I have a 5950x and it's going good so far.

IMO, a true Indian made phone is sour grapes.

TBH perhaps it's not worth buying in this case. Although you could buy it and if it doesn't do what it says on the box you could return it. Amazon should honour that in their return policy I think. Alternately, see if you can find this model in a brick-and-mortar store so that you can ask the...

I didn't have that socket and had to get it installed.

Technically, you can run smaller models on basic hardware as well. For example I run Gemma-4-A4B on my Radeon 6800xt, which is a pre-AI era card and it runs decently at about 44 tokens per second for smaller quantizations (I run Q4_0 for Gemma-4). But you will be limited by context size and...

Really good models will require a beefy GPU. From what I've seen Gemma 4 12B model is somewhat smaller (around 13 GB) so you could get away with a smaller GPU, but it's better to have a bigger one so that you have enough for a decent context size. I'd suggest a Radeon AI R9700 with 32 gigs of...

Have you considered getting a second-hand laptop? Those are cheaper and you can get older generation higher end model at a reasonable price.

Nice. Damages? You didn't get the Fractal Design Meshify?

You are getting the Fractal Meshify case retail or online? I wanted to buy that myself but couldn't find any sellers.

This thread is for reporting on game demos that have just released and comment about the ones you've played and how your experience was. I was recently playing the Stronghold 4 demo: *store.steampowered.com/app/2153760 I've always liked the Stronghold series, especially since the...

The graphics kinda remind me of Firewatch. Have you played that?

Steam link?

Have you tried BIOS reset? Although I suspect it could be a dying motherboard.

Two others I'm looking forward too: This one because I really enjoyed Rogue Trader and this is from the same developers. and this:

Yeah, I played the demo. Its a pretty unique RPG, it does not hold your hand much and leaves you to develop your characters skills by doing things, somewhat like Skyrim.
