The later V64 Nitro+ model only has two 8 pins, earlier ones and the LE has 3. The 3x8 Sapphires were very popular for water cooling and extreme overclocking, iirc. Wish they had the V64 Nitro+ here, but for the last 6 months it was Strix only and now even that is sold out.

Yes, but if you haven't already got cancer then you can't prove you will get it from smoking, people smoke and live to a 100 so there's compelling evidence smoking prolongs life. And if you did get it, it might not have been from smoking anyway. People get cancer all the time whether they smoke or not. So, you can't prove global warming until it's already happened*, and if it does happen it might be due to... volcanoes! instead of us. The planet warms up all the time, it's natural and you cannot prove it's happening or that we cause it so it isn't happening and we didn't cause it. Quod Erat Demonstrandum, Science lady dogs! etc etc. *well, you can of course since CO2, Dihydrogen Monoxide, methane etc emitting in the IR range is 100% scientific provable so increases in their concentration will increase insulation, but we're not really dealing with logic anywayh. Russia has been going to obliterate Ukraine every second month for the past 4+ years, if you listen to Ukraine.

F4 got bad user reviews though nowhere near as bad as F76's obviously. IIRC F4 ended up with almost exactly the same pro review aggregate as FONV, so no bonus for BGS but still good review scores. And yeah, it sold well. There's no chance of Bethesda shutting down any time soon.

There's some possibility of escalation beyond what has already happened, but I'd expect a declaration of Martial Law in Ukraine, lots of rhetoric and not much else. Poroshenko was going to lose the elections in Ukraine and per normal procedure, get jailed by his successor as President. If he can get martial law declared he can both suspend the elections and get a bump in the polls for when they are eventually held (or not). Status quo suits Russia fine so they don't want anything other than maintaining control of the situation, Ukraine would like to control the situation more but knows they'd lose in any escalation (as they did here)- and that's been the situation since 2015.

She's fine, perhaps a bit derivative of previous nu Doctors as she seems to be trying to impersonate Tennant half the time. I'd imagine the plot and scripting often being SJW bingo annoys some people, but most of the episodes have been OK overall. But she has too many companions and no episodes are near being classic picks so far- then again, also no farting green Mr Blobby aliens doing Benny Hill chases either. It's also 100% rumour that she's leaving, there's nothing concrete- but I wouldn't be overly surprised if she did leave since Doctor Who definitely is a disproportionately big commitment, and not for everyone.

It wasn't a phone app thing, it was well before smartphones. There's a bit of information floating around the internets about it, eg here or with more detail, here. IIRC there may have been more than one attempt at a Witcher game prior to CDPR, but that's the one that got vaguely off the ground. There were also a couple of cancelled CDPR Witcher projects like Rise of the White Wolf (W1 for xbox) and a Witcher 1 expansion from some guys who did NWN modules. LOL good summary of the term. Not really, butthurt comes from (depending on source) a child being spanked or haemorhoids (piles). Doesn't have anything to do with homosexuality.

If it actually gets made, which doesn't sound too likely. And really, who could they get to play Khan after Montalban? Not like Rinkydink Pumpkinpatch worked out too well, albeit that was largely the script and JJ wanting to make Star Wars fault instead of his but following on from such an iconic performance certainly didn't help. I can't think of anyone who I'd be confident in doing it well.

OTOH, it's likely that a lot of people who disliked PoE never even tried Deadfire which would depress its numbers, though not relative to the original. To be honest I've barely seen anyone saying that PoE is superior to Deadfire except those who didn't like the change in style (pirates/ world map etc) or starting from level 1 again. I'm not going to vote personally as my answers would change week to week. K2, FONV, AP and MoTB would be difficult to choose between, and Deadfire would be very close as well despite some annoyances like hitting the level cap with a quarter of the game to go. Obsidian's last game had b00bies. Indeed, it had rather more than just b00bies.

It's not like Robert Kotick esquire has any rep to lose with gamers, indeed he seems to enjoy being disliked by them. No one is going to remove management just because gamers hate them or there wouldn't be any management. In which case everyone would be Valve and we'd get tremendous non monetised deep SP games with all the features people want like Artifact instead. The people whose opinion of Bobby K does count care about the share price and dividends, they couldn't care less about any backlash so long as sales hold up, and they read wsj/ ft etc instead of Kotaku or Polygon.

Given the Kosovan response to getting caught trading organs of kidnapped Serbs- literally literally, and high up government officials implicated not Mohammed ibn Random- they shouldn't be anywhere near Interpol membership for the forseeable future. Then again, given the NATO response to Kosovan organ trading, kidnapping, ethnic cleansing and murder was running interference for it and covering it up the monumental butthurt from the west about the possibility of a Russian becoming Interpol's head was also monumentally hypocritical; as if the stupidity of using force to break up countries wasn't enough of a moronic and hypocritical precedent to set. But muh ethnic cleansing, in which 3x as many Serbs died proportionately as Kosovans. Gotta have that one intervention 'success' story though to mitigate all the other times it's been a complete unmitigated disaster though. Favourite fun Kosovo fact: during the refugee crisis the 2nd most refugees didn't come from Iraq or Afghanistan, Kosovo had nearly as many as those two countries, combined. Indeed, they were only just behind fricking Syria. Great success, the best success etc etc. The trend towards weaponising international institutions* is stupid, hypocritical yet hilarious when it doesn't go the way we in the west want even with procedural tricks. *Reminder: the impartial OPCW literally literally (ok, figuratively) buried 40% of the Khan Skeikhoun chemical weapons victims turning up to hospital before the supposed bomb was dropped (and it's still clearly rocket debris) in their appendices, yet- well, as a consequence, since from the west's pov that is Working As Intended- we want them to be able to blame people without UN involvement. That is, literally literally, ignoring causality and if you do that you can blame anyone for anything.

They're doing OK, though as Keyrock said their APU graphics while very good for integrated graphics (eg the 2400G's Vega11 is better than a discrete 1030 when even the best Intel integrated is a joke for gaming) is well below a decent discrete card especially since laptops tend to have bad configurations for Ryzen's design like slow, single channel RAM. Zen 2 and 'proper' chiplet design ought to help with that a fair bit though when low margin laptop chips will get to 7nm will be a bit of a question. In theory chiplet design could mean 580/ 1060 level integrated graphics, but at the moment that's very much in theory. Mobile is also a pretty high inertia market, and Intel has dominated it for ages.

No idea I'm afraid, he died for me as well but I wasn't really paying attention to my cold level so I'm not sure what it was.

I'm not sure there's a single 'fact' there which is actually factual, quite an achievement even for Donald. It actually reads like the justification a 10 year old would give for why his friend punched a 5 year old in the playground. I particularly like the random mention of Khashoggi being Muslim Brotherhood, as if (1) any American should care if he was Ikwhan (which he wasn't) and (2) as if wild and wholly incorrect accusations made as justifications actually are justifications.

Similar, though Hillary actively deleted hers and for all we know (and as much as we know anything) Ivanka's may be sitting in her Sent box ready to be preserved. If half the stuff about Hillary's server was true it was quite thoroughly compromised as groups do nothing other than scan for vulnerabilities let alone target politicians. Wouldn't be surprised if it was used as a spam relay as well. Gmail or Hotmail would have been safer.

Any decent cooler (Cryorig H7 or even a 212 Evo) would be fine with a 8400 and a lot cooler and quieter, but you can just use the Intel stock one. I doubt there will be too many great deals on Intel as they really do have a bit of a supply crunch. The Wraith Stealth cooler which comes with a 2600 isn't great either to be honest, though it's better than the Intel one. If you're serious about video editing Newegg has the 8 core gen 1 Ryzen 1700x for less than the 2600, though the 1700x has no stock cooler. The extra cores also won't help with all video editing software.

Depends on whether she's receiving classified information on it or deleting stuff that needs to be preserved? It wasn't just the receiving emails on her server that was the problem with Hillary, it was why she was doing it that way and what she did with it (and it being unsecure). Hope Donald actually does nominate Ivanka for ambassador to the UN, the reactions would be a thing to behold.

OK, given I'm not in the US my price sense may be a bit off. Graphics wise you'd probably be looking at a 1070Ti or 1080 from nVidia, they're ~5% apart performance wise so there's not much difference. AMD wise you'd be looking at Vega 56 or Vega 64 which are similar performance to 1070Ti and 1080 respectively but use more power- avoid Gigabyte and Asus models if possible. Even the cheaper of those options would be close to $400 though, and a fair few would be above. If you need to get a new monitor and have an idea which one you want also consider the type of adaptive sync which goes with each brand; gsync for nvidia but has a fairly hefty price premium, freesync for AMD does not have a price premium. At that price band 4k/60fps would only be achievable on lower graphics games but they should handle 1440p or 1080 fine. I would not bother considering the new nVidia cards as they're all over $400 and the 2070's RTX abilities are... hmm. CPU wise Intel has shortages and their top end offerings are well above the price performance curve. They still have the absolute performance crown in single threaded applications but you need a Z motherboard, a decent custom cooler and to pay more for the unlocked processor as well. The 8400 is a good mid range option though, as it will work on cheaper motherboards and has a (awful, but 'free') stock cooler. AMD wise 2700X is a pretty good option if you want to do productivity as it overclocks automatically and comes with a good stock cooler, though any of the Ryzens has their pluses and the 2600 will give most of the 2700X's practical performance at half the cost. Gaming wise the CPU doesn't matter that much for mid range builds anyway since nearly everything will be limited by the graphics performance. Note: there are very few ITX Ryzen motherboards, so if you want to use ITX you'll probably be going Intel. You'd probably want 16GB of Ram despite the price. For Ryzen fast RAM is a decent benefit due to how the chip works and here at least 3200Mhz RAM is similarly priced to 2400. For Intel there's very little benefit. Get a SSD of whatever size suits you. You probably won't get much practical benefit going NVMe over SATA, but if the price difference is small NVMe may be worth it. Be aware that 'M2' is just a form factor though, you get slower SATA M2 and faster NVMe M2. There are simply too many motherboards to talk about too much. For Ryzen a good B450 board- eg Tomahawk, MSI's are best this round but avoid their 3 series- is fine even for a 2700X, if you'd use the features of a X470 or think you may want to upgrade later consider them but they are more pricey. Intel wise if you got an unlocked CPU get a Z board, else whatever has the features you want and has reviewed decently. Case etc: whatever suits. Cheap cases from no name brands will work, but probably have bad airflow etc, an ATX case is probably best in general as it doesn't limit motherboard options. Get a good PSU, they don't cost too much more and actually deliver the wattage they claim at decent efficiency and reliability. Check out a CPU tier list eg and pick one from tier 1 or 2.

Are you going to salvage anything from the old build (case/ monitor/ HDD/ CPU cooler/ whatever) or will it be entirely new? Video card recommendation would depend a fair bit on the resolution and refresh rate of the monitor it's to be used with as well. In any case 1080Ti has been discontinued, and is a fair bit over $400 so that's probably off the table.

Dude, obvious troll is obvious.

Have you clicked on the dlc tag? It should then show which dlc you own vs installed via checkboxes. I have found that importing standalone installations into Galaxy tends to have minor issues like achievements not working until you verify the install so I wouldn't be surprised if it was having problems with detecting dlc. There's also global and single game "don't update" settings that I imagine would stop any dlc automatically installing.

Christopher Blair? I may have used that name on occasion, I must admit. Though the last time was 22 (that long, really?) years ago.

I found a decent number of side quests further on in the game. It's definitely possible to get most of the hub quests in chapter 1, though you'd have troubles doing some at low level which offer follow up quests. Having said that I'm not sure there are any gated by chapter which aren't plot related, the gating is mostly being capable of fighting up to Chimera level monsters or high level humans.

Supposedly that's the reason the Saudi Aramco IPO was cancelled as they'd have to disclose oil reserves and be liable for lying. A few places have pretty massive oil reserves- Venezuela and Canada for example- but they're not really economic due to the type of oil they have being too heavy or contaminated. Saudi's is almost entirely sweet light and easy to pump. There's certainly no realistic chance of Trump's US significantly sanctioning Saudi at the moment. Trump thinks Kushner is some sort of Middle East expert and Kushner is basically owned by Muhammed ibn Sawman plus Kushner's a pathetic suck up to Bibi Netanyahu whose biggest goal is getting the US or anyone else (ie Saudi Arabia and friends) to attack Iran for him. Most I can see Trump doing is sanctioning whoever gets executed and declaring how tough he's been. I guess some in Congress may have a try at getting some proper sanctions through but I'm not holding my breath. Some sort of forced settlement in Yemen (and maybe with Qatar) is possible as a sort of punishment though. There comes a point where qat chewing barefoot tribals with AKs and 1960s ATGMs blowing up billions in US weaponry becomes counter productive to sales, and trying to starve 17 million people to death might be a little bit of a PR problem. OTOH a lot of Trump's base both voter and politician wise does reflexively hate Mr Bone Saw and any other Saudi royal over 9/11 and their consistent support of terrorism people who spontaneously and independently become terrorists after receiving moderate Wahhabi teachings. I could see Trump throwing the Saudis under the bus if things really got hot- the tapes get released with a lot of traction, or Kushner falls from favour. Trump isn't the sort to stay loyal when it's costing him.

I've played Thronebreaker and it's OK. Never actually played a card game before but Gwent was pretty good for a minigame so I gave it a go. It's too expensive for what it is, has too many tie ins to the Gwent standalone for a paid product, is too easy and looks kind of cheap too as well as feeling unfinished so I'm not surprised it didn't make expectations. It's also not the best fit for GOG either market wise, even for those playing standalone Gwent it's a departure and for the traditional GOG crowd it has some polarising aspects. Despite that I enjoyed it most of the time and don't regret playing it. OTOH there's no way they wouldn't have made money on it- I'd be surprised if the core team was more than a dozen or so, and it uses Unity too. Indeed, it's just failed to meet expectations rather than failed outright.

I am being triggered by that black text not matching either background. That's better Oh, some actual news? How about some real world performance for nVidia's RTX cards (actually doing raytracing) then?
