I think that sadly you still have to go to nvidia for low power gpus. Amd have gotten better, but they don’t sip ower quite as good. On the other hand, if you"re running a 4k/144 setup, neither card will truly be idling and the differences might be insignificant, so a 9070 could do.

Also found this thread on ltt forums with some numbers.

Based on this ( admittedly anecdotal evidence ) the 5070 would be low-power king.

Does anybody have the original study? I tried to find it but the link is dead ( looks like NANDA pulled it )

Finally, some competition for scs. From the trailer it doesn’t look like it will be a sim tho. Maybe a story driven teucking game?

Damn. The original was (to me) the highlight of many, many lan-parties.

I see it didn’t take long for polygon to turn into a clickbait factory post-layoffs

Thanks. Yeah, I did try it. Must’ve replayed it a few dozen times since it released. Another masterpiece, that one. Might give it another run after 2.4 is out, lol.

I just sort of ignored it initially thinking it will definitely flop after seeing a trailer or two. But I played it recently after a legendary edition replay and it’s an ok game. The story and characters are pretty uninspired, there’s no escaping that, but the gameplay, the combat, the exploration vibe all click. It also looks great. And the new mako is brilliant.

Do it. All mass effects are great. Even Andromeda ( despite the lackluster story )

I’ve been itching for a similar game these past few weeks and I swear there is nothing contemporary that is quite like Mass Effect. KOTOR is close, but is has aged like milk ( graphically ). Maybe the deus exes? I am still open to suggestions.

Also you’ll want to play the legendary edition, I think they fixed some of the less pleasant gameplay quirks ME1 used to have.

Had to be Bioware. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.

Even if they wanted to bank on the adblocker thing I imagine they can’t because they have to stay in Google’s good graces. Like 90% of their revenue was google money, and has been for years now.

At this point I’d honestly even pay for a privacy focused mozilla browser that is clean of all this crap, just to keep them afloat, but fat chance of that happening.

Third separate article about this game in a week? I see they’re in the hyping up phase.

Goddamn! This game was peak NFS. I keep replaying it every few years, and the handling model still holds up.

Yeah, the german lemmy went nuts with it last year. It was beautiful. Just search for Stör

Can’t wait for that LLM to become a reddit-hating bloodthirsty linux obsessed furry femboy communist tankie with a weird fondness for beans, star trek and sturgeon

It’s so damn good. I must’ve replayed it like six times since it came to pc. The story, the voice acting, characters, graphics, everything is absolutely top notch. Except for the goddamn controls (and the menus). I’m not sure if it’s due to it being a console-first game or just a rockstar thing as rdr1’s were also crap, but holy shit they’re infuriating. The amount of times I shot people by mistake, lost missions because of a wrong key, or just plain ended up with an unpayable bounty is too damn high.

It’s TakeTwo - you know they did. Bioshock was a complete arc and died with Irrational. Whatever this zombie project is, I expect it won’t live up to the name, but they’ll slap it on anyway because goshdarnit executives just can’t help milking a franchise dry instead of innovating.

They did. It wasn’t quite as good ( awful UI iirc ), but still a decent game. You can get it on gog too

Omg, my favorite civ!

Indeed

I still keep a copy of a pre-EA version on my pc, as that was the cleanest one. I played pvz2 for a bit back when it launched and don’t remember it being complete shite, but it was absolutely riddled with mtx. As far as the other pvz games, holy hell what a shitshow.
