The sequel continues the story of Wake’s struggle against the mysterious darkness that threatens both him and the town’s inhabitants. As players navigate through atmospheric environments and engage in intense combat against shadowy foes, they unravel the truth behind the dark forces plaguing Bright Falls and discover the secrets buried within Wake’s own past. With its blend of psychological horror, thrilling gameplay, and immersive storytelling, “Alan Wake 2” promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.”(conversation had with chatgpt on april 24th 2024)

I have run this game on the minimum system requirement of a Radeon RX 6600 XT

the stats for this graphics card are as followed

    • 3 display ports
    • 1 HDMI ports
    • 32 MB infinity cache
    • 32 compute rays and ray accelerators
    • 8 GB GDDR6
    • up to 2359 MHz game clock speeds

Using this more powerful graphics card was the right decision as now it ran the game and despite being clutched onto my seat in horror I managed to love the games for it’s intense graphics it ran them all quite smoothly and the GPU didn’t get too hot either. meaning I could do other things at the same time like run Discord or run 3d printing software.

also with 16 GB GDDR6 RAM and a passmark score of 16494 it was really hard NOT to go with this GPU for its price. Made by AMD  PCIE 4.0 x16 dual fan,190 Watts power supports directX 12_2 and open GL 4.6

price is 329.99 Link

In conclusion  I would have to say that the Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SSD would be an amazing choice for business operations with boasting 500GB of storage meaning it is able to easily hold files and with its high read/write speeds I would highly recommend this to any businessman. And that wraps this up.

Kingston Fury Beast 8GB 2666MHz DDR4 review

Today I am going to go over my review with the Kingston fury beast ddr4 RAM. Which is one of the cheapest home RAM’s.  It is one stick of 8gb ddr4 for a good 29 dollars on amazon. I will say it is amazing at running Minecraft with no shaders at roughly 50 fps. it is non-ecc with a CAS latency of 36 and takes up 1.2 Volts and has dual channel support.

This image above serves as a link to a bigger picture. If you would like to buy it then the link is here

Overall this RAM is good for starting out a home/very very low end gamer pc I would ONLY recommend it for home use though. It would be very slow so I recommend it for home use for that point. That is all I have for today so see you later.

ASUS AMD B650-A Motherboard review

Today we will be reviewing the ASUS ROG-STRIX B650-A Gaming motherboard. I choose this motherboard to reviewing this motherboard today because it is an amazing motherboard with great capabilities for gaming.

The reason I pick this specific motherboard is because AMD has been the leading manufacturer in CPUs these past few years. They also have their own GPU series (I would not recommend using it) but they have expanded horizons that specialize in CPUs which makes them a great choice to pair with ASUS because ASUS is an amazing motherboard manufacturer. I am extremely biased towards them because I have had so many amazing experiences with them in the past.

It also holds a maximum of 128 GB of RAM (Random access memory) This is where the CPU uses the memory in the RAM to store temporary storage that leaves once you turn off the PC this si what we uses typically to run games.
