Great game! I played it back in 2019, along with the Annihilation Line DLC. It was good for about 35 hours of entertainment between the two.

Heh, I'm often "late to the game". Wish I had played it sooner.

I'm about 7 hours in, taking my time, exploring and soaking in all the Terminator universe goodness! All 7 hours are just today. 🤣

DLC is next on my list.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Shivering Isles
Finished! I was expecting this to be a lot longer, but it took me around 12 hours to complete the main quest and some side quests here and there. I did rush through the main quest, however, and I know that there's a ton of optional content available.

This was really exceptional! It's definitely got some of the best content in the entire game, and there's even some minor replayability with regard to which of two factions you choose to ally with. It brings some the weirdness of Morrowind back to the series, and the quests are quite varied. I had a great time with this. Highly recommended!

well, i enjoyed the main game so maybe this dlc is worth a shot too! There is something about Oblivion i really liked, maybe its the NPCs, the look and feel. it felt like a 'small-big' world

Congrats! The only reason I didn't consider this card was due to 12GB VRAM. Some current games maxed out will use up every bit of 12GB at up to 1440p, so future games may prefer 16GB. If you game at 1080p, then 12GB should never be an issue.

I forgot to mention that 110e more was referring to the price of 5060ti/16gb ...
my current monitor is a 1440p one - nothing fancy but probably it's the thing I will replace next as I really want a HDR-capable one

I added the 5070 to my chart and it ends up being 2nd best value to the RX9070. The only potential issue is the 12GB VRAM, which may eventually become a limitation in 1440p, and for sure will be a limitation at 2160p.

Are you daisy chaining the video cards together hopefully get better performance. I remember you can do that with nvidia, almost like a RAID config

Started a new game of Baldur's Gate 3 on the PS5 while at my sister's for Christmas. I had gotten to Act 3 on the PC but never finished it and it's been too long to just pick up where I left off. On the other hand, I've also done Act 1 a million times since I played the beta...so I tried to make my character Palpatine to make it feel more fresh for me haha.
