Has it been posted here yet regarding the first month of XBOX Game Pass PC for only 1 dollar? Considering the leaks and rumours about the lineup (I won't mention here due to people wanting to avoid spoilers, but it's easy to find) and the cost going forward, I've taken the plunge and subscribed.

Spoilers on Games below:

Spoiler!

The list isn't rumours - https://gg.deals/no/blog/full-list-of-xbox-game-pass-for-pc/

You can click on each game and it's goes to the official Xbox site and they are listed for PC Game Pass.

Considering a years sub is £45 (with the £1 offer)and Metro Exodus alone is more than that it's incredible value. If the new storefront is good then MS could find some big success with this.

Not only the first month, if you already have GamePass.

I subscribed to 3 months GamePass for €1 last month (May 14th - August 13th). With the €1 upgrade to GamePass Ultimate, they added a fourth month (now ending September 12th) and I can use all Ultimate features beginning today... so I got 4 months Xbox GamePass, 3 months XBL Gold and 3 months PC GamePass for only €2 in total:

Looks like someone at AMD couldn't wait any longer and has leaked some of the info AMD will announce later today to Videocardz:

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X to become world’s first 16-core gaming CPU
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-3950x-to-become-worlds-first-16-core-gaming-cpu
According to a slide we received today, AMD will launch Ryzen 9 3950X as world’s first 16-core mainstream processor. The slide basically “confirms” the speculation which began at Ryzen 3000 announcement at Computex.

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X would utilize all available cores from both dies. It would preserve the TDP from Ryzen 9 3900X which features 12 cores but at the cost of a lower base clock. This AM4 processor is supposedly a 105W TDP part.

The 3950X features a boost clock of 4.7 GHz, the highest from all Ryzen 3000 CPUs. The pricing and availability date have not yet been confirmed.

(there's a pic of the leaked slide, but I can't copy it here)

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT picture and specs leaked
https://videocardz.com/80966/amd-radeon-rx-5700-xt-picture-and-specs-leaked
We have received, what appears to be, a slide from tomorrow’s official announcement of Radeon RX 5700 series.

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT features 40 Compute Units (2560 stream processors). The Navi GPU is clocked at 1605 MHz in base mode, 1755 MHz in Game Mode and 1905 MHz in boost mode. Of course, the new addition here is the Game Clock.

The card is confirmed to feature 8GB of GDDR6 memory.

It does seem to have a blower cooler, so it's either watercooled or the power consumption won't be as bad as we thought (or the image is just a placeholder).

Decent price for Halo on PC.

Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo Reach - $10 each. Halo ODST - $5. Same price on both MS Store and Steam.

So works out at $55 for the lot, which is ok. But it's nice that they're reasonably priced separately if there's any you don't want. I.E if you only want to play 3 or Reach you can pay $10 instead of full price for ones you don't want. And of course they'll all be included with gamepass.

Hm...this SSD thing in both consoles...I'm thinking it can really make a diference.

Now, all that talk about loading times...honestly, don't give a rats ass about it...but, navigating through massive voxel octrees on the other hand...
To be honest, my knowledge about it is fairly superficial, but IIRC something like decent sized cathedral with 5mm presicion takes around 5.5GB of voxel data.

Perhaps worlds I've been waiting for quite some time are closer than I've imagined...

Expected from Polaris's successor.

Pretty decent Prices and how late ports should be done unlike Square Enix and their £50 late ports. I wish they did a complete collection you could buy and save $5-10 on them though.

They probably will, but after they've all come out. Which isn't very useful. Should have done a "season pass" type thing. Still I'll just get it on gamepass probably so doesn't matter for me.
