Don't leave his brother FreeCell out of this.

Everything is up to date and monitor sleep is turned off.

I'm starting to wonder if I give up on the 7700XT and go back to my 6600XT, it was sure as hell less troublesome.

Already troubleshooted the hell out of it to no avail. It is a ViewSonic Omni monitor.

I'm pretty sure it is.

However, when using a DP cable, my GPU disables itself if the computer is left unattended for 20ish minutes. Moving the mouse, using the keyboard, turning the monitor on and off, nothing is displayed once it shuts down even if I hear music/apps/games running.

Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solves that problem.

I'm gaming at QHD/120fps so a HDMI cable is plenty for the task.

Gosh, I hope so.

59,5M$ for all this mess, saying they failed to manage the app is the least insulting thing they could've said.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have done a better job.

It would surely give the company way more exposure than sticking to AMD only. Their entry level cards (Challenger series) do not feel entry level at all so they could compete with Zotac and Gigabyte for cheap, reliable gaming GPUs.

My two latest builds have been using ASRock's MoBos and GPUs and I have yet to encounter a single problem with them.

You're right. Perhaps I based my view on the gaming time I had daily before and after having kids.

I consider myself lucky to play 20-30mins a night and that is if the kids behave at bedtime, hence why I said casual. It's the kind of game that I will never progress in as it requires a lot of playtime.

I can't wait to just skip that game completely. As more stuff is revealed and as we approach the release date of Feb 16th, the more I believe the game will be a massive letdown.

In this current article is discussed the slow respawn rate of necessary items for in-game progression and people queuing to get them. REALLY rewarding for casual players (<30mins playtime per day).

worse OS

Not necessarily worse, it depends how you see it.

Windows lets me run my PC Gamepass for Xbox as well as Steam, retro console emulators, Python IDE etc, out of the box.

However, it doesn't let me suspend games and it sure is more taxing on the hardware to run.

As I'm not exclusively playing on Steam, the ROG is perfect for my needs.

Being a heavy user of the original Nintendo Gameboy and of Sega's Game Gear, I'm thrilled to see handhelds making a huge comeback. I own the ASUS ROG Ally and it's sooooo pleasant to use.

We can still shout it.

Gimme an R! Gimme an S! Gimme a Rock. And. Stone!

I'm not scared this card will run 1440p at all since my 6600 XT does it considerably well. Just don't expect to reach 120/144hz while maxing out the graphics on any recent big releases.

This gen's sweet spot for performance relative to cost is still the RX 7800 XT, unless the 7700 XT gets a massive price cut.
