Yes to both, and the NBN is irrelevant in that case. There will be latency and YMMV. You have a harder time with the controller/s when…

I just got the Lexar NM790 for about $345 from PCCG shipped. No DRam but performance is solid.…

Thanks. I vaguely recall hearing that around release in the reviews. Might grab it for a couple dollars.

Are any of the single player campaigns in these decent??

Not particularly

OK I can confirm the GTA IV does not need the Rockstar Launcher as I just purchased it to test. Also according to PCGamingWiki RDR2…

Yes fair enough. I can appreciate it, I just don't enjoy it. It's why I stopped playing traditional RTS games years ago also (and…

That's my sentiment with a lot of Rockstar games as they prioritise 'experience' over fluidity. 'Story dynamics' over gameplay. Kind of…

I had Heroic for a while and thought it was pretty shit to be honest - had to keep signing in to everything etc. Have since moved to…

If you buy these on steam - do you have to run them through the rockstar launcher? Are they easy to run on Steamdeck? I have them on EPIC…

Shipping time killing this for me as I want to build my new PC before the end of Jan :( great price however!

X3D slightly edges out the 9700x for some games. Pretty neck and neck otherwise. TDP is much lower on the 9700x so will run cooler and use…

Not really. They're cheap for a reason. For a couple of bucks take a pick of what you like. Doom VFR is bad. I picked up VR Skater, Hello…

Tea for God is the game worth getting in this bundle. Very cool how it uses non-euclidean spaces to move around endlessly in your limited…

Nada, however it's still part of my 'total' cashback amount pending.

Got the Cassia

The deal has expired but your B650 supports the following (from here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-AORUS-ELITE-AX-V2/sp#sp )…

b650**E** and x670**E** E for extreme meaning PCIe 5.0 for GPU slot. It's worth double checking which boards can both do 5.0 gpu as well as…

If you think PCIe 5.0 is worth it for you and the I/O is preferable on the MSI one, sure. They look very, very similar apart from the PCie…

Should be fine. There's no evidence whether a 5090 (+) will clog the PCIE 5.0 lane, but it's pretty unlikely.

X670e is more advanced, so take that as you will. Usually means better i/o and potentially VRM components. A while back the price…

To be fair, unfortunately most PC parts retailers have and always will be like this. RMAing things is a nightmare full stop. In the…

I opted for this with a cheap second item bringing it down to about $360.…

Ha. Whoosh. I'd say ASRock are no longer best - frankly it depends on the chipset. It's no longer that simple. Each brand has a higher and…

worst to best?

Should do - but Q-Flash is there if need be...?

Fair call for calling out my error. Was thinking it was like the old SB1394 port that could have a front attachment. Ooops.

Current best price on Staticice is $499 but out of stock or $539:…
