    Getting a GPU for a good price is almost impossible right now,
    Chances are you won't be able to get a 3000 series GPU since thousands of people will try to buy the same card at the time and place you will try to buy.

    Keep your 2060 until you know you have a 3000-series card.

    There is a shortage on all cards everywhere.  Unless you don't want to use your PC for a few months, I wouldn't sell it.  GTX 1660 are going for $500.  They were half that two years ago.  There is literally nothing out there at any tier.

    It's a classic, and is worth every penny of your 30 dollars.

    Red dead 2 is absolutly worth 30 euro, it has stunning graphics (therefore quite demanding at ultra) and a very long lifetime, with incredibles details which makes the game really realistic (see o knightz o on youtube).
    Some might say it is too slow and boring sometimes, but I disagree. Indeed, you ride your horse a lot at the beggining, but you can activate auto travel and do your thing until you arrive, or if you want, you can afford to take the train. Moreover, later in the game you just unlock fast travel which prevent you from crossing the whole map.
    It's one of the best game I've ever completed
    If you spent something like 50$ to get CyberPunk2077, you won't regret spending 30$ on this game.
    Grossly, 100% yes !

    2 years doesn't make a game old. Besides that, RDR2 is certainly worth the money.

    just because its only 2 years old does not mean it has bad graphics or aged mechanics and what not

    Hi guys, I'm looking for cheaper(or even freeware) softwares that are a good alternative to Adobe Premiere and Final Cut.
    Im not a professional videoeditor i just want something not simple as iMovie but something that has some features of those two like "colour grading or colour correction".
    Please help me thank you!

    Looks like someone previously used that username for folding and didn't assign a team. It's not showing any activity for the last 50 days, so you must not have submitted a work unit yet.
    You will need to complete a work unit for it to update and show the contribution to the LTT team.
     
    You may also want to set up a passkey as well so other people can't use the same username.

    Im new to F@H, but i wanted to contribute so i tried it.
    Everything is working fine but there's one thing that I dont understand:
    My name(Anakim) and Team(LTT) on the software are correct

    When I click on my name to see my stats the name is still correct but the team appears to be : "Default(No team specified)"
     here's the Link
     
    Can someone tell me if it's normal or I have to fix something on my settings?

    These are all bad, and will only have success in markets with extremely good internet connectivity (so South Korea, Japan, Taiwan.)
     
    Most of North America has rubbish-tier internet, and high-latency to boot. 5ms latency fiber-to-fiber end points if you have your fiber directly from a Tier 1 telecom. For everyone not on fiber, you're looking at 6ms on unbonded VDSL and 20ms on unbonded cable. That cable latency, already destroys your ability to stream a game not designed to deal with latency as that's already adding one frame of lag. 
     
    People who have access to fiber systems however can get these 2-8ms latencies that might afford playing a game about as well as it is local. However competative games will be tilted entirely in favor of people who live within 5 miles of the data center, since they will have the lowest latency. This is already the case, where people in SF, NYC, or Montreal enjoy much better MMO gaming when they connect to servers in their time zone.
     
    But what will kill it in the end is that nobody wants to pay for "data capped" internet, including both wired lines and wireless. LTE is actually faster and lower latency than many people's cable internet, because the fiber is run right to the MSC at the base of the tower. Will 5G make that even better? VERY DOUBTFUL. All wireless tech suffers from line-of-sight and multi-pathing issues, and that's why your cell phone bandwidth and latency tanks when in an area with a lot of people (such as conventions, protests, parties, theme parks, rapid transit, ferries, and so forth.) CDMA basically works by having everyone speaking at the same time but different languages, so as more people are in the area, more people have to speak louder and only people closest to each other can hear each other.
     
    For any of these services to survive, particularly Google's implementation, the streaming networks must partner with the ISP's to ensure that everyone has a low-latency fiber link to where the servers are. Google will not be able to centralize all their servers in California and service anyone in Central/Pacific time. Meanwhile over in Japan and South Korea, their fiber networks already exist, and their gaming culture is already built around having high speed, low-latency links.
     
    Somehow I doubt any of these will fare well unless it's forced on the user (eg PS5 having no disc drive, no hard drive, only allowing you to play games by streaming)

    My main issue is that they're going to remove content like Netflix does. At least Steam allows you to keep the game even if it's delisted from the store.

    Good Sir,
    It has come to our attention that you suggested for cloud companies to start investing internet solution. We will put a stop to that by lobbying and suing.

    No really that's not going to work.

    I think it has the potential to be good in theory but in practice, between technical reasons and practical reasons, we're not ready.

    I have...concerns:
     
    - This will only work in areas where the internet coverage is good. Lag and latency are bastards at the best of times, but this makes them both so much worse in bad situations.
    - There has already been talk of publishers starting their own subscription models. I'm not looking forward to paying for a sub to Ubisoft streaming on top of Google Stadia.

    It would need to be a BYOG (bring your own games) structure where I basically rent the hardware to stream my own library. The reason why I prefer this is I have dozens of friends and family who are (or were) casual PC gamers who don't have the budget or experience to keep up with hardware maintenance/upgrades. If they could simply get a cheap off-the-shelf box with a browser that can stream their library of games remotely, it's both a load off my shoulders and more accessible to my "users."

    I tried Shadow. Keep in mind, Shadow is not just a gaming platform. It is a Windows 10 cloud based virtual machine that you can game on. They had a free trial so I decided to try it out and found it worked pretty well.  I was able to install Steam and use the games in my Steam library without issues. I like the idea of being able to use standard copies of Windows games that I can use on my own system should the service shutdown. Of course, Shadow is more expensive than the other game services.
     
    I don't think that these services are necessarily the future of gaming, at least not for everyone. They are just another option that has pros and cons. The question in my mind is how big is the market for these and how many can survive long term. It will be interesting to watch.

    If you rotate through games regularly and you have an excellent internet connection to minimize lag, then I can see this as a good deal.
     
    However, in the end you don't own anything so if the service decides to remove a game, there's nothing you can do about it.

    Davinci Resolve is my go to editing program at the moment and it works out nicely.
    The effects stuff is limited and the community is much smaller than something like Premiere, but it works well and on my system renders fast too.
     
    The color effects/grading is probably unrivaled by any other program.

    KDenLive is a great free alternative, it's not as advanced as FCP or Premiere but it does everything a novice could want and a little more on top.

    Windows 10 has some video editing features built into the Photos app. 
     
    You could give OpenShot a shot (pun not intended) https://www.openshot.org/

    Davinci Resolve. Try this first, and it will probably do everything any sane person would need a free video editor to do.
