I can't find the official RE4 thread, but this game is stressful as fukk

I'm on chapter 14, shyt has me so stressed out that I can only play a chapter or 2 a night. It's fun, and is a great remaster, but I don't remember it being so damn stressful

Anybody can point me to some good prebuilt gaming PC's? I want good enough specs to play today's games at ultra 4K settings so I'm assuming something with a 4080 or 4090 card on it. My budget is about 4 G's.

You can check out Corsair’s website. They just launched their new vengeance line of prebuilts that come with 4080’s and 4090’s. How important is future upgradability for you? If you don’t care and just want a simple, no fuss powerful system you can look into the HP Omen 45L PC’s. You can buy direct from there or get one at Best Buy. I had one with a 3080Ti in it last year before I got my current system. I didn’t really have anything bad to say about it at all. Performance was definitely fantastic and it was around $4k if I’m remembering correctly.

I'll check out their site now.

How often will these latest prebuilt systems need updating in your opinion?

It depends what configuration you go with. For instance, if you were to get something with a 13900K and a 4090 and say a DDR5 7600 kit, you’ll be good for at least the next 4-5 years in my opinion. Even if you got the Omen, I’d say it would be good for the same time frame. The only thing with that is most of their components are proprietary so if you want to upgrade anything, it won’t be as easy.

Finally decided to go for it and got a 4070ti

I was hooked for a minute. really cool game. but it got to the point where I felt like I was solving every murder the same way. hopefully they can add more variety

I'll probably get back to it when I finish System Shock

GIGABYTE Fortifies System Security with Latest BIOS Updates and Enhanced Verification​

GIGABYTE Technology, one of the leading global manufacturers of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, has always prioritized cybersecurity and information security. GIGABYTE remains committed to fostering close collaboration with relevant units and implementing robust security measures to safeguard its users. GIGABYTE engineers have already mitigated potential risks and uploaded the Intel 700/600 and AMD 500/400 series Beta BIOS to the official website after conducting thorough testing and validation of the new BIOS on GIGABYTE motherboards.

To fortify system security, GIGABYTE has implemented stricter security checks during the operating system boot process. These measures are designed to detect and prevent any possible malicious activities, providing users with enhanced protection:

1. Signature Verification: GIGABYTE has bolstered the validation process for files downloaded from remote servers. This enhanced verification ensures the integrity and legitimacy of the contents, thwarting any attempts by attackers to insert malicious code.
2. Privilege Access Limitations: GIGABYTE has enabled standard cryptographic verification of remote server certificates. This guarantees that files are exclusively downloaded from servers with valid and trusted certificates, ensuring an added layer of protection.

BIOS updates for the Intel 500/400 and AMD 600 series chipset motherboards will also be released on the GIGABYTE official website later today, along with updates for previously released motherboards. GIGABYTE recommends that users regularly visit the official GIGABYTE website for future BIOS updates.
