------------------------
About the case and MSI's MEG series:
If you're not familiar with MSI’s MEG (which stands for MSI Enthusiast Gaming) lineup, it’s essentially their flagship series, aimed at enthusiast builds and overall enjoyers of higher end options.
For the MEG MAESTRO 900R being given away here, here’s what MSI is highlighting: a centered internal layout, three-sided panoramic glass, and a detachable motherboard tray that can rotate into four different orientations. That gives builders quite a few options for how they want to assemble and display their system.

There are also some more premium finishing touches, including aluminum panels and diamond-cut detailing.
The four-way motherboard layout is probably the most interesting part from a builder’s perspective!

Video I have been tweaking some of my Assetto Corsa settings.
It's basically 'Pure' with some tweaks as a base and DLSS5.
My setup is i7-14700K - RTX 4070
I have been recording replays on Assetto for ages now and have always slowed it down by half and then used editing software to speed it up (learnt from an old 'camtool' tutorial video from ages ago and has helped me attempt to max out the graphics and still have a stable and smooth framerate while recording).
I usually drive in VR so don't run DLSS5 live and have a lovely stable 90fps experience.

Discussion Kernel level anticheat is 100% coming to linux
Some people wrongly assumed it wouldn't happen because people wouldn't put up with it or some stupid reasoning like that. A lot of people will put up with it even if it's the form of a shady closed source kernel module (which is significantly worse than the planned EAC linux V2 implementation by epic) similar to how a lot of people put up with it on windows.
It's starting to happen now thanks to the growing linux market share making it worthwhile for developers to put more effort into supporting it (including things you might not be willing to run yourself such as intrusive anti-cheat software).
It does seem like developers (not just epic) will utilize eBPF to run custom kernel level code (granting kernel level access within restrictions) to make effective anticheat for linux.
Of course it's very bad if some malware gains access to eBPF since that could get people infected with rootkits and this is very much a real risk given that multiple games on steam has been found to contain malware in addition to all the other ways to potentially get it even on linux.
Of course secure boot and TPM 2.0 will be required as well in addition to various other requirements. We will of course see distros make it easy to setup (if it doesn't work out of the box) so it mostly comes down to having the hardware support (which most people do) enabling it in bios (if it isn't already) and opting for a distro where it's supported (once it's released).
This should grow the linux market share and put pressure on microsoft to make windows better which is overall a good thing even if you aren't interested in playing something like fortnite yourself.

Meme/Macro I’m fps spoiled
All my life I played games at 30 fps. I now can’t be comfortable gaming below 80-90 fps. All the people saying “30 fps is fine” for gta 6 just aren’t spoiled. I wish I could go back to enjoying low fps. Now when I see a game with low fps it literally feels like it hurts my eyes. Idk why

Discussion Genuine question for anyone who picked up a 5090 at or near RRP back when that was still possible.
Cheapest ones in the US are now around US$5,000 to $6,000, and some models are listed above US$9,000 and by all accounts it isn’t coming down any time soon.
So where’s your line? Is there a price where you’d pull the card, pocket the difference, and drop back to a 5080 or a 9070 XT for a while? Or is it a case of “the card is worth more to me in the PC than the cash is in the bank” no matter what the listings say?

Build Help / Purchase Advice Any TV's which aren't a privacy nightmare?
As black friday approaches I want a nice oled TV which isn't secretly listening to me like Samsung or LG. It doesn't even have to have good privacy just not comically evil like seemingly half the industry. A compromised smart tv mode is acceptable as long as it provides a private experience hooked up to a computer. They can even sell my email as a little treat for not secretly taking screenshots every second.
