    Question weird "effect" on Cyberpunk's benchmark frame counter

    After further testing, yes, the mod DOES have an effect on the benchmark FPS counter, and other ingame fonts (as in the elevators). But I only found out later: one MUST turn this accessibility option ON: Without the mod, this will only work for the fonts present in the HUD, but not ingame...

    Question weird "effect" on Cyberpunk's benchmark frame counter

    Hey, thanks for the quick reply mate... I even tried a mod to address it (https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/6632), but it has no effect on the frame counter... Guess I can live with it :p Thanks again!

    Question weird "effect" on Cyberpunk's benchmark frame counter

    I mean, what the hell causes this "ghost" effect, like going up and to the left...? I don't think I've ever noticed this before ... I have fiddled with several graphics settings, but no dice. Not that it's a big deal, but is this normal?

    Question HDMI to TV audio output and USB sound card questions

    So my PC audio setup is pretty "crude", I have a desktop PC plugged (through an HDMI cable) into a wall mounted TV (a 4K Sony Bravia). I was playing some of this newer games, and I noticed when I turned the game "character's" left to the (ingame) sound source, the sound came muffled from the...

    Question cases that can fit a certain GPU, plus...

    Part picker doesn't work. I mean, it just lists all available cases, it doesn't list the ones that will fit my GPU or the Blu-Ray drive. Besides, where I live Focus G or even Fractal are unavailable brands. I'd have to pick either Corsair or Cooler Master. Edit: Also, the price of an external...

    Question cases that can fit a certain GPU, plus...

    Can someone please help me out? I mean, besides the 4090, it mostly needs to fit an ASrock B650M PG Riptide, a Ryzen 7700, and the Blu-Ray drive (wouldn't mind also a fit for an IDE backup drive, but then I guess I'm asking for too much?) I was kinda eyeballing the Corsair 4000D Airflow, but...

    Question cases that can fit a certain GPU, plus...

    yeah, it seems the POP XL Air can fit one 5.25" drive bay inside... But I don't have the slightest idea on how to work with a blu-ray drive inside a case... I mean, where will the tray slide to? It has to slide out, correct? Also, don't seem to have fractal in my country of residence... It...

    Question cases that can fit a certain GPU, plus...

    Well, I've been having a hard time finding a case that can fit a Zotac 4090 Trinity OC, mostly because most of these new cases have no more slots for Blu-Ray / DVD (5.25 bay) drives (that is the "plus" mentioned in the thread title)... Used that Corsair PC Builder section of their website, but...

    Question yet another NVMe M.2 SSD's RAID 0 query...

    So I'm about to get a 2TB Kingston Fury Renegade NVMe M.2 HD that advertises as having 7300 MB/s Read and 7000 Mb/s Write speeds... Since they're on sale, I was thinking about getting a couple, and setting up a RAID 0 array on a ASRock B650M PG Riptide motherboard (all new components). Be...

    Question New graphics card (+possibly new rig) - for gaming, mostly - question

    Not the case, I can assure you. I've used both fan cooled and water cooled in the same room and the difference is absurd. I used the same video card with both cooling systems, first fan based (obviously), then custom watercooled (and the radiator wasn't outside the window). The fan GPU would hit...

    Question New graphics card (+possibly new rig) - for gaming, mostly - question

    You are correct, my bad. Maximus Hero (ROG) = ASUS. I'd definitely want to water cool the GPU, since as I said, summers are unforgiving here, and I have no air-conditioning in the room where my computer is installed. So anything around 70ºC already heats up the whole environment. About the CPU...

    Question New graphics card (+possibly new rig) - for gaming, mostly - question

    Very interesting. I had no idea AMD had better cooling and used less power... So does that mean I don't have to ("manually", as in, buy one) waterblock the CPU, if it's an AMD (since it cools better), even in the tropics? That would be nice, since I'd be planning on getting the GPU (being the...

    Question New graphics card (+possibly new rig) - for gaming, mostly - question

    So the "consensus" is that an AMD processor is better for gaming than an intel? Interesting... Will and AMD processor work better with an AMD gaming motherboard? Which one you guys suggest?
