I’ve recently upgraded to a 7900 XT graphics card and am running it at 3.0x16. A new SSD is waiting for me as well, which will actually be bottlenecked by my B450 board. It is what it is and will make no real world difference to me; the B450 will have to make do until AM6 is released.

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.

But what about Bloom?

There’s roughly 30 fuses there, maybe one of those is your culprit.

Doesn’t it have the fuses in the dash where the driver door opens?

Looks like it has the 1.8 T engine. Wish my Golf had one of those, they’re fantastic.

Didn’t they start off by lying with a “I confirm I am 13 years or older” checkbox? And why would you enter your debit card credentials into your child’s account?

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.

You’re never gonna push the technological envelope with that attitude, bro.

Seems to be less about the connector, but more about load balancing. The German guy who had 150°C connectors at the PSU side also measured current draws. One cable was doing 22 A (so almost half of the 5090’s total consumption) while the other 7 five were just chilling.

Never played the first Dune game, but Dune 2 had fantastic music. I assume at least some of it was composed by him.

I have a 7900 XT (discounted open box item) sitting around and I need to know of it’s the better option instead of waiting for the 9070 XT to release. “Reportedly” attractively priced? Come on, AMD. Drop some info right now.

Waiting for the nuclear gang to drop in and tell us that all windmills and solar panels should be dismantled in favor of clean nuclear power plants and that Germany should never have abandoned the atom.

A quick Google search tells me that a “very high” and possibly lethal dose is two milligrams, so 10 kilograms of the stuff can kill five million people.

They’re still one of the most prominent companies if you’re shopping for a mainboard or graphics card. They even have Intel GPUs in their lineup.

36 Watts idle sounds like a lot for a 5800X3D. I’ll see what my 5700X3D does, never checked that. Not in software and not at the wall.

Brabant.

The last game I preordered was CP 2077. Wasn’t even mad because I got a decent price for a physical copy and it was worth it for the memes alone.

I did pre-order KC:D II, but it’s the first full price big title I’ve purchased in a long while. I was hoping to have a new GPU at release, but it looks like I’ll have to wait a little longer. At least they’ll have ironed out the major bugs at that point.

The reason I preordered the game was that there’s a bonus quest, the game was 10% off and I can theoretically still cancel my preorder from Gamesplanet in case the reviews suck. It’s not like pre-orders are irreversible.
