Didn't know imgur was a problem. imgsafe seems to be a shitty website which doesn't let you delete your photos. Also reports of them swapping out your photos for something else.

MA SHA ALLAH congrats bro, your mini Itx setup looks awesome

& it's such a shame that Asus didn't give out a custom back-plate with Asus Strix Rx 470 variant.

& how much of a performance difference or gain have you noticed bro with Rx 470 (moving from Rx 280X)?

Yeah but getting $100 off on black Friday was worth it. Can't heat up more than 280X anyway.

Quite a big difference. Can run forza horizon 3 at medium very reliably at ~80 fps. 280X used to run that at like 40fps.

Assassin's Creed syndicate also runs way better, and 1GB extra VRAM means better textures. I'll post some benchmark comparisons if I find screenshots of the old benches.

Thanks man. I would've posted photos of the whole setup but that thing is a year old now :p

Thanks. It's Thermaltake Core V1 with Demciflex filters outside, they really keep the dust out so all I have to do is clean them.

Here's the full build: AfzalivE's Completed Build - Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core, Radeon R9 280X 3GB Dual-X, Core V1 Mini ITX Tower - PCPartPicker Canada

Did a 3dMark 11 comparison b/w Asus Strix ROG RX 470 4GB and Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X

Result

Found a good deal on PowerColor Red Dragon RX 480 4GB so bought that. Will compare and see which one to keep, mostly based on temperature.

Also looking to sell my Intel Pentium G3258 and Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X :D

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    It is indeed the worst generation by far.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
