Neowin Fantasy Hockey Season 2008-09


Recommended Posts

Whole season comes down to this...I've had a HUGE run up to this, however I would happy just with a 2nd place lol.

If we had gone head to head last week (with the same numbers), the results would be 5-5-2 with you getting the win on the tiebreak (I believe they use SV%).

Congrats to Fred for winning the league, he pretty much led the league for the whole season. Maybe next year someone might manage to beat him? :p

I lost in the first round last year and played in the 5th place game. I don't remember how that turned out. It's hard to get excited about fifth place.

Eeks. Last year was bad (worse that I remembered). Yeah, I did win that 5th place game (out of 14 teams) but I did horribly in the second Neowin league when I finished 6th out of 8 players.

but... thanks for this year.

    • 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.
