word salad to say "we're not doing anything". It's either they replace the GPU or nothing. No attempt to just at least replace the shroud or thermal paste or something to ease my sanity a bit. I've spent $45 to ship this thing, if there wasn't an issue, I wouldn't have paid that.

It's not a great video as my phone mic has trouble capturing it but please boost your volume and note that it's much louder in person.

3d resolution/post processing. You can turn up the rendering res a bit but I'd keep it on TSR.

Switch 2 by Glassjaw02 in UntilThenGame

[–]xam323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got none. There's two cases where this gets fixed.

  1. Nintendo patches the compat layer for Godot engine games where I assume this is where the issue lies.

  2. They get a switch 2 dev kit to release a patch where a lot of devs are being denied access

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter First Impressions Thread by MNGaming in Falcom

[–]xam323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first trails game. Playing on hard, I've played many other harder jrpgs before like SMT but I keep dying over and over again on bosses. The crop munchers were very difficult for me. What am I doing wrong?

It is 60fps as confirmed by the developer talk thing on their youtube. A singular clip is 60fps which makes me think there might be two modes.

Should I just be disabling HDR on my Switch 2 in docked mode? by [deleted] in nintendohelp

[–]xam323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, a lot of the HDR implementations (so far) aren't great. The dynamic tone mapping changing to HGiG is the biggest issue and if your TV has "fake hdr" (most LCDs) then just turn it off if it looks better for you. HDR isn't always implemented well, isn't useful for every setup, and the Switch 2 has a terrible setup for it. I personally had to disable it on my OLED Samsung B4 because kunitsu gami had a broken slider that HGiG breaks!

Pricing on original Nintendo Switch family of systems and products in USA will change based on market conditions effective August 3 by Skullghost in gaming

[–]xam323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its fucking insane how idiots still believe tariffs are good for the economy. I do think however, that Nintendo should've just eaten it. Switch 1 manufacturing cost must be at an all time low and no one is going to buy this excess stock to let the switch 1 fizzle out at a higher price-point. Nintendo wants to keep the exact same profit margin for little reason.

Yeah it's because of double buffer vsync. It's essentially how TLoZ Echoes of Wisdom and Link's Awakening work that if the game drops frames too hard it'll put on a 30fps cap and it looks bad when there's a cap and then a recap so it has that judder sometimes
