Normal memory isnt supposed to be 100% reliable. Thats why you have ECC memory, which is used on mission critical computers(servers). It’s more expensive and more reliable but normal memory is reliable enough for most consumer uses and cheaper, thats why it is the default.

Normal DDR5 modules have something like a “light ecc” function built in but there are actual DDR5 ECC modules that are obviously better.

PS Your motherboard needs to support ECC memory in order to use ECC memory modules.

They have inferior ray tracing performance for their price and fsr has inferior image quality/performance in comparison to dlss. Even intel’s xess is superior to fsr. And thats on top of amd cards using more power per frame rendered while offering extremely marginal rasterization performance/price improvement over nvidia.

So in the end, people would rather pay 10% more and get an nvidia card. And thats without taking into account the perceived brand value.

Amd gpus are in their bulldozer days. They need a zen like pump in their architecture or a significant price cut. People shit on nvidia for selling neutered overpriced cards but amd deliberately prices its own cards barely cheaper than nvidia’s.

Imagine if the 7800xt was 400€. We wouldnt be having this conversation. Are you telling me that amd’s margins are so narrow that they cant do that? Then either nvidia isnt scamming us or they have brilliantly created something that has lower cost than amd’s cards, while offering similar performance. I am not sure which scenario is better for AMD.

It is one of the most underrated games of all time IMO. It is what mass effect was for shooters, but for xcom style tactical games. It may not be for everyone but if you are in a mood for some marvel stuff and you like xcom, it is perfect.

There is A LOT of dialogue and while you can ignore some ambient dialogue, you cant skip direct dialogue. It is a “vibe” game and i think reviewers who are in a race to finish games, didnt like the vibe. But the characters and dialogue are surprisingly decent, marvel style stuff.

It is a very impressive game, in its artstyle and mechanics. You can see why they had high sales expectations. They have put a lot of thought and effort into it. And despite having cards, it feels less rng than xcom. Especially later on, you can manage rng better, you have more options.

I am not even a marvel fan, i think most of their movies are 6-7 out of 10 but i enjoyed learning about the characters and their in game renditions were fun(and moderately movie accurate). Xcom 2 is a top 10 game of all time for me. Midnight suns doesnt have the insane rng highs/lows and environmental spookiness(fog of war, etc) of xcom but midnight suns’ production values, characters and story might make it a better game.

PS You can have insane rng in midnight suns with pushing people off cliffs/into holes but thats a mechanic that i mostly avoided.

Yeah, the lack of microtransactions and theme are its strong points. It even has some light story stuff.

But if you want to play a game of that style, you might be better off playing Star Rail(from the dev that made Genshin Impact), which is a f2p game with tons of microtransactions but you can really enjoy it without spending a dime. And Star Rail’s design and production values are unrivaled.

I havent played the game but from what i understand it seems like your typical mobile gacha game, where you collect characters and they autofight enemies. Except it isnt f2p and doesnt have any microtransactions. It is just a paid game, with all the trappings, design and progression of a f2p mobile game.

They just need to make a more interesting gameplay loop. The arena shooter genre is dead, even if this isnt an old school arena shooter, it is somewhat similar. People hate copycats but the reality is that some gameplay loops are better than others. Battle royales and loot extraction gameplay loops are more popular because they are more fun.

In Greece, eating feta cheese with watermelon(or melon) is somewhat common. You combine the sweetness of the watermelon with the saltiness of feta. And both things are cold.

The 4070 uses a lot less power, has significantly better ray tracing performance, superior resolution scaling and frame generation(dlss), better encoding/streaming options while being 5-10% slower in rasterization. And it costs around the same. And the 12gB vram arent a bottleneck in any real use so far.

Amd products are way overpriced, especially considering they are in the 2nd place. Amd has made great products in the past but atm, their offers are barely competitive and not a significant deal over nvidia’s. And that is a deliberate choice by amd.

They dont want their products to be better, they want to be slightly better offer than nvidia. Amd’s 6650xt, 7600 and 7800xt are fine products but they are just fine, not a clearly superior option to nvidia’s.

The audience loved those movies, thats why they became classics. But movie reviewers were much more pretentious back then. Nowadays it is more socially acceptable for a movie critic to say they had fun with a mainstream action movie.
