Hi Steve and team! I have ordered a couple of times from your store. Do you think it will be possible to setup a European store in the future? I like your products, but the shipping cost and import tax and fee for charging the import tax (at least here in Denmark), adds up to a higher cost than the products themselves.
I know it's probably a lot of work, but I would be really appreciative if you could ship from a EU store at some point.
Hope you all had a good New Year!
Cheers :)

The Starfield/BG3 conclusions are a bit weird. It's framed as if BG3 was without bugs, and Starfield was filled with bugs. That isn't true at all. Those 4 patches with 1k changes, were mostly bug fixes. So in a few months the game had 4k bugs fixed. Which is nice and all, but that also means the game shipped with 4k bugs. Starfield on the other hand is fairly bug free. There are lots of reason to dislike Starfield or to like BG3, but the number of bugs just isn't one of them.

I built my PC this year I only used AMD(7800X3D, 7900xtx), WD (m.2) etc.
Call me boring but I don't like to gamble.
What Nvidia does is madness and I don't buy into madness!
And Samsung SSDs ... well ... not the first time they screwed up.
And to me a storage drive MUST be the most reliable part of the PC. Period!
No warranty will give you your precious data back!
I even bought a quite slow WD M.2 for important stuff.

Why do people keep talking about BG3 like it's a perfect game? Well,because they didn't play it,ye it's great up until act3,than everything goes to shit,and it ruins the whole experience because you have to spend a few hours on reddit researching how to solve bugs (at least bugs are solvable),and play game with opened console with scripts ready to copy paste if game gets dumb all of a sudden and world just freezes.

This year should be exciting. I'm almost salavating for battlemage, I have hopes for arrowlake. I'm also wanting to go back to air cooling after an admittingly awesome run from my Kraken x31 I bought in 2015 now currently on my 13100f. I'm looking at the noctua u12a, which they have listed on their website compatible with lga1851. Yes really. I also might actually even buy a game this year if stalker 2 is good.

AI = Absolute Irrelevant
nvidia = not very intelligent dudes in abundance
We passed from the age of trying bring 4K native 60+fps in every game to making shit dlss and RT. Watch out they going to abandon them for AI next, once they realize they cannot achieve it like true native 4K (unless you pay a kidney). Plus the company making unoptimized shit and justify them with dlss/fsr.

Nvidia doesn't care about the gaming market anymore, they can sell GPU's by the buckets for AI-farms and other more profitable professional uses. And that demand will only grow unfortunately. And they will continue gimping gaming GPUs to make sure it doesn't threaten their high-priced professional cards - look at how 4090 pricing has jumped because of how efficient it is at those workloads.

Loved the video but the bitterness in me over the 40XX series pricing is still too strong to enjoy this 100%. I mean, the 4060 which is (was?) supposed to be a midrange GPU debuted at over 500.. which is the same amount I paid for my 1080Ti when it came out! I just can't wrap my head around this level of greed. It honestly feels like they are destroying my hobby with their insane pricing.

You know?
When PC manufacturers screw you....too much over a long period of time ....
You may lose interests in PC components and Customizing you're next gaming PC.
That's me , I bought a PS5 I really wanted to upgrade my PC but I'd rather don't; so I did buy one PS5.
F....PC component's manufacturers , support console gaming platforms!!!(cause they always win)

I don't think it is so much obsession with AI as awareness that they are the ones selling pickaxes during a foolish Goldrush. The faster it ends, the better. The incessant repeated screeching of AI by that lot is starting to affect my sanity. I can't fathom how you all must fare having to actually suffer through it all in its entirety...

Oh - that list didn't seem as terrible as a few from the last years but yeah: The 4060 Ti pricing is bad indeed. In the beginning of the year I bought a 6800 XT and even after all the recent releases it feels like a solid buy as either pricing was too high or benefits too small. And yes: I needed the additional VRAM outside of gaming.

I bought a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 based on your review, and I am very happy with it so far, decently easy install, my only issue is that it now blocks all the light in my PC so I am thinking of getting an LED strip for the rear of the case :D
Thank you to the entire GN Staff for keeping it real and drama free

The 7-segment display thing is so cruel and pointless. Why wouldn't they want people to know what's going on? Almost no one is sitting there like oh this one has the little screen thing - and if they are, you've just pissed them off. Can't wait for the manufacturers to have the revolutionary idea to compete again.

But Steve, you don't need Micro SD cards for the Ally! Just pay upwards of 200USD on a 2TB 2230 SSD and it's all good!
What? Don't you have 200USD after paying for a 700USD product? What are you _poor?_ /s
But seriously, I actually had someone use that very argument at me some months ago... God, fanboys suck.

when that song was singing about Nvidia it literally sounds like GLaDOS from portal. Now to come think of it I think it would be funny if OpenAI was very similar to GLaDOS, some AI robot bonded upside-down in the back of some giant server warehouse being zapped every time someone asks ChatGPT a question.

Bought Yeston since I live in china and GN has had nothing but good things to say about them. But totally regretting it. My 4090 had a problem which they confirmed, couldnt fix so had to send it to Taiwan. Got it back more broken than when I sent it. Now not even the fans are working.

Just got into Cities skylines recently (1 not 2) and it's just as bad, both CPU and GPU utilization were nowhere near 50% yet the game struggles to run above 45fps on my 5900x and 3060ti. Mods does bring it up to 60fps though but it's hilarious how unplayable the game is without it

The song at the start already made me shiver again. I forgot about that. Thanks, Steve.
It feels like that disappointment list is getting longer every year. It will end up so long, that the shirt could also function as a skirt. NGreedia can make it happen.

GN - Credibility 100%
GN - BG3 is a good game.
GN - Credibility 1%
Maybe next time don't fail to mention that everything that wasn't in the beta didn't work properly and was unfinished. Oh, and the most important thing, that BG3 is a degen POS.

How do you know time flies, with a jet planes speed? When you think that the last disappointment tour (2022) T-shirt was released just a few weeks ago. :) When I saw the new one, I got the reaction, but it wasn't that long ago the last one was released... :)
