Cyberpunk 2077 releases in a few months and I’m in awe in how the Night City skyline looks.

^^^^^ The new RTX cards are out. Apparently sold out in hours. Big power gain though over previous cards, something like 40%, which pissed me off because I have the ROG RTX 2080ti, and I’m thinking of selling it on ebay, and upgrading. I mean 40% over a 2080ti is quite a damn boost. I gotta try out the new MS Flight simulator. The renderings of the cities look jaw dropping on max settings. NYC, Chicago for example. Cyberpunk 2077 is bound to look amazing. ---
