Tech Gaming Hardware discussion (& Hardware Sales) thread

I have a friend that can help me build the thing, hes just not sure about softwear specs.
 
What games are you looking at playing? A 1660 Ti (I assume that's what you have because there's no such thing as a 1060 Ti) can still get around 45 FPS at 1080p Ultra and you can mod it to use AMD's version of DLSS.
 

miss typed the card number.

I can run most games now baring Dragons Dogma 2, I am looking into Space marine 2 but that wont be able to run on what i got now

Not so fast. Use FSR3 with it first.

 
How easy would that be to use ? never heard of it before just now, not the biggest tech head.
 
My GTX 1070 is still (barely) good enough thanks to FSR3. Not for much longer but still.

Very cool, thanks for the help gents. @My Spot @Madmick @KaNesDeath

I see issues with my mother board and a 1080ti online is that always the case or just some user errors.


I am running a ASUS Z370 prime motherboard.

Link of your motherboard that you sent me in the DM's wont have this problem. This is motherboard revision specific. Caused by the aesthetic shroud they added to the AIO section.
 
Damn I had an annoying time setting up my PCI hyper card.

1) the screws to keep it in place the SSD were some weird hex pattern that I didn't have the right tools for so I had to buy different screws of amazon. They were still a total bitch to install because they just aren't long enough after putting the SSDs on the thermal paste in the hyper card. And unless you have tiny hands it's really fricking hard.... much harder than it should be.

2) changing the bios to recognize the two SSDs instead of just one was not fun. BIOS is just not user friendly and in plain enough language. Had to hunt down youtube videos and none had my version of the BIOS but by sheer luck found one close enough that got me to the right place.

Must say, good feeling when all done and new drives all formatted. I have 5 internal m.2 SSDs now which is a bit overkill but at least it helps keep things clean and organized and easy to back up when I have to.
 
Why'd you buy a Z board for a locked CPU?

If you used a lower series board, you couldn't set your ram above 2666.
Sometimes Z series boards will offer better features like an improved audio section or better networking.
 
We had a thunderstorm this morning. I was in bed looking out my window and seeing flashes of lightning and loud thunders right beside my home. I went back to sleep

I woke up and nothing in my livingroom works. Everything fromm TV to my PS5 to Mt new stereo got fried. Those electric outlets I had my electronics plugged into are dead.

I moved my TV and PS5 to another outlet that works and they still don't turn on. They're fried.

I had all my electronics plugged into surge protector too and none of the fuses got flipped

In this storm I lost a 50 inch TV, PS5, air conditioner in window, mini fridge, ceiling fan, 4 electric outlets. The electronics weren't all plugged into a single plug.. I had them spaced out between those 4 outlets

This sucks...

I literally just bought the stereo and shelf for TV and posted it couple days ago. All my stuff was basically new.

I just started the Elden Ring DLC last night too. I was farming the Black Knight armor set.

Everything in that pic is fried

RIP
