Honestly AAA studios don't even exist anymore. Is there any gaming studio making multipe $60 games per year you can name where you would vouch for the quality of their games solely on the basis of who made it?

Maybe some first party console games(and even then only some series), but nothing for PC.

8/10 for effort, 10/10 for style, but 3.5/10 for execution. The phrase too cute by half springs to mind, but this is closer to too cute by three quarters.

It almost looks like massive unfunded tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and big business don't lead to job growth.

Im thinking that the finals is not utilizing my nvidia graphics card so if anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate

Well, if you have a suspicion, start with confirming it. Simplest test, does the card get hot? Is the fan spinning up? If you install a gpu monitor does it show a spike? Does your CPU even have integrated graphics?

Special thanks to Microsoft for going out of their way to help make this possible

This is hardly a new thing for MS. One of the first emails I remember getting when I got to college back in 2003 was from campus IT begging people not to install the latest XP update because it reenabled a vulnerability to existing malware.

My kingdom for the return of the rear fingerprint sensor.

I guess they're tied on that front.

I expect they will not be worth it as they're too underpowered for your specific use case. (I'm assuming your use case is hosting complex physical similations for a major university physics department and the old computer you're considering on Amazon is a used version of this one or something similar.)

For my home server I use whatever old PC I have laying around already.
