Valete Graham writes, Gaming's equivalent to the summer-movie blockbuster season occurs much later in the year, in the Fall. And what's not to like about Q4: midterms and finals, holiday stress, and the delightful end of year hustle at the office. In other words, the perfect time to go throwing your money around like a crazy person. The industry's biggest releases are crammed into an insanely tight four-month period and suffice it to say, it can be a tad overwhelming. But as the cycle dictates, we play everything in the Fall/Winter and enter a merciless boredom in the Spring/Summer. There is a solution however."
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
