I kind of feel bad that it's been two years and I've only amassed 226 miles. The car gathers so much dirt just sitting in the garage. I really do like this car. Will she forgive me?

I bought an entire new computer. New motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler, RAM, case, etc. Thankfully I bought the RAM before the apocalypse. The old computer configuration hasn't changed at all. All I did was replace the CPU paste. Since it is no longer my primary computer, I had more time to...

New computer is working great. No complaints beside the fact that I barely have time to enjoy it. The more interesting part (to me) was discovering after many many hours of testing that the old CPU might be just fine. Once I turned off XMP in the BIOS, it started behaving normally again. Go figure.

Finally got some needed sleep. I think I got out of bed only twice. It was bliss. Merry Christmas, everyone.

It's not just BF6 anymore. It may have just been timing. I launched several other historically stable games afterwards and they started crashing to desktop or giving off weird errors. I again wiped the machine so just the OS was installed, then installed and attempted to play Fallout 76. Blue...

Evidence suggests my CPU is to blame, which likely means it's on its way out. So, I decided to buy all new parts to go with the 5090 (too bad, bootyluvr). Hopefully should find out late tonight/tomorrow if I just threw away two grand for nothing.

I could have other issues at play because now I have two other games acting strange with hiccups and crashing to desktop. I wipe the OS install yearly, so it's standard drivers with only Chrome and a few games on this machine. Time to start part swapping to investigate.

Upon popular request:

Turn it 90 degrees and you'd see why it's garbage. It's a slice and not a half sphere. I'm not a Star Wars fan so my opinion is largely meaningless, but the aforementioned deficiency should render this "overpriced".

Realistically, I have no room to build nor display it. But I still want it.

I may have figured this out. This game does not like 4x frame generation. Not even 3x. I've switched it to 2x, which is what my 4090 used to do. Now, the game is stable. Go figure.
