   RAID: Shadow Legends — Best free-to-play games with a short daily loop

   Short version: it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

   Would you recommend Clash Royale to a total beginner?

   Same boat here. temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Controller versus mouse and keyboard for the driving sections (Asia servers)

   This comes up a lot, so: measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

   RAID: Shadow Legends — Best free-to-play games with a short daily loop

   Spent most of the weekend on this and I am still not sure I understand it. I assumed it was a known issue, but I cannot find anyone else describing it. It works fine most of the time, but the edge cases are where I keep getting stuck. Curious whether that matches what everyone else is seeing.

   Ultrawide versus dual monitors for gaming

   This comes up a lot, so: temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

   Best value GPU right now for Old School RuneScape?

   For what it is worth, the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

   Neverness to Everness — Do you cap your frame rate on purpose?

   Short version: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

   Side content — skip it or do it as you go?

   I want to get ahead of this before it becomes a habit. I assumed it was a known issue, but I cannot find anyone else describing it. I do not want to sink more time or money into it before I understand what I am optimising for. Curious whether that matches what everyone else is seeing.

   Best early characters to build in NTE (low-end setup)

   Depends on your setup, but broadly keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

    Controller versus mouse and keyboard for the driving sections (high refresh rate)

    Had the exact same issue. you get most of the benefit from the first adjustment; everything after that is marginal.
