PC Gaming

Ohhhhh, that's why my PC is suddenly doing a couple of black flashes one after the other within a few minutes of being turned on! I was considering getting a new HDMI cable... What a weird thing to do, Nvidia.
 
Seems to be a common theme with Nvidia cards and the latest drivers.
Mine flashes all the time unless I set my 2nd monitor to be locked at 60Hz - Can't have both monitors running at 144hz.
As a mate was asking me about his freezes, using a 4060, what are the stable drivers you would recommend?!
I’m not into NV as much and send him a link to a Reddit discussion but I wouldn’t mind an option of yours, so I can forward that.
I advised him to look up discussions about stable drivers and to use DDU… but he’s not that tech savvy.

Rollback to a driver previous to the 5000 series launch.

These are from 5th December last year and the last ones I can find before the 5000 series release:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/237719/

Personally I have not updated the Nvidia drivers for a while and waiting for them to be properly fixed but if you aren't on the 5000 series then the drivers above are probably the best drivers.

Thanks for your response.
Let’s see if he is able to avoid freezes now.
 
Guys, do any of you use Nintendo Switch controllers to play PC games? My generic PC controller works fine but isn't the most comfortable, so I decided to try my Switch controller (using a software called Betterjoy), and it was working fine up until the latest Windows update (not detecting the Switch controller now). Wonder if any of you have a method you could share? Thanks in advance. :TU:
 
So what's the latest consensus on 64GB of RAM? Heavy video rendering or opening 4 chrome tabs simultaneously are not planned :D Still a waste of pennies?

And regarding 9950x3d vs 9800x3d ... is there any benefit of going for 9950x3d if it's going to be paired with 5070Ti GPU?

No benefits when you're just gaming. Safe the cash and go for the 9800x3D + 32 GB RAM.

For gaming, 32GB is plenty enough. Same for the 9800X3D. The 9950X3D is 1% faster in gaming.
 
Bit of a PC rookie here, but lately I've been considering getting one for PES2021/Football Life.
At first I thought about getting a laptop since I want to hook it up to my TV where I don't have a lot of space, but then I thought about getting a "mini PC" such as this one:
https://www.fcomputer.dk/computer/f...ows-11-pro-installeret-og-koereklar-k616gb1tb
(Sorry about linking to a Danish language site but the specs part of it should be understandable.)

Main specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7840H
GPU: AMD Radeon 780M
16GB DDR5
1TB SSD
Win 11 Pro

As far as I understand, it should be able to run PES2021/Football Life at least specs wise, but can anyone please tell me whether it would actually be a good idea to get such a PC for playing PES? There might be some other details than CPU, GPU, RAM and storage I'm oblivious to. Also, I think I read once that PES is not very suitable for a specific brand of CPU/GPU.

Any help and tips are welcome thanks!

Edit: the price is aprox. 450£ or 540€

Uugh, it´s 535 euro, Mate?! A bit pricey. You have only a onboard igpu which what I have read is good for some gaming in 1080 P. But for an gaming pc it would be too less for me. Did you checked a YT Video or a comparision or an performance test how well games runs with this mini pc? Idk what other Guys will say to your mini pc offer but to play games even you have less space on your room I would rather buy an used desktop PC. My own used PC which I bought for 450 Euros at ebay about 6 weeks ago runs more than PES 2021. I can play FC 25 with no stutters with high settings in 1440P.

EDIT: i found this YT test video where you can get an first impression how th games in general running on that IGPU.

Thank you for your reply! Maybe it is not such a good idea afterall; it is not branded as a gaming PC either. I'm a bit confused as well since the processor mentioned in the YT link has another end number and people in the comment section talking about a cooler for the CPU as there's no cooler mentioned in the store link.

I also thought about getting a Steam Deck, as other people here talked about using that, but it is even more pricey.

Think I'll probably just stick with my PS4 and option files for the imediate future😀

But thanks again!

Your idea is good, Mate! With a PC you are able to play the Game with all the great mods here from the community. But of course it´s up to you. I played football games also for a long time on Ps3 and Ps4. But if you played one time with mods you most likely forget your console.
but yeah, PC Gaming is a bit more expensive than a Ps4.
