Unless you saved for later you should be okay! Paypal just authorises the payment anyway, they pay the merchant you pay them. If it was a paypal.me link it shouldn't show any personal details unless you paid with a business paypal.

Revoker88 · 20-12-2019 03:08AM

Pretty sure i remember having to change password with them before alright.

Nearly positive i did donate via paypal so i should be ok then!

What's AMD's equivalent to Intel HD Graphics. The correct name that is? Both integrated but what do AMD brand it as.

Revoker88 · 24-12-2019 01:01PM

Most desktop AMD processors dont have integrated graphics.

It would be their APU line that would have graphics as well as CPU on the one chip

Happy Xmas losers! :pac:

So it started well. Misses yesterday lost my present... 200eu Steam vouchers, but with Xmas magic she found them this morning lol.

So I am like a fat kid in candy shop.

Got myself already:
Rimworld
Surviving Mars with all Dlcs.
Oxegen not Included
Crossout Corrida pack

Still have 120 quid to burn.

Most likely will get:
Frostpunk
Stellaris Dlcs
Some Path of exile pack

Would like Tropico 6. Really love the series since 3.

Have been away from pc gaming for long time so nice to get back to it. Got my Razer Mamba mouse too, but haven't tried it yet.

So anyone else got PC related Santa?

dreamers75 · 25-12-2019 08:59PM

New chair and 32ggb faster ddr4

mossym · 25-12-2019 09:42PM

New PSU was my Xmas gift to myself, so much quieter.

My good wife got me a noblechair hero ,I picked it but she got it for me, replaces an Ikea office chair so much much nicer.

And my kids got me really good coffee which not obviously pc related but is a constant part of my gaming!!

Just searching for a new monitor...

Any 4k (32") monitors with a digital optical output. TV's most likely have an optical out but none with 4k in 32". I can get around not having netflix on the monitor with a fire stick or more probable sky box (with the 2 available hdmi) could also get around the 2 hdmi with hdmi splitters.

It's the noise floor of a headphone jack I can't tolerate which is more noticeable when listening on headphones on low volume, optical out to DAC to analogue gets around this.

Going bigger than 32" is not really an option.

Well Funcom did a rude thing and deactivated my Anarchy Online account simply because I didn't log in for 15 years.

Thats great, how long before you pack it all in and decide to sell and go back to console again? :pac:

@ Dark Knight thats ok for 1080p gaming.

Should be grand, if possible go for a 3600 and 16gb ram if funds allow it at some point

I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card. Have an nvidia gtx 970 that's beginning to show its age. Any recommendations for a somewhat budget upgrade? I'm looking to go for the latest and greatest. There's so many cards out there that it's slightly overwhelming.

15-01-2020 05:35PM

A couple of hundred quid I guess. I'm looking at the 1070 right now. There are so many different versions.

I never sell my stuff, I think you mistaken me for someone else!

I always buy everything that is out that gen ( eventually ) and then just play "The flavour of the month/year". When you got all the stuff, you just play what tickles your fancy. Never was "one gaming system" person.
Unfortunately for PS4, it was the biggest loser in the last few years. In fact it's not even connected anymore. Switch is still by my bed side, even if it wasn't touched in a long time.
Still planning getting PS5, Xbox series X and whatever Nintendo will do. Got a nice laptop and maybe next year will build new PC for my nerd cave as poor 2500k is starting to show it's age.

Right now PC has games I crave for so laptop is on, Xbox taking a break. We will talk in few months which gaming device I dust off next.

You try the Mamba yet, ShadowHearth?

Spear · 17-01-2020 06:37PM

So Kingpin is getting a remaster, and I've no idea why:

Because it's not your brains the shambling corpses of what remains of 3D Realms and Interplay want, it's your money.

Yup, using it now since I opened it up on Xmas. Completely fell in love with it. It's perfect. Feels great in hand and got used to accuracy and feel of it very fast.
Was worried about the charge on it. As I did not knew what to expect. But shockingly it stays charged for long time. Just once a week hook it up while playing, then use it again all week.
It actually made me realize how old is my DeathAdder on PC downstairs. It's 3.5G one, which came out in 2009.... And they say Razer products don't last. :pac: thing is after using Mamba it shows that it's old mouse now, might get New version of DeathAdder at some point for PC.

Dcully · 18-01-2020 10:15AM

@ ShadowHearth yes my bad its someone else sorry

GTX 1660 Super performs same as the nearly 4-years old GTX 1070.

Unless you can find the 1070 for under €220, don't bother.

Skerries · 18-01-2020 08:25PM

thats been in closed Alpha since 2016 so there will be a lot of pros on that when it is released

Mr Crispy · 18-01-2020 09:27PM

Want to find a new one meself. R6 Siege Quarantine is the one I'm most drawn to. Longer term, Back 4 Blood.

TitianGerm · 18-01-2020 09:29PM

I was going to pick up COD because I'd like something different than Overwatch. Haven't played one in years though but I think I can play with my friends on Xbox if I use a controller when I'm on PC?

You can play with them even if you use kbm. You don't have to restrict yourself to a controller :eek:

You both just need to have crossplay enabled.
