Remember to buy a POWERFUL and RELIABLE PSU with the RTX 3080. In a Crysis Remastered test, German game magazin PC Games Hardware ran into problems with their MSI RTX 3080. They had to exchange their Seasonic 750 watt PSU for a 1000 watt PSU and the problems were solved... So: yes. It needs power. LOTS AND LOTS of power.

Did they massively OC their (assuming they're running Intel) processor, or run some crazy test bench. 750w gold PS should be more than enough unless they've gone nuts with their setup, well beyond what an average consumer would do.

Well played, Sony.

As in all things Digital Jesus does, it’s long.

Blessed be!

Want! Please and thank you.

The extent of my knowledge of this situation is, let me know if I am missing something:

1) Guy develops and sells cheating software (against all terms of service agreements) violating all kinds of IP laws.
2) People buy a shit ton of said software, use it (against all terms of service agreements) - cheating is said to be prevalent in the game.
3) Big old evil ActiBlizz do the right things for once, it appears, to protect their IP and all that stuff shutting this guy down
4) The guys customers are, apparently, in a massive fit, freaking out, demanding refunds and losing their shit at the guy and even ActiBlizz

Boo...fucking...hoo, idiots.

Can we get a remastering of Soldier of Fortune? Loved shooting limbs off in that one.

I support this - along with RTX support like Quake2 RTX.

Recently replayed this - needed the standard work-arounds that Quake2/3 etc engined games need to work properly but it was fine. No limbs were left attached or recognizable.

Time flies, like it was yesterday I was coming home from a night shift to an unlocked steam download of Serious Sam 3 launch and played through that over the next few days. Had been following that launch on Bluesnews like many others.

Can't wait to get Serious again. Really thought this 4th game had become vaporware; gimme Sam!

9 years ago.. wtf

Anyone have thoughts on this - a 1440p 144hz 1000HDR monitor, well reviewed, or a 4k 144hz 600HDR, well reviewed, monitor. Does the HDR difference really make any actual difference. The 4K one costs 1100 Canadian, just released a couple days ago here and is sold out everywhere for now.

That's interesting, and kind of random...
Reg 3070 due in October, TI versions aren't usually even announced, never mind launched, for what...6+ months after the base version? OEM would be pretty random too and probably piss a lot of the fanboys passionate enthusiasts off that really want the extra video memory.

Well, I'm glad the PoE guys are still working on their endless game, and it's cool that people enjoy it, but it really feels like they are just preying upon the whales that support the whole enterprise with in game purchases at this point. I'd love to see a breakdown of where their cash is coming from now, ie. a small percentage of players who spend thousands of dollars each, and much larger percentage of players who spend zero, along with a small chunk who have spent 5-40$ or so. If you look at the PoE forums, most of the posters have tags from a dozen different contribution packages. Addicts pay for long term games like this.

Yeah, but it keeps the game free so let the whales have their fun and GGG make some $$.

Tried to get back into the game the last couple leagues and I last maybe till just finishing the 2nd round in the Labyrinth and absolutely burnout. I'm too worried about screwing up my build, I'm alt-tabbing way to much to use the trade website, research builds, use that build-app (which is fairly impressive to be honest) and watch youtube videos the list goes on and I do not enjoy it. And way too many of these PoE players that post builds and tips use 1000 different abbreviations and terms I do not understand, which they never explain.

*old man shakes fist at cloud*

Resident Evil live series.... OH MY GOD

Definitely interested in the 30xx series, and would prefer a 3080ti as well.
I'm personally happy to wait and see; I'm curious about failure rates. These power draining monsters; not feeling the need to early adopt and will wait a few months after release when some decent board partner cards have been tested, reviewed and there isn't some disaster that occurs with the product quality.

wow. 20 gigs of vram. Would people's eyes actually be able to discern that much texture detail?

And that 3090 is thiccccc! Must be a couple inches longer than a 2080, an inch wider, and it takes up 3 mobo slots!

The support bracket will need its own support bracket.

Gonna give it a go over the weekend. Only just picked the game and Swamp DLC last month on sale, enjoyed it.

Oh boy! more free crap.

hmm nah - Not crap. Excellent game (Remnant)

one of the greatest sp fps ever! and all the mp mods weren't too bad either

Stay safe Blue & Fam

Related to a discussion here last week about AMD stock and investing; I wish I could tell when the bottom of this latest dip for Intel would be; possibly consider throwing some money at their stock. It's inevitable the stock should rebound sometime. Been a lot of up and downs the last couple years. Curious to see the fallout of this suing will be.

Boy was Wolcen a letdown...

The Steamcharts do not show a pretty picture; no one is playing or cares...

Awful awful launch, brutal bugs which some still aren't fixed today, nerfs to the only aspects of the game that were remotely fun at launch; sadly this list just goes on.

Zen 3, here I come!

Right? And with the rumors/leaks of RNDA2 looking like a total beast and potentially equal to if not better than Ampere, I might be doing a complete 180 here on my next build - going from an Intel/Nvidia combo for the last 15 years to a full AMD setup... crazy. Famous last words..

As someone with an all AMD system right now (3700X + 5700XT)...don't. While the hardware may kick total ass on paper, AMD's Radeon drivers on Windows are years behind Nvidia's. If AMD put their Linux driver team on also doing the Windows drivers, I would be less skeptical. As it stands, their Windows driver team is like a group of C stringers. Which is truly disappointing.

Excellent point. Thank you.
I'm on the AMD reddit all the time; yeah people aren't happy with their software (understatement), and haven't been for years.
