I've stored IC diamond and Arctic Silver 5 for years and used them sporadically over time and they've been fine. Are you going to get "peak performance" out of that tube? No. But if you're not a stickler about those extra 2-3c then it won't really matter.

Bit of a shame AL+ just went away. AMD should have popped a warning advising it might cause issues with some anti-cheat systems and then let the users sort it out. I'm always good with a driver level option that sits alongside game level integration. Plenty of older stuff can make use of the...

Nice to be reminded sometimes of all the *not* bleeding edge TSMC fabs out there that form that form the bedrock of the entire modern electronics industry.

Ah, the "punk-like" management/sim subgenre...

It's getting to a point where the words "exciting" "new" and "survival" don't belong in a sentence together. Ok this trend is done, what's the next gaming genre to have a revival/refresh and then get bled dry?

Hellblade 1 was a fantastic game: beautiful, short, bittersweet. Perfect pallet cleanser between beefier titles. Curious to see how this would perform/look with proper RT, the software implementation is obviously because the game is already a dog to run and HWRT would be wasted. I imagine...

- I would have said WB was the most competent movie IP translator of all time until Suicide Squad happened. Granted I haven't played it, and I'd bet its probably a really great example of the genre its meant to play in, its just that GAAS games just sort of suck ass out of principle. Granted, I...

- I never even wasted my time with the DX12 wrapper version of the game, you can launch in DX11 and keep the upgraded textures which is where a lot of the visual improvement comes from. Runs blazingly fast, rock solid and stable. 0 complaints.

-Its why I was able to stay on my 980ti for so long. Between patient gaming and being drawn to more indie titles, I just wasn't running into anything that really *needed* the upgrade. Finally ended up making a new build with my 6800xt... Just because. Turned it into a game scrounging for the...

Good on Intel pushing forward with their driver updates, basically the only thing that reminds me that Intel and DGPUs are still a thing. Battlemage cannot come soon enough (presuming the rumors that it was cancelled are not true/only partially true).

- AMD is definitely punching up in this title (and most PS/Nixxus ports) but let's not get carried away here. This is the exception, not the rule.

I thought the big takeaway from this poll is that TPU readers spend a lot of money on their GPUs. It doesn't say anything about what the general public does. Got a buddy doing 4K gaming on his 1650S...

I'm sure I'll pick it up someday, but I just want more Homeworld 1 style missions that are more like puzzles than the fast paced style of the second game, and everything I'm reading is the game is more like HW2 than 1. I loved weird missions like the Deep Space array, and the radiation belts...

Shadow of War is just so damn good. Glad I missed the MTX drama cause this game is like heroin. Patient Gamers untie!
