    Legit reviews cpu showdown 1700x vs 7700k... with a gtx 970.

    Reading this review, i was quite hyped to finally consider an AMD build for my gaming rig, but i was wondering why some of the results were off compared to other reviews, until I saw that their test system used a gtx 970. GPU bottleneck in a cpu showdown... :X

    Anyone here played robinson requiem?

    Found it on GOG. I have fond memories of playing that game with my younger brother, experimenting on how to survive this planet...the mechanics were quite realist for the time. Are there any survival games nowadays that are similar?
