Both, three rotations after the threads catch.

One or none bears the risk of the connector coming out crooked and bending the pins, causing a potential alignment issue on the next connection and bending them further.

It never seems to be the people who have actually used the mouse complaining about the port location.

A brief 1-2 minute charge nets you hours of use, it’s really not a big deal.

  1. After you power the system on, does pressing the capslock key cause the corresponding light on the keyboard to change states?

  2. Once the system is powered on, does the monitor and its backlight stay on? Or does it fall back to a “no signal” mode?

I’d be looking at a used 2070/Super or 3060/Ti in your situation.

If you’re on Windows, consider that you have a year of support left with Windows 10. You can buy further security updates from Microsoft, from 0patch, or with an “unsupported” Windows 11 upgrade. There’s also Linux if the games you want to play are supported :)

With that in mind, you can consider the alternative of limping along with what you’ve got and saving for the next year to do a more substantial upgrade / overhaul.

Even at the top end (RTX 4090) performance difference between PCI 3.0 and 4.0 is pretty negligible.

What framerate are you targeting?

I find it highly unusual that your CPU is reaching 100% in TF2 of all games.

Your system also shouldn’t be “unresponsive in general use” with these specifications.

Based on paper specifications alone, I’d be leaning towards the 3060/3070 as the most meaningful upgrade in gaming performance. However, I suspect there may be an issue with your software environment or an undiagnosed hardware issue.

Bit surprised to hear that, they were able to repair a customized / engraved Wave that I’ve had for 14 years.

It saw heavy (ab)use, locking mechanism for the knife blade got stuck/damaged after I used a baton to split wood.

With Windows 10 support ending in a matter of days, that leaves the latest Microsoft OS as the only real option for gamers right now

Windows 10 support ends in 2025. Linux is a very real option for the majority of games.

Given the idiocy in this article, I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t occur to them to delete Windows.old from an external software environment. Ultimately, that’s something you want to keep around for a while because it’s what lets you roll back the upgrade if there turns out to out to be problems.

Might be cozy because of the nostalgia more than anything else, but I’ve been cruising through the Turok remasters
