Good idea, but it could be improved. EVGA put the power connector at the end of the card years ago, and it's surprising that others haven't followed that path. Also, if you're going to put it in the middle of the card, at least put it at an angle so you won't have to turn the cables 90º once you hit the motherboard.

But well, at least it looks clean, and it's a better solution than ASUS's propietary mobo power headers.

So the only game that's still crap is the only EA game? For some reason, I'm not surprised.

I hope they do better than that with Jedi: Survivor.

I'm torn with the Sonic game. The 3D models don't have the charm of the 2D ones, and the camera seems to get too close from time to time to be able to see where you're going.

It's a bit like the new Prince of Persia, that looks more like a 2D Immortals Fenyx Rising, than a PoP game.

I gave up on Final Fantasy a long time ago, their exclusivities no longer bother me.

Well, no wonder they're selling more $699 cards than before! Every Ada GPU they're launched so far except the 4070 and 4060Ti are priced at that point or above.

I swear, between the Korean rating board, the MSoft store and the idiots that post tweets too soon, half the new games we find out about come from leaks rather than announcements.

I'm fine with that lol

Their chart claims PC gaming is getting "stronger", yet the Steam hw survey is telling a completely different story.

Does Nvidia assume literally any GPU bought is strictly used only for PC gaming, or are they still ignoring people buying GPU's for rendering/Crypto these days and thinking literally everyone is buying 4090's just for gaming?.

PC gaming in Nvidia's case won't be getting "stronger" till at least next gen, assuming prices actually do start to drop, but even then, I won't really consider it strong, if we see another 2-5 gens of fake frame shit and DLSS reliance. Call me back when we've gone back to elbow and grease benches nvidia, then we'll talk about actual strength gains. 

Well I think it's just based on how many user growth steam has and whatever data newzoo is providing them with. Not necessarily about their gpus.

Then it makes no sense for them to chart other hw that isn't their own and claim it's getting stronger in relation to them with their products.

Well charts like this is mostly for investors than anything else. They are showing shareholders and such that PC gaming is still growing so it's worth continued investments instead of going full on muh Ai.

Hence the "During the Bank of America Global Technology Conference, NVIDIA"s SVP of Gaming, Jeff Fisher, sat down to discuss the state of the GeForce gaming segment & what we can expect in the years ahead of us" etc.

Is it telling a different story?

• concurrent user peak has gone up over 50% since 2020 (from 20 to over 30 million concurrent users).
• concurrent Steam gamers in-game has also gone up ~50% since 2020 (from 6 to 9 million concurrent users in-game).
• within the growing userbase Nvidia kept its share of ~75%
• PC games revenue has also grown the last few years

Steam summer sale starts June 29th this year according to SteamDB.


Anyone planning to buying anything specific?

Depends on the discount amount but I have my eyes on Pockey and Rocky Reshrined, Megaman Battle Network, Planet Lana, and Warhammer Boltgun. Certainly will put my 4090 through a workout for sure.
