PC Gaming

I am redeeming many codes from game giveaways like on Amazon Prime on GOG and recently ran into the issue that what feels like half the time I have to solve a captcha to redeem the code.

I am not even "spamming" codes, it is like once a week two to three codes. The problem is that the type of captcha GOG uses is very very often completely unsolvable. I have to skip through many until I find one that I have the experience that it will work.

Is there any way around that? I cannot believe people would be spamming codes so much that redeeming them should require captchas.

I'm looking to buy an RX 9060 XT and was hoping to collect more sources comparing different models. I'm mainly looking for noise & temperature comparisons between the base models available.

So far the best source I found is Techpowerup. They have comparisons for stock behaviour and noise normalised between the 6 models they tested. Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT Pulse OC 16 GB Review
Unfortunately, they've mostly tested the huge triple fan designs until now. From the base models, the Reaper has terrible cooling and the Sapphire Pulse unfortunately only offers 1 DisplayPort connector.

Hardware Unboxed also only compares 3 higher end models in their review. AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Review, Gaming Benchmarks!

Does anyone have reviews for the other base models, XFX Swift (dual fan) and ASRock Challenger?

This is the weekly post about how many signatures have been collected this week for the EU petition on the stop killing games campaign to prevent game publishers from intentionally destroying their games after official support ends.

I revised the post title to include the intiative's name as the original post title without the community's context made this needlessly vague

TL;DW:
Nvidia's RTX 5050 is a waste of your time, money, and trust as a tech consumer and PC gamer.

Please consider buying a used GPU on Ebay, Kijiji, or anywhere else you can as you will get a much better deal than this.

As a monopoly with 92% marketshare, Nvidia is actively choosing to deceive consumers to buy whatever they're selling.
