Amazing competitive card game for 2 players. The only flaw is the high price compared to the content, which is justified for the SW brand. There are also available rules on BoardGameGeek for solo play (Leaders), which provide a very balanced gameplay.

Although the reviews are mixed as to whether it's worth it, I have to say that in my system (34" 3440x1440 with 5700x3d), it comfortably plays most games above 60fps. Of course, it is necessary to optimize the settings between Medium-High, but in non-demanding games I can even increase the quality to Ultra.

For example, Cyberpunk 2077 DLSS-Quality High is around 80fps...Helldivers 2 runs flawlessly without any frame drops mainly due to the CPU. With 8gb, the textures are limited to High and it may use system memory in the latest titles, especially in games with Unreal Engine 5.

Preferable to the RX 7600 because DLSS surpasses FSR upscaler in terms of image quality. In this category, the technology is essential because the fps struggle in First Person Shooters where chaos ensues. For the 300€ I got it on sale, it's worth it, although I find it difficult to believe it will go lower with NVIDIA's pricing policy for smaller models.

Used for cooling the 5700x3d. Idle temperature at 50 degrees and 1300rpm, very satisfactory in terms of noise. Had to reduce the speed to 50-60% from the motherboard's FAN Control, but at the price of 50€ it's a one-way street now, as others have mentioned.

Coming from Creative Zen headphones connected to a Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus sound card, the difference is clearly impressive. In my main use of music and gaming, I clearly distinguish more sounds and effects with detail and exceptional stable quality. I preferred not to go for gaming headsets because Hi-Fi speakers in this price range (60€ - 80€) deliver sound for professional use with the sound card reaching a sampling rate of 32bit / 192kHz... so headphones like Mackie with 33Ω resistance highlight the sound with detail.

I don't know how weak they can be if you use them without an amplifier, as 93db sensitivity for secondary use on a tablet or mobile phone is low. In terms of build quality, it has plastic that needs attention to wear, while it looks a bit "fake". They come with a long cable, carrying case, and a 6.3" adapter. If you find them on sale for less than 70€, they are a top value for money choice.

Similarly, for the AKG K240 MKii headphones which are open-back like the Audio Technica ATH-M30x, reviews on rtings mentioned that the sound "loses" somewhere, but of course they are for a different job like mixing, listening to the instrument to compose music. For PC use, they impressed me from the first moment!

Excellent implementation by Sapphire with this OC version. Easily runs everything at 3440x1440 34" wide resolution, mainly on High Settings (Ultra is an exaggeration in my opinion as it significantly drops the fps). Of course, we have the PC for the settings options that handle demanding titles, and with the 12gb it has, it is quite futureproof. Of course, for an additional +100€, one can go for the 7800xt which has 16gb RAM and is an ideal choice for those who want 4k resolution. The fans make a bit of noise during games, but this can be easily adjusted through the driver. At 430-450€, I would say the price for the 7700xt would be ideal.
