Finally reading Ender's Game :D

If you like it, I'd recommend (at somepoint) reading Enders Shadow.

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.

I've seen that in book stores, libraries, and second hand book shops so often, but never bothered picking it up. Recently, however, a lot of friends have been reading it and recommending it, so it looks like a trip to Amazon is in order :)

Finally reading Ender's Game :D

I read that about a month ago. A great read, you should enjoy it!

I finished Jurassic Park over the weekend and started The Lost World. Had a hard time putting it down last night.

I finally managed to finish Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. Went to the local bookseller and picked up the other two volumes (The Confusion and The System of the World) as well as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

I decided to take a break from Stephenson, so I'm currently reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson.

I got a book of the first 3 books of Richard Knaak's Dragonrealm series and have started reading the first in it. I'm loving it so far (you don't often get warlocks and necromancers in books, and though it would be a good book so far without them, it's great to have their inclusion)

Firedrake (1989)

Ice Dragon (1989)

Wolfhelm (1990)

are the books in it

Legends of the Dragonrealm is the book

My reading "habbit" has died on its arse this month - I've only read the following:

  • JG Ballard - Millennium People.
  • Michael Connelly - Void Moon.

I'm currently re-reading Stephen Frys' first autobiography - Moab is my Washpot, but I'm struggling to "get into it" for some reason.

Reading all of Vince Flynn's books, again, in anticipation of his newest - American Assassin

Currently on Memorial Day next up will be: Consent to Kill, Act of Treason, Protect and Defend, Extreme Measures, and Pursuit of Honor....in that order and all before October 12th when the new one comes out. Yes I have a day job and a family, too. :laugh:

Just finished To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer...

Its a depressing/excellent book...not so much the book itself, but the realisation that the book captures humanity's predisposition for violence quite well.

    • 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.
