Cool... are we going to do the Neowin Pick'em again too?  I will definately do that but I'll have to think about the Fantasy Football (I've never done it yet).

Second Yahoo League is set up. Live draft for 10:00 CDT Sunday August 28.

First league was edited to allow fractional points.

The leagues should be identical.

Touche. But just out of curiosity did you set it up like that or was it Yahoo's default. Because when I last played I remember QBs needing to do a lot more to get those points. Maybe it's my imagination though.

I set that up myself. i think they got 1 point per 30 yards was the default. I like high scoring...But to offset that, I did the same for WR and RB, so they are evened out.

i understand that it is the same for everyone, but does it make sense to have a guy that just returns balls getting more points then some starting runningbacks? Its fine with me since my running backs suck, im just gonna add a returner that is a fourth string back lol

Giving away your 'secrets' isn't a wise fantasy move. Nice work (Y) :laugh:

That's the main reason I wanted to do NFL.com...they offer a LOT more benefits than yahoo. But we have yahoo fanboys here...:p

    • AMD 9070XT

      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.
