    Question Mid-Week Question: The best pet in a game is...?

    I will never forget my dragon, Wendel. I looted him from Wormguts down in Firecat Alley on a gamble that my relatively low-level character could pull off summoning a Phoenix, I had the perfect number of pips and it was my most powerful attack, but I only pulled it off about 30% of the times I...

    Question Why Does My PC Keep Rebooting During Games?

    For the longest time, my PC would shut down randomly. Whenever I booted up AC Odyssey with a Vega 64, my whole system would freeze and reboot. I swapped out every single component, reinstalled the OS, except for the PSU (You can see where this is going). Turns out my PSU was configured in...

    Question Rate my Ultra Wide Gaming Budget Build [PCPARTPICKER List In Thread]

    I'd like to preface; I'm an anti-RGB person. This build is excellent on paper, especially when you visualize the clean look of that case and the all Corsair RGB, extending to your keyboard and headphones. But, all that RGB doesn't equate to value, it's a luxury. If you're trying to go for the...

    Question Rate my Ultra Wide Gaming Budget Build [PCPARTPICKER List In Thread]

    The motherboard chipset shouldn't have an impact on the longevity and performance of the board itself. Intel makes their high-end chipset the only one for overclocking, but AMD allows it for the mid-range B450 boards. As for the core count, what do you plan on using this desktop for aside...

    Question Rate my Ultra Wide Gaming Budget Build [PCPARTPICKER List In Thread]

    These are my thoughts, I saw the price at the bottom of the list and thought how this could be a budget build until I saw your monitor haha. - I would say go for a B450 board since X570 is only needed if you need those PCI-E 4.0 lanes. Since you're not using a PCI-E 4.0 NVMe drive or an RDNA...

    Please help with running total war three kingdoms ultra unit size.

    I've had the same experience in every Total War game with this. Fast forwarding is essentially asking your system to hurry the heck up and process all of the information in 1/2 or 1/4 of the time. Try lowering all of your settings while keeping the ultra unit sizes and see if it still happens.

    M&B Bannerlord: Things you want changed or added

    I wish there was some way of creating a plan before sieges. Like, tell archers to find cover and hold there until you give some form of "proceed to next phase" order while the heavy infantry rushes the gate to bash it down. As of now, the gatehouses don't really get used by the AI because...

    Create a forum account?

    Nah, my guess is the forum is running with a self-contained user DB. The accounts for PC Gamer Club are in a separate DB it would seem.

    What PC games do you play that are relaxing?

    I've been playing X4 through quarantine to relax. The beginning of a game is not relaxing in X, but once I start building up my own ships and stations, I can sit at my desk for 30 minutes just selecting units, building fleets, coordinating construction and ganking pirates who try to intimidate...

    What happened to Half-Life Alyx?

    The other thing is that VR is still in a niche. The Steam Hardware Survey currently has the percentage of users with VR headsets at 1.91%. The number of owners is higher than that because there are people like me who don't use their VR headset outside of showing friends and family. It's sort...

    Razer Core X or Build a Desktop?

    So the thing to note with eGPU's using Thunderbolt 3 is that you only get 4 PCI-E lanes instead of the usual 16 lanes. I had the HP Omen Accelerator to use with my HP Spectre x360 13, which I should note has an i7-8550U and 16GB of memory, but it's also the thinnest laptop I've owned so the heat...

    I'm looking forward to the cyborg-ness of everything. I've even created a few infomercial ideas: "You don't like the color of your eyes? Change them! It's 2077; plastic surgery is for your grandparents, stop on down by Earl's Eye Mods located in Downtown's Studio City! We've got blue, brown...
