I would say yes.... 16GB is the absolute bare minimum really. You cant run Win 11 well on 8GB, at this point I would call it a budget option to build with 16GB. Windows has always been really bad at memory management and has always required more and more ram with each iteration. After my system...

I feel like I got a great deal on this screen - either that, or I didn't do my research. I'm still in the return window so I'm just gathering some opinions as a sanity check. This seems like a hell of a lot of features, and 4k at 28 inch has great pixel density... so, jumping from a 24" TN SDR...

Been thinking about this lately. I usually will grab the 1% lows after about an hour after gameplay and cap my FPS 10 frames above that for very smooth frame times vs the highest possible FPS. I always apply a cap and just wont play anything I have to cap below 60fps; but that 100-120fps range...

Nah, not doing anything like that - just some in game voice and on rare occasion a video call

I agree that RGB is useless. you cant see it, and I've never heard anyone say "They sound better because they light up" (ok so maybe I've said it; but we all know its BS LMAO) - headphones should be for the ears, not the eyes, for sure I got these Elo Air 7.1's as a gift some years ago and its...

Recently I left my gaming headphones at work so I grabbed my Bose QC35ii headphones (these are my primary mobile device headphones) I had to dig for it for about 10 minutes but i found and used the AUX cable to plug them into FPAUDIO of my sound card, enabling the headphone amplifier and...

The main point I'm trying to make is that that they lack a gaming oriented release. It would be nice to have a choice to run something like the Xbox OS on my PC to play PC games and install PC applications...Yes, XboxOS has some of the same parts under the hood as Windows, but it has no...

This is not a "switch to Linux" rant, please stick with me... I switched to Linux for gaming for a few weeks just to see if it's coming along as well as I have heard. Its a totally viable option if you are willing to learn a lot of stuff all over again and eat the lack of hardware feature...

Yes, absolutely I have! When Mass Effect 2 released in 2010 I grabbed my collectors edition at midnight on Jan 26, played till about 530a and then called in sick to get a small nap in and then play the rest of the day lol. Did the same thing in 2012 when Borderlands 2 came out. I called out sick...

I've honestly never installed For Honor yet. It does say that there is a story campaign, but it could just be an afterthought if its primary draw is online play. Thanks for that bit of info, pretty sure I can cross that one off the backlog if its a live service\pvp type of deal. Not my thing.

Finished the main story on Witcher 3 this weekend. Took me about 100 hours, but I did do a fair bit of side quests. I only took up a few contracts here and there. Seriously....epic experience, and I'm pretty sure I have barely scratched the surface. Gonna break from it for a while and go back...

I found this one as well. I think its a pretty great price on an ultrawide and I am really leaning towards it barring any quality or longevity issues.... Doing a little research now...

I think this is basically where I'm at. At this point I feel like anything from the last 4 years would be an upgrade. My display has some really bad pixelation on black gradients. dark scenes are just muddy black mess, and there is a hint of backlight bleed. I'm not really looking for the king...

I have a very old 24" 1440p 165hz TN panel Dell S2417DG . I am interested in this monitor linked below. I know this will not be the one monitor to rule them all - I am just curious of how noticeable will the upgrade be. At that price would it be worth it, or would I be better off jumping up to...

Well, looks like this idea is a bust - perhaps I'll prioritize a new display. It has been QUITE some time since this thing got a new head. There is nothing wrong with my 3090ti at the moment so I can be patient. I'm sure popping a new HDR display will liven things up quite a bit. Thanks...
