As long as we’re going in 1 year increments, Final Fantasy XI is 1 year older than EVE Online and still going

Super effective slop filter you say? Sign me the fuck up!

Is hardcore mode where if the computer crashes it automatically deletes any files you had and resets the OS to a clean slate?

It’s like they went out of their way to make seemingly the worst thermal paste possible

Saddle sold separately for just $5.99 a month plus a one-time fee of $15.99 + tax, processing, and S&H.

Makes sense to me, I’ve long believed that games shouldn’t be announced more than 6 months from release

My condolences on your imminent starvation

“Sorry, best I can do is some half-assed magic tricks”

There is one RPG missing from the list in the form of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This is because the game’s publisher currently doesn’t share data with GSD.

That’s a shame, it deserves to be #1 imo but I guess we won’t know

Can it run Crysis? Only if you already bought it.

Analysis based on GN benchmarks
It appears to basically be a downclocked 5600X3D, so the 5500X3D will definitely fall short of the performance of AM5 X3D CPUs, given that the weakest of that bunch, the 7600X3D, outperforms the 5600X3D from 3-12% in gaming and 12-24% in productivity.

The amount of downclocking is pretty similar to that of the 5700X3D vs the 5800X3D, so if the 5500X3D is similarly affected compared to the 5600X3D, it would be expected to be anywhere from 6-11% worse in gaming and 4-8% worse in productivity.

So then, using the averages of those ranges, the 7600X3D would outperform our assumed 5500X3D on average by about 16.6% in gaming and 25% in productivity. Beyond that you’ve also got the 7800X3D and 9800X3D which would further improve performance (or the Ryzen 9 X3D chips but those aren’t as popular).

While pricing seems unknown for now, I think if you’re determined to remain on AM4, I would just spend the extra for a 5700X3D, especially if you can find it on a sale, and get the most out of that AM4 that you can now for the rest of its life. But if you can budget a full platform upgrade with new mobo and DDR5 RAM, the 7800X3D seems to be coming back down in price, although not quite as cheap as it was Q4 2023 up to mid 2024.

The year is 2062. Flying cars are finally real, true AI has enabled fully automated luxury gay space communism, and AMD announces the 59765X4D for AM4, compatible with 300 series chipset and higher motherboards with a BIOS update.

It’ll be a long time before I trust Asus again

Then put 8GB in a 9060 non-XT and sell it for $200. You’re just wasting dies that could’ve been used to make more 16GB cards available (or at least a 12 GB version instead of 8).

You can also solve this problem by not buying nvidia’s overpriced garbage

*Offer not valid for AMD GPUs, MSI doesn’t wanna touch those

Looks like they put a magsafe holder on it and threw an old phone on there

If you really wanna get one and it’s in stock, reserve it for pick up, they’ll hold it for like 3 days and you don’t have to pay until you actually go get it, in case you change your mind or can’t make it in that time.

Anything in particular you’re looking for in a replacement other than the general style/aesthetic of your current case?
