So like Javik with his copy of Portal thread, I am sitting on a code for a copy of Beat Hazard Ultra for Steam. Since I'm a long time member, and it's kinda fun to do this sort of thing, I decided to go ahead and randomly give out the code like Javik is doing for Portal :)

For those unaware of the game, it's a twin stick shooter, which uses your music to create the enemies and patterns the enemies use, along with the intensity of the action on screen etc. It's very psychedelic and colorful to say the least :D With the Ultra release a few months ago, the developer added new enemy types, support for streaming radio stations (which is really cool imo) and other requested features from the community. Oh and the game supports online multiplayer as well. You can use pretty much any file type, though some are covered by DLC (aac for example is I believe).

To check out the game go here

Here is a nice video showcasing the insanity that can happen on screen:



Now, as for giving the code for the game away. Do NOT PM me about it, I will ignore (or worse if you continue to PM me block you) you if you do. You simply have to be a member of the forums (obviously) and just post in this thread. Oh, and if you are a one post wonder, don't bother posting in the thread. I'll be ignoring those posts. Anyone else can win the code, including Neowin staff members, admins and what not. In any event, on Friday morning at about 6AM EDT or so, I'll just randomly go through the thread and pick someone. I'll then PM you and once you respond, I'll send you the code for the game :)

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
