lol,I really need to concentrate on 1 game and finish it. I'm playing first Metro,Days Gone,Dying Light 1, Destiny 2(it just keeps on),Horizon Zero Dawn,Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor,and the 3 Tomb Raider reboots. Oh,not to mention I have to replay Witcher 3 and do the final pack they gave us there. I installed RDR2 but haven't really gave it a try yet. Maybe less time reading more time playing? I know I have to force myself to play shadow of Mordor because I read all the Tolkien books before the games were ever an idea and watching Shelob as a cocktail waitress is just annoying. If God of War picks up the pace,that'll be added to the play choices...

yeah, it's where the new reboots don't quite have the same feel. I want my Lara looking like Bianca's Cosplay not a 10th grader....

ROTFL, My first thought when I saw this post was when I told my wife I had over 300 hours in Witcher 3 she asked me "How many of those were spent in the whore houses?" And I actually stopped to think about my answer...

Well,with settings on high(not ultra)and the fan curve up a little plus dlss set on balanced game play is smooth with no stutters or tears. shot's at idle ish...

Well, I came home yesterday and the wife told me to click accept on my computer. She bought me THIS for my Birthday next week.... So,looks like I'll be starting another game soon.

I know everyone tends to hate on Epic, but ya gotta love the freebies.... offer expires 6/2/2022

Does this mean Intel's gonna be P'ing their cores???

I still get decent 4k game play on my Ryzen 7 2700x and my RTX 2070 (Non Super) Most game play is on at least High for my settings with some ultra. Strange as it sounds, the only ones I had to tune down to medium-high settings were some of the Metro's and Witcher 3 (only because of the distance shots in Witcher)The Benches were all done at highest settings where possible.Display is a 27" 4k 60Hz BENQ HDR optional with a button.(I tend to leave HDR off because I'm only 2.5 feet away from the monitor so it's a bit overwhelming... )Added a txt file with 1 more benchmark result on it. Oxide's Starswarm benchmark for CPU's. Output_22_05_25_0836.txt

I like it, nice game play,story line so far and no having to deal with others or grind like Destiny 2 has been. Epic has it on sale 50% off ($24.99) and CDKeys has it even cheaper -67% ($16.39) so it's not a bad price right now if you want to try it. This is the First one, NOT the new release game called Forbidden West.

Horizon Zero Dawn on PC is getting most of my current game play....

older stones,promo vids are my favs for vids

Just an FYI, evga has 3080Ti's and 3090's in their B stock section as low as $1049.99 for the 3080Ti's and $1199.99 for a 3090 FTW3 Ultra gaming. Other models at higher prices also.

lol, you can still get a gt210 on evga's site...

Don't know,but this may help if you decide to try doing it again... New update 5-12-2022

lol,I might have been turned off from it because dell offered the 5750 stock,or upgraded to the 5770 for a hundred more or one of the nvidia cards for close to 300 more. This was in 2012.

I can respect a choice to not interrupt a smooth work flow to create eye candy for the masses...

I would have to argue about the "by themselves they were great" part. My second new comp purchase was my Dell XPS 8300 with the i7 2600,8Gb ram,1.5Tb hdd,and I upgraded to include the 5770. What a mistake. I got better results in the old 3d mark test of the time with a nvidia gt730 than I did with the hd5770. It's why I bought my GTX970 instead of going with a higher version of an amd card at the time. The 5770 did video's great,but games sucked.

was the folder or drive deleted? If so, you may have to re-install from the library page on steam for it to show on your comp. It looks like it's only showing the address of the steam library link right now.(I think) I don't install mine with the icons but if you look at the screen shot,you'll see where steam library is all on drive E, open that and it shows steam apps, open that it shows each game in it's own folder. I have my downloads set to that steam library folder on that drive in my Steam settings. Try opening the Steam Library and seeing if they show as needing to be installed or that they can open.

(gasp) you sent it back? after they took the time to open the caps to make sure they were real before shipping it to you? have you no shame? ROTFL

I don't see it as that big a problem, if it IS browser related,you guys could get it fixed just to have a later browser update break the fix.

With that cooling, she's gonna be a beast!

That's a joke,Right? I mean I literally pay the cable company's fee's to the Govt's EVERY MONTH. They are allowed to pass those on to the consumer. They are ALSO allowed to pass on a "line usage fee" to the consumer for the rental of the poles to string the cable line. 911 Fee 0.75 Federal Cost Recovery Fee 0.02 Network Enhancement Fee 3.50 Federal Universal Service Fee 0.44 State Universal Service Fund 1.14 Cable companies use hidden fees to raise prices 24% a month ARSTECHNICA.COM Analysis of cable bills finds loads of fees not mentioned in advertised price.

not to mention the number of parents who allow their phones to babysit the children.... "Honey,did you reset my password?" "No dear,Why?" "(sigh) Damn kids again...."

It isn't so much about controlling how you watch it as controlling what's produced to watch or read. As for "you can just stream it" let's see, Disney owns at least 30% of HULU, NBCUniversal through Fandago purchased VUDU,along with having Peacock, ViacomCBS own PlutoTv, Amazon of course owns Amazon media(licensed & original movies,tv). Remember that NBCUniversal is owned by Comcast. Poor Netflx is like "Why people want to jump me for a rate hike?" "On February 25, 2020, Comcast announced it would purchase Xumo from the Panasonic/Viant joint venture for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition of the service—which will continue to operate as an independent business, albeit within Comcast's cable television division—stems mainly from Xumo's partnerships with smart TV manufacturers (including LG, Panasonic, and Vizio), which would allow Comcast to use Xumo's placement to market or showcase Xfinity and other Comcast services as well as use its technology to develop additional streaming platforms. The company plans to add content from the NBCUniversal programming library and the company's various television networks as well as use it to upsell its free/subscription hybrid service Peacock, akin to ViacomCBS's utilization of Pluto TV to offer content from its cable networks following the former Viacom's purchase of the rival streamer in the Spring of 2019." They control what we can see......

perfect example when I was still subscribing to cable tv, suddenlink and viacom had an issue over viacom wanting to raise their rates and I lost a half dozen channels for over 9 months. NOW these are some of the 1's they control....
