I got in one of those cars, and it surprised me, I had to first find the button to start it, and then find the knob for shifting.
I just backed it out of my drive, but didn't even know if it was running yet.
It seemed alright, just confusing.

There is a lot of places now with the self driving cars, cheaper than uber, and people say they are nicer than expected.
There was one girl where two men blocked the car, and they where trying to get a date with her, that's not a good thing.
The car wouldn't go because they where in front of it.

I got to be drove around in a Tesla S today, I thought I was going to black out how fast it accelerated.
I had to pretend I was in a jet airplane, and tighten my body up for it.
You almost need a g suit for a jet.
0-60 in something like 2.3 seconds they say, but I think it's faster than that.
We have icy roads also, and it did great on them, the heavy bottom end helps a lot.
It will even drive itself.

Gotta wonder how much it will turn out to be.

When I win the lottery I'll buy one of these. Full electric with simulated exhaust sound.

[Blue Frost]

Funny how good it sounds.
The Tesla don't have it, but has 1000 hp.

I ordered a new PC... In parts.

Ryzen 7 9800x3d.
Gigabyte RTX 5080 gaming oc.

RTX 5090 costs a whopping 2.5k euros minimum which is TOO MUCH for a gpu.

The flagship gpu used to cost like 1,6k about 4 years ago and I thought of that as really high back then.

The order went in but its on hold because the GPU aint in stock.

Its probably gonna take a while to arrive since RTX 5000 series are out of stock everywhere on the globe.

Nice except the price of all that, I know from buying my Alienwere gaming computer.

3,7k euros.

Would be about 5k with a 5090 and a 4K monitor.
A cheap 4K monitor... Most of them cost a 1000 bucks.


Rtx 5080 is not as good as rtx 4090... The 2nd model used to be able to beat the former generations flagship.

Nvidia scammed us.


But 5080 overclocks like a beast so its mighty powerful as well.

I bought this game night before last, been fun so far.

I need a Dell M.2 PCIe NVME Gen 4x4 Class 40 2280 Solid State Drive - 2TB, it's $450.00
I have one installed, but it's not enough.
The whole thing is crazy expensive.

What you are getting sounds like almost what I have.

It's a few years old now, but still runs better than most peoples I know.
I just wish I had more memory, and that extra drive.

I played this game a few nights back, it was pretty interesting.
I enjoyed it so I played through it twice.
It's a linear game, short game also, but fun.
Getting the shotgun was the best part, made killing the other vampires a lot easier as well as the guards around London.

[Odinson]

I still havent received my rtx 5080.

I changed the order to Gigabyte Aorus master 5080 which is more expensive.


It has been shipped and its in a city next to mine... Maybe tomorrow.

[Odinson]

Indiana Jones and the great circle seems to be a real resource hawk.

Cant run it at max even with the 5090.... 3000 euro gpu.

[Blue Frost]

That computer will be screaming hot when completed, I hope you have a good cooler in it.
I need to update some of my components, but the cost is a bit much right now since I have other more important stuff I'm paying.
I would love trying your computer out when done.

About that game, maybe it needs updated, or reinstalled.
Also in the settings turn off god rays, and there is other things like fog, particles you could turn off, or down.
I've noticed a big change on how my computer handles those, and it's unnoticeable when playing.
Just turning things down from ultra helps also.

[Blue Frost]

Another thing, sometimes game overlays are loaded by games, vortex, and Nvidia, turn off those not needed, you only need one.

Here you go, who cares if snow is high, or roads are blocked
