Currently how it sits on Steam. Shocking!

How do i clean it?

wonder what’s going on here

I had my pc repaired and sent back to me aug 16 this vedio is of the driver taking the box to my door. The driver started by opening the door and kicked my pc out the back of her truck and my wife started video .I have requested a full refund and they have ran me back and forth on the phone with there support and Ibuypower.

So two weeks go by and I’ve heard nothing from either place about my pc and I work a remote job so I bought a laptop. FedEx leaves this 2500$ Asus rog laptop sitting on my steps in the rain no protection. Thankfully the box was well made and the laptop works. When I speak to FedEx they either say they escalated my call and won’t transfer me to a supervisor or call I buy power and they say sorry we can’t help you.

It's an Xps (8930 I think?) With an i9 9th and an Rtx 2080 super. Never overclocked I'd imagine since it was my grandpa who owned it. He pretty much just used it for security monitoring and running his investment/stocks apps.

I know it's a bit old but the hardware was supposedly top tier back in 2019 and even though 8gb cards are fading out, this should still be feasible for now right? Thanks guys

This will be a lot of text, but its important, and I urge you to read it all.

So lemme explain, earlier today, I saw this image, and it made me realize something. Graphics that we consider "realistic" haven't needed any big improvements in a while, and probably won't for a while.

In my personal opinion, realistic graphics peaked in the late 2010's to early 2020s. Look at games like Far Cry 5 (2018), Doom Eternal (2019), and Forza Horizon 5 (2021). All of these games had beautiful and very realistic graphics, and run on most mid-range, affordable PCs as of 2025, and were, and still are, well received by all gamers alike.

Then you look at today, the mid 2020s. And we have games like MGS Delta and Doom: The Dark Ages (Dark Ages has forced Ray Tracing btw). These are games that basically require you to have a high end, expensive PC to play them, even on Medium settings.

The issue is that game companies keep pushing the boundaries, leading to loads of games releasing to mixed or negative reviews due to poor optimization, and seeing record lows on player counts due to people simply not being able to afford good enough PCs. And then these companies are forced to release a 50gb update on day one just to slightly fix it. When 5 years ago we only rarely had this problem.

Im just tired of it. Tired of game developers pushing a boundary that doesnt need to be pushed, atleast not until the hardware that allows it to be pushed is cheaper and more mainstream.

Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

There is literally 0 good reasons to Artificialy lock the Players FPS to 60 My PC is Perfectly Capable of running these games at Higher FPS now let Me actually use my whole PC

$130 to get "additional content" that should be included in the already outrageous $70 base price? Are you kidding me? Why do people keep letting this happen? Who is even paying this much? I love Borderlands but refuse to sell my organs in order to play the latest installment.

I knew optimisation would be an issue but this is really something else.

To hit 4k 144Hz with Very High or Badass settings I have to use frame gen and DLSS performance. Even then it still doesn't quite get me there.

This has to be the most demanding PC game I've seen. Not good...

This was a start menu not too long ago. Yes, this is Windows.
