News/Article I've found DLSS 5 can slash frame rates by up to 73% on an RTX 5080 gaming PC in NBA 2K27, and I'm wondering what kind of mega-rig would justify the performance hit

Discussion I see a lot of ultra realism showcases for Cyberpunk but NOT A SINGLE playthrough exists on internet with these graphics, why?
It's very strange that these "ultra realism" people never actually plays the game other than showing the graphics. I've seen nobody who actually played the story with these mods. I would expect at least one person who would do a playthrough with these graphics but no. Do people who download these mods only brag about how cool it looks then close the game without exception?

Meme/Macro The Objectively Correct Guide to Enhancing Your Gaming Experience
I was reading a discussion about how much better The Witcher 3 is with a mouse and keyboard. I actually prefer it this way. It made me realize how much people are missing out on when they do not use the correct accessories for gaming.
So here are some objectively correct control schemes:
When playing Time Crisis on the PS1, the DualShock 1’s D pad does the trick, but without a Dance Dance Revolution dance pad, people will assume you are just a casual gamer.
When playing Bloodborne, you should use a HOTAS setup.
When playing a racing game, it is easy. Just use the left and right mouse buttons for acceleration and braking, and the mouse for steering.
When playing a VR game, rotate the image on your monitor by 90° or 270° so that you can experience it sideways.
When playing It Takes Two solo, use one controller in each hand.
If you are into League of Legends, play with a Power Glove while watching the match on someone else’s stream.
And those are just a few examples. Feel free to share more objectively correct ideas for anyone who wants an extra challenge and wants to feel like a true gamer.

Story I thought no one is dumb enough to do something like this ..
I bought scrap pc for 37k yen with I7-9700k / rtx2070 from Auction 2 days ago with an Issue of pc turning on with no display on the monitor.
I thought It'll be an easy fix,
Cleared cmos - Nope
Changed Ram - Nope
Changed Gpu - Nope
oh then it might be a cpu problem,
so I went to reseat the cpu when I noticed that the cpu is upside down.
I had to pry the fking cpu to even get it off the socket !
The bottom right (Top left on the pic) of the cpu is bent because it was forced into the socket.
anyways I just couldn't beleive anyone is just this dumb lol

Build/Battlestation After years of dreaming about it, I finally have a PC!
For the past 5 years I was planning to finally buy a PC and ditch gaming on my old laptop, constantly reading forums and keeping up with component prices, but life always got in the way. This was so important and so sacred to me I still can’t really believe it. Bought a prebuilt because where I live getting individual parts is much more expensive.

Question How often do you shut off your pc?
I see that a lot of people just leave their computer running 24/7 and only turn off their monitors, but i just shut my pc off whenever i go away from the desk.
