I do not; it's just what I remember being discussed years ago when they were new on the scene. They didn't need to be hot but it was something about them running better at like 50-70C than at 40C. Could have just been for a certain controller as well.

From what I remember, it's actually good for performance for the controller to run "hot" and the NAND to run cool. I'm not sure if it really has an impact; I just remember it being talked about in the early days of NVMe.

I'm pumped. Took off Thursday through Monday so I could no life this.

I don't completely agree with that. I 'upgraded' from a 5900X to a 5800X3D when I had a 2080Ti and there was a noticeable uplift in more games than you might expect at 3440x1440. Obviously it depends on the game but the X3D improved the minimum framerates for me by quite a large margin in some...

The placeholder art during the Hades 1 EA was still better than it is here, IMO.

I've put 2.5 hours into it so far. It's pretty good but it's not gripping my like Hades 1 did. Might be because I've played so many rogue-lites since then or maybe it's because I've been playing Tiny Rogues recently and it has all of the rogue-lite aspects that I love (diverse builds, lots of...

My Gigabyte X570 board has PBO/CO exposed for the x3d.

Ubi is apparently removing licenses in order to totally kill the game even after the servers were shutdown. There appears to be a workaround at least but who knows if Ubi will try to stop that as well...

Not great at the time? I had the SDR and it slayed Quake 3 when it released; IIRC it was a huge upgrade over the TNT.

Not caring about RT is a legitimate stance for anyone to have. BUT I enjoy being able to use it when it's there and RDNA3 not really allowing me to legitimately use it any more than my 2 gen old Turing card did is just a bit disappointing. It was more of a sidegrade than a straight upgrade since...

As someone who's had a 7900XT for a little over a month now I wish I would have returned it and gone with a 4070TiS or splurged for a 4080S. The AMD GPU is fine until you decide to max a game's settings only to find it has RT and you're reduced to unplayable framerates unless you enable FSR...

Just wait a few years and you'll be able to buy the fully functional Division Remastered for only $90.

Ehh, Steamdesk runs a custom version of Wayland. And the distro I use is based on Arch and uses the Arch repositories for such things; it's just customized with 'gaming focused' kernel settings, installed apps, and such.

Probably more odd that it's running for you; or they updated it. I had to go ProtonDB to find the info on how to fix it in the first place.
