5700 XT

Bladerunner takes place in the same universe as Soldier (1998)... FYI...

The noise shouldn't really be a problem if you can get ahold of acoustic foam. Make a small muffler for the exhaust, and muffle the interior of the case, and you're good. As for it overheating, that's because the default profile has the fan locked to 2100RPM, (max is 4700 or so) so with the muffling it should be able to do 2600 easy without much issue... (and that will easily cool it to safe temps) Also undervolting helps a lot. Since I've seen several reviews that actually test the fan noise, I can safely say it's NOT as bad as most reviewers make it out to be. If you're comfortable with a desk fan at low speeds anywhere in your room, the card shouldn't be an issue at all. 3rd Gen Ryzen is epic... The 9 is actually officially the best CPU on the planet right now. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

Well, considering I'm wanting to have high framerates at a lower price than $1000 as soon as possible, and because I actually have the money now, (got paid for housesitting for my sister) I have decided on a 5700 XT. Planning on getting it, and then at next paycheck getting the Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II, because the stock blower is definitely not going to be as good, and the aftermarket cooler is only $40. (about what would be tacked on from a partner manufacturer for their aftermarket stuff) This will effectively give me my first ever system that has a chance of being CPU-bound in a primarily GPU intensive game. (that will go away in ~6 months though, when I get a Ryzen 5 3600)

? I'm too tired for this shirt... ? So tired it hurts! ?

I remember that picture! I'm doing just fine thank you! (being the redshirt hasn't hurt me so far)

It might be trying, but it's failing.

Now that I can play movies at higher then 720p at full framerate, I find I'm running out of drive storage space much faster than before...

I'll have you know, that eye patch is only for show!

That AI is copywritten by Warner Bros.... You really think they would just let anyone use it?

Because copyright.

Trying to avoid a headache.

Problem is, the battery life degrades way too fast. You can't use the same $5000 battery for 20 years and expect to go more than a half a mile on a charge.

Wait, it isn't a GIF? Why is it moving then?

Space Rogue, Original War, & Survivalist.

Civ 5. Giving a go at playing a map until completion for the first time...

Sounds like you'd be better off playing in a VM...

EA can send as many C&D as they want, it's not illegal for them to keep on making these games function again.

Looks more like "stand behind barricade and shoot waves of zombies" than it does "walk around shooting and looting, despite zombies".

Not bad! The lines between the teeth seem just a little wider than reality, but you can clearly tell who it is.

I see that kind of stuff in single player games for getting you to spend in-game currency on things that actually hinder you...

Space Rogue. Similar to FTL, but with MUCH more content, no chase fleet, and a lot of bugs. (but at least they're really easy to bypass, just relaunch the game)

Well, it did show as locked when I first saw the topic, before anyone else commented...
