Why are we advised to enable V-Sync and FPS limit in the GPU control panel alongside G-Sync and in-game Reflex if the FPS is already being limited by Reflex? I have always enabled Reflex in-game, FPS limit/V-Sync/G-Sync in the GPU control panel and Variable Refresh Rate in Windows.

Recently after installing new drivers I forgot to enable V-Sync and noticed I was still under the G-Sync threshold (thanks to Reflex, which I just found out) and since my monitor is Adaptive Sync technology, I wasn’t getting any tearing.

TLDR: if Reflex limits FPS and G-Sync/VRR/Adaptive Sync stops screen tearing, what is the benefit to enabling V-Sync in this scenario?

Hi,

This is my first time using the get paid early feature. My salary is available to withdraw today at 4pm, it’s incorrectly displaying as an incoming amount from my council tax. Rather than saying my employer it’s saying my local city council? Will this fix itself on my transaction list as it looks like I’ve been paid money by my council and not my employer….

Not judging folks who have low end hardware but I feel like anti aliasing is such an underrated feature in this game since prob 50% of players seem to have this turned off in their screenshots (along with advanced rendering 🤢) it’s rough out there!

I need somewhere to vent about this because I genuinely don’t know where else to put it. I’m finding the constant animal abuse stories in the news/social media really difficult to cope with. I know horrible things have always happened, but lately it feels like I’m seeing story after story and it’s genuinely affecting my mental health. I get incredibly angry and upset knowing innocent animals can be treated this way. Does anyone else find themselves feeling overwhelmed by this? How do you manage to care about animal welfare without constantly exposing yourself to upsetting stories?

Hi, my 8-year-old cat had his front leg amputated and is now approaching two months post-surgery.

I’m concerned that he may still be experiencing pain or discomfort, and possibly struggling with anxiety or depression since the surgery.

Symptoms/changes I’ve noticed:

• Still seems uncomfortable and not himself
• Frequently growls to himself, even when nobody is touching him
• Has become much less active and social since the surgery, I often find that he spends most of his day sleeping or relaxing
• Sometimes growls or becomes agitated when approached or stroked
• Still eats and sleeps, but doesn’t seem as settled or comfortable as before
• He was on meloxicam for several months before the amputation, but it didn’t seem to make much difference
• The vet has now asked us to trial meloxicam again for 10 days
• He has had it for the last 2 days, but I’m still seeing the same behaviour
• Gabapentin has previously been discussed if meloxicam isn’t effective, but the vet is reluctant due to the side effects

In addition to trialing the meloxicam for the last 2 days, I’ve also put him on some joint supplements. Since then, he’s started to use his scratching post. I’m concerned about him taking the meloxicam for longer than necessary, especially if it isn’t helping.

We also have a small dog at home and I know for sure he feels less confident/more vulnerable around her. I don’t know how much of his symptoms are related to that. We keep them apart as much as we can, she is consistently being trained to give him plenty of space.

Some good observations I’ve noticed are his remarkable adaptability to three legs, he’s very quick on them getting up and down the stairs! He eats well too, so he’s always got a big appetite. He still enjoys cuddles and especially loves scratches under his chin, but warns us to stop more often now.

I’m wondering whether this could be nerve pain/phantom limb pain, or whether there could be another underlying cause. I’m taking him to be examined again because I don’t think he’s comfortable, and I want to make sure we’re not missing something.

Any tips or advice from other tripod owners would be much appreciated. I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has theirs on an antidepressant, although from what I’ve read this isn’t commonly prescribed post-surgery.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to upgrade both my PC and my partner’s PC this month. The order will include two GPUs and two CPUs, along with some other components, so I’ll be spending quite a bit in one order.

I’m currently deciding between Overclockers and Scan, but I’m a little hesitant about placing such a large order with either of them without hearing other people’s experiences first.

Has anyone here bought expensive PC components from either company? How was your experience, particularly with delivery, faulty items, returns and refunds?

I’d also be interested in recommendations for better alternatives in the UK.

I’d prefer not to use Amazon, as I’ve had poor experiences with their returns process in the past.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I’m unsure which route to take and would appreciate some advice.

Current build:
GPU: RTX 5060 8GB
CPU: Ryzen 5 5500
RAM: 16GB DDR4

I only have the budget to do one of these options:

Option 1: Stay AM4
RTX 5070 12GB
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
32GB DDR4

Option 2: Move to AM5
Keep RTX 5060 for now
Ryzen 5 7500X3D / Ryzen 7 7800X3D
32GB DDR5

Would you prioritise the stronger GPU + 5800X3D now, or move to AM5 and upgrade the GPU later?

Thanks.

Hi all,

I have an RTX 5060 8GB and Ryzen 5 5500. I can play most games at 120fps 1440p but I’d like to be able to play with ultra settings. Fortnite in particular struggles on this setup when using lumen (staying at 120fps 1440p)

My question is, what should I upgrade my GPU/CPU to in order to see bigger gains if staying on AM4?

I was thinking a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and RTX 5070 12GB (I have 32GB ddr4 ram), if you have a better combo for 1440p gaming at very high/ultra settings please let me know

Thanks

Hi, does anyone here have a lower free end saddle partial denture? How is it?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I am seeking advice and/or experiences from those who wear a free end saddle denture, specifically on the lower jaw.

I'm 26 years old and will be having my lower right second molar extracted, leaving me with no posterior teeth on the right side. I don't have the means to get implants right now but it's not off the table for in the near future, once I'm able to work again.

I've heard good/bad things about partial dentures and I have one currently. It's pretty good considering the fit isn't the greatest. I can eat with it just fine. I have however not had a free end saddle partial denture before and this will be a new experience for me.

Thank you!
