  1. I turned on 2FA, but as far as I can tell it's only for your Nintendo Account. The NNID won't have 2FA.
  2. And also the fact everyone is home probably got the same idea of setting up their own home theater streaming service. I have been planning to use one as a 24/7 Plex server/player for a while now; was just waiting on a deal. I should have just gotten one at MSRP, because who knows how long it will be until they are that price again.
  3. Yeah I don't think changing your Nintendo Account affects your NNID. That seems like an even bigger security risk if they were tied that closely together.
  4. I wonder if scalpers are also buying all the new Nvidia Shield Pro, since it uses the same processor as the Switch, because I can't find them near normal price anywhere. Assholes are probably taking advantage of the manufacturing hit from Covid.
  5. So, to change our NNID password, do we have to sign into a WiiU or 3DS to do so? I can only seem to find the Nintendo Account options from the website.
  6. This should be everyone's reaction. But I clicked on someone's social media post about drinking bleach to read the comments by strangers, and this is legitimately how one random person defends Trumps... This way of looking at Trump is what 30+% of Americans must be doing...
  7. Well I didn't get an email and I've definitely bought some stuff from my WiiU, but I don't remember which credit card I used.
  8. Yep, noticeable is really the key. Even an older Core i7 can put up 50+ fps in new games. The older Core i5, on the other hand, has started to not be able to do that the last year or two. So upgrading from the i5 to... anything will be noticeable. But going from better to even better will only matter if you play a lot of multiplayer games and have 120 Hz monitor, and you really want that competitive edge.
  9. For you, today, the difference between the $150 and $400 options probably won't be noticeable in just at most a handful of select games. Your GTX 1070 is going to limit you the most at 1440p.
  10. It would be pretty massive, and set you up in the future nicely. Your CPU benefits would the following: -Core count goes from 4 to 6. -Thread count goes from 4 to 12. -Clockspeed and performance per clock increases Other benefits: -Option of installing a super fast SSD that should match the Xbox Series X requirements, if a game ever needs it. -Option of better CPU upgrades. Currently you can stick a 16 core processor in new mainstream motherboards, and even faster ones are yet to be released that should be compatible.
  11. Yeah, that's a good plan. Realistically the cheapest system upgrade will cost you $400: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($174.15 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard ($153.98 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory ($76.99 @ Newegg) Total: $405.12 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-21 22:27 EDT-0400
  12. Well an i7 should make FC5 playable for you on PC then, lol.
  13. Do you play a lot of Ubisoft games? Because if you did, you might be desperate for an upgrade LOL. Ubisoft games are reeaaaaaaaaaaaallllly demanding on the CPU. Far Cry and Assassin's Creed most notably.
  14. Well with newer games you can expect the framerate to be more stable, so any stuttering or dips you currently see will be lessened. That will be the biggest impact from upgrading the CPU. And it seems like we discussed this before, and you don't overclock currently. If you upgrade to the 4770k and then overclock it, that will be an even better jump. 4770k is a great overclocker, and you have the best motherboard to do it on. As long as you have a decent heatsink you'll break 4.5 GHz easy.
  15. I was using ebay and looking at recently sold items. But someone on these boards probably has a 4770k sitting around. You could also visit various tech boards as some of them have For Sale/Trade areas. I bought a used 3770k from Overclock.net.
  16. What games are you playing, and what games do you want to play? That really does matter, because for the most part at 1440p, if you want to use high settings, your video card will be the bottleneck.
  17. Well you can get the next step down CPU, the Core i7 4770k, for looks like under $100. That's a decent value upgrade. $150-$200 for the 4790k isn't worth it. That should hold you over for another year or two. Once these next generation consoles release and developers focus more on them then you'll need to upgrade again. But a 4770k is still capable of delivering smooth framerates in today's games. I used the 3770k until last year, which is close to the 4770k, and it was fine. I just upgraded because I like to play at over 100 fps, lol, and I wanted new tech to play with. A 4770k is a good match for your GTX 1070 - a pretty balanced affair with neither component being a bottleneck for the other. You might want to wait a bit. Someone on this forum probably has a 4770k just sitting around.
  18. They stopped releasing CPUs for that motherboard a long time ago. You can get an upgraded CPU for it, but you'll have to buy it used. The best CPU for that board is the Core i7 4790k, seems to be around/under $200 on ebay.
  19. Oh, that's a bit low. You have to replace your motherboard and RAM, too, no matter the CPU. $350 is about the absolute bare minimum I'd recommend to do that.
  20. Depends on your budget, pretty much anything will be a huge upgrade.
  21. There's a growing sentiment among Republicans that Fauci overhyped AIDS (and SARS, MERS, Swine Flue, etc), HIV isn't as bad as the media tells us, he's using these pandemics to make money for BIG Pharma, he's taking away all of our freedoms turning this country into an authoritarian rule, he wants to kill capitalism, he probably worked with the Chinese to purposefully release this engineered bioweapon, and somehow wireless 5G transmits Covid 19. Some of the most fucked up shit This is what "the other side" believes, and I'm beginning to hear this shit more loudly day by day.
