Chroma: Bloom And Blight is an ambitious upcoming competitive card game - on Kickstarter and demo up

With these changes, they pull me back to the game from time to time :) These big changes really give a new twist to the game and improves the gaming quality a lot. The only issue remaining is the Multiplayer Savegame transfer, which is somehow limited to 32KBps, and it is really annoying, it takes 5 minutes for the 3 of us to start a savegame while we all have 200+ Mbps

This is a really good update, it gave DU a GUI update which makes the game a more finished feeling. The gameplay is fantastic and the balance is really getting better.
Big Thumbs up for Steam!!!!

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: keanThat is not a problem for me, I have 70+ AMD cards for mining, I have no issue with BIOS tinkering :D Only the driver issues I had in the past.
Ah, as you mention mining: I sold my old hardware on eBay (for the first time) and wondered why anybody would want my very old GTX660. Do you happen to know if it's useful for mining?
No clue, it is too ineffective for any mining, I only mine ethash with my GPUs. I have cheap electricity and it is still only 30-35% profit vs 65-70% electricity cost

Quoting: keanHow is the driver support? I am planning to upgrade my CPU and GPU (1600 and 1060) to a 3600/3600x and 5600XT. I had issues in the past with my RX 480, but never with the 1060. Would you recommend switching back to AMD?
I wouldn't do that, the 5600XT had a very bad launch. You don't know if you will get the card previous vBios or the new one, with higher clocks. Also have in mind that the card only has 6Gig of ram and with the new console generation the vRAM requirements are going to increase, so at least search for an 8 gig card.
If i were you a would wait to see new launches, the card can hold a little longer and also the cpu.
Nvidia also has a new architecture, that will mean that previous generations will drop in price to clear inventory, so you can pick a 5700/2070 with the money of a 5600/2060.

RNG ruins the gameplay especially in Knockout, however, DUOs are really good and compensates for RNG, but you need to be on voice comm to be effective. Although I still play a lot of knockouts when I am on the phone.
