Jokes on you, the single player campaign is where you have two missions that hinge on your ability to find duct tape, broken glass, "chemicals", and other materials to put together the most hodge podge nonsense lol

They seem to have some impressive performance. The way they're approaching their product marketing, and their responses when called on it both reinforce the 'not gonna buy nVidia' thing I have (and I can't even remember why any more)
to be fair, the standard molex connectors that are standard computer power are horrific in high power circumstances.

they really need to ship with a better style connector.

The R/C industry discovered and solved this very issue (and has found multiple alternatives over the years) - though some of those connectors would be considered FAR too large in this use case, they also have to handle >100amp peak (perhaps more) if I remember right. And the early solutions were still industry standard connectors (sermos-anderson power pole - though I see those rated at different current levels and they may not be up to modern brushless motors).
Brand new in-spec molex are actually reasonably capable... but every time a component is swapped they get worse... and of course the failing connectors in question were probably only plugged in once or twice.

^exactly the market i was thinking of. there were a lot of guy's that had issues with the molex connectors back in the 80's. i'm really quite impressed that the standard has held so long for pc's given the newer power advancements.

not a problem for me. first playthrough is always on easy. i'll go back and try the moderate/impossible modes.

These are for AMD reference cards:
RX 7900 XTX USD$999
RX 7900 XT USD$899

I think those prices look pretty good.

Two generations ago that was an insane price... Yet now it seems cheap!

I thought maybe it was just me on a budget! Not priced to tempt me to upgrade from a 6800xt. I waited so long to get that because I had a card failure prompting the purchase of an RX580 just as the crypto price surge on that model was starting to diminish - think it cost me $350... which does seem almost cheap now... sigh. Back to work I guess. Maybe I can afford a video card even if I can't afford to retire.
Probably won't be able to afford a car for much longer... even sitting in the garage unused!

Remember when you could buy a pretty potent gaming PC for the price of what a graphics card costs today? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Yeah... I guess we should talk about motherboard pricing too. What a mess.

pre-covid, i was buying used-but-complete laptops with great specs for under $200.

now anything with an i7 is at least $500...
