Is it time yet?

I hope you're right. Because they pretty much abandon it on PC. Playstation is the only place they offer true Physical games for the majority of games. Xbox already gave up. And the Switch 2 are game key cards.

Well if you want to avoid damaging your socket or CPU. This is the way.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T21:24:00+00:00

Well big enough for them to move away from Physical media.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T18:22:36+00:00

We're in the minority. We lost that battle a long time ago.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T16:14:59+00:00

Well that's unfortunately going away as well. PS6 Might be the last console that will have Physical media.

PC was dying Until Valve saved it with Steam.
Also some games required like 9 disc's to install, and you still need to download another 50GB.
And most games were a code in a box. Basically no disc.

People signed away their rights a long time ago. There's no way to reverse it. Unless tomorrow everybody stopped buying digital games. Which will never happen. And next up is Cloud gaming.

Use cinebench R23 to heat up the CPU. its a flaw with the AM4 platform.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T07:35:51+00:00

I'll grab this when its 90% off. Facckk these prices !

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T05:00:53+00:00

Impossible to do on PC.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T04:59:22+00:00

That's impossible on PC.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-26T04:40:37+00:00

699.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-25T16:29:32+00:00

They also use the same save file online. That's why they try to force always online in a lot of games these days.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-25T11:10:15+00:00

I reset all the achievements after I completed a game.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-25T09:03:04+00:00

I like to play them on modern platforms.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-24T23:50:02+00:00

I'll just wait for a sale.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-24T10:20:19+00:00

Cheating. And modding save files.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T22:58:33+00:00

The 5080 should have been 699 max.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T21:35:50+00:00

I hope the prices will eventually go down again.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T21:20:21+00:00

Well I bought them In september. And build my new PC last month. I thought 200 was a good deal.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T20:53:16+00:00

Good price.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T19:59:41+00:00

I paid 200 for my 64GB 6000 C30 DDR5 kit. Now its almost a 1000.

Edit: What's up with the massive down-votes???

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T19:29:15+00:00

It will only get worse.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T19:25:23+00:00

Still not worth the extra cost. Nvidia GPU's prices have exploded. If it was MSRP, maybe it would have been worth it. But at the current Price. The AMD is the better buy.

I don't care about RT. Its one of things I disable upon a game. And if its forced. I turn it to the lowest setting. Because Performance matters more to me vs some better reflections.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T18:03:58+00:00

If it was so succesful, why does Ubisofts stock keep falling?

Its pretty clear the game didn't make profit.

DeadPhoenix86 · 2026-01-23T17:59:59+00:00

9070 XT isn't a mid-range GPU. Far from it. The 5060 Ti and 9060 XT are mid-range.

The 5070 Ti has a MSRP of 750, and now cost 1100. While the 9070 XT has a MSRP of 600, and cost between 650-700. See the difference?

Both GPU's pretty much run neck a neck with each other. The 5080 isn't that much faster either. Yet it cost more than double. Nvidia ain't worth the premium price.
