Exactly the same here, we were renting up until 2018 at 900$CAD/month. Our mortgage is 950$CAD/month and our old apartment is now 1200$CAD/month. All expenses included, it’s s more expensive to rent than to own.
First time buyers can’t hardly get a mortgage now unless you were stashing cash or staying at your parents’ for a while.
Not surprised in the slightest.
Everything that isn’t in line with Putin’s point of view is at risk of being classified as terrorist or extremist, as simple as that.
French, old millenial. Plenty of Jean-“X”. What I mean is :
Jean-François Jean-Michel Jean-Luc Jean-Mathieu Jean-Marc …
It’s never too late to learn a language. However, French is one hell of a step coming from English.
French is my main language and even if I’ve been speaking it for close to 40 years now, I still learn language exceptions and rules today.
Still, I’d give it a go if I were you, learning something new is always fun. Enjoy!
Those two issues are normal in the gaming laptop world.
My Zephyrus G14 reaches 80°C on both the GPU and CPU, they’re not made to be running at ice-cold temperatures. I got it in late 2021 and it still runs like it’s brand new, even with high temps in AAA games.
Gaming laptop are made to be used while plugged in, on the move. You CAN play games on the battery but it’s perfectly normal that it drains faster than a soda bottle found by a toddler. If you use it on the battery to do light work (database, IDE, YT, Facebook etc.), there are battery modes that will disable the GPU and use the integrated graphics. I get up to 8 hours from light tasking on mine.
Enjoy your new acquisition!
First, you want to play on high/60fps but at what resolution? Paying over 1700$CAD for a RTX4090 GPU seems overkill while a RX6800 or a RX7700/7800 would let you play at 1080p/1440p at high settings at a fraction of the price.
SSD is fine.
PSU could be reduced to 850W.
64GB RAM is overkill for gaming right now but potentially useful in the upcoming years.
Bottom line, you could save here and there and still have a capable AM5 machine.
If you want value for your buck, build yourself an AM4 machine. Yes, AM5 is out now but your rig could still last you many many years with the right AM4 components.
It is. However, if you can grab it through Gamepass Ultimate, go for it. You could buy a couple months worth of subscription and cancel it once you’re done with the game. It would be cheaper than buying it upfront.
Oh don’t misunderstand me, I know it’s meaningless.
I was just wondering why some people are stuffing up their numbers and calling out other gamers for having less expertise than them based on playtime.
Thanks for your answer!
He’s a doctor in an ICU unit. Our job just doesn’t let us play at work (and it’s a good thing).
Thanks for your answer!
I like it the way it is, even if the number of weekly/monthly posts has drastically dropped recently.
However, it is not happening only on PC Gaming; most redditors who left Reddit following the 3rd party apps closure backlash are going back there anyway. My province’s Lemmy community (New-Brunswick) hasn’t seen a new post/thread in the last fifty-ish days.
I know that I should do more to keep the communities I participate in alive but I’m still getting used to Lemmy/Jerboa.
Bottom line, PC Gaming is doing alright. Thanks for your work!
Germany’s Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, had a jogging incident and is wearing an eye patch to cover the bruises. The picture just screams “use me for good memes”.
About Pokemon, there’s a studio (Crema) who made a Pokemon-like game called Temtem. Different mechanics (stamina instead of PP, 2vs2 instead of 1vs1 etc). I’m in my second playthrough and I can guarantee there are going to be plenty more. I’d check that out.
Ray tracing enabled.
Good, let it rot at the bottom.
If only shareholders could see what is happening and change their mind on what is a good, appealing game (à la BG3).
I’ll keep dreaming.
I read the article more as; AMD is the one to currently offer sub-300$ (CAD) gaming-capable GPUs as opposed to the prices of the RTX 3060 and upwards. Hence the “Watch out AMD” as they could lose the only spot they have a grip on right now, low-to-mid level gaming-only GPUs.
I believe they know the market share AMD has is nowhere close to what Nvidia has.
I do too.
Brand new AM5 low-to-mid range complete gaming build for under 700$? Count me in.
I do run 1440p/120Hz on most of my games and I don’t even have the 6650XT (I own an ASRock PG 6600XT).
It would be more than enough for most titles in medium-to-high settings at 1440p/120Hz. Some recent games (yes, you, Diablo 4) will max out the 8GB vRAM so you’ll have to tinker with settings until you hit a sweetspot but it manages 1440p.
Edit; as I wrote the reply, the card price increased to 400 CAD. Keep looking for deals, add them to your saved/watch list and order then.
GPUs tend to be cheaper/more affordable on AMD’s side. My local PC shop had decent deals on the RX6600XT and RX6750XT lately. For PC gaming only, they do the job.
If you don’t mind switching from Nvidia to AMD, I’d check them.
Apparently people didn’t get the notice. Mortgage interest rates are still >5% for anyone renewing now. Three new houses are being built right now in the street behind mine.
Weird how our neighbourhood didn’t see any new buildings from 2016-2022 but now it rains, it pours.
