  1. Tesla Cybertruck

    I know they're trying to be like Top Gear but I did watch Throttle House's mini road trip with the CT that was posted recently. They make some good points, and test some of the 'Tesla' stuff first hand. Still hate it though
  2. Question What GPUs would work well with my i7-4790?

    can't run anything more demanding than say the System Shock remake, Elite Dangerous, or Ghostrunner, but you might be surprised at the performance with adjustments. can even get a touch of AA in a few things that are better optimized. I did run into a situation where a round or two of GTFO...
  3. Question What GPUs would work well with my i7-4790?

    I'm using a RTX 2080 SUPER with a 4790k... but the GPU does the bulk of the work in games because of a working resolution of 7680 x 1440 :sweatsmile:
  4. Discussion What's a good mileage roughly to buy a used car?

    Also, 80k highway miles is WAYYY different than 80k city miles... js. I'd buy a 100k mile car with mostly highway miles over a 70-85k city car any day. I'm in a tight spot where my '06 Impreza, an absolute legend of a car, is now ~18 years old and I'm almost always replacing things on it. For...
  5. NV Super refresh reviews

    Gaming at 1080p? RTX 20 series, heck even GTX 10/16 series will get you by there. Save your money and buy more pixel space lol
  6. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    So, just to close this one out but I sealed up the card with the original cooler and I've still got no video output. The die side of the PCB didn't reveal any obvious signs of why this would be the case either, but it's looking like it's certainly dead. I'll reach out to Sapphire support to see...
  7. Question Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi; how to use backup BIOS?

    There a physical toggle switch on the PCB? Some of them can be really small.
  8. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Pulling the backplate didn't really offer much in the way of answers... all looks pretty flawless to me. The dark/wet areas are where the thermal pads made contact, but those came off very cleanly. I can't see any signs of missing or shorted out components. I'll pull the main block off next but...
  9. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    I did certainly have that thought, and might experiment with plugging the OE cooler in, although you would think the block manual would at least mention "hey bud, your card will not work if the fan isn't plugged in" if that were a thing. Would be news to me however...
  10. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Alright, so I took the 6800XT out and tossed a known good GPU in the same slot, and it worked fine, so that's not a great sign for the Navi card. Good news is I didn't need to do a full drain of the loop and waste coolant; I simply cut out the VGA part of the loop so that I could just use an air...
  11. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Oh I've got a heat gun... as I tend to do quite a bit of shrink wrapping. While it would not be preferable to retire the card, I picked it up as a used spare for a decent price back in March and I did get lots of gaming hours on it since. So, at least I got some of my money's worth 🤷‍♂️ Kind...
  12. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Yea I had that issue with the previous Vega card occasionally using DP, but I did try both DP and the single HDMI on this card and couldn't get anything. Not a great prognosis but I suppose there's still a chance it's alright. I've installed many full cover blocks in the past and this one...
  13. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Yea I think compatibility wise it shouldn't be an issue, except for the fact that the MB BIOS is technically a beta. That's the one thing I'm questioning although at this point I just gotta know if the card itself is bad. I was even wondering if maybe the OE card is smart enough to not power up...
  14. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Yea that's what I'm kind of thinking, especially since it should be working without much of an issue at all. I might try to reseat it but I'm certainly starting to think it's the card itself. I did inspect it closely after removing the original cooler, like I always do, and didn't see anything...
  15. Question RX 6800XT + X370 = No Video?

    Hello all, I've recently made an effort to squeeze the last bit of relevance out of my old ASRock X370 Professional Gaming motherboard by flashing its BIOS (latest is 7.30), upgrading to a 5800X processor, and re-assembling the custom cooling loop to include a 6800 XT graphics card (previously...
  16. Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    man i'd kill for a new chipset with boards that weren't all the same gray/black meh color scheme. i'm not saying we go back to green and yellow PCI slots but someone give these modern boards some character! it's like a sea of monochrome... /uselessrant
  17. Question Old motherboard won't boot.

    new carburetor? jk i've a soft spot for old boards... what memory is it running?
  18. Alan Wake 2 is Out, and Getting Outstanding Reviews.

    Got a 7.75 from GameInformer... though I'm not sure if they rated 2019's Control more than an 8. I did enjoy the first Alan Wake when I played it years and years ago, but I don't think I ever picked it up again--even when it came to PC.
  19. Starfield CPU & GPU limited, once again DX12/Vulkan fails to deliver

    Big performance gain moving from the 1700 to the 5700X (not surprisingly). The areas the system struggled with before are much smoother, and the newer CPU also allowed me to run whatever bs memory kit I'm using with this first gen board to run faster, so go figure. I'm gonna play around with...
  20. Starfield CPU & GPU limited, once again DX12/Vulkan fails to deliver

    I've been running this game on a "temporary" 1st gen Ryzen machine with a 1700 and oof, some of the areas like Akila and NA are super choppy. Smaller indoor areas and space battles are like butter, though. 3440x1440 still doesn't max out my GPU, so definitely looking forward to moving the game...
  21. who is wrenching today?

    Got some seized caliper pistons on the Subaru... grabbed a used set of 4 pot calipers from the west coast. will need to rebuild the existing pair, ugh.. because of those bad pistons my pads nearly wore out diagonally lol. Thought it was the cheap rotors I bought a couple of seasons ago but nope...
  22. Discussion Avowed by Obsidian

    Outer Words wasn't a bad game it just committed one really bad sin... pretending to create a bigger world then it actually allowed you to play in. Limited locations and no traversing space in real time kind of killed the experience for me. The visual style and gameplay was mostly there, with the...
  23. Question Computex - new trend to hide cable connections behind mobo. (Paul's Hardware)

    I'm all for clean builds but proprietary or semi-proprietary isn't good for the consumer. At the end of the day I just want my custom builds to work, even if there's some cables to look at. But that's just me, someone who isn't even fully accepting of the whole RGB-the-world mentality. I'm much...
  24. Question WD Wireless Pro Portable Hard Drive prevent to go to sleep

    yes, you can use 'KeepAwake', which is a small program that will write a file to the drive every few minutes or so. works fairly well from experience, some external drives will always sleep no matter what power saving settings you pick--so this is an easy workaround
  25. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

    Def would have gone with the suicides myself... and also a different car. They've got a bit of a cult following though. I went to a lemons race up at NHMS one year and there were like 3 of these things with big turbos ripping around the track :tearsofjoy:
  26. System Shock Remake

    I'm digging it so far, and for what it's worth I'm glad it actually got released. This thing sat in my wishlist on Steam for YEARS--and I wasn't sure it'd actually make it out. The gameplay is very retro, as are the maps and AI, but that's why you play something like this imo. It's a nice...
  27. Discussion Star Wars Jedi : Survivor - Discussion

    Enjoyed Fallen Order more than I planned to. I don't consider myself a SW fan by any means but that game was solid. One of the first games I ever played on PC was the original Dark Forces and, although I don't believe I ever got audio working on whatever glorified paperweight PC I used at the...
  28. Poll: Do you use optical drives in 2023?

    I still use them here and there, although very rarely and only when I have no other choice or there's a compatibility issue.
  29. Recommended anti-virus for 2023?

    I've been partial to BitDefender Total Security for awhile now; I think I'm paying for it on 3 devices. They often have some multi-device coverage deals going on. Can't go wrong with a 30 day trial
  30. Counter-Strike 2 - Now Live

    Yea I'll be really upset when Half-Life 2.9 launches
  31. Question How to Find Cause of Shutdown

    Thanks, had to enable the event tracker in group policy but maybe that'll shed some light on the cause; it'd be great if it actually inhibited the shutdown process. Not holding my breath there though. I'm also going to let process monitor capture overnight to see if I can pinpoint the exact...
  32. Question How to Find Cause of Shutdown

    thought i may have figured it out but turns out not to be the case. the system got shut down around 1:30 this morning but the only thing logged is Event ID 6008, which indicates an unexpected shut down. so frustrating...
  33. Question How to Find Cause of Shutdown

    Ehh, the error above it is just Hyper-V complaining about improper shutdown. The system is not rebooting, but shutting down completely.
  34. Question How to Find Cause of Shutdown

    I recently discovered that some mornings my home "server" needs to be manually powered back on. Looking in the event viewer there's clearly something logged, mentioning wininit.exe with a loopback address, but I'm not sure how to go about what is actually causing the system to power off. My best...
  35. Kia EV9 electric SUV

    looks like something out of Detroit Become Human but I kind of don't hate the styling overall, minus the "obviously an EV" wheels
  36. What are you playing nowadays? Share yo' thoughts.

    I think whatever ER character I had been running got roadblocked at Castle Sol. I seemed mostly fine up until that point but idk the build is like super vulnerable to that boss and I couldn't progress. Was just a basic bleed build since I actually am not that great at the game; was actually...
  37. Look how they massacred my boy: the 2024 Mustang

    Well... one could argue that 'real' muscle cars aren't fuel injected and have no more than 4 gears. Or airbags for that matter, but I digress. That being said yea the reworked front end isn't great. Seems like we're seeing a shift to smaller headlamps and big grills with loads of plastic trim.
  38. Black Mesa with raytracing

    Oh man, that would definitely be something I'd ogle over. CC did a great job pulling that across the finish line; RT would probably look amazing with all that texture and lighting work in S2.
  39. AMD Software : Adrenalin Edition 23.3.1 [22.40.37.01] - 07/03/23

    Might have to check out Halo with Ray Tracing... if it'll actually work with my 6900
  40. The 2023 Games Thread - What Will You Play This Year?

    Given I have the time... Stalker 2 (maybe Stalker 2006 for funsies beforehand, if it'll run) Dead Space remake, maybe summer sale? SW Jedi Survivor Diablo IV I'm not sure if Starfield will actually make it out this year, but I'll be checking that out when the time comes.
