Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Bro I been hearing good reviews for it!  
Also, 1660Ti laptop and desktop are much closer in terms of performance, unlike the 20 / 30 series.

@tehwatever  
You would basically need a 20 or 30 series RTX card these days if you plan on gaming at 4K with high settings. Specifically the RTX 2070 at least.

@Goku Black  
The laptop RTX aren’t even worth it until their price drops, because laptop resellers charge you the same or even higher price for a NERFED card.
 
2070 desktop can pull up to 225W.  
2070 laptop is capped at 115W.  
2070 Max-Q caps you at 85W!!
 
Reason is obviously to prevent your card from melting. The small form factor of a laptop don’t allow for virtually any cooling so in order to keep your card cool they need to make sure it isn’t running at desktop performance. Hence the nerf. Case in point, a full power 2060 desktop can outperform a 2070 laptop. That isn’t okay.
 
BUT, 1660Ti Desktop can pull up to 125W, and Laptop can pull up to 85W. The performance difference between 1660Ti desktop and laptop therefore, isn’t that huge.
 
So yes while you need at least a 2060 to play in 4K of any capacity, when your native screen is a Full HD 120 Hz and you’re not planning any 4K gaming then…1660Ti is currently still the best option for the money.

@tehwatever  
I usually pay more attention to the desktop cards, since I do most of my PC gaming on a desktop PC. A laptop, ideally, should be a secondary rig only. But hey, to each their own.

@Goku Black  
Well, the BP was talking about the new laptop he ordered so I thought you was talking about the same thing.

i did try and upgrade the video card to the 2020, but the guy said just the card was over 1k.
 
apparently theres a shortage or something.

Madarame’s palace? Defeated.
 
Nemesis? Killed and mutilated.
 
N. Brio? N.Capacitated.
 
I’ve accomplished a lot this past week.

@Background Pony #8BC9  
I can confirm. I had to pay almost $200 on eBay for a GTX 1050Ti (to put in another rig) when normally it’s probably worth closer to $150.

@Background Pony #8BC9  
The shortage crisis is REAL. I was lurking in reddit and forums just reading users who represent resellers telling people NOT TO PREORDER because they don’t even have any ETA for their stuff.
 
In fact. last year I called Lenovo Spain in November asking if they have the Lenovo 5 Ryzen 4800H 1660 Ti listing at under 1k. They didn’t have it. They have it now though.

im just glad i got the thing.
 
i know.. jack about comp parts/stats so had to research and ask for help on ..all of it.
 
but its gonna be.. waay stronger then my old one, as it was.. 8 years old? maybe older. it had win 8.1 on it.

Not sure where to post this…
 

 
…But holy hell, I can imagine this as a trailer.

Welp, that sounds like trash.

Kill me now.

I’m cringe-lauhing so hard right now. I’m deceased.

I DID IT! I got all 100 Jiggies and all 900 Notes in Banjo-Kazooie!

Hey, it looks like Steven Universe: Unleash the Light is finally being released on other consoles.
 
Aka the only good thing to come out of the series in the past couple of years.

I’m finally playing Chrono Trigger.

@WyrmSpawN  
Ahhh the best timetravel RPG ever.

@igotnopicks  
I’m actually surprised how quick it is to jump into that.

@WyrmSpawN  
Oh right. Your beginning quest is that.

@WyrmSpawN  
At least it doesn’t hide it, it sounds like.

@Meanlucario  
It doesn’t shy away from it like Ocarina of Time does and it has multiple endings depending on how you finished the game.

@igotnopicks
 
“Finish” being the operative word, since I’ve been told the endings are apparently only dependent on ”when” you beat the final boss?

I’m fixin’ for some buckshots.
