I want so badly to bump up to OLED but just haven't found the right panel. The new Alienware AW3226Q may get me to bite if it doesn't have supply constraints. The 3440x1440 really really tempted me (and I won't lie, the gift of one to the wife was to beta test it...) But I'm really a dual...

I mean, I thought we fixed the powervirus thing back when Furmark was destroying GPUs. This is what I was thinking of, but yeah, a power limit thing you would think would work too

I got my wife the Alienware version earlier this year and - yeah - nice panel but very very thin on any type of features

There’s been a frame cap available in the driver for years now. I guess people may not know it’s there but.. mind blowing something with pixel graphics could even get the fans to turn on on something like a 5090

How do you know? It certainly didn't sell as well as they thought it would. You can ~speculate~ that it's because it was a medicore game (I haven't played it, but by all accounts, you are not wrong) - but most games (not all, just most) have the majority of there sales near release, and being a...

Wait that can't be serious... "An intense session of Shattered Pixel Dungeon" This game right here, which I don't think could even make a phone get warm on Ultra settings... supposedly helped melt a 5090

Black Friday is coming.

There are untold number of games out there with that same, or deeper, social aspect now. Sure, it's not identical to what an MMO used to be, but it's still there. Even single-player games, with Discord and other 3rd party tools. They are just monetizing it differently. What used to be called a...

Cutting out Playstation... you lose a massive part of the console market there. But you may push native sales. And if they are doing a simultaneous PC release. I dunno. It needs to be part of a thought-out strategy, and I think a big part of that has to be where hardware prices are when the game...

MMOs have been there for decades

Ok so I had no idea what that was, but googled "ST Lights of Zetar with the woman who was being possessed" and amazingly: Courtesy Trekkie Feminist

I'm still on Zen3/DDR4 but right now sure as heck isn't the time to jump from that platform. It is curious this Zen4 is being released now, and I'm actually surprised it's as competitive as it is (with respect to price/performance and all)

Probably not, but it still wasn't impressive enough to make me want to go out and get a card where I could use it as intended either.

Standard Molex was never immune to meltdowns either - it certainly can happen. Mostly it was with cheap extension cables or cheap no-name power supplies though - so it was easy to point the finger at a manufacturing flaw rather than a design defect. 12VHPWR though - doesn't seem as if anything...

From reading, it sounds like they put a thermocouple in the plug itself. But yeah, just looking at typical amps/volts, nothing there really protects you from high point source resistance.

So I tried this out. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/you-can-now-apply-dlss-5-to-your-entire-desktop-with-a-free-app-and-it-even-works-with-rtx-30-series-cards/ First off - it worked on my 3080. I mean, FPS was about what you would expect (unplayable), but I was mostly just looking to see...

Limited Edition because they already laid off the designers?

This article is just talking about units sold - but does not discriminate as to who did the purchasing
