It’s the “grandpa has been using slotted all his life so it can’t be bad” reasoning. I can’t think of a single use case I’d want slotted or even philips, if I’ve got a choice. Torx or bust!

If you’re having trouble with Torx, buy better screws and bits. There are so many terrible screws around. The difference between a deep well fitting head and the cheap trash is massive.

Unlocking a CPU with a pencil was great. Kids these days got no idea

I don’t know a thing about windows 11 but they’ll have to claw windows 10 away from me to force me to switch. Why would I even want to? Windows 10 works just fine and even that I only switched to because they fucking forced me. If I could I’d still use Windows 2000. I loved that one. XP was fine as well though. I don’t want to worry about my OS. I want it to fucking work.

But an OS you don’t need to upgrade doesn’t generate money.

A download manager would be nice…

Keep in mind you’ll have a hard time selling this. People don’t like DIY cards. Keep the original fans and slap them back on when it’s time to sell.

I was excited about it as well… in 2021. They’re never going to build these and if/when they do, it will bomb hard. It has become way too expensive and there are cheaper real electric cars now. There isn’t a market for these overpriced quads anymore. Only ones going to drive these are those with a death wish.

“I’ve had no issues therefore the issue doesn’t exist.”

So trash UI scaling is a feature? Try changing your display to a non-HiDPI one. Does this look good to you?

Almost no VR gamer has ever even heard of the game that won best VR game.

The most popular show is also the one most pirated…

Amazing stuff

Eli5 but wouldn’t going to 24v fix all of this? People buy new PSUs for their 4090 anyway.

MacOS has no proper UI scaling for example. Something windows had for… I don’t know, ever? It was never an issue for me.

For MacOS you need a little extra tool you stumble upon after hours of debugging that teels your MacOS what resolutions your display actually supports so MacOS grants you the option of your desired HiDPI resolution.

It’s stuff like this that drives me mad when dealing with the fucking Mac I am forced to use at work.

I am having the same feeling towards the Mac I have to use at work. That stupid piece of shit is just a usability nightmare. I’ve no idea why people insist on Apple products being simpler or more efficient to use. It’s just not true.

But he said they get paid more. That makes it ok for some reason.

Yeah I am rocking a 4070 and it’s amazing in Alan Wake 2. The only 4000 series card to consider, if you don’t want to spend fuck you money.

But if you want “future proof” you’ll need to go higher. And obviously no current or last gen AMD card is future proof at all. Ray tracing is the future. There, I said it.

According to the posted picture this should happen at 1440p with >14GB VRAM used. It doesn’t. 4k native is unplayable territory for every 12GB card anyway

DLSS is a thing thou

If you’d red the whole thing you’d found that those numbers are overblown. Fps of a 4070 should tank in 1440p and run out of VRAM but doesn’t.

Even with PT it’s fine

Optimization is supposedly fine because it looks the part. Optimization doesn’t mean make everything run on old hardware. It means make it run as well as possible. There’s only so much you can do while retaining the fidelity they’re going for.
