We build an AMD gaming PC

Today I just grab my Fractal shelf and build with Dirty an AMD gaming PC with the ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire Notro RX 5700XT Nitro+ on an MSI MEG X570 ACE.

A Plague Tale: Innocence in review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint – Ubisoft's FarAssassinsDivisionCryCreed or how to get everything and nothing, including benchmarks

Let's be honest: I was really looking forward to the game. With Ghost Recon Wildlands I have already spent a lot of my rather scarce free time in the past – voluntarily and really motivated.
