Isn't it an impressive world? It's the best part of the game.

I mean it's cool to snoop around and such. But overall it feels like a more modern version of Deux Ex.

I totally agree. There have been a few times when I've thought they have ripped off Deus Ex.

Just to elaborate on what I said earlier. Visually, the world is a masterpiece. The game, not so much.

Strong agree here. The world they have created is amazing. The story, meh, it's enough to keep my attention.

I have had moments of just driving around in my Quadra taking in the world.

I blame the auto correct and being a bit under the influence.
Anywho to clear up, if you plan to use the xmp speed on your ram, some motherboards like MSI have a hit or miss with it. Since there is tons of ram kits out there not every brand can hit the speeds you bought it for. Mostly due to boad limits, or just unsupported higher speed ram kits.
Did that clear things up?

I'm pretty impressed with the BeQuiet 120mm AIO. Even during gaming on CP2077, my temps hardly go passed 70C with the average around 66C. Mind you this is me going off people talking about how 85C is considered too "hot" for an AMD Ryzen 7.

I probably wouldn't want my CPU sitting at or above 85C for too long either. Then again I have an older OCed Intel so things are a bit different. Is CP that taxing on the CPU?

Not from what I've seen

85 is pretty hot for any CPU.

The only comparison I have on a newer game is RDR2 on 1440p max settings on a 2070 Super OC with a Ryzen 5 2600 OC with a Cooler Master AIO my temps never go above 50c they pretty much stay at 40-50c

If any CPU is getting that hot might be time to reapply new thermal paste.

Oh I know 85c is hot. I'm just saying how the AIO cooler does a good job keeping the temps well below that

So I just learned there were tarriff exemptions on graphics cards that expired January 1. The card I was planning on getting is now $120 more...

Yep. Same story I had when I was shopping for my GPU back in '19. The 2070 super I got for $490 from Best Buy. A few weeks later when the tariffs hit was $100 more. Then about a month later prices did lower and it was floating around $520.

So, just wait a few weeks/months. If you can.

I've just purchased Valhalla. I was desperate for something new to play. I am expecting a reasonable game with much exploring to do. I do think Ubisoft does open worlds quite well with just enough story to tie things together. I am disappointed to read that there isn't much assassination to do. That is, no more sneaking about which is something I quite enjoy.

I have finished my second complete play through of 2077 and I've had enough of the game after 193 hours. I won't uninstall it yet (I remove games I am no longer playing) because I will probably get the urge to visit the city again but probably won't stay long.
