As an avid Shift Up fan (been on the Nikke train since 1st anniversary and before that, Destiny Child) I'm right there with you, but it seems like that some last minute missteps have happened for the release:- 1. All of a sudden the game has imposed PSN like region blocks/restrictions where...

Definitely looking forward to Expedition 33, there's been a dearth of good, quality single player offline JRPGs, and the market is ripe for it.

It's pretty horrific. I made a previous post comparing new x80 cards to older x80ti/90 cards and the 5080 holds the ignominious distinction for being the only card in many generations to fail to beat the previous flagship, and now the 5070TI is the first card in generations to fail to beat the...

The 3070TI losing to the 2080ti and 3070 is also highly irregular in the 1080p Ultra chart (with no upscaling) In addition AMD cards are severely under performing (4070TI matching the 7900XTX and the 4070 super beating the 7900 XT at 1080p) in this game which has no forced RT features, lack...

This is the also the FIRST x80 generation ever where the new generation x80 card failed to dethrone the previous flagship (x80TI/x90). GTX 980 was 11% faster than the GTX 780TI GTX 1080 was 31% faster than the GTX 980TI GTX 2080 was 9% faster than the GTX 1080TI RTX 3080 was 36% faster than the...

You're joking right? Given the current gen on gen improvements that have been known/leaked so far (4070->5070, 4080->5080, 4090->5090), I fully expect the 5060ti not to even the beat the 4070 in your system specs list decisively lmao. Best stick with what you have.

I do wonder if there's any credence to the rumors that some AIBs expressed surprise at NVIDIA's final pricing structure revealed during CES. Makes me think that the initial price was supposed to be 2499 USD instead of 1999 USD. It'd be the only way these insane AIB markups make any sense.

As another poster mentioned earlier on, this would be the FIRST ever generation where the x80 card fails to match or beat the consumer flagship card of the previous generation, so even if it's not surprising due to the spec leaks/reveal from NVIDIA, it's still extremely disappointing. Looking...

It was Pascal, the golden generation where both laptop and desktop variants used the exact same die for all parts and the performance delta between both weren't that far apart. Hell, some mobile variants like GTX 1070 mobile had MORE cores. Eg:- GTX 1050TI = GTX 1050TI mobile = 768 cuda cores...

17 years later and Office 2007 continues to be my jam due to the reasons stated by these fine posters above me. Heck if it weren't for the need for .docx and .xlsx support i'd have remained on 2003 to this day.

Funny thing about the 8000 series, while it started off being overpriced af for top end performance (in 2006), NVIDIA later on (barely a year later) also delivered one of the best bang for buck cards ever with the 8800 GT at a shocking 249 USD. While it is true you could never find the card at...

Definitely skipping the 5 series on my end, i caved and bought the 4070 Super 5 months ago and only have a 1080p 180Hz screen so it should last me quite a while. My justification for buying it at the time was 2 fold - my country was about to impose severe taxes on imported High Value Goods...

I feel like i dodged an immense bullet when i settled for the 12700KF instead of the 13600KF when i upgraded to my current rig nearly 2 years ago now. I had the choice between both since they were priced equally in my region at the time and my reasoning behind going for the 12700KF was AVX-512...

I'd agree if not for the fact that D3D11 feature 11_0 soon become mandatory for games to even boot in short order after DX11 came out in 2009(!) on Windows 7 (14 years old already, how time flies!), which made DX10 only cards like the G80 and G92 obsolete in many titles a lot quicker than they...

Nope, no way to undervolt non K/X 12th/13th gen mobile CPUs, Intel locked undervolting on them.
