  1. Expectation is a 2019 and a 2020 first round pick. Because he wouldn't report to camp and wants QB money. Editted: "The Bears gave up first-round picks in 2019 and 2020, a third-round pick in 2020 and a sixth-round pick in 2019, the source said. In addition to Mack, Chicago also gets a second-round pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2020."
  2. Paying $22M for a defensive player (and $25M+ for a QB) does not leave enough money to have a competitive team. I love(d) having Mack to cheer for, but 2 first round picks +$25M of cap room...
  3. Based on the rumours, I agree that they will likely launch a chip on 2019, but I haven't seen anything that makes me think it will be a GeForce gaming GPU. A x2 or x4 performance increase in 2 years is unlikely until we get to a new chip technology.
  4. After watching 4 minutes of that review, I am convinced of 2 things: 1) I never want to watch a review done by this guy 2) I probably never want to play a Dragon Quest game But I guess I will never know.
  5. Once you go Black, you can’t go back.
  6. Do we have any evidence that NVidia will use 7nm for gaming GPUs in 2019?
  7. Yes. If someone had returned it within 30 days, they could have.
  8. According to Asus, a panel is not defective until it has 5 dead pixels.
  9. I had heard that Onrush completely failed to sell at all (heard something in the order of 1,000 UK physical sales in the first week). Putting it in GamePass was clearly an attempt to recoup some revenue. It does require that you purchase Game Pass. $10/month
  10. So it was OK to sell for $60 a couple of years ago, but not good enough to give a way for free in their subscription service?
  11. I buy tons of refurbished stuff -- but haven't been willing to touch anything with a screen on it (as I have had friends burned by it) -- I suspect many are returned because of dead/stuck pixels. Asus refurbishing them, will not fix those dead pixels -- most monitor manufacturers see a couple of dead pixels as "normal".
  12. No. But, you may be crazy to buy a refurbished monitor if it doesn't have a return policy that lets you return it if it has dead pixels.
  13. Inside Battlefield 5: GeForce RTX's most impressive ray tracing showcase "It's also important to remember that this is just the beginning and given tools as powerful as Turing's ray tracing technology, DICE is looking towards a future of rich possibilities. For example, the team mentioned experimenting with ray traced ambient occlusion and even the very novel idea of using the BVH structure for GPU particles - meaning that those particles would have perfect placement in the world regardless of the camera location, which could allow for the acceleration of unique effects never seen before in games. But the big deal here overall is that instead of approximating or faking very important real-time effects in their titles, DICE now has access to realistic reflections along with associated behaviours that are a natural fallout from the ray tracing itself. But equally, RTX on Battlefield 5 right now is still very much first generation work - in effect, the ray tracing toolbox has only just been opened. However, with results as impressive as this appearing out of the gate, I'm really enthusiastic about the technology, even though this is just the beginning. The future's looking bright - and exceptionally shiny."
