    Cyberpunk 2077

    I don't understand why nobody has made a true sci-fi GTA yet, including Rockstar. There's so much you could do. Watch Dogs does not count, that's just bad GTA with a hacker theme. I mean like actual future tech.

    Battlefield 2042

    So this is on sale for 26.99 right now on EA/Origin. Definitely worth it. Another big patch that looks good going in tomorrow. This game really turned itself around with the last 2 major patches. Heck, just adding 16v16 rush as a main game (not just Portal) mode was huge. For all the people...

    It's so complicated though. I'd be going to work for a huge potential customer of my current employer, an account that we've had our eye on, in-fact, our account manager for this customer speaks to them at least once a week, and we do 'free' consulting work for them currently, trying to move...

    IDK I've played too many MMOs. Getting an insane title bump and bigger numbers is very hard for me to resist. It's a 30k raise.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Because most modern games at high resolutions are entirely GPU bound, they will show flat between every product aside from possibly 0.1% lows. Exception being simulation-heavy games like MS Flight Sim or that F1 racing game they like to put on the charts.

    Also, you can sell covered calls on your INTC and you can't do that on your treasuries. This actually seems like a pretty strong play.

    The secret to this format is to just draft 2x Floriferous Vinewall, at least 6 dual lands, and then just pick the best cards in every pack. 7-1 with this, some extremely absurd 1-sided games. 8 legends including Ratadrabik.

    That's probably why the MSRP is getting so high on these cards, so the partners can actually get some margins back.

    Zotac has one of the more sane looking designs for their 40-series boards. This could turn it around for Zotac. I also think Zotac is one of the only partners where the board is assembled mainly in the US. BTW lets merge these threads @Amod

    Yeah, that's why I pulled the trigger on the 3080 FE as soon as I could get one, at $699 it was a ridiculously good deal.

    The PG279QM has a hardware G-SYNC module, the XG27AQM is merely Freesync/G-SYNC compatible. The XG27AQM overclocks to 270hz, while the PG279QM only goes to 240hz. Other than that, they're basically the same panel.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yes, actually. This video is really good, because they compare the ASUS XG27AQM with the PG279QM which are effectively the same monitor but one has G-SYNC and the other is just G-SYNC-compatible-freesync. Here's the moneyshot though: Without the actual proprietary G-SYNC module, as the...

    I have to use a plastic take-out knife to release the latch on mine. It works really well actually. Nothing else would work without being too pokey and damaging the board or being too brittle. But the backside of a decent plastic knife is perfect. There's like 3 different 'grades' of plastic...

    What I meant was keep making the AIO cards at a high markup and not sell the regular cards which obviously had the worst margins. Nvidia is never going to make their own AIO cards, so there wouldn't be a direct competition for the same revenue.

    Most people work for the opportunity to afford a home. If house prices keep going up, workers will keep demanding more and more money. House prices have to come down. This has to include mortage rates going up, new construction happening, materials going down, and more employment in the sector.
