I can guarantee that mostly any ps5 exclusive games coming out in 2023 will have top tier best graphics that can match a $4000 PC. And even if the graphics of such ps5 game was a tiny bit less than the PC, that small boost in graphics isn't worth an extra $3500 Why buy a corvette when a kia forte accelerates just as fast?

It makes me choose between "performance" and "fidelity" on the GTA Vice City remaster.

Has a hybrid mode to shut off dedicated GPU when not gaming so work battery life isnt terrible. Thermals are excellent. It's quiet and feels well built. First gaming laptop I thought was good enough for day to day work use that I was comfortable with buying. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. |

So probably that first. Then some Ashes of the Singularity, since thats a game that really makes use of CPU power. Then probably set up my HP reverb g2 vr headset that I havent touched since I beat HL Alyx. From there... probably just a lot of MW2 MP until stalker2 comes out.

I realize this is a "money is no object" kinda build, you're flexing, etc. But the i9 and 64GB RAM are way beyond anything you're going to need for gaming. Having money is great, wasting it is not as great. I'd be fine with 32 but there weren't really many choices in terms of what's in stock --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. |

A lot of times shipping companies don't know how to properly ship IT packages so things get dislodged. Double check the fans and make sure none of the cables or parts came loose. Yep.

Back when I got my 2070 Super prebuilt from Cyberpower they fucked up the build royally. Cooling was done horribly. Its from corsair. So they use their own case and aio cooler. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. |

So it needs a lot of power to get to those frames. And now it'll actually make sense to turn on rt.

This is my 4th gaming pc (5th if you count my legion laptop). It's the first prebuilt I've gotten though. My time is a lot more valuable now and the price was only $150 markup over cost of parts so between that and how hard it is to find parts in stock prebuilt just made more sense this time. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. |

| daftpunk_mk5 11/02/22 6:24:56 PM #47 | Paragon21XX posted... I looked at the photos on the website, and if they really are using the power cable with the 90 degree turn built-in, then there is pretty much zero risk of the power connector ever melting. Doubly so with Corsair themselves building the PC since you know their PSUs are quality. Yeah I figure since corsair makes the psu, they'd use a newer one that supports that vs the crap nvidia adapter. I was nervous before we knew what the issue is but now that it's identified I'm not worried. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. |
