Forza horizon 6 is incredibly well optimised and the developers deserve recognition for it

The game looks absolutely stunning. With everything set to extreme, full ray tracing, no ai trickery and native 4k, I'm hitting minimum 80-100fps.

Unbelievably, they say that a 1650 runs at 1080p 60fps. That's a 4gb card that can be bought for £30 if you shop around!

This just shows that it is possible to make games look beautiful for those of us with high end systems without destroying performance for people with older setups.

New Microsoft Surface for Business PCs pair Panther Lake chips with as little as 8GB of RAM — 8GB 13-inch Surface Laptop goes light on memory but still starts at $1,299

For those that may claim Surface "is actually super popular with businesses, you just don't see it":

>Surfaces just aren’t as popular as other computers. They have never managed to take more than 2.1% market share of PC shipments ... Microsoft declined to comment on whether it considers Surface successful. [source]

It brings multiple billions, but Surface likely costs an enormous amount of money. Years ago, Microsoft stopped reporting Surface revenue separately, much less a profit / operating income number for Surface in the history of the division.

//

I used to think Surface only existed to "push Windows OEMs to do better", but I'd say Windows OEMs are more responsive to Apple's MacBook designs than to Microsoft's Surface designs. Very, very few (see the market share) and likely desperate companies will be running to ask for a "volume discount" on $1300 8GB machines.

[Fix] Finally fixed the dual-monitor stutter bug (without disabling HAGS)

I’ve been dealing with a massive headache for a long time: video on my second monitor would constantly stutter or lose smoothness when I was gaming. It’s that classic Windows bug that hits when you have a large gap in refresh rates (my setup is 240Hz primary + 60Hz secondary).

It happened regardless of the game or the browser.

I spent a whole week trying to fix this. Drivers, registry hacks, Windows settings - you name it. The only common "solution" was disabling HAGS (Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling), but I play with Frame Generation, so that wasn't an option for me.

After getting nowhere, I gave up on Windows and just built a workaround.

The Fix: It’s a tiny background utility that draws a 1-pixel invisible moving rectangle on the secondary monitor. It forces the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) to keep the display in a high-performance render state, which completely eliminates the desync.

I know, it’s a total hacky crutch, but it’s the only thing that actually saved my setup after a week of trial and error.

Since I know how frustrating this bug is, I threw the .exe and the source code on GitHub. If you're losing your mind over this same issue, give it a shot.

(Note: Just grab the .exe from the "Releases v 1.1.0*" section on the right side of the GitHub page).*

GitHub: https://github.com/Arccalc/Dwmfix

EDIT: Pushed v1.2 to GitHub

  • Interactive Position Customization (Drag & Drop): Enabling the "Show & adjust position (drag & drop)" option displays the render indicators and allows you to freely drag them to any position on your screen.
  • Single Instance Enforcement: Implemented a system-wide lock via shared memory. Attempting to launch a duplicate instance will prompt a warning dialog ("DWM Fixer is already running.") and cleanly terminate the duplicate process

Hope this helps some of you save your sanity. Let me know if it works for your setup.

RTX 5080 Models – Which One for Best Cooling, Noise & Reliability?

I’m currently choosing an RTX 5080 and I’m looking for something high quality, long lasting, quiet, and with very good cooling. I don’t care about squeezing out a few extra FPS, I care more about stability, noise levels, thermals, and long-term reliability.

These are the models I’m considering (sorted by price in my country):

  • Inno3D RTX 5080 X3 / X3 OC — 1308€
  • Gigabyte RTX 5080 AERO OC SFF — 1311€
  • Palit RTX 5080 GamingPro — 1337–1372€
  • Gigabyte RTX 5080 WINDFORCE OC SFF — 1349€
  • Gainward RTX 5080 Phoenix — 1360–1372€
  • PNY RTX 5080 Triple Fan — 1371€
  • MSI RTX 5080 VENTUS 3X OC — 1372€
  • PNY RTX 5080 EPIC-X RGB — 1374–1406€
  • Zotac RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC — 1426–1436€
  • Gigabyte RTX 5080 GAMING OC — 1444€
  • MSI RTX 5080 EXPERT OC — 1449€
  • Zotac RTX 5080 AMP Extreme INFINITY — 1449€
  • MSI RTX 5080 VENTUS 3X OC PLUS — 1450€

I specifically want to avoid issues like bad thermal paste/pump-out problems, poor hotspot temps after a year, rattling fans, etc.

I’m willing to pay ~100€ more if it actually gets me noticeably better cooling quality, lower noise, and better long-term reliability.

Which one would you personally choose and why? Especially interested in real-world experiences with temps, noise, and long-term behavior after several months of use.

Regret changing 7900XT for 5080

I bought PNY 5080 for a new set, going into Nvidia after many years with AMD... As I was reading how much easier everythink is on Nvidia...

After a week of struggle I established that I can only use it at 70% power (MSI Afterburner), otherwise PC just freezes. Have 7800x3d, DDR5, good 850W PSU, everything works great except the most expensive part... Meanwhile so critisized 7900xt worked amazing all the time.

Am I so just one unlucky guy?

The Vision-M is here! The PCMR x Lian Li case collab now also comes in matx/mITX size!

Finally, after the original Vision, and the Vision Compact, now there's also an mATX/Mini-ITX Vision, the Vision-M!

To show off just how well it still fits pretty much every top-of-the-line gaming component you might want to throw at it, I did this "Standard super-high-end" gaming build with a 5090 and a 9850X3D, plus 13 fans, a Curve AIO screen (that has a motor and moves).

The case will come in Black, White, and a digital version of both, which includes the 9.2 Inch LCD screen you can see here.

You can choose to use a divider so there's a total separation between the case chambers, and your AIO radiator and fans are invisible, as well as most of the tubes. You can also choose to show it off, by removing the divider (which just needs one screw removed).

As for ease of building in it, it's fantastic. It was just as easy as building in the Vision Compact.

Check out the full build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VRNP48fD8U

Specs:

  • Lian Li O11 VISION-M
  • AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE
  • X870M AORUS ELITE WIFI7
  • TEAMGROUP DDR5 XTREEM ARGB 7200
  • Lian Li RS1200G
  • Lian Li UNI FAN TL WIRELESS 120 + REVERSE BLADE + WIRELESS.
  • Lian Li HydroShift II OLED CURVED
