Yeah, the extra coverage is nice, but this isn't the best way. I hope we hear something from Valve about the review system during GDC.

It might not have RTX and Tensor Cores but it's still Turing. For one, Variable Rate Shading in Wolfenstein 2
I'm looking for advice to get my PC games running on my living room TV. I prefer to NOT relocate the computer or run a HDMI cable down my hallway. I recognize this will likely result in some input lag or latency.
I looked into Steam Link and...it looks to be discontinued? Are there other options worth exploring? I'm exclusively interested in the game aspect. We're good on the streaming front.
Thanks in advance for any advice the group may have.

Lower power consumption and the 1660 Ti is cheaper than the 1070 where I live (unless you meant used, but personally I don't want used components).
You dont need a Steam Link. Valve has launched an app for Android (and certain smrt TV models) to do that stuff. You can easily buy an Android stick and run with it.
How about an HDMI cable through the attic? ;-)
I just ran one through the wall. It's pretty magical.
I didn't even know this was a thing. I'm downloading the app on my TV right now and em tinker around with it. Thanks so much for the advice.
Yeah, I think that will be my fall back option if I can't get a streaming solution working. My concern then becomes about controller connectivity to a system that is in the room down the hall.
Things were easier back when I had everything in my living room, but both my wife and I prefer to avoid that in our current home.
Thanks, I've played that particular shlooter
EDIT: both of them, though I never got too far on Warframe cause my friends don't generally like shlooters past a certain point

Long ass USB extension cable. Possibly even one that's actively powered.
It's doable. Only hassle will be having to go back and forth between living room and PC room if you get a pop up or something kicks you out of game, but the latency trade off is worth it IMO.
Battletech is alright, aside from 3 flaws:
-The pilot skill trees are way too passive heavy, which makes builds very boring
-Battles (especially later in the game) become slog fests where you just pump tons of firepower into enemies on repetitive maps (outside of the story only maps), while all the cool glam cam shots wind up looking the same pretty quickly.
-The devs failed to make melee only builds actually interesting/viable when they introduced the Hatchetman without the ability to designate specific parts of the enemy mech as targets for attacks (which is a mechanic available to all the other weapons). Melee attacks are totally random in where they hit, and the result is that a melee playstyle is kind of frustrating and unsatisfying.
If you do get it, get the mod that allows you change a lot of the difficulty variables, and change the resale value of salvage in shops from 18% to 33%, then change the value controlling how many contracts you can get per planet higher, so you won't have to grind and travel as much.
Where are you finding 1070's cheaper?

Pretty sure Alex Navarro from Giant Bomb coined that just to annoy the people discussing what that genre should be called, i.e. genre dicks.
plenty of completed listings on ebay for brand new 1070s below the 279 1660ti price
here's just one example: $232.50 https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1070-SC-GAMING-ACX-3-0-08G-P4-6173-KR-8GB-GDDR5-LED-DX12-OS/173758111773?epid=19025112561&hash=item2874ca601d:g:MocAAOSwCvdcSXMe&LH_ItemCondition=1000
a 1070 ti for $240: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1070-Ti-DirectX-12-GTX-1070-Ti-DUKE-8Gw-/132931456393?hash=item1ef3550d89:g:5JEAAOSwoylcTQhA&LH_ItemCondition=1000&nma=true&si=HFUphXAqSNnz1WRCHhAvYmyBZbI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Getting disappointing performance in Borderlands 2.
Playing on max with a 2700x and a 2080, I would have thought this would be more than enough to maintain over 100 fps at least.
Getting drops into the 50s very often...
Any ideas? Having to turn own settings in games this old bugs me a lot...

I see, american pricing, that makes more sense. There are certainly some coming close to that in CAD on the .ca site
Having a similar issue with BL1, seems like the games really aren't optimized for over 60FPS gameplay.
Oh, I just tried again with physix to low and it's now in the 100+ range...
But it's still not perfectly smooth, after playing Destiny it feels quite stuttery (frame rates are similar).
Is physix just a badly implemented effect? I would have thought a high end card in 2019 should be able to handle a video effect from 2012...

Devil May Cry 5 getting replaced by a sudden double stealth drop of the Viewtiful Joe HD Collection and Viewtiful Joe 3.
Best timeline.
I had preordered the deluxe edition on voidu on october 5th...
Crisis averted. Also it is nice to see DICE developer commenting on this
