How the fuck am I supposed to know they're all not scams?
you aren't
if you buy them from a reputable website at least you can return it or something
but with something like ebay, they can send a cardboard cutout of the gpu and you can't do anything
it's rare but possible

In the case of ebay, its more likely the seller will get scammed for the gpu by a false customer claim lol

might be lacking on the graphical power side of things, as the minimum specs states: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.

DirectX: Version 11.
Network: Broadband Internet connection.

Basically@rugged dome, I have tried shitload of stuff, had constant BSOD at the start of rundown drop animation. Turned out it was driver issue of some sort with fTPM for Win11. I have reinstalled OS multiple, but times to no avail. Switched off fTPM also did not help.
My last try was to simply Install win 10, rolled back bio 3 versions, turned off fTPM, Cleared cmos, Inserted another gpu to see if it might be faulty GPU and suddenly it worked perfectly! I switched back to my main gpu and no more problems since then.
I did not even try to uninstall gpu drivers yet lol
Also I tested all components before I did all of that and none fail any tests so it must have been some driver issue.

you can most likely check your psu by looking at it in your case, usually there's a label or something that says the model of the psu

Uninstall coretemp and download hwinfo64. Open it and click sensors only.

I bought these SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headphones - expensive and did NOT sound good out of the box. So, I tweaked them to perfection: Here's how - https://www.reddit.com/r/steelseries/comments/s67ifx/arctis_pro_wireless_pc_optimize_audio_quality_100/
This should help your games sound better. I just wish you could tweak the mic a little better.

would recommend using EqualizerAPO with AutoEQs or Crinacle presets
will likely get more quality out of them
and if you want surround sound you can try using HeSuVi with hi-fi vb audio cable

So the monitor supplies power to the laptop via the thunderbolt?
placid sentinel
if your lappy has usb-power delivery capability, get a monitor that has usb-c usb-pd and some usb ports
connect the one usb-c cable to your lappy and boom, all your peripherals come to life and your lappy starts charging, most convenient

I like the sound of that

lenovo has a cheap 1440p does just that, might need a usb-hub tho, it has only 2 usb-a ports
agile kite
It's an Aorus 15p XD...

ofc if you're thinking 240hz or 144hz then do google a bit, worst case two cables, same setup..
.... and btw gaming lappies might need a lot more than the ~60w the usb-pd usually provide, 3 cables. ugh. 😄

Does it really matter what hdmi people use nown
technically yes, but only if you want to use some gimmicky stuff like freesync, gsync, 8k res, high refresh rate, etc.
in practice the difference is probably not that important

I really want to try out this game, but this is the only thing I can play it on. Just from looks, does it seem like it can run the game at an okay rate?
merry bay
just looks don't matter, it's what's under the hood that counts, and that we don't know
you can always buy it on steam to see how it runs, steam has a no questions asked refund policy under 2hrs playtime, within 14 days from purchase. plenty of time for a test run

I reckon you could get it to run but I'd think it would get rlly hot

So it's just weird as shit
bright shard
honestly, i overbuy on cpu rather than gpu
i had a 3770k with a 660ti
after like 6 years i upgraded to a handmedown 970
gpu can still hit 100% util so i dont really care that much.
nocturne condor
Even tho i don't even really know how to use the CPU settings and stuff ingame because everything is fucking confusing
But ye you need good CPU in order to help your graphics card with work loads
I've literally gone out of my way to play on a lower resolution because the game just uses to much power draw which Leeds to high heat and that equals PC shut downs randomly and more stress on the parts and my shit just has a shorter life span
vast harness
imo it is more important to have a good cpu

Ye it is

the actual slot

Anything can be replaced, but like.. anything directly attached to the motherboard that you can't easily unscrew, unsnap, is not really meant to come apart and be replaced. So if the actual slot is bad, then you're looking at sending to the mfg to get repaired (if possible) or new motherboard

can someone describe what the difference between these is? the I3 meets the min requirement for certain games, but the I5 doesn't, but why?
(also, is there a way to check what motherboard is compatible with what CPU?)
bright shard
Socket type, and the compatibility list for the mobo documentation on the manufacturer website
Sometimes you might need a bios update for full compat.
bright shard
can someone describe what the difference between these is? the I3 meets the min...
The minimum req question is a lot more complicated. But the i3 clk, cores, and manufactured date are all equivalent or better.
In terms of the actual performance difference, not nearly worth the upgrade from left to right

Doesn't loading take longer since you have to decompress the files when you play?

depends on CPU
a good one should be able to keep up with the read of the drive at the point where it would be arguably faster
