Re: PC Gaming Thread

Re: PC Gaming Thread

From what I can find, those aren't "official" AMD codes, but what manufacturers used to distinguish models, and for each manufacturer they may have different meanings. I think you'll just want to...

Re: PC Gaming Thread

The problem is that getting "the most" out of games is a constantly shifting target with PCs, because they're constantly developing to allow for higher performance using the latest hardware. The...

Re: PC Gaming Thread

Re: PC Gaming Thread

If you're rebooting the PC instead of power cycling the monitor to get it working again, it's likely the PC that's the problem, not the monitor.

One possible way to test is to swap monitors with...

Re: PC Gaming Thread

I've owned a Lenovo K450 refurb since 2014. I've upgraded the RAM, added an SSD, replaced the power supply, and swapped in an RTX 2060, and it's still going strong.

I've also been dealing with...

All of those Best Buy listings are for PCs which only have integrated graphics (built into the CPU), not a separate dedicated graphics card. Which, considering the games you want to play, is probably...

The 5600X is a 6 core/12 thread, while the 5800X is an 8 core/16 thread. Based on this comparison:

Re: PC Gaming Thread

I wouldn't say always, since you have to be price conscious and likely sourcing parts from multiple places to get the best deal for each. One could overpay by buying all the parts from one retailer...

Re: PC Gaming Thread

"Powerful enough" is a very relative term for PC gaming, and depends on what, specifically, you want to do.

PC games are designed to run across a range of CPU and GPU performance capabilities. In...

Re: PC Gaming Thread

It's interesting that they skipped Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. I'm guessing it's because it didn't have a DOS/Windows port. In fact, it looks like those three games are the only ones that had a PC...
