  1. Then how did you guys know I liked extra cheese on my Pizza? Seriously though,respect for the little that's collected here.Site is quick and doesn't hog resources.
  2. from what I read they're just updating to latest release of the SAME OS. "For anyone who is keen to stick with Windows 10 rather than jumping to Windows 11, there's no need to panic. Microsoft is not going to force you onto the very latest version of Windows if you are happy to stick with an older version. " <-- From the article.

    It's HERE!

    That would be a nice idea,but I think there might be issues with warranties because of them saying it was cooling related? since it's non-factory cooling? (I've never water cooled anything except a 775 system with an aio so never had a warranty issue)

    lol, I'm doing MY share, a list of my graphics upgrades. GTX 750ti, a HD5770 that came pre-installed in a prebuilt dell was replaced with a GTX 970, and now an RTX 2070. I also have a GTX 950 that I put in the wifes comp to replace the 750ti she was using. Most everything else was purchased off ebay for used builds. (e.g. hd3450)
  5. the system is all air cooling,simple OC on cpu,same with gpu when I use it. (they're software based from the aorus and evga software lines) first gen rtx 2070(non super).Edit: Things like this are why I hate Nvidia at times, twice the shaders,same amount of ram,but an actual list price cheaper than I paid for my 2070... "EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC GAMING"
  6. https://twitter.com/jackievenson/status/1488643495904616453?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1488643495904616453|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2Fjackievenson2Fstatus2F1488643495904616453widget%3DTweet This kinda thing is another reason NFT's shouldn't be happening also.
  7. They must think gamers fall in the 37 of Milgram's testing figure..... or maybe my wife's an ubisoft NFT? After all,she's the 1 who who decides if I get it....
  8. since they're still giving us new community events just weeks before the new game releases, I'm gonna stay with my peeps at techland....
  9. Dang, missed where they listed the drives they lost....
  10. NVIDIA 790i SLI Data Corruption - Solved? WWW.ANANDTECH.COM Maybe just stick with a higher rpm(7200)hdd and take the loss in performance over the possible drive loss? Seems a mech drive may be more recoverable?
  11. Sony's view point on the matter.... Sony responds to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard WWW.TECHSPOT.COM In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, Sony said it expects Microsoft to ensure Activision games are multiplatform, as per contractual...
  12. lol, ran across this made up twitter conversation on a site I follow, might help the deep state mind set feel more at home....
  13. So, it's OK for Playstation to do it but when Microsoft follows THEIR lead you flip a gasket? "Insomniac games : With Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales being such huge hits, it's no wonder Sony scooped the studio up in 2019." "Current Projects: Insomniac is sticking with Marvel for its next couple of games. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the next title in the studio's Spidey saga, is currently in the works for PS5. Beyond that, a separate team is working on Marvel's Wolverine, also exclusively for PS5." Naughty Dog:Acquired in 2001. The Last of Us 1 & 2 , Uncharted... "Current Projects: Naughty Dog is hard at work on a standalone multiplayer game set in the Last of Us universe. It's widely accepted that this will build on The Last of Us: Part II's combat to bring a fleshed out Factions game to life." Bluepoint Games: "Famous for its work on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Shadow of the Colossus, and Demon's Souls, Sony scooped up this talented team in late 2021." Guerrilla Games : Creators of the Killzone franchise, and acquired by Sony following the release of Shellshock: ‘Nam 67 in 2005. "One of SIE's most technically capable studios, it's now best known for Horizon Zero Dawn, which runs on the studio's own Decima Engine.Guerrilla is developing Horizon Forbidden West for PS5 and PS4. It's also making Horizon Call of the Mountain in collaboration with Firesprite Games." So, when's the last time you were able to play these games on your xbox console unless it was using a browser to stream them from a service???? You're gonna jump Microsoft for going Playstations route??? And I'm NOT getting into the pc software issue since that's been talked to death for years.(Back when they FIRST talked about making it a subscription service) If you don't want to subscribe,find open source that covers your needs or admit they can do as they choose with their product. Edit: Oh, 1 more thing, when's the last time you played a ps2 or ps3 game on a ps4 or5? Microsoft has games galore for the xbox 360 that are now compatible on the xbox 1 AND xbox series X/S. At least microsoft supports it's players and their older games also. Gamers can log into PS Now, Sony’s gaming streaming service, and play many PS3 games as well as some of the best PS2 games. This streaming subscription allows gamers to play titles from yesteryear without having to drag out old consoles from the attic. <-- ONLY way to play former generation games on ps4.

  14. 3 and 1/2 hours later, windows is still installing the updates on the clean install of the fall 2021 release iso. lol, can't wait to see the test results for the atom 330 cpu, may even score lower than the p4.... Edit: Well, it surprised me,but still good low end results for a dual core with HT...
  15. lol, sitting here going through all my old hardware looking for something that's not dual core or HT and kicking myself in the ass for stripping my P4 1.5 GHz Willamette with the awesome RDRAM (I still have the ram if anyone needs it...) Ck'n a Compaq right now with 2c2t waiting on updates before I run the test. The things we do to get back to the top of the bottom.... Edit: Dang! was faster than I remembered! Here's the Compaq!
  16. Here's a sloppy(gigabyte software) O.C. to 4.1 ish of my Ryzen 2700x minus Firefox, taskmanager shows crap running in background during test from the game apps. Edit: Just an FYI, the P4 is stock settings on the Dell.... No underclocking on that baby!
  17. lol, gotta WORK on that single core if ya wanna get to the top of this list....
  18. All right gentlemen,I guess I have to fire up the dell dimension 3100 running win10 with the P4 and 3Gb of ram for the slowest test result.... Heres the results, looks like it's gonna take an athlon Xp or a Duron to knock me outta last place! lol, Microsoft wants me to ck to see if I can run Windows 11!
  19. Update:After purchasing new larger drive for christmas present, I used Acronis true image to transfer the data from the old smaller drive to the new drive in the original faster slot. After transfering,I removed the old drive completely,switched the bios BACK to booting from the faster slot(it showed the new drive no issue) and booted with no problems and have been running for a couple of weeks now. NOW I have to see about updating the bios again.Guess maybe I'll go slower with that this time.
  20. Glad I'm not the only one who finds a use for the hdmi switches. using 2 of them on the bedroom tv so the wife can have her xbox s,Series S ,PS4,computer,PS3,and FireStick in there. tv has 3 hdmi inputs so the Firestick,PS4,and PS3 are on 1, xbox & comp are on another with other xbox on third so she can swith easier with the tv remote. Powering on devices does most of her device switching as needed on the switches.
  21. It's specs are beating alot of the posted write times of similar popular drives.WD Black and Samsung 980 Pro for example. Over a 1000MB/s faster write time supposedly.Have to wait and see what real life actually shows us.
  22. lol, I liked the list of items on the back. LIMITED | Disappointment PC T-Shirt 2021 | 100% Cotton, Black — GamersNexus Official Store STORE.GAMERSNEXUS.NET The LIMITED 2021 Disappointment PC T-Shirt is styled like a band tour shirt, making for a great commemorative item of a year of critical...
  23. It's not free, but has to do with a game franchise and the loss of a record holding coach....
