I've been using Linux (POP_OS) for about the last ~6 months or so to do mostly development work and browse the web. I really like the UI and the user experience thus far has been really nice. Currently I have dual boot and go into Windows currently right now if I want to game or if there's...

Hi My wife and I were talking about Hogwarts Legacy last night when she said (to my astonishment), "maybe you should build me a gaming computer". Wow. Okay. Absolutely! She likes the idea of having the computer in our living room, tucked away in our entertainment console. This necessitates the...

Does this have any use to anyone? I believe I won it at Quakecon 2006, but never took it out of the box.

I had Prodeus (https://store.steampowered.com/app/964800/Prodeus/) on my Steam wish list for quite some time and finally decided to take the plunge and buy it last weekend. I'm about 3 hours in and really am enjoying it. If you enjoyed DOOM 2016, you would likely also really enjoy this game...

Has anyone sold computer hardware on ebay before? And, if the buyer has requested a return, how did you handle it? I recently sold a Vega 56 on eBay (it was delivered to buyer March 14) and I got a return request for the item today, stating: "This gpu runs for at most 10 mins then will give a...

Why can I no longer see comments on the News posted on the main site? Have to specifically go find the thread in the forums to check out the discussion.

I'm looking for recommendations on mid-towers that have buttons on either the front or the side. My current case has the power/reset buttons on the top of the case. My cat loves to hop up and sit on top of my tower, and unfortunately, sometimes hits the power button with her paw. I'd love to...

I had initially ruled out buying a video card during these crazy times, but decided to check eBay to see how much my video card could go for (Radeon Vega 56).. To my surprise, it was a LOT more than I thought... $600 - $800... After realizing that, I started my search, and I had a card-holder...

Hi Got some fresh sticks in along with a new motherboard... The RAM is supposed to be running at 3600Mhz 16CL... But I see it's currently running at 1330 20CL... What's the best way to get it up to its rated speed? I very briefly poked around in the BIOS, but I didn't see an option for...

Hi all, Hoping you can help me troubleshoot. I have a new build with the following specs: CPU: Ryzen 5900X GPU: Radeon Vega 56 Motherboard: ASUS STRIX B550-E RAM: Crucial Ballistix 32GB...

Hi all, I’m upgrading my PC for the first time in just under 5 years. I’m wondering if there is a best/preferred method for getting Windows on my new machine. Can I just install via a thumb drive and use the product key in my current system settings? Or should I clone my existing SSD to my new...

Hi, I find it very difficult to quickly navigate to a specific page in the review. The only options appears to be: I skimmed the review, then read something in the concolusion, and now I want to read more detail... The only problem, I have no idea what page it's on! And just having the pages...

Hi, I've always been wrary of the "discount" carriers (non- AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), but in an effort to cut my monthly expenses, I'm looking at various options. Specifically, I'm looking at Spectrum Mobile (Verizon) and Mint Mobile (T-Mobile)... Does anyone have experience with either of...

For me, I'd love to see a remaster of Prey (2006)... It had amazing graphics at the time; they still look pretty decent... But I would love to see it again with modern graphics, raytracing, and AI not built on the Doom 3 engine (a real weak point imo).

Is there any benefit to an Add-in card over a SSD in the m2 slot? (e.g.: https://www.microcenter.com/product/631664/wd-black-an1500-1tb-ssd-(wds100t1x0l)-up-to-6500-mb-s-pcie-nvme-30-x8-internal-solid-state-drive,-3d-tlc-nand,-add-in-card-(aic) ) It looks like it uses pcie3 connection... So is...

My suggestion is to get rid of the "Tech News" forum category, and instead post all tech news in its relevant category. (E.g. https://www.thefpsreview.com/2021/06/04/amd-fidelityfx-super-resolution-coming-to-xbox-series-xs/ would be posted to the Video Cards section...

I'm seriously considering upgrading my PC and I think this time I would like to do a custom loop water cooling set up. This is something I've always wanted to do, but have never really had the funds to do so. Because I've never really had the funds to do so, I've never seriously researched the...

With Quakecon and Dreamhack both being cancelled this year, if you're like me, you could sure use a lan party! Lan All Night (https://lanallnight.com/) has thrown a couple of lan parties the past year (some of them 'social distance lan parties') and they've announced their next event for October...

Anyone have a home security recommendation? Have gotten Facebook ads for SimpliSafe recently and seems like a reasonable monthly fee with the alacart option to choose exactly what you want. Wondering if anyone has any experience w/ SimpliSafe or would have some other recommendation? Thanks Snowy

Hi all, Finally going to be replacing my headphones with some Sennheiser 599. Given the ohms of 50, I'm thinking a DAC might not be a bad idea. Any general recommendations? I think I would probably prefer an external DAC as it will make transferring my headset between my gaming PC and my laptop...
