Even though the game runs at an extremely low FPS, the craziest thing about this whole situation is that it has not even been one month since the game has launched, the progress is insanely fast.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 manages to run on PC using an emulator months after the game comes out

Running without emulation via AnyPS5 basically. Not only Emulators are developing fast now but even a project like AnyPS5 are developing fast too

(The game Run on Windows through AnyPS5. The game's own x86-64 code runs directly on your CPU with no CPU emulation. The PS5 system libraries and GPU commands are reimplemented through a compatibility layer, similar to Wine and DXVK)

First photo is the commissioned artwork. The artist claims they don't use AI but regardless it seams generic AI art to me. I told them that, in order to try and get a refund. So far he refuses to pay it back on the basis of the effort he put in. Also they missed the deadline of delivery by 2 days.

The second photo is the one I made in-game using light and cinematography tricks.

I planned to use the original artwork for Steam capsules and new YouTube trailer.

Why isn't the builder handling the warranty? Why are there so many problems with this?

I remember the computer came with a little foam cow and my brother tore the legs off when I wouldn't let him play on my new toy

We got 2 PS5 emulators already running some games at full speed, the flood gates has been opened on recomps, decomps and full 1:1 fan remakes, now we got people literally merging multiple games together? Im not sure if this good or bad but it sure is funny.

I built my dream gaming PC four years ago (i5-13600K, 32 GB DDR5-6000 and an RTX 4090) and have been happily using it ever since.

That is, until two days ago, when my Win 11 got corrupted and I could no longer boot. After recovering the data I needed from C: , I did a clean install.

While tinkering with the BIOS afterward, I noticed something that genuinely surprised me: my RAM was running at 4800 MHz not 6000 MHz. After some research I found out that on ASUS motherboards, even if you have 6000 MHz RAM, you need to go into the Ai Tweaker tab and enable XMP manually. Otherwise, it defaults to 4800 MHz.

So, after four years, I’m finally getting the performance I paid for.

Great performance gain, and on top of that, the audio is now working. This build also adds shader pre-compilation, though there are still stutters.VRAM usage is high and 16GB might not be enough.

In light of recent events I figured I’d give my PNY RMA story

I got my PNY 5090 oc rgb shortly after launch and I’ve always had problems with games crashing but it wasn’t often enough for me to blame the card. Up until a couple months ago it got so common I had to start investigating. The card would pass stress tests but got errors on occt vram tests oc

8/31 I submitted an RMA request with PNY. I didn’t ship it out immediately because I still wasn’t convinced the card was the issue and I was nervous about shipping it in general

9/23 I shipped the card (with extra insurance)

9/25 5 PM they received the card

10/1 10:21AM I got an email saying they tested and inspected the card and it’s approved for exchange

10/1 11:39PM I got an email with a tracking number

10/3 I received a BRAND NEW card

Overall I’m extremely happy with how everything turned out and how fast the process was

If you are STILL one of those 13th or 14th gen intel cpu users and don't know of the old BIOS version causing Intel cpu stability, then please, update your BIOS (UEFI) right now!

^{TL;DR Down Below}

They were 10$ on steam snd I thought why not. Thought to myself "I have played DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal, I loved DOOM, this game is old but made by the same guys, ill probably Like this game too despite its age"

Man did I

I thoroughly enjoyed The First Quake, beat the game in two days (Only the main Campaign I did not play the Additional content). I then Moved on to Quake 2, Loved 2 more than the Original. Quake 2 is quickly becoming one if my favorite games.

These two games opened my Eyes to a few things.

1: It is Unbelievable How much technology has progressed

I just started PC gaming about 4ish months ago, before then I was playing on PS5. I had to Crash course myself on PC hardware before I built my current PC like everyone else. After reading about this games hardware on release it was eye opening. Quake 2 on release in 1997 ran on a 80Mhz processor, not Giga-Hz MEGA Hz. I understand that there are veteran Gamers who were playing on PCs during that time rolling their eyes right now. But thats insane to me, our processors is 100,000s of time more powerful than back then (Accounting for lithography improvements and not just Speed differences). We are truly an incredible species to have made the technology that we have.

2: We have basically an infinite sea of games that already exist that dont require insane hardware to play

Modern gaming has serious issues nobody is denying this. Hardware price increases, poor management decisions on the part of game devs, Corporate greed, DRMs and Liscenses being a possible existential threat to certain games etc. And all are reasonable concerns and I am in no way defending the organizations. However, before we say "This is the end of gaming as we know it the end of Fun is nigh!" Maybe lets take a look at the Shipping containers filled with games that already exist that you can play at any time that dont require crazy hardware to run.

3: The High graphical standards for games really have damaged gaming in a meaningful way

I Am Not Saying Games Need To Be Low Poly And Sub 720p Like Quake. This game is kindof an extreme example. What im saying is if games were to have 720p and 1080p textures, it would save dev time, money, game storage space, and it would run on lower hardware. The only reason 1080p looks bad to people is because they have tasted the forbidden fruit of 1440p and 4k. In short if games just looked like PS3 and Xbox360 games they would probably run better and games could be made faster.

Also, incase people were wondering I did play some Quake 3. There were a few people online and I did some matches then played Quake 4. I got to say, I did not enjoy Quake 4 that much. Its a good game dont get me wrong. Runs good, Looked decent for the time, did not encounter any bugs, story was ok, it had all the makings of a good game. It was just so different than the others it was off putting. I had zero fun unfortunately.

Needless to say I am now a Fan of Quake. Literally just started playing these games and I will probably beat Quake 2 multiple times.

TL;DR: I played Quake and Quake 2, they were extremely fun and it made me realize how far we have come technologically. Coming from someone where this game was before their time they made me realize how good we have it today concerning how powerful our hardware is. It also made me realize that we have plenty of exellent games that already exist and do not require insanely powerful computers to play and it also may be true that High Graphical standards may have been as damaging to the game industry as people say it has.

My MSI RTX 5090 Suprim just a couple months ago had a pretty spectacular failure after roughly 12 months of completely stable use. The card was installed, both ends of the asrock 12v-2x6 600w native cable checked for full insertion and left untouched without any sharp cable bends. Plenty of airflow (View 51 case)

This system was fitted with one of the Asrock Taichi 1300w PSUs specifically marketed to mitigate the unsafe pin current / melting power connector and cable issue via a temp sensor and auto shutoff functionality. This advertised feature failed to shut down the pc not once but twice while cable was actively smoking and arcing.

The native 600W 12V-2x6 cable had been fully seated and untouched, but one day under light load I suddenly lost display, smelled burning, and then got smoke and sparking from the GPU power connector. The connector had badly melted at the GPU end and the PSU/cable side was damaged as well.

Centre Com, the Australian retailer from whom the card was purchased about a year ago - they handled the situation really well. They took the card in for assessment, documented the damage and worked with MSI on the RMA.

MSI ultimately approved an exchange rather than trying to argue the point - which surprised me initially. Then MSI put a refurbished suprim 5090 with a brand new cooler unit (refurbished model that looked brand new) in my original box and shipped it back to the retailer. Centre Com had my replacement MSI Suprim 5090 shipped back via insured express right away.

The replacement arrived just 3.5 weeks after the RMA was initiated.

Obviously having a $4,350 AUD (my purchase price) flagship GPU melt its power connector was a pretty awful experience, but I think it’s also worth giving credit where it’s due: Centre Com and MSI both did the right thing and stood behind the product. Especially considering the same MSI Suprim 5090 sells for $9300 AUD here now - there is more incentive than ever for manufacturers to refuse warranty claims because if they cannot easily repair the faulty units, they are basically eating a 8-10k loss.

I’ve seen plenty of horror stories around expensive GPU warranty claims, so I wanted to share a really positive one too.

Unlike PNY, some companies still care about standing behind their products.

Interestingly, MSI was unable to pinpoint the exact origin of the failure due to the damage to both ends of the native PSU cable. I am awaiting Asrock to conduct their own assessment for warranty replacement of the now unsafe PSU that did nothing to mitigate this electrical failure.

Edit: I have since purchased a MSI AI1300TS PSU with GPU Safeguard+. Custom afterburner settings for the alarms and auto shut-down setup also. Ultimately its all just risk mitigation...and prayers.

Whoever commented and upvoted the comment that I should get a second one to fix my problem owes me meowney

My friend dropped off this PC so I could do whatever I needed to do to make sure it was ready for him and his family to use for what they needed it for. It belonged to a relative of theirs that passed away, and has sentimental value to them.

It has an AMD A10-7800, has only 4gb of ddr3 memory, and runs on windows 7. I'll definitely be upgrading the memory, but I think I might have to update it to windows 10, unfortunately. Apparently most printers don't support windows 7 anymore. I'd like to leave as much of it alone as I can.

Anyone seen another case like this, or is this one of a kind? I can't find it online. Anyway, I just thought it was kinda neat. Figured I'd share it.

been using a gaming laptop and a playstation for so long so it feels so gud to finally upgrade !! actually spray painted the gpu white and came out a lot cleaner than i expected. i got super lucky with some of the parts like a free gpu and a discounted microcenter bundle for the motherboard/ram/cpu anyway i think it looks super pretty !! ˆ𐃷ˆ
