[OFFICIAL] Gaming Setups Thread (PC & Console)


Recommended Posts

sorry about that guys, the server must be playing up as it decided to copy what i wrote 3 times and not actually put the picture up- and now it wont let me edit it :s, and i've just tried it again and it wont let me attach anything :(

Work hard and get a job? These kids parents are working hard!

I have a great paying job as an IT teacher/Network admin. I have an apartment, but I'm moving into a house in a year or two. I wouldnt assume anything on forums, you just never know.

what's underneath your ps2?

It's a drawer that was made for SNES cartridges. Unfortunately my SNES got stolen a long time ago, but we kept the drawer. Now I keep my N64 cartridges and extra hardware in it.

doesn't that lamp make a huge glare?

Nope I flick the tft to text mode and its fine and for gaming i hit it into movie day and its fine.

The flame removes a little of the glare when I don't have the main lights on. Its a huge living room so it saves on power.

However crap it looks, the quality isn't that bad, mainly because I haven't seen HD in detail so nothing to compare with!

Although i'm definately getting a new HD V, especially when I get my good old Pay through ;)

Heres the xbox360 (Connect to a nice pair of those Ultra Super Duper Bose Headphones and XBOX Live kicks ass 4am in the morning!)

hey thetechroom, is fifa06 any good??? i see crap reviews on ign and gamespot but i reckon they talk crap lol.. also, have you played normal xbox on that tv before? if so can you tell me how much better the 360 looks.. everyone is scaring me into buying a hdtv by saying how crap 360 looks on sd lol

hey SeMz... the thing is 360 does look amazing on SDTV as it is still way better graphics than the previous generation, but you simply cannot compare it to HDTV. The people who say you cant play a 360 on a SDTV cause its so bad are wrong- i have a 360 and have played on both my SDTV and my HDTV and it still looks amazing on my normal TV- but boy when i hook it up to my 26" HDTV it's something special :). Hope this helps. your friendly neowinian, mike. :alien:

Well my take on Fifa, its not too much of a bad game, to be honest, its only good online when your playing different people. Mainly because after completing the Qualification for the World Cup the only good thing left is playing online. Money well spent, well only if your gonna play this with friends online, and the easy setting is way to easy, try playing it on harder.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
