Never played the first Dune game, but Dune 2 had fantastic music. I assume at least some of it was composed by him.

I have a 7900 XT (discounted open box item) sitting around and I need to know of it's the better option instead of waiting for the 9070 XT to release. "Reportedly" attractively priced? Come on, AMD. Drop some info right now.

Mercedes Moné looks like a character from The Sims in that picture.

They have just one minister left in federal government, Volker Wissing. He quit the party though, and the reasons he gave for wanting to finish his term somehow make me think that he actually is a decent guy. The party used to be good for post-war Germany, I truly believe that as a socialist-leaning guy. However, nobody needs the FDP nowadays because while they claim to represent liberal values, they're actually just a party for the 1%. All they stand for is "taxes down, shrink or dismantle government institutions, everyone should fight for himself". Only neoliberal trash left with them.

Currently own one, but had to double check.

I'm not 100% sure if it's the Mk3 or Mk4 dash. Probably Mk4, with the fantastic red on blue color scheme.

It's a Mk4 ERA dash, circa 1997-2005.

Waiting for the nuclear gang to drop in and tell us that all windmills and solar panels should be dismantled in favor of clean nuclear power plants and that Germany should never have abandoned the atom.

A quick Google search tells me that a "very high" and possibly lethal dose is two milligrams, so 10 kilograms of the stuff can kill five million people.

They're still one of the most prominent companies if you're shopping for a mainboard or graphics card. They even have Intel GPUs in their lineup.

36 Watts idle sounds like a lot for a 5800X3D. I'll see what my 5700X3D does, never checked that. Not in software and not at the wall.

I have a 30-day return window, so maybe we have some benchmarks, independent or at least from AMD themselves by the end of February. The 20 GB on the old cards are nice and water coolers are readily available. The question is, how will the 9070 XT perform and will it be reasonably priced?
