  1. You got yourself a 144hz monitor? I must sound like a broken record, but it makes a difference haha!
  2. Here's a rough idea of something pretty decent, (reusing monitor and windows): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WTzZrD Could always go down to a 1tb nvme and try and get a second hand graphics card and knock $200 off. Didn't check for full compatibility, but gives a rough idea. As others have mentioned, better deals may be available soon.
  3. Here's the scanner I was telling you about: https://www.crucial.com/store/systemscanner One thing to bear in mind if you upgraded the current system with a new graphics card is making sure it would fit the case, as the case looks quite small. Also that the psu would be able to handle it. Assuming I've found the right system on the hp website, the power supply is 310w which is low. Something like a 1050 is on the smaller side, so that might work, and only seems to need a 250w psu, although that might be pushing it. Some sites suggest 300-350w. Maybe a 1030 These cards are an upgrade on the onboard graphics, but still on the lower side as far as playing modern games with decent fps. Might be better just to wait until you were upgrading everything, if you decide to wait. Could always try an ssd/nvme first and see how much of a difference it makes. Decisions, decisions, haha.
  4. Looking at the specs in the Amazon link, it is an old style hard drive. Upgrading to an ssd/nvme should provide a large performance/productivity boost for programs like photoshop and lightroom. Not to mention just for general day to day performance. If budget isn't too much of a concern, you could look at a 144hz monitor for gaming, if you don't already have one : ) Which graphics card do you currently use?
  5. What do you use for storage/external storage right now? Are they ssds/nvmes or old hard drives?
  6. I looked through it a little bit. I've heard people complaining about the new Cods for years and say they aren't as good as Cod4 and Mw2 (never played mw2 personally, but have heard others say it was their favourite). If it ain't broke don't fix it Just need to upgrade it so we can play it with our VR headsets in a few years lol.
  7. Play the original Cod4 and come to freezetag, problem solved : )
  8. What's your fps doing while playing? You can view it with "/cg_drawfps 1".
  9. You ever gotten yourself a shiny 144hz monitor, with low input lag?
  10. I think all the stuff you mentioned is banned?
  11. Cpi will be interesting next week!

    sorry

    I'm not sure how bad your issues are, but maybe there are a few things you could adjust to try and help? Not sure if you have tried playing with the contrast/brightness settings on your monitor? That can make a difference. Not sure how new/old your monitor is either, as the newer ones can be a lot better than models from 5-10 years ago. Also, in cod4 as an example, you can use the command /r_gamma 1 (number between 0.5 and 3) to adjust brightness quickly between maps. Some maps play much better around 1 (generally stock maps), average for me is around 1.6, and some need over 2. This will probably depend on your own monitor settings though.
  13. Do you know of David Hunter's forecasts?
  14. You just need to pay your $10 monthly sub to sharpedownloads.com, problem solved
  15. I'll never forget that game ending pred I got you with on backlot a few years ago, last round in overtime, two of us left. No video unfortunately, but will sadly live on in my head as one of my cherished memories
  16. The use cases go far beyond what Bitcoin does. The US military has contracts with crypto companies to secure data for example. I don't disagree that many coins have little to no substance however.
  17. +1 For a hardware wallet. Not all coins/tokens are supported, but many are. Remember and set two factor up on your exchange accounts, although I think some of the main ones force you to.
  18. Have you noticed the difference when playing?
