Looks like Prey has now been hacked. Won't post sauce or info.

Shame they won't post the sauce. I'd like a little tangy tomato sauce with my chips.

I can confirm, this is legit Heinz 57 here...

Not tangy enough for me. I like the really deeply red tart tomato sauce, almost spicy it's so tart.

Endless Space 2 launched out of Early Access today a day early. So the full release is out now. For those who already own it(me) the update file you get today is 4.2GB

A reminder from the patch notes that is pretty important if you already own the game and got the update

REMINDER: Old saves are no longer compatible with the game! We've removed a lot of old files that were only kept in there to keep the saves working between beta versions. We're now removing all that to start with a clean slate!

We strongly recommend you delete your Registry.xml file. It is normally located in: C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\Endless Space 2\Users\

If you want more patch notes, it's on the steam page with a link

Vega 2.0 could be out next year to better compete with Volta, but on the new 14nm+ process AMD just announced. The rumoured Vega 20 could be using 7nm, but likely still 14nm+ and will not be aimed at the gaming segment. Vega could just get a refresh like Polaris did, but it'll have to offer more than the Polaris refresh. All the same it's good to know AMD aren't banking on their soon-to-be-released Vega silicon to match the year-to-be-released Nvidia Volta silicon.

EVGA 1080 Ti Kingpin card coming soon -

What's the point of a Kingpin card at this point? Unless you're talking LN2 support it really is pointless to splurge for a Kingpin or any of these high-end variants. It'll still only hit 2080Mhz max.

There's always a market for the insanely high priced stuff ^_^

Rumour has it RX Vega won't be available for consumption (I like to eat my stars) until September.

It's usually always when "back to school" happens for AMD to release their big GPUs. Fury X was paper launched before then but wasn't available in any volume before then.

TBH if you look at when AMD ordered the prototype PCB and Raja was out visiting the manufacturers it was only like November last year. He said then it was still miles off.

Then they're impulsive and can't control themselves is what I would say to that. Hardly like there are any AAA+ blockbuster titles that are worth spending that kind of dough on.

I don't game anywhere near as much during summer either.

This news is false, I know what the transcript says and it is not that. Whoever first reported this took things way out of context?

Start of 2017
:amd: = :intelwar:
Summer of 2017
:amd: = :amdwar:

But if you are looking for a new card, and not being an AMD fanboy, then why wait.

I wouldn't call somebody impulsive just because they didn't wait for Vega. Some people have the funds available to them in the summer and not in the Autumn when there is as you say "back to school" as people have kids to think about.

So you could not have possibly saved the money until launch and you're telling me you're not impulsive ?

You need to remember that people can't wait forever, once Vega launches everyone will say "wait for Volta", it never changes.

People need to spend their money at some point and I know that a lot of people have waited for almost a year for Vega, they are understandably annoyed and want something better sooner.

Exactly, I have seen plenty of people who have been waiting for the next big AMD GPU since before Polaris launched, which was over a year ago. You can only wait so long for your preferred brand to release something.

People can't focus every purchasing decision on what is coming next, as the simple thing is that we have no idea what is coming next or how much better it will be that what is currently available.

So you could not have possibly saved the money until launch and you're telling me you're not impulsive ?

Dude, a lot of people have waited over a year for Vega. If they all were all impulse buyers they would have jumped ship long ago.

They were making a purchasing decision that is based on the products that are available now, the problem with waiting for the next launch is that there is always a different one coming up.
