Uplay gets free games, similar to Origin's "on the House": https://club.ubi.com/#!/de-DE/ubi30

It starts with "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time"

Thanks!

I'm always open to free games .

 

By the way, there's something about the Xbox conference that I noticed and want to talk about here. It's about the Scorpio console.

During the "announcement" of the machine, the only two bits of data MSoft shared were those 6TFlops of compute power and a memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s.

Now, what most of us assumed was that these new machines (Scorpio and PS Neo) would feature a Polaris 10 chip, probably the one in the RX 480. The 6TFlops figure kind of confirms that, as the 480 with 2304 shaders running at 1,266 MHz delivers 5.8 TFlops, but the RX 480 has a 256 GB/s memory bandwidth, a lot slower than the quoted 320GB/s.

The question is: does it mean that MSoft is using an unknown GPU from AMD? Or the answer is simpler than that, and it's just that MSoft will use the RX 480 chip but with GDDR5X instead of the regular GDDR5 that the card will use? And if that's the case, does it mean that AIB partners could launch RX 480 variants with the faster GDDR5X memory?

Probably PS Neo will use a Polaris-based SoC and Scorpio will use a small version of a Vega-based SoC or a Zen/Polaris based SoC.
