currently finishing up Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena (I actually think I like it slightly more than the original, which says a lot).

I'm also back to playing WoW. Gonna hit 80 probably tomorrow, definitely by the day after. I've already got a nice collection of tanking gear and have been running some instances to get back i the groove. I'm glad for dual spec as my guildn't kicking out some key dps and tank members and suspending some others from raiding. I should be able to be doing Ulduar in 2 weeks or so. Despite the bootings they got to Yogg-Saron and couldn't get him down last night.

I'm playing mainly whatever comes through from my list on LoveFilm. :p

At the moment, I've got Shaun White Snowboarding (360) and Resistance 2 here, and I'm still waiting on Civilization Revolution (360) to turn up.

I might send SWS back today as I've done the Triple Slam event, and all I've gotta do left is complete all the main challenges to face Shaun White, which I didn't even remotely do; I just went straight for all the coins. :p Actually, I think I'll keep it for a few more days.

Resistance 2 is pretty good. I didn't think they could improve on it, but somehow they have. I've got a good amount of trophies as well already. I'm on Chapter 4 (I think).

How is it?

It's pretty good imo but you HAVE to install the game onto the hard drive before playing it to fix some frame rate issues (managed to borrow my friend's 60GB HD for this). If I were you try the PC version since I heard it's heaps better than the 360 version :)

Currently finishing off Mirror's Edge. FINALLY I beat the whole game already :)

Finished Two Worlds (360) last week, now I've dusted off Assassin's Creed (360), and I'm probably going to play it to near completion (achievement-wise). I think this is my third time with it (played it on PS3 to about this point and previously started and stopped on 360, this is a fresh run), and I'm on the sixth assassination, with all flags collected and templars killed for all the assassinations that I've finished so far and the kingdom.

Jerusalem still chugs, but the rest of the game is silky smooth compared to PS3.

    • 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.
