Sadly, given current software and its bloated code and overly pretty graphics we are moving away from basic graphics capable chips (especially built in to cpu ones) being a good deal anymore. My 8th gen intel i5 laptop is showing signs of gpu problems far earlier than the 4th gen I5 laptop did.

I thought I'd post a new version of this thread from AT over here since the original poster hasn't been around on AT for awhile. People's thoughts for 2025 and beyond? How long will 10/12GB handle 1080p with the advertised bells and whistles that sell cards today? A work in progress of the...

Surprised it is another Black Ops game so soon. I thought they were alternating each year with regular CoD.

Just announced at gamescom: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2272360/Warhammer_40000_Dawn_of_War_IV/ Looking pretty good for early stages. 70 missions, devs are the Iron Harvest guys, could be good or bad there. 4 factions to start. Single campaign, skirmish, multiplayer and last stand mode.

Wendell at L1techs take was that secure boot etc. are mostly to make it easier to track who you are and easier to ban people. It was funny that cheats showed up in BF6 within a day or so.

I got the first one I think for free from Prime gaming on GoG. A Humble deal got me the Spacer's Choice edition on Steam and then it was free on Epic at one point. I can wait for lower prices on #2.

Yeah, normally I would go with publisher being bad given gaming industry history and I did. But having looked into the devs history and remembering stuff I'd forgotten about their Below Zero game's drama (I avoided most of the early access stuff and played at 1.0), I now put this drama at a...

Yeah, its getting bad out there. At least there are some indies and AA that still interest me. Some show up out of no where but most of the big name stuff I'm wary of. Though a lot of AA games in the $30-60 area of quality are all about milking their niche customers too. I stopped counting last...

Come on guys, the 5050 is the real interesting release this summer!

In the era of AI upscaling, we all have 540p or 720p screens scaled upwards. Even at 4k, your 4k netflix etx. video streams aren't exactly true 4k.

Yes, but they're better because the hardware limited the software more. The majority of gamers have been stuck with 8GB for 8-10 years now. If I'm stuck spending $400 for a top of the line 1080p or entry level 1440p gpu, I want it to actually be capable and last awhile. That isn't even really...

Reports of 8gb cards being not sampled is the most hilarious thing so far of this card(s) release. That and the vague release date of the 5060 8gb. The card will apparently just show up on shelves and no review cards sent out.

Its this year's lethal company co-op streamer game. Looks decent enough. Better than LC at least. That game fell off like a rock for me.

I just can't wait, why I'm so excited I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, up to 150C, can't you tell?

2K thought it was a good marketing tool and released it 2-3 years ago. It made Xcom2 and Midnight Suns annoying to deal with. It is one thing to do it with new games but when you force older games into it, it can screw things up that might not get fixed so easily.

Ouch, if the rumors of a 11% performance jump over the 7800X3d chips is true. $366 on NE back in August and now $479 in the few places its available.

I hear requiring a psn account for a single player game or one after the fact for a coop mp game causes even bigger drops in revenue.

Hmm, I paid $15 or so for the base game disc version on ps4 and $25 for the PC version on gog a couple of years ago. I think I'll pass on any "remaster".

Such a shame. Who could have seen this coming.

The pricing, the announced dlc and the design choice to emulate Homekind's changing civ idea with each era is offputting. That and I view civ 5/6 as a waste of money. 5 seemed better but 6 was just not fun. I lasted 2 hours or so. Definately a wait and see how it does for its first 1-2 years.
