Sunset Overdrive was an Insomniac game that was exclusive to the 360.

They're telling me Oct 12. I'm not sure I believe it though. This will be a grand experiment. If it bears fruit, future generations of D1P may also use this economical strategy of upgrading their entire computer when they want a new hard-to-get video card!

I'm kinda close to going that route, but I do enjoy the building process! Which vendor did you end up going with?

 I do actually need the rest of the PC too because my current one would be too much of a bottle neck.

 

Got a 3900x, 32GB of RAM, and a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drive.

Curious what the est ship date is (and what PC vendor)? Saw a prebuilt machine that included a 3080 but the delivery date was end of October...

I managed to get my 3080 FTW step up reserved.  I built a new pc in August with an EVGA 2070Super.  Took a gamble that I'd be able to step up to the 3080, and it worked.  I wasn't expecting the FTW edition though.  Now I just have to wait in queue for mine, but I'm guaranteed to get it.

Congrats! Any idea on what your turn around time might be?

Don't even peep what they're selling for over on eBay. smdh 

LG 55" C9

How are you all ordering your cards? Directly from the Nvidia store? Newegg? Amazon? 

How much of a bottleneck do we think a 4770K (stock) + 32GB RAM + 512GB M.2 NVMe would be to pair with a 3090 for 4K gaming?  Currently on a 1080 Ti that does well at 1440p with high+ultra settings. Really struggles with 4K for the most part though. 

I've been on the fence about waiting for Zen 3 to build a new system, but a whole new build + 3090 might break the bank a bit harder than I'd like to at the moment. Then again, it is the apocalypse so... YOLO? 

Full Throttle 2 maybe?

450-500 still cheaper than the 600 I paid for a PS3

Factoring in inflation, $600 in 2006 = $767 in 2020.

$450-500 ain't too bad!  

I could go either way on the first person. I thoroughly enjoyed both REVII and RE2 Remake and their use of first and third person, respectively. Ultimately, it'll come down to how well it's executed.

Pixel shift has been around since Plasmas and  isn't anything special. Even without peak brightness, you're going to get burn-in over time as, unlike CRTs and Plasmas, it's not about the image being on screen unchanged for x-amount of hours, it has to do with how often the image is displayed in the same spot in addition to the length of time being shown. If you're not on it much for desktop use, you'll probably be fine, though.

That's fair, though from my research, brightness and contrast (particularly red on white) are really big factors. I hide my desktop icons, auto-hide my taskbar, and have a ~700 image library cycle through my desktop for my wallpaper background. If I'm leaving my room for more than five min, I also shut the display off.

I would highly suggest not using an OLED for a monitor, unless you just switch to it for gaming.

Eh, I've done the research and honestly I'm not that concerned for my use case scenario. For one thing I like to keep my room somewhat dimly lit, so I'm really not pushing peak brightness or anything. Also the C9 has some great features for preventing burn in, such as a 'pixel shift' mode that subtly shifts the pixels over in a different direction so they're not constantly displaying the same color. That combined with some great power saving and brightness adjusting features have quelled my fears.

Got the 55" C9 a few weeks ago for $1500 at the local Microcenter. Completely thrilled with the display, but it is a tad too big to use comfortably at my desk. Controller games are fine cuz I can back up as much as I need to, but for kb/m games and general purpose computing it is just barely too big for comfort. The image quality is worth it though and is a massive upgrade over my 40" 4K non-hdr VA-panel korean monitor it's replacing.

Rumor has it LG is releasing a 48" variant next year (all but confirmed for Euro and Asian markets; US somewhat unclear). I think I may swap to that for the desk and put this fellow in the living room if the price is right.

I didn't get a lot of play time with it but I tried GTA at 1440/120 and it felt butter smooth. 

How well does 1440 scale on the C9? Does text read well?

Also, does HDR work at 120Hz?

I highly recommend the Brutal Doom 64 mod for PC, assuming it's compatible with this release.

I think I'm gonna purchase a C9 in a few weeks 

Have been getting the itch as well, but might wait for Black Friday if any deals pop up. 

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Sundered

...That changed on Friday with the release of a free, and largely authentic, replica of the experience. Unreal PT is now available for Windows PCs, and it offers a nearly identical playthrough of the PS4 original. Ars has played through the 1.6GB experience and confirmed that it delivers a remarkable version of the Hideo Kojima original.

Can be downloaded here

Never got a chance to play the original. Looking forward to trying it out.

Maybe a sequel to Alien Isolation.

Absolutely loved the first. It wasn't perfect, but I found it utterly enthralling.

*AMD GPU also required. Still pretty neat!

Previously they used: GT>GTS>GS>SE.

Can't forget the good ol' "Ultra" cards as well (yeah yeah, not an abbreviation, but still).

Why would that be called a gameplay trailer? I'm all over this game but there was little to no gameplay in that trailer at all.

 

Seriously.

Dunkey'd

These aren't PC exclusive or anything, but here's a shortlist of games that have piqued my interest:

The Last Night
Praey for the Gods
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
Blasphemous

Witchfire
Atomic Heart

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Ori and the Will of the Wisps
