Anyone playing Disco Elysium? It's the first PC game in a long time that's really got my attention (from strong reviews, short clips and screenshots etc), and with there being no Mac or console options yet I'm left out in the cold. Would be interested to see a first play if anyone's taken the plunge!

Currently researching GPU upgrades for my 290. That familiar temptation to go all out and move to 4k, 120hz+, gsync/freesync...whatever else is there again. I quite like my 1080p Dell UltraSharp monitor though so in the interest of saving my wallet I'm sticking with it.
It seems like a 1660Ti should have me covered for going all out at 60fps but then, we are getting close to a new generation so I'm wondering if I should just wait.

I upgraded earlier during the year to a 1070 and i remember that and the 1660ti being really close with some games being better on the 1660ti and others being better on the 1070 (and the 2060 being close to them both to)
Not been with AMD for years but checking here https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2523?vs=2515 the 5700 is about 40 to 50 more expensive then a 1660 ti but seems to do pretty well compared to the 2060.
As usual though i wish i had waited and saved, the 1070 is good but still have to reduce details on quite a few games and i would have probably went for the 2060 super or the AMD 5700 XTLast edited by eastyy; 27-10-2019, 13:52.

I was tempted to the 2060 but the performance increase over a 1070 was not that much and RTX is still in first genLast edited by eastyy; 27-10-2019, 18:27.

Just a few days after EA's steamy teaser, the publisher has made it official - EA is coming back to Steam.EA is going a…
EA fully returning to Steam. Reddit, where I linked to above was wrong on that one.
EDIT: should have said it is still games that aren't native to Steam. So Origin and EA account still required. Load a launcher to load another launcher before you even play.Last edited by Digfox; 29-10-2019, 14:50.

I've said this before but I kinda feel this is where Valve were lazy and/or scared, in that when these launchers started appearing they should have banned any 'launchers within launchers' from these Pubs. However as an open platform maybe there is an argument for that. These additional 'programs' do sometimes break Steam Big Picture mode or In-home streaming.
