Cryptominers Target AMD Ryzen CPUs for Their Big L3 Caches

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cryptominers-target-amd-ryzen-cpus-for-their-big-l3-caches

"AMD's Zen 3 mainstream processors, such as the Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X, feature up to 64MB of L3 cache. Based on information from the Raptoreum Mining Profitability Calculator, the Ryzen 9 5950X and Ryzen 9 5900X offer up to 4,247 h/s and 3,557 h/s, respectively. The first could net you 205 Raptoreum a day, while the latter delivers up to 172. At $0.0220255 per Raptoreum and utilizing an energy cost of $0.12/kWh, a Ryzen 9 5950X makes around $4.16 a day, while a Ryzen 9 5900X puts in a respectable $3.43. That means the Ryzen 9 5950X ($739) practically pays for itself in 178 days and the Ryzen 9 5900X ($524) in about 153 days. "



Gonna need some Super Copium next year as CPUs gonna dramatically get increased caches...

Funny how there's talks of laws meant to stifle the miners, yet nothing is being done and yet they only grow bolder and more aggressive with what they target to guy up. 

Sure we hear about a coin tanking, but that only seems to happen briefly, and they only end up coming back stronger.

I am half regretting not buying another 3080 when the Evga queue gave me another chance. At this rate, I won't be able to buy another GPU or even another system in a long time so if my 3080 dies, I am fucked. The meme of one day being able to use RGB to mine coin will become a reality at this rate.

Friend of mine on my island here came downtown with me the other day and we somehow managed to find good condition 3060's going for around £600 each, and I'm like "dude, go for it, they ain't going for like 1k+".

It's so rare these days to find a 30 series that isn't way above MSRP prices.

What really sucks is that we have games like New World that bricked some 30 series cards, and with this current climate, those that played it and got bricked were so fucked.

I just hope yours manages to last as long, because I wouldn't want you in that situation. I'm glad I managed to remove one of my busted 1080ti fans and still last this long (since I bought the card in 2017). I'm likely going to have to hold out for the 4000 series at this point (which means I'll have skipped two freakin gens just to get a new card).

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I'm likely going to have to hold out for the 4000 series at this point (which means I'll have skipped two freakin gens just to get a new card). 

Honestly, I'd even consider getting a card even now than later because while the 4000 series is certainly coming, the situation might continue to get worse and worse and a 1080 Ti is certainly getting to that age where it could eventually die out. While getting Ampere when the 4000 series isn't too far away might not be the best idea in normal circumstances, the PC world as we know it is changing.

So I would certainly keep an eye out for a deal or maybe even get yourself in the Evga queue as they do sell 30 series cards for close to AIB MSRP. Cause the last thing you need is your 1080 Ti dying on you and needing to scramble to get a new GPU. Going in the Evga queue is free and when it's your turn and you don't want it, there's no commitment.

Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker will reset your mid-level progress, so level up before it launches
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/final-fantasy-14-endwalker-will-reset-your-mid-level-progress-so-level-up-before-it-launches/
Final Fantasy 14 hosted its 67th Letter from the Producer over the weekend—a livestream from the likes of producer Naoki Yoshida and other team members to provide updates on the game.
Among news like upcoming expansion Endwalker being delayed by two weeks, there was a ton of info about what we can expect when Patch 6.0 does finally land on December 3. Tucked between all the fun nuggets of content was a PSA I very nearly missed—make sure your characters aren't on the brink of levelling up before Endwalker releases.

Unlike many political simulations, which focus on the process of getting elected, This is the President is about what happens after: The game begins in the year 2020, shortly after your election, and rather than worrying about the affairs of the nation, your only concern is dodging responsibility for all the crimes you committed in your pre-president days as a "shady multi-millionaire businessman."

The Game Awards will return as an in-person event for 2021, with an invite-only audience at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and many more watching digitally on more than 40 different streaming platforms worldwide.

GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition radio stations are missing over 40 songs according to Rockstar tracklist
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/gta-trilogy-definitive-edition-radio-stations-are-missing-over-40-songs/
A question that's been on our minds since the announcement of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition is whether the radio stations will have all the same songs as the original versions did. Grand Theft Auto 4 already lost some of its songs due to music licences expiring, so how will the older games fare?

The next SteamWorld game is 3D, co-op, and called Headhunter

Back in May, a financial report revealed there were "several new SteamWorld games" in development, and now here's a first look at one of them. Called SteamWorld Headhunter, it's apparently "a stylised and colourful, third-person co-op action adventure with a head-popping twist." The head-popping seems to be literal, according to the teaser trailer, which shows a wild west shootout between two robots.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition 'modpocalypse' partially averted by a key modder getting early access
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/skyrim-anniversary-edition-modpocalypse-partially-averted-by-a-key-modder-getting-early-access/
The latest named version of The Elder Scrolls V is now out in the wild as Skyrim Anniversary Edition. Which means that everyone can now get on with piecing back together their custom version of the game complete with all their favorite Skyrim mods installed. Mostly, anyhow. Skyrim Script Extender, one of the cornerstone mods required by many, many other Skyrim mods, was preparing for a full-on "modpocalypse." Fortunately, Bethesda gave early access to the Skyrim Anniversary Edition to the developers of SKSE, who say that the outlook for the Skyrim Special Edition modding scene is now "better than expected."
