He better tighten up the firewall if cowboy gets a hold of his IP he could install vnc and take all his grannies money.

    I have FiOS you can do a release renew just in case you wanted to or you could just shut you FiOS modem/router off for a few minutes.

      I bought a new laptop. The specifications are as follows:

      Dell Alienware m18 R2 Gaming Laptop, NVIDIA RTX 4090 16GB GDDR6, Intel i9 14900HX Processor, 18" 2K QHD+ (2560x1600) 165Hz 3ms, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, (2) Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSDs, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Windows 11 Pro
      There is space for (2) additional SSDs. I may swap this display for a 480hz for short money. Logitech GPRO Superlight Mouse and a new 18" Razor Cooling Pad. This thing is a tank, weighing just short of 10lbs. (0.7143 st.)

      At the moment, a laptop does work best for my situation over a desktop. I would hate to carry this thing daily and doubt I could find a computer bag large enough to put it in. I have already come up against the tuning aspects of the Intel I9 processor and unreal engine crashes. I know you would be interested in this for sure. Thanks for the response, Ooper!

          Too rich for my budget.

          Really nice for the price, I've run a splitter to my Roland SP404 for making beats and practicing live DJ sets and they really sound great for that. Huge upgrade over my old, crappy Edifier Exclaims I used to have

            I ended up finding a 100% OEM, 480hz Alienware display on Ebay, and installed it yesterday. Life at 480hz is sure interesting. I notice a new quickness by 1ms or so, that can be the difference between life and death. Overall, it makes this laptop a more "well rounded" machine that now does everything well. On UserBenchmark, it posted a 3 way, UFO status at 67% of comparable machines.

            Omg a decent video card can probably run ut99 at 480 fps to match the hz. Sounds awesome 😎

            You don't need a great GPU, just strong single core CPU performance. If you can't get 480fps on windows the 64bit UT Linux build almost certainly will on the same machine, my pc with a Ryzen 5600 CPU can average 750fps average easily on the combo server, on windows generally limit top to 390 via netspeed. or HZ - 3 if on IG+ servers because of the needed 40-50k netspeed. You can have issues still with super high fps, at 750 I can get stuck to edges of brushes, players, and getting out of water, but with 480 you should be fine.

            Even a GT1030 can get you a high refresh rate experience and that is a potato.

            Just make sure you have MaxClientRate set high enough that you can also set netspeed high enough while connected to servers. You need at least 31000 limit for 480+fps https://eatsleeput.com/d/647-how-to-allow-higher-fps-online

              Ooper Thanks Ooper. Yes, I changed the ingame netspeed after the install. I have my overclocking setup at 5.57 Ghz using the Intel Extreme Tuning Utilty in conjunction with the (overclocking and fanspeed) Alienware Command Center. GPU, CPU and Memory overclocking is monitored and I can also change the Megahertz and Volts. In lieu of the Nvidia app for GPU overclocking, I'm using the ASUS GPU Tweak III software. The performance cap on the Nvidia app is too conservative. I've also tested MSI afterburner, but it's too high strung on settings.

                You won't be able to overclock that much on a laptop it probably thermal throttles on it's stock settings, you're unlikely to need to anyway for UT99, my CPU runs at 4.45ghz and I have undervolted mine which is recommended for AMD cpus for better performance and temps compared to stock voltage.

                Only thing I've done for UT in Nvidia App is set power management to maximum performance to make sure it's using full clock speed instead of a few 100mhz because UT is that old.

                  Ooper I don't have any thermal throttling problems whatsoever. I use the new Razor cooling pad. https://www.razer.com/gaming-pc-accessories/razer-laptop-cooling-pad?srsltid=AfmBOorcHcTZI5X4ANv9O2mRx8w88af2u3boIFItT20lD6wdBKBjTKfK I'm able to run all out, without using any temperature offset to prevent thermal throttling, as an option in my Bios. I can't udervolt this like you could with the older Alienware software. Intel doesn't make any provision with Extreme Utility on this version. The pad stays on high fan speed. No worries, pants and suspenders using 2 Samsung 990 PRO 's with the factory heatsinks. I'm 9000 km from the London server, so I do everything I can to stay competitive. I'm done with upgrades as of today, because I just finished up with the 64GB of RAM install.
