Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Oh, ok.. that's a pretty decent cpu.

I had a similarly spec'd laptop a few years back. Think it had an intel 8th gen i5 and a GTX 1060. Depending on what trade offs you're willing to make settings wise, that thing should be serviceable for the vast majority of games.

How does it handle something like the Spiderman remaster?

Plays it really well as far as I’m concerned lol

Been playing MLB The Show also

Very handy and nice system

Which version of The Show are you playing on Steam Deck? Unfortunately, none were for the PC, so I am presuming emulation, but I am having problems getting anything newer than 10 running on SD.

I was streaming using Game Pass.

Darn you Acer...They've got a Nitro 5 w/ the 3060 Mobile for the same thing I paid for this 1650 Mobile 2 years ago. I'm so tempted to buy it. Main benefit would be much better performance with RPCS3. MUCH better I'm sure. LOL

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Putting this in both the steam PC and Build a PC threads hoping someone here can help me with an issue I am having.

I have a three monitor setup. The middle monitor is my main monitor on my PC. It is connected via DisplayPort. That same monitor also connects to my Xbox Series X via HDMI. Often, but not every time, when I play on my Xbox, Windows will decide that my main monitor is no longer active and will switch from a 3-screen setup to a 2-screen setup making the monitor on my right the main display now.

Is there a setting that can stop this from happening? My monitor has Deep Sleep options for both inputs. It's disabled on both. Did not fix the issue. I have my displays set to never go to sleep in Windows. That did not fix the issue. What's strange to me is this doesn't happen every single time I am playing my Xbox. One night I'll play 3 games of Madden over the course of 2 hours and Windows never switches up the displays. Then the next night I'll be on the Xbox for 5 minutes and Windows switches to a 2-screen setup.

There has to be some setting I can toggle to prevent this from happening, no?

Anyone have a new gaming laptop they are liking? Thinking of getting the latest Helios 300 with a 3070ti

I actually just bought the Lenovo Legion 7. It has 32GB RAM and a Radeon RX 6850M. The RAM was my main thing that I wasn't willing to budge on, as I use it more for video and graphic design than gaming anyway. It has managed to run everything I have thrown at it with no issues at all. I'm somewhat clueless when it comes to dealing with hardware, having only upgraded my own RAM previously on an HP gaming laptop that I upgraded to 32GB to be able to handle editing workloads, so I just went with what Lenovo was offering because everything they had listed matched what I was wanting or wishing for in the moment.

I was looking at that too. How is gaming on it btw? I believe it cost more than the Helios so I'm leaning towards that but I've been watching revies where botht he Legion and Helios are the S tier of gaming laptops the last year.

It has handled everything I've thrown at it with ease. I don't really play games on it by itself, as I prefer to have it hooked to the display I bought with it, which is a 34" UQHD Samsung. It's out of this world compared to my old setup.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Been gaming on my new PC the last couple months and it is 10x better than console, so glad I made the jump. 3080ti/5900x combo that I finally finished, with the Alienware QD-OLED monitor.

Im looking for another monitor or two though for when I play F1 and eventually get into iRacing... Should I get a 49" ultrawide and move the Alienware to right above it, or get two 27" monitors and put them to either side of the Alienware?

I haven’t experienced a 49 ultra wide yet but have experienced three monitors playing racing games and it was amazing for the time I had on it. It was seemless and rarely noticed the space between monitors. There’s a ton of videos going over this subject that you can look up too to see the difference

I love my 49", but my new primary monitor is the new LG 45" OLED.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

You guys and your gigantic monitors. I just bought a 32 inch widescreen ASUS that's also curved and it came in last night and I am already in love. First, this thing is huge compared to my two 27 inch monitors. I didn't expect such a size difference. Second, the curve to the monitor feels so natural for my peripheral vision.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

What controllers are you guys using? I been going strong with my ps4 Scuf for a couple years surprisingly but the stick drift is starting to get bad now.

I decided to try out the Razer Wolverine V2 as my main PC controller. I also got a Flydigi Apex 3 to use for tablets/phone mainly but it'll be a good travel controller for whatever I bring with me.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Some form of xbox controller for several years. Elite v1 and now using the newer 2-tone one.
