    @MN5 I am still killing it on multiplayer but I absolutely suck at warzone. I have had a few lucky games, even winning a couple. But I usually die in the first 5min, go to the gulag win back in and then hide out until the end. The best I’ve done is 5 kills In warzone. My daughters boyfriend annihilates everyone. It’s great to watch and demotivating at the same time.

    @Machpants It looks pretty impressive! The QMS feature of HDMI 2.1 will be handy.

    @Tim I was online 1am this morning and managed to nab one. They've been in and out of stock on all NZ suppliers, overpriced as always with NZ Tax on top of RRP. Hopefully I've got one anyway, proof is if PBTech ship it next week!

    You doing a new build or just upgrading?

    good luck waiting - I'm on the lookout for a stockist too as my current rig is getting long in the tooth (i9 7920X, 64G DDR4,
    2 x GTX 1080 Ti)

    Just upgrading, I have a 7700k OCed to 5.1GHz, 16GB RAM, SSD so good enough for another few years. I generally miss a lot of CPU gens but every second or so GPU gen. Replacing 1080Ti

    Sweet picked up from Maunkau tonight!

    I have to remove one of the fans that run at the bottom of my case to fit it in, they're so fucking huge, I think. I've got a case which has a 90 rotation from normal.

    Like this

    But the card is 32cm long!

    Home VR fitness is becoming a thing. TOTF kills me, looking forward to the sequel which promises multiplayer too.

    That card is a beast. Finally had a chance to use it on a good monitor

    Far Cry 5 ultra settings at 4k was consistently getting ~100 frames (rare low of 84 and as high as 117). Dropping to 1440p and it was always above 170 and never got near 144

    Yeah I am playing CoD, even with my oldish 7700K, at 1440P well in the hundreds. That is rendering at 4k, too!

    bump

    is there another Video games thread? or just not talked about on here?

    not some big epic game but i have been having some fun in the switch online store

    just played "Unravel" and for AU$9 it was a lot of fun,

    downloaded another game the other night on 60% off ($8) so even if i only get a couple of hours fun out of it then all good

    @Kiwiwomble I think there's a thread called something like "Gaming / VR" - which kinda became the de-facto nerd-game thread.

    Machinarium - I think I got that as part of some Humble-Bundle some time ago - gave up on it a couple of times... finally "clocked" it during lockdown. With the aid of heaps of cheating.

    @Kruse @Machpants finished it, definitely some puzzles i needed assistance.

    one of the puzzles i had to look up, found several videos showing the solution....but none actually explained how to work it out other than trial and error, another couple required repeating the same action 3-5 times and then something would happen, wouldn't have worked that out as there didn't seem to be anything encouraging you to keep repeating it, i got to the Band without having to look anything up
