laughs and cries in 7900 XT with 20 GB, but FSR 3

The French legal system probably doesn’t stack individual sentences and go “I sentence you to a combined twenty-eight thousand years in prison” like they do in the US.

I’ve crossposted it for ya.

This is the way.

If you play games that weren’t released after 2022, sure.

Yes it’s grindy, but spend 2-3 hours with Bernard at sword practice. It will be worth it.

Honest question: How do you earn a living if you’re never in the same place for too long? I cannot see how those folks manage unless they’re so wealthy they can live off interest or they do remote work of some kind.

They obviously crossed the border, since the article mentions they came from France. Being able to travel to another country doesn’t mean you can do whatever you please, though.

Or any of the shops listed at Is There Any Deal.

630 USD for me, but I almost never purchase full price games and a lot of my Steam library games was purchased on those non-shady game key stores.

You can claim the quote is Fair Use and that your shitty business model depends on it.

CEO and corporate bullshit aside, it’s sad what the series became before Volition was eventually shut down. The first game could probably be described as a GTA clone, without being harsh. The second game was fantastic, at least if you disregard the flawed PC port. I played it on Xbox 360 back in the day and to this day, the cut scenes are some of the best I’ve seen in a video game. The side activities were bonkers, overall just a great game. Saints Row: The Third was pretty ambitious and I didn’t like the over-the-top scenario with aliens and whatnot. Saints Row IV was okay-ish, but lacked focus and direction. I was glad that I played it several years after its initial release for a very low price.

Saints Row as a franchise is pretty much exemplary for the game industry in this day and age. They release a good first game, which is fun despite some flaws. Then they improve on that and release a fantastic second game in the series. It sells well, so they decide to hire more people, expand the scope and make a more over-the-top third game. That still sells well, but somehow feels erratic and hollow. Then they continue the downward spiral until the suits pull the plug after five games and the studio is disbanded. Money is killing the game industry, but not the way the corpo from the article thinks.

I upgraded to an open box 7900 XT from my Vega 56. I tried getting a 9070 XT and was still in my return window, but damn am I glad I got the discounted previous gen card.

I definitely could not play all the latest games on the highest setting with the card I’d been rocking since 2017.

Absolutely.

I once playtested their MMO, I believe it was called “New World”. It sucked balls. Didn’t realize they were also trying to get going with game distribution.

Got an open box 7900 XT waiting at home. I’m trying my best to wait for reliable info on performance and pricing of the 9070 XT, but my guess is that it won’t be faster and the 20 GB VRAM would be nice. I paid 600 EUR including VAT and it sure doesn’t look like the 9070 XT will be cheaper than that or so fast that it would warrant a higher price. Even if we assume that RT performance and FSR 4 will be great.

Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?

Right.

The problem seems to be load balancing, or lack thereof. A German guy on YouTube noticed that his cable got up to 150°C at the PSU end, due to one wire delivering 20 or 22 amps, while the others were getting a lot less pumped through them. 22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them. That’s why it ran so hot and melted to shit.

If you’ve ever worked on your car’s 12 V electrics system, you’ll know how thick the wires (and corresponding connector sizes) are for things like window defrosters that will run through a 20 or 30 amp fuse.
