NVIDIA restocked its online store earlier today, but the supply only lasted for about an hour. PNY’s 3GB GTX 1060 is currently on sale for $229.99 on Amazon, a $30 reduction from the previous price of $259.99. Most 3GB 1060 cards go for around $240-$300 right now, so this is a decent deal. You can buy the GTX 1060 3GB from Amazon. If you buy it, make sure to register the card on PNY’s site within 90 days of purchase, so you get the lifetime warranty.

Fortnite battle royale players are predicting that a large comet will collide with the game world soon. Specifically, Tilted Towers. As of April 18, players have been planning a Tilted Towers wake ceremony , in keeping with the widely espoused theory that the comet will destroy that often maligned area. That ceremony involved all players landing at Tilted Towers at April 18, 6pm EST. We managed to capture one below:But at the time of writing, at least, Tilted Towers has yet to be destroyed, and

In case it wasn’t the most bleedingly obvious direction for the world’s most popular large scale FPS studio, DICE is reportedly working on a battle royale project. Rumours followed that the game would take place during World War 2, which makes sense, since 2016’s instalment ushered us back to World War 1. It makes sense that DICE would pursue the battle royale genre: Fortnite and PUBG are obviously massive, Radical Heights is getting there, and Activision has reportedly ditched this year’s Call

And when I say rebalancing, we’re not talking about just sliding some damage values up a little. This week Weisnewski was back with three more tweaked guns to highlight, each of which got its own quick preview video. However, it’s now going to be much easier to get a boost from using the Rat King with friends. “Rat Pack perk now triggers when fireteam members have Rat King slotted as their kinetic weapon, stowed or in hand,” said Weisnewski. From the speed with which the team in the video above

And that dispute has resulted in some major headaches for Russian streamers on Twitch. But it appears widespread, and comes after an initial attempt to block Telegram directly failed. Solonin said that it is possible to block Telegram through Apple and Google, although he described the idea as “absurd.” The block doesn’t appear to be entirely across the board, as some Russian streamers said that they can still access Twitch. Even though Twitch appears to be collateral damage in this dispute, the

I can only assume Muffled Warfare is just developer Gattai Games challenging Samurai Punk, the makers of Screencheat, a multiplayer FPS where everyone is invisible and you have to discern enemy locations by looking at their screen. Because Muffled Warfare has taken it one step further: it’s a multiplayer FPS where everyone is blind. The Steam description for Muffled Warfare, which will launch in Early Access on Friday, April 27, took the words right out of my mouth: “You’ve heard of that blind s

Radical Heights, Boss Key Productions’ free-to-play battle royale game, is receiving its first patch. “They will spin out of control less when riding normally,” the patch notes say, to which I have to ask: shouldn’t they never spin out of control while riding normally? Why would anything, when ridden normally, spin out of control? Anyway, it’s a major plus that bike handling is improved, and you’ll also have control in the air to do totally tubular flips and spins. You can peruse the full patch

Vox Machinae, which I played a couple weeks ago at an Oculus event near PAX East, looks to help fill that gap, and it does so splendidly so far. Vox Machinae is a multiplayer game, but knowing that it can be hard to fill servers in VR games, developer Space Bullet Dynamics populates matches with bots to make up for missing players. Vox Machinae will “probably” enter Early Access this year, say the devs, and at that point it will be a “complete game.” I’ve got a pretty easygoing stomach when it c

Dontnod, the French indie studio behind Life is Strange and upcoming vampire RPG Vampyr, is working on multiple unannounced games, according to a report from French site Le Figaro. The report (translated by a ResetEra user) says Dontnod is working on one unannounced title and in talks with “a leading industry publisher” about two more. In other words, one game is in development, and the studio has two other game ideas seeking publisher backing. Take that with a grain of salt, though; game ideas

As you would expect from a game about giant fighting robots in the 31st century, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is all about destruction. Witness, for instance, last month’s trailer, which was ostensibly intended to show off the game’s biomes but was really just a bunch of stuff blowing up. Today’s teaser is much the same, but more exuberantly musical, and without the pretense of being about anything but explosions. Developer Piranha Games says MechWarrior 5 will extend the “destructibility feature”

GOG has revealed that user profiles are on the way to its digital storefront, and to prepare for it three new privacy options have been added to the existing GOG account settings. The site isn’t saying much about the new profiles right now, “as we want you guys to experience it first-hand rather than reading some PR bla-bla,” GOG PR guy elcook wrote on the site forum. “Before it all goes live and will be available for you, we need to deal with all the formalities—launching profiles means adding

As Brode explains, fatigue damage didn’t always exist, and they only came up with it after Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan played Hearthstone for himself. “We were doing a playtest and we asked Jeff Kaplan to come over and try the game,” Brode said. In the early version of Hearthstone that Kaplan played, fatigue damage didn’t exist. Fatigue damage not only puts a hard cap on how long games can go on, it ties directly into the strategy of long matches. Racing fatigue makes for some exciting photo-

Earlier today, NVIDIA restocked its online store, but all the cards sold out after about an hour. The ASUS GTX 1080 Strix goes for around $800 these days, but it’s currently on sale for just $579.99. There’s RGB lighting on both the shroud and backplate, configurable using ASUS’ Aura software. You can buy the ASUS GTX 1080 Strix right now from SuperBiiz. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links.

As part of an ongoing process to update and fix the Xbox-exclusive Halo: Master Chief Collection, developer 343 is testing out the ability to import fanmade maps from Halo: Custom Edition into the console game. Halo: Custom Edition was an unofficial add-on for Halo PC, released back in 2004, that supported custom maps. This is longer lead proof-of-concept work that isn’t part of the near-term scope but he’s shared some exciting progress successfully loading a Halo Custom Edition map into MCC. Ha

If you’re ready to make the leap to a 4K display, then head over to BuyDig and check out this 2017 model LG 27-inch monitor (27UD59P-B). There is a clippable “PIVOT” coupon right there on the product page that knocks the price down from $400 to $275, with free shipping. The coupon applies to multiple quantities as well, in case you’re in the market for a multi-monitor setup. This monitor sports an IPS panel with a 10-bit color depth (8-bit + A-FRC) and 60Hz refresh rate. It won’t blow you away w

Today the Guardian reported that the alleged mastermind of the heist, Sindri Thor Stefansson, broke out of his frost-encrusted cell and fled the nation aboard the Prime Minister’s airplane. Of course, this being Iceland, it’s not quite as dramatic a bust-out as it might first sound. The number of people who have been arrested in connection with the theft is now up to 22, although the stolen computers still have not been recovered. As we noted in our original report, two million bucks is nothing

If you’re looking for (another) reason to get mad and scream at your computer about the inherent unfairness of the universe, PopCap’s infuriating, pachinko-inspired Peggle is now free on Origin. This isn’t the first time Peggle has gone On the House but it’s been awhile, and it’s definitely one worth having if you haven’t already picked it up. For as much as it is likely enrage you when the ball bounces this way instead of that, it’s an outstanding time-killer from PopCap’s best days: Bright, fl

Startup company Exklim claims that is not the case for its eX Core, a sleek and portable GPU dock for laptops. The eX Core is on Kickstarter where it has already surpassed its funding goal with still 21 days to go. According to the listing, it’s the “world’s smallest portable GPU for laptops,” though as TomsHardware points out, Lenovo sells a similarly sized graphics dock. Both solutions are powered by a GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. That’s a relatively tame graphics solution, though compared to most in

The clone command/clone Clones a selection of blocks to another location. Replace the latter section of the code with one of the following:Example: /difficulty peacefulAdd an effect to yourself or someone else/effect [seconds] [amplifier] [hideParticles]Adds a status effect to the targeted player.

Score an Epyc win for AMD in the supercomputing space as Cray, a long-time partner of Intel, has decided to add Epyc 7000 series processor options to its CS500 line of clustered supercomputers. The new Cray CS500 cluster configurations with Epyc inside provide four dual-socket nodes in a 2U chassis. “The AMD EPYC processors are expressly designed to provide highly scalable, energy- and cost-efficient performance in large and midrange clusters.” The partnership between Cray and AMD is limited to
