New World Preview

Pros?


35GB and it seems good
Pew pew gun is fun
Fire fire mage is fun

Pointy hat is great


Crafting is superb and useful
Semi-large world with no mount makes world seem gigantic

Cons?


Needs better character customization

No character slider for boobs
Are there females and males?


Sometimes co-op and questing as a party seems awkward
Factions lock you out of playing with friends

Nvidia release


Leather jacket
Stupid kitchen
Tiny PCB

FE card NOT using reference PCB?


Weird cooling setup

Turns out cooling doesn't impact most case designs unless airflow is already a problem


3070 sounding like a great value
3080/3090 availability issues and bots
3080/3090 capacitor issues

Nvidia's own guidelines not what they followed themselves?
Manufacturers trying to be cheap or just following base guidelines?


Nvidia saving 3070 Ti and 3080 Ti for Big Navi release?
Radeon release

12GB and 16GB memory configs?
Set to compete with 3070 and 3080 allegedly
AMD also promises NOT to have availability issues at launch
