Recommended Posts

Whats that system like? Im considering getting that as its cheap.

Nice set up (Y)

Cheers! It's nice to finally have my monitor so I can keep my PC and PS3 next to each other for gaming. I think my GF is happy she can use the TV again. :p

Small set up here. PC is a few years old. But hanging in there. Been collecting HDDs lately. been pretty cheap.

Snagged the 32" LCD when the local Circuit City was moving to another location. Paid about 400 for it. Antec900 case packed tightly inside. Hope i do this right with the pic uploading.

Sweet. Not an RPG man myself, but Fallout 3 does look tempting! Might have to wait till it hits ?20 again though. Just ordered the Prince of Persia anyway, so I think that will tide me over till then. Killing time till Killzone 2 tbh.:pp

I bought it for ?19.98 from Amazon the next day it went up to ?29.:laugh:gh:

Yeah I think that's where I saw it actually. I'm glad I waited now though, seeing as they just added trophy support. There's nothing like just finishing GTA4 to find they added trophies that aren't retroactive:wacko:o:

Alienware is a status symbol. Keep the case, upgrade the computer. You can build a full rig with x2 Radeon 4830's Crossfire and a Q6600 for under $600. That, of course, if better than what you have. I applaud you for having enough money for an Alienware, but just build your PC's. You won't have to fast for the next month after you purchase it that way ;)

Oh please, because I didn't praise his benchmarks from a seriously old game on a overpriced brand-PC with sub-par specs - I'm so sorry :rolleyes:

Dude, you need to learn to relax at time. Someone asked him the stats, so be posted them, and he said what games run well and why he likes his computer. He got good framerates, and you chose to ridicule him for some reason. Chill out.

If you used those sharp falcon eyes of yours, you'd notice i added a ":p" smiley to my original post, meaning it was probably a light hearted joke - Then he chooses to misunderstand it and get offended, plus you have to add a comment as well ( Why? ). Then I might as well act like the angry douche you're apparently making me out to be.

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
