CES Video Dump Day 2:

GreyFoxx · January 10, 2020, 2:33pm

This is the year i retire my 6500 build and get on the current gen of either Intel/AMD. Seriously looking at a Ryzen 3600 build.

Quick edit. I normally hit up https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ and if you feel frisky https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/ on used hardware. I have bought from hardwareswap a few times and haven’t let me down yet. Thou stay way buildapcsales becuase it gets risky with the wallet and next thing you know your in upgrade pc mode easy :). I plan to hit them up when tax time hits to build a new rig here soon.

Looking at the CES coverage I’m seriously considering getting the mini version of the O11 dynamic.

mikeohara · January 10, 2020, 4:29pm

upon first glance, it looks like it supports only mATX. If it supports ATX, I’d strongly consider moving from my P350X to it.

Hawkingbird · January 10, 2020, 4:34pm

According to videos it’s a modular case that supports ATX, mATX and ITX. I’ll definitely dump my current case for it.

mikeohara · January 10, 2020, 5:03pm

I really can’t decide between the O11 Mini and the new Lancool.

I’m having this strange issue:

I’ll start a game off Steam…and the screen will freeze.
I thought the game froze…but I can hear it still going.
It’s like every 4 seconds from loading a game.
It doesn’t happen with every game though…just most I’ve loaded.

I uninstalled/reinstalled the latest AMD drivers…and uninstalled/reinstalled the games/demos affected.
I’m still having this issue.

Did some cleaning out of some old stuff I had and came across an old Corsair Scimitar that I had held on to along with a couple ML120 Pro fans.

Almost immediately I found out why I put it away, I had a double-click issue with it. Probably gonna throw it along with my Rival 600 up on eBay as-is and put the proceeds towards a new mouse.

Darksakul · January 21, 2020, 2:44am

Careful I still had people ask for and gotten refunds from eBay with this. I would Disclose everything wrong in the seller page.

Half life series free to play until the Alyx game arrives…

CDB2 · January 21, 2020, 11:27pm

After the PC launches of RDR2 and Iceborne, I feel like my i5-65K and Radeon RX 480 aren’t cutting it!!

I’m looking to switch to AMD processor and maybe scoop up a new GPU?

Basically, I want to be ready to handle and run DOOM ETERNAL when it comes out!

Darksakul · January 21, 2020, 11:54pm

the 2016 Doom can run with very modest hardware. But you aren’t getting all those juicy details of the landscape and steady 60 fps with the min reqs

CDB2 · January 22, 2020, 1:21am

I can run 2016 with no issues, its the sequel coming out in 2 months that’s get me worried!!

Darksakul · January 22, 2020, 1:29am

To run Doom Eternal even on low graphics settings your PC will require at least a 2GB GeForce GTX 670 / Radeon HD 7870 with a Core i5-2400 3.1GHz or FX-8320 CPU. This will return an average of 30 frames per second. Minimum RAM requirements are 8 GB system memory.

You can run Doom Eternal

BRING ON MARCH!!!
