    NVIDIA GeForce NOW Gets Honkai: Star Rail and Four New Titles This Week

    Well I'm not a fanboy but I've tried both. For me the deciding factor would be the different combat system so I would pick Genshin if I wanted to put some more serious time into one of them. While I don't hate turn based combat its not a fan of mine either so if I have the option to choose then...

    Does anyone here overclock their video cards? Is it really worth it?

    Nope, it usually trades blows with a 3060 Ti stock vs stock depending on the game and res in raster at least. 'I've also almost got a 6700 XT so I've watched a lot of benches between the 2 cards..' In some Vram heavy/not too well optimzed games the 6700 XT is faster tho.

    Epic Games launcher's ridiculous CPU usage

    Dunno, it was never an issue for me and I've used EPIC with a 12100F for 2+ years. This is how it looks like with my 12600KF now while DLing at my max speed to an NVMe drive: Still hardly affects anything really, I can still do whatever else on my PC while its dling/installing in the...

    Your way of cooling your PC?

    Air only since my level of hardware is easy to cool with air anyway. 'No OC and I undervolt both of my CPU and GPU' That being said I did consider an AIO not because I need it but because I much prefer them aesthetically vs air tower coolers but thats something I'm yet to justify spending on.:laugh:

    POLL: Can you see the difference past 60fps (gaming/other)

    Uncertain for me since even if you held a gun at my head I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 60-75Hz even on the same monitor. Upgraded from an older 60Hz to my current 75Hz in 2019 and I couldn't notice and once I've had my current monitor default back to 60Hz for whatever reason...

    Does anyone here overclock their video cards? Is it really worth it?

    I'm also only undervolting tho I've never been into OC-ing in general. 'tried a few times but it wasn't worth it imo/with my use case'

    Only some humans can see refresh rates faster than others, I am one of those humans.

    I have no issues playing on a 60/75Hz monitor all day long if I wanted to and I do get immersed in my singleplayer games like Forbidden West currently. Never experienced motion sickness or any discomfort playing various type of games. 'yes even FPS' I don't play competitive games anymore and...

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    Well thats gonna be a long wait for me until the 5060/Ti comes out and then wait for prices to drop a bit or pick up a second hand 4070 Super or something similar in 2025.:oops: 'not interested in anything higher up, way too expensive for me'

    Yeah a good few years ago when I was at my local doctor for a generic checkup she accidentally pushed a pencil off her table while I was sitting next to it and I've grabbed it mid air and shes like, well at least your reflexes are good. 'I was quite out of shape/unhealthy at the time tho:oops:'...

    Yeah I miss having Freesync, used that with my old RX 570 and it was great, if there is one thing I'm sensitive to is screen tearing and the likes. I rather have a lower but stable frames with no tearing. No idea about that since the last time I've used CRT was in my high school years and at...

    Only some humans can see refresh rates faster than others, I am one of those humans.

    I can't see the diff between 60 and 75 Hz, when I've upgraded to my current 75Hz ultrawide from my 60Hz standard FHD monitor I thought that it will be different but nope I did not notice the difference in any game. So even if I could notice the 144 or higher its like whatever to me, I can game...

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    Not as crazy as some ppl being so much against new tech/progress on a TECH forum only because they dislike it for whatever reason. Progress doesn't necessarily have to happen on a need to ask basis, if that was the case then we would be still using some basic tech playing old ass games cause...

    Just for lolz, Post your 3DMark2001SE Benchmark scores!

    Everything at stock with some undervolts. 'what I have under my specs' During this bench I can see core1/2/3 boosting up to 4882 MHz since its single threaded/stays at low temps so that helps in a way I guess.

    The Official Thermal Interface Material thread

    Yep, my bro bought the first/original batch of GD900 from Ali before it became more known and we used that on various hardware with no issues. Actually the performance/texture of the paste was in the same ballpark of the MX 4 we used before for years, I've had 2 GPUs repasted with that GD900...

    Arctic MX-6 shelf life is just a couple months?

    I've bought a 4g tube last year, 2023 07 05 to be exact. 'looking at my order email' Used it a few days ago when I've got my 12600KF and its still all good like when it was new. I store it in the original packaging/in my room which does get quite hot during the summer. '30 celsius is not rare...
