No, because it's a 600W card and 8-pin are only rated for 150W each.

Even with 4x 8-pin it's not 100%, because those can also melt.

I have an LG 38GN950-B, 1600p Ultrawide, IPS, 144Hz, and really like it.

For productivity, I think Ultrawide is great. WFH on this is really nice.

For gaming, it's kinda hit-and-miss. Many games just don't support UW, so you're stuck with black bars or have to mess around with mods, fixes or tools. While not a dealbreaker, when I upgrade in a couple of years, I'll probably just go back to 16:9, because of that.

IPS glow is there, but not really noticeable. I'm usually in a well-lit room, so that cancels out any glow I could notice out anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

Germany is weird with the Wolfenstein games

Not anymore. You can buy the non-german Wolfenstein games for a while now (since 2019).

I think I remember that around the release of This War of Mine and Wolfenstein 2, there were some more discussions about just flat out banning Nazi symbols in video games, and treating them as art.

Porn and Hentai games are still pretty much all blocked on Steam, and some gory stuff, which I don't get. You can't buy Dying Light (but you can buy the DLC) on Steam or GOG, but Doom, where you're ripping apart demons, is ok.

I checked, and the stuff about modding is true (you can read the EULA directly on the Steam Store page), however the Skyrim Anniversary EULA says you can only use editors or tools by Bethesda or Zenimax to make mods (if I read that correctly). I don't think anyone really cares in Skyrim, and I don't think anybody will care with Oblivion

I finished DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. Eternal is definitely the better of the two for me, maybe even my favorite in the whole series.

Eternal's campaign was pretty easy this time, since I actually used all of the tools the game gives you. Some of the Master Levels were harder though, especially Taras Nabad. Two fights in that level took me an hour each on Ultra-Violence.

Now I'll play the DLC for the first time.

I just re-played both games in anticipation for Dark Ages.

Doom 2016 only has pickups and chainsaw kill, with limited fuel, to get ammo. There's also a rune for "infinite ammo," and also the Pistol, with infinite ammo.

Eternal is the same, just that the Chainsaw always refills one charge (and no unlimited ammo rune). That's why you get like half (or less) max ammo in the Eternal, compared to 2016, because you're supposed to chainsaw a demon every 30s or something. Also, probably no Pistol because of that.

The straight-up melee does some damage in 2016, like the old games. You could theoretically punch everything to death.

In Eternal, I think it deals no damage at all, and it's just there for the Glory Kill, but you get a special punch for a big damage AoE melee attack.

Glory Kills (melee finishers/execute) on low health demons are the same in both games, there to look cool and give you health.

BTW, I'm not saying you're wrong for liking Doom 2016 more than Eternal. Some people don't want to do the whole song and dance of jumping, dashing, swing bars, quick switch weapons, flamethrower, grenade, grapple, punch, chainsaw, whatever. I like it a lot, and it makes the game a lot more fun for me, compared to the more simple Doom 2016.

How is Doom 2016 better in that regard? Just because the options aren't there?

You can also still play Doom Eternal like the 2016 version. It's gonna be harder, but I basically did in my first playthrough.

I would really like some image quality comparisons, between these cards, when you have to turn down textures.

GPU reviews of course test on the highest settings, so you can see how much performance the cards have, but when the 8GB model craps out in Cyberpunk with Psycho settings or whatever, what are you missing out on with Medium or Low textures. Or are the textures just terrible (not Cyberpunk specifically), and it doesn't even really matter.

Some time ago the internal tools to build levels and campaigns "leaked," so people are working on that, but right now it's mostly textures, cheats, items, changing numbers etc.

Because you're Nintendo.

It would be funny if the reason Nintendo went after the Switch emulators because Switch 2 is the same, and you get playable games in days.

Still trying Baldur's Gate 3 solo Honor Mode. I've died a lot, to all kind of different enemies. Currently, I got a good run going, made it to level 6, still Act 1, but almost done. Hopefully I don't turn off my brain again in a crucial moment and just eat dirt.
