Oh yeah

-outside USA

-TV

-SD

Has anyone noticed today matches picture quality is poor? Its either virgin media or FIFA because both matches so far are more pixelated, lines seem more zig zaggy and the motion of play/camera movement seems different and not that smooth.

Teams are week... not to par with previous World Cup games...

England should have done better, had many chances and did not do anything with it.

Germany clearly superior to Australia.

Serbia should have done better.... not organized well...

Spain - Switzerland still 0:0, I was expecting from Spain to score in the first half but nothing so far...

Most likely to go to semi-finals: Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain

1) Week is a span of 7 days; Weak* is what you're looking for, yea I'm a grammar nazi when it comes to the wrong word - normally don't say anything though.

2) Teams aren't necessarily weak, just not taking advantage of chances, and its only just now getting into game 2 of group stages. Teams just seem somewhat even with a few exceptions.

+1 to you, that's amusing.

Haha. (Y) :laugh:

I seem to be noticing the vuvuzelas less and less as each match comes though, if I'm honest. :)

I drown them out, but for those that don't SA just lost 3-0, so maybe there will be a significantly smaller amount of them!?

this vuvuzela equals some headache.. grrrrr...

WC is boring so far.. I think I enjoyed more or less only 2 matches.. GER-AUS and IvoryC-Port.. and the second one only cos portugal didn't score.. SCOOOOORE :)

Brazil, Spain.. well, so far a little bit disappointing..

CBC is streaming the games live on their cbc.ca website.

I also have HDTV where CBC is showing the games in HD but I tend to watch them online so I can multitask with Neowin. :D

The perks of having my TV next to my computer! I can tilt it around so it faces me, I have the Internet and TV at the same time! :laugh:

I can't stand football, ?but i greatly enjoy the fact that due to the WC the buskers aren't allowed to torture my ears because every bar has big screen and people are watching that.? ?

Yesterday a busker tried anyway and was brusquely cut off. Sigh. I want the WC every summer.? :p

Yeah, I haven't bothered to pull cable to this room. Even the Internet comes in via a wireless bridge.

    • 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.
