Get an RTX 3080 12GB for $810 at Newegg, $450 off MSRP

A new low price for the faster 12GB variant of the RTX 3080. The RTX 3080 12GB is a little-known variant of the RTX 3080 released late last year. As well as coming with the same memory subsystem as the RTX 3080 Ti - 12GB of GDDR6X attached to a 384-bit interface - it’s also faster than the vanilla 3080, with more CUDA and RT cores. That performance normally comes at a steep premium, but today an MSI Ventus 3X RTX 3080 12GB model is going for a low price over at Newegg....

Maybe the next generation of graphics cards could be smaller?

Huge if true I’m testing anNvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Tithis week. No fully-formed, review-style thoughts on it yet, though after an unusually stressy installation I do have a question: does it need to be so god-damned big? “Yes, because heat” is probably the answer, as when you’ve got as many processor cores as the RTX 3090 Ti, running at such high clock speeds as the RTX 3090 Ti, and with as much memory as the RTX 3090 Ti, it’s a bad idea to try building an RTX 3090 Ti that’s the size of a postage stamp....

Nightmare Reaper review: a retro-styled FPS that hits more than it misses

Oh sow good Nightmare Reaperis what you’d get if you crossed Minecraft with Doom and sprinkled it with the ashes of a roguelite. You blast through procedurally generated woods and sewers, bursting enemies for cash and channeling your profits into a skill tree that’s also your own psyche. It’s rad, basically, but its roguelite dusting doesn’t quite hit the mark when a literal nightmare is turning into a metaphorical one....

Salt And Sacrifice review: a 2D metroidvania with surprising depth

A game worth its salt Salt And Sacrificeis a 2D metroidvania hunt-a-thon that casts you as a condemned prisoner in an imperiled kingdom. Magic is corrupting the land, giving rise to monstrous creatures and ravenous undead, and the source of all of this destruction, Mages, must be hunted and their hearts devoured if the Kingdom is to survive. Like Ska Studios’s previous outing, the game features difficult combat, extensive equipment options, and hulking bosses to slay....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a vibrant yet repetitive slice of nostalgia

Cowa-bungled combat lacks creativity in this simple successor I spent much of my childhood hunkered around the family PC using an emulator to run Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game. Years have passed since I last played, causing the vague memories to distort into a recollection that’s nothing like reality. In my head, that first arcade game captured the frenetic energy of the TMNT cartoons I’d watch on a Saturday morning....
