its a pretty console tbh
agreed
agreed
What do you guys think? Do you think Microsoft will push to have Windows 10 merge with the Xbox one ecosystem? I think they are really gunning to bring these two platforms together. Thoughts?
i play 360 and 1
So what's everyone's battlestations?
-Level 10 GTS Snow Edition White SECC ATX Mid Tower
-Asus Rog Strix Z270E Gaming Mobo
-Intel Core i5 7600K
-Vega 56 Airboost OC by MSI
-32 GB (4x 8GB) G.SKILL Trident RAM
-Z270E Strix Gaming mobo
-RAM can run at up to 3200 MHz
?
@wind folio hey, i had a 360 before, as i played Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition way too much (about 5 years)
I7-8700
16gb Ram
RTX 2070 - 8GB OC
Not sure other specs matter much. haha
nice Henry! I built my current PC last December:
- ASUS Prime Z390A MB

- GeForce RTX 2080
- 64GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz RAM
- 4K60 Pro Elgato HDMI Capture Card
- 2TB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe boot drive
- 6TB WD Gold 7200 RPM data drive
- Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M ATX mid tower
right now i have a 360 but my halo doent really work that well because the disk is scatched
My PC is poor to be honest, about 111 GB/8GB OC, HP S2301 Monitor, Intel Core i5-2320, CPU @ 3.00 GHz, Windows 10 Home Ver. 1809
Current OS Data: 86.9 GB out of 111 GB

- 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 @ 2666 MHz
- 1TB Samsung 860 Evo
- 1TB Intel 600p NVME boot
- Fractal Design Meshify C
- Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa
this is my 2 yr old pc CPU:Intel Skylake, Core i5 6500 3.20GHz box
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 Windforce 8GB GDDR5 256bit
PSU:Thermaltake Litepower 650W GEN2
Case:Thermaltake Versa N21
hey evrey stores in pc xbox game pass is came ing in microsoft store
very cool battlestations
I am planning on updating my mobo for Ryzen 3000 series
The Intel vulnerabilities are unnerving
There are tricks to work around it with
not sure if I still have the magazine article on that though
gonna go for a walk then see if I can find it
Proton and stuff is okay but it still doesn't support that many games
I'm talking about a way to get steam on there
Steam's natively supported on Linux.
I used to dual boot
ohs
But other storefronts are not.
but I had to reinstall
I would only chance dual boot on a mac
later
just create two partitions
walk time
or just ditch linux entirely? I still don't get whats so good about Linux. You can do Linux-like stuff with the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
I have a fairly high end pc, it has trash air circulation though. I got it prebuilt by iBuyPower and would have to take it in or return it and have it get sent back to install new fans, without evading the warrenty.
Specs:
- GTX 1080
- i7-8700k 3.7 GHz
- 16 gb ram (have to check whether they are ddr5 or ddr4
- 1tb ssd
How good is my pc, i got it 2 years ago for 1700, overpriced but my first anyway.
I like my cinnamon desktop
I like having a stable system
one that doesn't update itself at random intervals
I like having a main system that is more immune to viruses too
I also don't like being spyed on
Most people can avoid viruses by not being silly and browsing the wrong websites.
And Linux gets loads of vulnerabilities.
linux rarely gets them
Windows is a massive OS so it has more people trying to exploit it.
Android's the same way.
iOS / macOS have quite small userbases in comparison to the Android / Windows userbases so they aren't as big of targets.
Other Operating Systems may be vulnerable to exploiting it's software as it might target it's users to get Malware, thankfully Windows Defender might help with that
@oak coral oh my... that OS didn't even had Activation Screens
I switched because I disliked where microsoft took their os
@full flint you what?
Anyways telemetry helps MS improve Windows and at least they aren't as bad as Google when it comes to that.
they still sell you ads though
in bing they do
@full flint @oak coral i'd removed/formatted Windows Vista out of my laptop because, as Windows Vista is no longer supported, it was a slow OS and i don't want to threat Windows 10 to run as slow as Vista did
and msn
@oak coral same, it's in a horrible shape as of recently
And Bing is tiny in comparison to Google.
not to mention
I trust Microsoft with my data.
on a paid version of their os
its not.
it is
its not bloatware if you can remove it. and you can. so no, its not bloatware.
and i guarantee you Linux Mint has way more apps / libraries / services / etc installed than Windows 10.
In fact, Apple uses Bloatware for their apps as well, so it's no coincidence that Microsoft has to do the same for their operating system, Windows 10 @oak coral
I disagree
I've used Windows 10 since the first developer preview back in 2014. I know Windows 10 pretty darn well. I've never had a Windows 10 BSOD unless I ended up doing something really stupid, like messing up my overclock. Other than that Windows 10 has been as stable as a rock.
Everything istalled is there because I want it
Windows 10 blue screens frequently for me
then that's your hardware not playing nice.
works fine in mint though
i have less BSOD's than usual, i try to not install as many apps on my PC or it might crash or end up breaking my computer's cpu and overclock entirely
I disagree there.
Every time I've used Linux something ended up messing up or something. And I've been using computers / playing video games since I was a toddler (3, computers and stuff really interested me at how cool and fancy they were haha, then again toddlers find a lot of stuff interesting)
Not with Windows
I'd use macOS before I'd ever use Linux again.
My first computer was actually a iMac G4 with Mac OS X 10.5.8, and it ran Extremely Slow as i can't remove my data out of it
i'm gonna be building a new PC this summer hopfully ๐
yuuup
i'm actually on a tight budget so i might settlee for a R7 2700x instead
cuz thosr are like $279
just get the R5 3600 instead
yea i do
but if its for gaming then the 3600 is a better idea
6 cores is plenty for music production
yeah a 2700x should be a good choice
๐
I do video work so I'm saving for a 3900x
ayy nice
Most people only need the extra cores if they're doing video editing / blender renders / other intense work
i originally just wantd a budget build for VR
like ean r52600 +GTX 1070
(please don't)
Monitor not included
Stand not included*
That's sold separately for $999
imma buy the stand only lol
both not included
$1000 monitor stand
WTF Apple.
I have ยฃ97 to my name
you should know the price of the monitor phew
$5k
I will not be buying a mac any time ever
lol
but then I ralized that CP2077 is gonna comee out latee2019/early 2020 so i might as well go crazy aaa go stupid and get a fully future proof build
But compared to other similar monitors built for those professional purposes, that Apple monitor is a major bargain.
what about the $6k Mac Pro 2019, with the highly expensive Pro Retina Display
Other equivalent monitors are like $40K
thats like $11,000 @median ermine
i just bought a 144hz 27" Dell monitor
nice
I use a 55" display as my monitor
that refresh rate will change your life
4K
it's a TN panel tho and i'm coming from a 22" 60hz ips
eeewww TN
yea...
Oceancoastline#8817 has been banned.
I hate TN
tn is fine for gaming
but again, low budget
oof beaned
F
F
I use a tn and a va panel
hehehehehe
Hey quick question, anybody know where to find some really cheap(ish) GPU's? I have a card on my main build but im out of town and I am working on a tight budget
plus im sure with a bit of calibration, i can get the new monitor lookin nice and clean
@obtuse dune get an rx 570
plus i use a TN pannel at my work and it honestly doeesn't look that bad
the calibration on it is absolute poo poo tho
way too much contrast
Cant get an amd card lol. Dad works with nvidia and im pretty sure he would kill me if I bought an amd card.
just paint it green and call it a gtx 1650 ti
^ Lol good idea fearless
Kabar as far as that the discount isnt very nominal and is generally only on newer cards.
as far as I know
new nvidia cards haven't been all that impressive
neither has amd
hopefully navi can be something of worth
Well, heres the thing. They really only changed the architecture and added ray tracing through it. They didnt have any nominal increases in VRam or memory speed which is disheartening. ]
ahhhh im so excited for the new monitor aaaaaa
Alright well anyways boys, peace.
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-D2719HGF-Response-Speakers-FreeSync/dp/B07J4SXNQ5 this is the one i got
@digital olive I hate TN. I can only stand VA / IPS / AMOLED
AMOLED being the best of the three
ofc.
amoled is great apart from the burn in
Never experienced that.
me neither but it is still super common on tvs and phones
so when will the new xbox overlay will hit windows? I hope they the Game DVR uses GPU encode so it doesn't cut into CPU performance.
Game Bar should be available to everyone by now.
@feral estuary keep in mind not everyone has a GPU ๐
You need the 1903 Windows 10 update though.
GPUs are... usually 100% busy rendering the game though.
No the GPUs have encoders which do the kob
What you want to avoid CPU usage is hardware video encode
Okay, that's what you meant
Did GameDVR on PC not use hardware encode before? That's hard to believe.
Nvidia has NVenc, AMD has something similar i forgot the name. This is major reason why I don't use Game DVR, it kills CPU
Game DVR uses CPU
and it still does
Ok, we definitely use hardware encode on console.
I guess the PC team must have reasons.
yeah xbox uses hardware, for some reason pc uses software encode.
so I know generally the best time to buy a motherboard ram and cpu is during black friday/cyber monday but is there any other time? ๐ฎ
@feral estuary Nividia has G-sync and AMD has FreeSync
@full flint I am talking about GPU decoders, not the VRR tech. Also G sync works on Adaptive sync (Freesync) now.
yay
hello all
hey
hey
anyone have steam
i do
i do
add me
I have steam
PC gaming without Steam. Itโs like having a car without AC. Sure you can use without it, but why even.
who doesn't lol
I'll add u
like 8 of my friends
I sent u a friend request
why?
Its called "Selsesto" Because everyone mispronounces my name and its funny
Unfriend them. Iโll be your new friend.
I'll also be your new friend
why 485 is maximum?
hello
hi
@slim lintel because of my steam level
master race over here
The platform war rule applies here, too.
PS4 = XBOX ONE = PC
@naive brook calm down a bit man
lol
an interesting statement

very interesting wakama ;))
what leads you to think all these 3 platforms are absolutely equal?
All platforms have their pros and cons, but it's gaming itself that matters.
exactly
Equality โค
yes
ot
Thanks
whens E3 livestream
Tomorrow
you can check also on youtube/mixer/twitch
ok cant wait for mcc
The pc gaming show is on monday or tuesday i think
well hopefully it is better this year for you
I canโt wait for everything at the PC gaming show to be nothing but Epic Store exclusives
me neither
I'll watch it
but I have very low excpectations
The xbox conferance is the best PC has right now
I have plenty of schoolwork as well so I wonยดt even bother

idk if i can watch it or not
I know that AMD is on the 10th
not sure about the rest though
oof
I think Xbox might be tomorrow
nvm e3 is in LA

Do you have fortnite cause me and Cheese are gonna play
i have 40 cents on my steam wallet ๐ฆ
@full flint Behave
Hey Guys, any xbox games you hope will be playeble on the PC? what im hoping for is Fable 2 and "Metal Arms: Glitch in the System"
metal arms wasnt xbox exclusive.
thats true
is anyone actually keen for xbox games coming to steam or are you a bit worried about how its gonna turn out
did you guys hear about ryxen 3000
Yupyup. Exciting if it ends up performing to rumored spec.
yea
i hear... for middle PC it is cool, but top PC...
Depends.
Based on some tech sites it's easily outperforming the i9 9900k
even when that 9900k is overclocked.
what power pc do you have?
I want to say what are your components in your computer (sory for my Translator)
I have a couple of computers, but in my workstation I run a dual socket Xeon E3-1275 with 64gb of DDR4 and a Titan X SLI. I'm probably going to upgrade the GPU's soon though.
I can't remember the Memory's clock speed since It's been a while.
I believe it's 2300MHz
i have i7 6700k + 16 GB ram and 1,9 tb ROM + 120 ssd + GTX 1050 ti, that I want to upgrade to 1060 or 1070.
I just bought a 1070 the other day for this machine here. It had a 1060 that died from an arcing shot of electricity. Sad days
pcmr
non. Respect all who enjoys the games.

Yo does anyone wanna play Skribblio
wow people?
eyyyyyyyyy
noice
eww apex
Yes
Does anyone here know if AIO coolant can damage hardware?
My AIO pump burst in December
I cleaned it out as best I could. Switched to air cooling, but it's been crashing ever since
figured, but didn't know for sure
do you know why it is crashing?
Kernel Panics is usually the BSOD error
I reinstalled the OS, and it's running better.
Just crashed and rebooted while playing Sekiro
what are your specs?
i7-7700k @ 4.8GHz, 32 GB @ 3200 MHz, 1080 Ti OC card
running the GPU at standard clock
what cooler are you using?
Noctua NH15s
it isn't overheating
Was using Corsair H100, but it burst
not with that cooler
Checking temps it doesn't seem to over heat
Yeah. I wasn't able to keep it at 5.0GHz, but don't need it to
did you see where the liquid went?
All over the motherboard and PSU. Backplate of GPU, and case walls
Mostly on PSU
Corsair HX1000i PSU
do you have another system to test components on?
I do not, but I tested the GPU in my friends rig.
He is using AMD so couldn't test much else
was it alright?
Yes
I've been debating on the mobo for a while now
It throws 00 error when I turn it off, and turn it back on
takes a couple power cycles to get beyond 00 error
I was gonna wait till Intel 10th gen comes out (if it's 10nm die) to get a new mobo and cpu.
use the i7 for a test bench
intel 10nm is pretty worthless
the only reason the ice lake cpu beat ryzen mobile was the memory speed
I do want to get the Ryzen 3800X
I'm gonna get the 3900x
threadripper
I thought 900s were threadrippers
Hello I have a computer machine
๐
I do video production as well on my workstation
they have been changing it up recently
We like computer machines here
I use Resolve mostly
sometimes vegas if im using windows
Vegas ๐คข
God I've not had such an experience with any Media production software than when I've dealt with Vegas
It's alright when it works
which is rare
Resolve is where it is at
I mostly deal with Adobe Suite and Apple Suite
Resolve is very good for Color grading though if I dont have time to deal with SpeedGrade
adobe isn't for me
it's not for everyone, yeah.
the subscription based model is too much
yeah
resolve is either free or affordable
and has linux support
๐ง
but it also lacks a lot of input support
Like, I'm unable to use TrapCode Effects suite in it
which are very important in a lot of VFX
Worth noting, RenderMan is free for independent creators to use. If you didn't know.
what is renderman?
RenderMan is the Pixar software that they kept close to the chest until a few years ago
it's used in all disney productions for VFX including Star Wars and some Marvel Movies now
they have an NCR license available for it
oh yeah, it was used in BladeRunner 2049. I forgot about that
It looks pretty good
yo i need a freind tyo playh with on pc

how to download (hungry shark world PS4) free on microsoft store ?
ps4 games not good on the big good xbox
ooooo
have people realized the console wars are kind of over
I hope so
Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo get along fine now
Have Sony opened up cross play yet? I've been a bit out of the loop these last few months
yeah
you read about feeding frenzy ?
Ah, awesome stuff! Knew they'd have to come around what with Microsoft and Nintendo working together like that ๐
have they opened cross play for minecraft yet? i mostly play it on pc and sometimes on xbox, but one of my friends has a ps4 and i thought minecraft ps4 edition didnt have cross play
from my understanding it still uses legacy which is like different from the bedrock edition
I think so
Cool

Yeah other than fortnite
I love people who waste energy hating games instead of playing ones they enjoy, it clearly shows how much we should care about you :/ I for one may not care too much about fortnite or anthem but am I going to sit here complaining about them when there's other things I could be doing? no you idiot
I'm playing Minecraft right now ๐

i found the game pass listing on the website
I'm hoping that more support for keyboard and mouse is coming to xbox in the future
reminder that its up to the developer on whether they want kb & m support
i installed the beta app, it has most of the games on the game pass
just bought it
the download speed is really slow though
i figured it out, its tied to the windows store
the windows store always takes for ever to download anything
i did some messing around, i was able to bring it up to 20MB/s
kinda sucks that they're using the window store as a base
What games do microsoft own on pc?
the major xbox exclusives
i already bugged out my store, trying to download 2 games
great store microsoft
who plays battlefield bad company 2 ?
ุงูุณูุงู ุนูููู
@proven stone English only
@proven stone no self promotion
@woeful wagon that's why you don't install beta software
the windows store is in beta right?
the xbox app is a skin placed over the store pretty much
ive had slow download speeds with the windows store since i started using it
like a good 2 years ago
i normally get like half of my download speed
I usually get more speeds from it than anywhere else. Typically how signed stores go for me
I'll go from 40MB/s in browser to around 100-200MB/s in store
Doesn't matter if it's a skin. they might not have implemented the store code properly into the xbox beta app.
i cap out around 40MB/s, the windows store doesnt hit that
every store except the windows store hits that
all it does is tell the windows store to downlaod it, i can simulate it by going to the game and clicking install
it just moves all of the game pass games into one section
right now im downloading a game, its been around 2MB/s for the past 30 minutes
going between that and not downloading
im not sure how you're getting fast speeds with it
ill go from 350Mb/s from the speedtest to like 10-50Mb/s on the store
Also, I do hate to be that guy but I have to ask you to change your icon to something server-appropriate please, as that one connotates self-harm.
Have you accidentally limited bandwidth available to the Windows store?
Ty ^^
ive had the issue between multiple computers through out the years
one time i was downloading a game on my desktop and laptop at the same time, my desktop is wired while the laptop is wireless
my laptop was downloading at twice the speed
it kinda sucks because the game pass is a good deal, but its going to take a day per game to download
Is the windows store up to date also?
yup
it could be an issue with my isp
i had to port forward the xbox ports, i was losing connection on forza
pc master race
Keep any console wars talk out of here rat
is there any ports the microsoft store uses?
Hi
cyberpunk on steam
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091500/Cyberpunk_2077/ Here's the Steam Link for Wishlisting/Preordering
buying on gog
Did they put their page up already?
yes
Sweet!
I can't get the new xbox app. It seems like I need a beta version of windows
yup, me too
What was the name of that app they showed thats like clash
wasnt paying attention sorry
@deep depot Gears Pop!
thanks
well... I wait 11 February to realize Ori 2...
howdy
i have gamepass ult but i cant download any games to my pc on the list
and cant download xbox beta
you need to update windows first
i am using win update assistant will that do it
That will work.
ok thank you
Woooo PC
pay more
what would you guys prefer fro username? FyreTrix OR SympleTrix
VOTE
FryeTrix
for sure
non of above
are you running win10 version 1903 @shut cedar ?
yes i already found a fix thanks
ok
So depending on what you use, you can make that decision.
Party chat
ok
Although, you can set up a group chat and do voice that way. But I don't think it's the same as the cross-platform party chat that the old app does yet.
ok
when does the new one release
I try downloading it and it said like it wouldn't release yet
It's available now but I don't personally know exactly what you have to do to get it. Make sure you're on the latest Windows 10 and look online for directions, I guess?
Or maybe someone else who's done it can help you.
Can I get sent a link for it?
Search beta on the store and I think you can find it that way
Do you have the latest Windows update?
I cant even use the Microsoft Store
And the old app as broken for me
So I deleted it with PowerShell and cant install cuz of microsoft store
I can't use my xbox controller on fortnite
@daring niche I can help you fix it
nvm fixed it
hi
h
@full flint repair windows
Do I play games in the PC game pass with mouse and keyboard?
I'm sure they have multi-input support.
Ok
Why is there a new Xbox app for PC
They've split it into some new apps. Xbox companion app (For xbox live chat etc), and the xbox app containing the game pass games etc
Gamebar contains chat, as does the new xbox app
I want both
The new Xbox app is PC focused, whereas the old app is a companion app for the console.
Can someone DM me a link to all of the apps
I only have the old one
Iโd like the new ones
My PC has lots of space
check pinned message in #xbox-game-pass
Ok
There are 2 links
Do I click both
please read the details in the message.
One is for the windows update, one is for the xbox app.
Thanks @full flint
np
I have another question
Can I purchase individual games from the Xbox app
Yeah I believe so. Some you get discounted though if you own the game pass
I mainly just want forza horizon 4
The xbox app directly connects with the microsoft store, so any applicable game that is on the microsoft store will be able to be purchased.
So can I purchase it via the Xbox app
You can indeed.
Ok great thanks I love E3
Canโt wait for Fortnite announcements tomorrow
There is a store tab on the app
Great and are they games for PC
Yes. It's a PC dedicated app. Everything displayed in it are for PC
Ok
Now one final thing
Does this app support party voice chat cross platform
That is handled by Gamebar
So
But yes, the app also has support
Ok thanks
It will not be overlayed independently however, and will display in gamebar when the app is closed.
Because thatโs the main reason I have the Xbox app now
So should I delete the old one and just get the new one?
Because party chat is the only reason
that is up to you. There's a lot of things you cant do in Gamebar/Xbox app right now that can only be done in Companion App
Alright Iโll keep it
Such as handling Achievements and activity feed
but it's up to you
Also I noticed when I play Fortnite on PC it shows that on the companion app
Thatโs all I have to ask happy E3
Bye
How does achievements work with the game pass?
Achievements arent affected. You earn them as normal.
If you play the game, you can obtain achievements in it.
Ah sweet. Just upgraded to ultimate game pass. What about saves? Is it all cloud based, can i move my saves (such as forza horizon) over to the PC and continue there?
saves work the same as normal. nothing is different except the fact you can play games you dont actually own
sweet! Thanks @full flint

@pallid hemlock had a bit of searching to find the ping. Thanks for the answer. I will try it later.
will a RTX 2080 / i7-8700k setup keep up with project scarlett for atleast till 2022?
Yes i think so. My i7 6700K with a GTX 1060 6G from 2016 is still enough for Gaming
for 1080p and 1440p it will still be great and for 4k can still get 60fps easily if u mess with the quality in game but then again depends on if the game is actually optimized
yea so I'd be lucky to get 30fps in any ubisoft game XD
Oof
yo pc players โค
What's up?

hey guys
im having some trouble with my xbox game pass, I think it's because im not on the current windows build but im confused, do i need windows insider program to install microsoft store games?

yes
๐

well for the beta xbox app, you can still download the games in the pass
the windows store automatically downloaded something for once
the lego speed champions dlc is 5.3GB on pc
i
wait does slowmode really make servers less chaotic
Any opinions on The Messenger vs Katana Zero? They are looking pretty similar, wondering which one to get.
What xbox games support keyboard and mouse?
And why doesnt the whole console menu have a custom mouse so I wont be having to press arrow keys all the time?
It's still somewhat new to xbox

hey guys i keep getting this issue when starting up a game that I canโt sign into xbox live
k
not sure if i missed a step but Iโve gotten the app and my account does seem to have xbox live on it, but it still gives the same message
Task manager- services- Find xbox . start all
When I try and play games on my Surface Pro 5 it lags a bit I understand this computer is built for office but can run simple games. I was wondering if there is anyway to turn off unneeded background apps services and basically do stuff to boost FPS instead of buying a gaming rig to just play Portal 2 on high graphic or "Fortnite".
Don't surface run Intel Integrated?
graphics cards?
well, they arent discrete GPU
so you arent really going to be playing too many games on them
Core i7: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640```
is it possible to hook up a external graphics card?
If you have an eGPU adapter and a GPU to slot in it, yeah
but you arent running it at full resolution, are you?
I believe surface pro 5 have a display of what looks to be 2736 x 1824
you definitely should keep it around 720 or equivalent to aspect ratio
I don't run games at full resolution since that can cause even more unneeded lag
that will improve not only thermals, but performance. Also, don't use google chrome. Like, at all
If you're strapped for resources, chrome is definitely not going to help in that regard.
Im using opera
That's fine.
But realistically, you arent going to be getting much higher than 30fps on those on High
if that
would disabling indexed on the main disk help?
drop them to medium or low and they should run fine
it could, but not by much.
which model do you have?
surface?
yes.
pro 5
There are 3 different Surface Pro 5
oh
an m3, an i5, and an i7 model
is there a way to check in the Windows + r
It should display on system info
No, go to the about tab on "System" under settings/control panel
If you're on windows 10 is should be at the bottom of the list under the "system" tab
m3
I'm going to be truthful, you aren't going to be doing much on that.
or xCloud.
an i7 could have lessened the processing strain, but an M3 are very low-performance.
if I where to buy a surface I could I tell which version I was getting since when ordering one only lets you choose it's ram
how would I
Are you asking for a surface that lets you pick the model?
well like is it random for the one you get?
no. you purchase the one you choose. M3 is base model
and the cheapest.
Realistically if you ever had plans to play games, a surface is not where you'd want to look.
ok thank you for the help
the cost-performance ratio is not there.
The performance is also affected by the temperature. The Surface can get pretty hot when playing games. A small USB fan blowing on the back of the casing can actually help a little.
or a laptop cooler pad.
But this still wont be ideal, and can still end up with adverse effects on the system itself if you're playing games regularly.
why is there a channel for pc gaming
because PC gaming is a large population, and microsoft cares about its PC community
but e3 xb-
People can play where they want, we provide this avenue for them to discuss likeminded topic.
Xbox is also on Windows
Yeah my laptop cant run those games unfortunately lmao
Swapping out PSU the other day and snapped this
Sleep mode
I have asus with Windows 7
What gpu should I recommend?
depends on what games and what resolution you wanna play at
Ah ok
depends on your cpu too so you won't have bottlenecking issues



the one and only
when i play on my xbox i will be very honest and if you dont want to read this than dont || I think xbox is very poor when compared to a mid range pc, even low end as in gtx 780 low range, I think the pc is better just because its a lot cheaper to upgrade, and you get the freedom you cant get from an xbox, its cheaper in a lot of ways to from pay walls to games being cheaper because there are many different markets on pc for games, I also dont like how you cant change how your os looks, on pc you can change anything you would want to change how it looks.|| Honest thought on xbox
people don't buy consoles to replace PCs
they buy consoles to play on not a PC
sounds like PC is for you
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Then what's the 360's specs compared to the original, PowerPC?
Hi, primarily a PC Gamer here. I stress quality and performance. But this does not replace the fact that I can get an amazing 4K experience at 500 dollars for my TV, where I can relax on my couch. ๐
And that's not just Xbox either. PS4 as well.
also a pc...
i do that all the time with my laptop
wirelessly with a ps4 controller as well
hmmm, building a pc just for movies can be harder to do than just buying a console for it i think
i was going to drop around $400-$500 for a 4k gaming pc in the living, to go with my 4k tv
I have been a PlayStation user all my life. But i have always gravitated towards my friends house who had an xbox! Mainly because of halo...
like if you know some people who can hook you up with some parts than pc can be better
I like to use a monitor for playing on pc just because its a high refresh rate with g sync
I think it's important to remember that there are countless trade offs here
yeah its pretty good, but when friends come over for some cod we usaully use my tv, just because it s bigger
Blu-ray drive alone is like 100 bucks. Xbox is great bang for the buck, there's no denying that
Buy a console, it just works out of the box, ya know. Minimal setup. I have no doubt in my mind that you can build a 4K gaming experience for your living room. It's not the same experience at the end of the day. People will put in their time, effort, money, and other resources for what they want. Doesn't make other choices wrong. ๐
i work on a PC all day
i get home and just wanna turn on a box and pick up a controller
Simplicity is incredibly important
sure i guess
You will always have Pros and Cons though.
I like using a xbox for watching netflix or watching things in a higher res, sadly I dont have a 4k tv but its bigger than my monitor by a good amount
yeah im pretty sure it would be cheaper to get a dedicated blue ray drive instead of an internal one for your pc
im not sure on that though, havent looked at prices of them for years
i know i bought one back in 2011 for $60 though, i still have it
an internal one
for just a blue ray player, my family got a ps3 years ago just for watching movies because it was cheaper than regular blue ray players
oh
the software though, do not lose the disc
ok
if you lose the software, its useless for playing blue ray discs
oh lmao
damm 100$
I use my Xbox for blurays, it just works
its been awhile since i used a blue ray disc as well
I recently got some 4k ones on sale
On PC since some Update Dolby atmos has been wonky, and I can't be arsed to fix it ๐
its working fine for me
sometimes it disables itself though
its probably the may update
Idk I run atmos through my graphic card and it stopped working one day
im using my on board sound card
On board doesn't have the bandwidth for atmos for me
i haven tried atmos on my surround sound setup yet
I have not paid for atmos either. Do not even have surround sound
Atmos is free if you have an atmos setup
But only speakers right? I don't have one of those
yeah you need a speaker setup
yeah you might wanna change your name and switch to English
@sick field hi there can you please change your name as we request on #rules also English only text please.
๐
hi im new here
