A new historic low for EVGA’s much-loved FTW3 Ultra model. Today, the beefy GPU has appeared for just $889 at Newegg, a healthy $110 reduction.

Play the Backpack Hero demo, it’s great! you’ve got the option to play the Backpack Hero demo in your browseron Itch.io. But it’s all about that inventory Tetris. In most dungeon crawlers this build would be a mess. To get far in Backpack Hero, you better build for bonuses and synergies. Many items buffs nearby items of a certain punch in, so you want those next to each other. Wait, but this gem will buff weapons it touches, so arrange them together....

Each level is a course with straights and corners and demons. The game is an FPS for perfectionists and speed junkies who want to look cool. It’s quite literally a time attack with a learning curve that’s worth investing in. Rally games likeWRC 10orDiRT Rally 2.0are more complex than you’d think. Warstride is an FPS where you’re forever engaged in a sprint finish. Levels are sporting events, unconcerned with story and character development and whatever else....

Apologies in advance if this is not the most action-packed hardware review youve ever read. Actually, there is one unusual thing about the Legion 5. This restrained approach has informed the design as much as anything. Still, at least it works well enough to stop the keyboard getting too toasty. Albeit a dinky one. As such, its got enough more than enough punch for AAA work. Not every game will suit its maximum controls, asMetro Exodusdemonstrated....

There are two teams: the Ghosts, and the Hunters. The game is already out on Steam Early Access, and has been for a few weeks now. But its also got a fair few more bells and whistles than other Prop Hunt-likes that Ive come across. And judging from all the yelps and shouting, Id say we had a good time. Ollie:Lets start at the beginning. How did we all get on in the opening moments of Midnight Ghost Hunt?...

Another one for the Embracer Group Perfect World Entertainmenthave announcedthat theyre now known as Gearbox Publishing. Or Gearbox Publishing have announced that theyre no longer Perfect World Entertainment. Theyre all part of the Embracer Group, ysee. Embracer went Christmas shopping in December tobuy Perfect World, along with Dark Horse Comics and some other companies. In August theygrabbed 3D Realms. Theyre still picking up companies too. Just last weekEmbracer acquired Lost Boys Interactive, which will act as a subsidiary of Gearbox Software....

And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. After a year away, Screenshot Saturday Sundays returns on a new day. The ghost stood in the road, wavering gently, staring straight ahead for a good five minutes. I do appreciate these jumpgate animations from open-world space shooterUnderspace: Reanimating some jumpgates. Get me away from this slime guy before he hits me with that massive spoon!

Beyond ‘is this particular model of GPU any good? ‘, the next pertinent question is ‘is this GPU any good?’ The answer is a little complicated. However, that only applies when the graphics cards are actually available to order at their UK RRP. The 3070 Ti also comes with faster GDDR6X memory, rated at 608GB/s versus 448GB/s on the vanilla 3070. That allows for better performance, but also a bit more heat production....

Nearly $20 off a great value NVMe SSD rated up to 3500MB/s. Normally, you expect high-performance NVMe SSDs, whether 3.0 or 4.0, to draw a lot of power.

Strap on your pointiest hats in August Who doesnt want to go to wizard school? This probably won’t be the only course on offer.

Ubisoft have nowoffered up registration for testing and updatesthrough Ubisoft Connect. Project Q will presumably be given a better name before release, like NotFite or something. Oh, and that theresno plan to implement NFTs. Ghost Recon Breakpoint playerswerent too keenon Ubisoft Quartz, Ubisofts first attempt at introducing NFTs into their games. Apparently, Ubisoft think peopledont getthe appeal of blockchain. The existence of Project Q has leaked what seems like umpteen times since the tail end of last year....

I mean, what more could you possibly want?

Finally, we rounded out the day by attending Shirley Curry’s panel about her journey withSkyrim. And that about closes out our third day at PAX East 2022. We’ve got plenty more up our sleeve, so stay tuned to see what’s coming up.
