I honestly don’t think any of this matters anymore. SSD in general is just good for gaming

I haven’t even ‘upgraded’ from Sata SSD to nvme because…why bother. computer already boots within 5 seconds, it doesn’t need to boot in 1. all games perform flawless. this is just mix/maxing at this point and honestly nobody would notice a gaming difference between 550mb/sec vs 3000mb/sec

imo you shouldn’t give them money until they stop treating you like garbage. 3 new games where they don’t treat you like crap should be the minimum to even consider them a potential gaming company.

I refuse to even humor those companies anymore. overpriced garbage. Indi devs all day. I have more fun, I actually finish games and I acquire more because they cost so much less

then don’t say shit if you aren’t able to promise it…stupid cfo

they should be on a cycle, not all companies are. it’s very common to see a lot of smaller ones not do this

all those laptops are probably also pre 8th gen processors.

companies dumped them all because Microsoft promotes ewaste be forcing windows11 horse shit which requires Intel 8th gen +

PROPER decommissioning for devices is to remove the drives.

you’re getting Microsoft’s forced ewaste

never wait for blacco Friday or any big advertised sale. guaranteed you will pay more, then just a 'we need to move product’s sale

yup. I refuse to buy games 95% off in the $5 bin. I instantly assume the game is made by some garbage trash company that doesn’t care. I’d rather pay $30 knowing the developer isn’t shit

Umm, yes? Why would I buy new everything just because the graphics is the bottleneck. I’ve gone from 1060, to 1080ti sc, to 5070 ti. Unless I misunderstand what you mean by ‘the same computer’

I was looking at ddu the other day and was going to remove the drivers then reinstall fresh. Didn’t even know it existed. My issues most likely stem from going from GTX to RTX.

I have very low hopes that it will resolve the green HDR tint tho…that seems more like windows being garbage then anything.

I probably will, but I wanna tinker first. I am not just complaining for the sake of it, I’d rather fix the problems incase it’s a weird config I have going. Worst case I’ll just buy amd and throw this Nvidia into my server PC and tinker with local LLMs. This isn’t a cash issue, just a hardware/config frustration.

No I’m really not. The HDR being on is absolutely horrid and the blacks are all green. Disabling HDR reduces it, but it’s still visible with a green tint. 100% an issue surrounding HDR though and only affects the blacks on my monitor.

The crashes I narrowed down to DX12. Running everything I’m dx11, zero issues and crashes go away instantly. Tbh it might be a conflict with the 10 series drivers and I didn’t run any removal tools. I will be doing this shortly and starting drivers from scratch as a test. Nothing overclocked.

And their current cards are SHIT. I went from. 10 series to 50…I wanna go back.

Nothing but hard crashes on desktop, in games. Everything’s got this shit green tint. Absolute shit company and shit cards. I regret

I forgot this company existed when they got rid of ‘pay what you want for the actually good games’

Your last sentence literally sums the entire topic. Games are for fun, and everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless of how good or bad it may be, but at the end nobody is inherently wrong in their viewpoint because it’s all subjective.

Eg; I think every game made by EA is literal trash and not worth even trying to see if it’s good. I won’t even pirate their games that how strongly I feel about their quality, however you may like the their games and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s all subjective and upto someone personal opinion. Nobody should however tell someone they can’t call something trash just because they didn’t play it past the refund window.

I know what I detest in games and form my opinions based on previous experiences u til proven otherwise. Using this and touching on ea…burn me 3 times and I don’t care that you exist anymore.

They should make a new main character, like it’s his grandkid as a young adult and your job is to still help Larry the geriatric get laid.

I’d be curious what games actually utilize multithreading

All games I wouldn’t play anyways because corporate greed.

It most likely means cheap copy/paste and reskin to make it look like Indiana instead of actually creating a new game. Most likely going to be low effort, overpriced junk. Just play uncharted.
