$10 cheaper than on Steam...only in North America.
Also the Razer Store had the game for cheaper than the Epic Store before the Epic bribe (game got removed from there thanks to the exclusivity), so in the end the consumers only lose.
The PC market is is not the same as consoles, what happens on XBox or Playstation is irrelevant.
When Steam has exclusives (though more often than not, Steam keys are available on authorized 3rd party stores anyway), they're not the result of a bribe from Valve, Valve is not forcing anyone to...
More money for the developers, that is true, but, the only developers that Epic is bribing to make their games exclusive to the Epic store are well known developers that would be successful on Steam anyway, not the struggling indies that actually would need help.
Less cost to consumers though...
No idea about power usage, but there are rumors about a $180 GTX 1650 for late March and a price cut for the 1050 Ti.

Though, this rumor was wrong about the February 15th date for the 1660 Ti (it's...
Don't forget that Turing GPUs perform better than Pascal GPUs when both have the same core count (RTX 2060 vs GTX 1070, both have 1920 CUDA cores yet the RTX 2060 performs more like a 1070 Ti, which has 2432 CUDA cores).
I'm speculating that the 1660 Ti will be around 1070 tier or close to it.
The leak that shows the 1660 Ti being only 16% faster than a 1060, that test was done in a laptop, who knows how much lower the clocks are on that when compared to the desktop version of the 1660 Ti.
Plus Ashes of the Singularity is rather CPU dependent, right? I could see a laptop CPU being a...
@Those complaining about prices:
What were you expecting for 8-core processors, $200?
If the Bulldozer 8-core are overpriced, I wonder what the Core i7 970, 980X and 990X are. :>
*checks TDP values*
Hmm, those values don't seem like the TDP values at all, they seem more like the ACP (Average CPU Power) values.
Based on the previous 8-core/12-core Magny-Cours Opteron, I'm guessing that the TDP values are:
6132HE - 85W
6140 - 115W
6166HE - 85W
6176 - 115W
6180SE - 140W
