  1. Newegg Launches GPU Trade-In Program: Up to $561 in Credit for AMD and NVIDIA Graphics Cards

    Yeah, I checked on this last night as well. Ironically the one thing I'd be interested in trading isn't on their list, my EVGA 3090 Ti. EVGA drops off their list with the 3090. I'm going to reach out because I'd be interested in the $561 trade-in value toward another Liquid Suprim X 4090. I...
  2. Intel Meteor Lake Processors Confirmed to Only Be in Mini-PCs, All-in-One Designs, and Mobile Devices

    It has been confirmed that the upcoming Intel Meteor Lake Processors will not be offered in a traditional socketed CPU design. This news arrives after reports from last week that the 14th Gen processors, also a part of Intel's new Ultra line of branding, would be available in both desktop and...
  3. Halk Hogan Releases Starfield HD Reworked Project 1.0 Improving Environmental and NPC Textures

    Sorry to hear that. I've been too busy to try it but I had great experiences with Halk's Witcher packs, but then I didn't start using them until around ver. 10 or so (they went to over 12.0). I'm sure you've already done it but make sure you're using the latest NV driver. They enabled ReBar a...
  4. Sound issues

    I hope they can find a way to help remediate it. My stuff is a cross of being too rough on myself over the years combined with an assortment of inherited DNA things that decided to make appearances in the last decade, plus a number of unknowns at the moment.
  5. MSI Quietly Expands Its New Essential Series with the Addition of the RTX 4090 Ventus 3X Featuring Dual HDMI Ports

    Those on the lookout for a graphics card with two HDMI ports have another option as MSI quietly expands its Ventus Essential Series. MSI began launching the Essential series during the summer, along with its Limited series and Gaming Slim lineup of RTX 40 series graphics cards. Now while not...
  6. Sound issues

    I truly hope for the best for you. I'm sort of lucky, testing has shown mine to be healthy but I have other underlying health conditions affecting my vision and hearing these days. At this point dieting, 6+ weeks since I stopped drinking alcohol, doing some exercise nearly daily, and trying to...
  7. Halk Hogan Releases Starfield HD Reworked Project 1.0 Improving Environmental and NPC Textures

    Pretty much the same here. I managed to finish an easy planet scan but after trying to do about 3 or 4 I gave up. I've done about 2 or 3 dozen side missions so far and I'm maybe 1/3 into the main quest.
  8. Updated 12V-2×6 Connector, Aka Formerly 12VHPWR, Survives 640W Stress Test Even When Partially Inserted

    Yep, my only concern with this testing is the quality of cables used with the connector. What they had looked pretty beefy and I'm not so sure if all manufacturers will use something similar. Otherwise, at least its progress.
  9. Updated 12V-2×6 Connector, Aka Formerly 12VHPWR, Survives 640W Stress Test Even When Partially Inserted

    The updated 12V-2x6 connector, the follow-up to the controversial 12VHPWR connector has passed a series of stress tests with flying colors. HardwareBusters took the new connector to task by not only using it under ideal settings, but also tried a couple of "user" error-type scenarios, and the...
  10. Larian Studios Exec Speaks Up in Defense of Microsoft’s Extremely Low Assessment to Get Baldur’s Gate 3 onto Game Pass at Launch

    Yeah, this is a very unusual situation and a total exception to the norm. I haven't played the game, or any before it, but have heard the same in regard to early access and so on. Ultimately though, congrats to Larian on a job well done and I'm glad they are able to laugh all the way to the bank...
  11. Resident Evil 4 Story DLC “Separate Ways” Launches for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam

    Steam has the base and deluxe version of the game on sale right now. I went ahead and got this plus the deluxe which came to ~60 so essentially the full game and I'm pretty happy with it. I used the following mod to add DLSS and UW support to it and it works like a charm (also grabbed the latest...
  12. Ahsoka Episode 5 Features the Best Shots in Star Wars History, Fans Say

    Well, I think we're back into the end with this one. I had watched EP5 a couple of weeks ago but hadn't watched it with my wife until last night and then we watched Ep6 right after. We both still feel it's weird how Sabine has basically lost a few levels compared to where she was at the end of...
  13. Banish the Noise: All the Enthusiast Power without the Fan/Pump Noise (sortof)

    I admit I've thought about doing something similar to this over the years by using KVM switches and so on. Basically keeping one rig in the cave and running cables to rooms throughout the house. What's held me back, mostly, is that display needs are always increasing and it's difficult to source...
  14. Intel Confirms Arrow Lake, Lunar Lake, and Panther Lake Processor Lineups Will Begin Launching in 2024 and into 2025

    I'm pretty committed to sticking with my 5800X3D builds. So far, it's been an incredible ride with that CPU. I know Phantom Liberty is boasting to push it to its limits but we'll see. I spent 10+ years using Intel processors for my builds and I'm fine with doing another but they really have to...
  15. Halk Hogan Releases Starfield HD Reworked Project 1.0 Improving Environmental and NPC Textures

    If I wasn't already burnt out on this game I'd install this. I do think it looks pretty good. Maybe later.
  16. iFixit Drops iPhone Repairability Score to 4/10: “Atrocious Limitations”

    It'll be ironic though if Apple does go wireless, and I agree that it probably will, makes perfect sense, but still has to adhere to regulations allowing user-replaceable batteries.
  17. Starfield Player Uses Outpost System to Create Gigantic Factory: “Here’s What 100+ Hours Gets You”

    Yeah, I'm already feeling some burnout from it. I've decided to take a break and go back to CP2077 to finish some missions before the Phantom Liberty release. I also went ahead and got the RE4 Deluxe edition on sale plus the Separate Ways DLC. Started playing it yesterday and having a blast. I...
  18. Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID 360 ATMOS AIO CPU Cooler Review

    Nice looking cooler and quite competitive. Taming a 13900K @275W under load is no easy task. I just want to know, how well does it do at playing Dolby audio tracks?
  19. iFixit Drops iPhone Repairability Score to 4/10: “Atrocious Limitations”

    Well, it's a ways off but there is this: https://www.thefpsreview.com/2023/06/17/eu-passes-new-legislation-that-will-require-mobile-device-manufacturers-to-have-user-replaceable-batteries-by-2027/ The EU did manage to play a factor in getting Apple to begin switching over to USB Type C so the...
