Can AMD’s Crimson 16.1.1 Hotfix Rise to the Occasion? Last week, Rise of the Tomb Raider launched and received fairly good reviews. We then benchmarked the game to see how AMD and Nvidia GPUs stack up, along with checking out the CPU side of things. At the time, AMD was running “unoptimized” drivers while Nvidia…
What a Friday, what a week, what a… Blogcast? This week Mr. Clements abandoned us, and with Justin still gallivanting around Japan, Sid and I were left to operate the heavy machinery. It took us 45 minutes to figure out how to turn the microphones on, but when we finally did we discussed the packed…
The last few months have seen some incredibly low prices on memory and storage products, particularly SSDs. That’s great for consumers but not so for manufacturers, who have been struggling to turn a profit. That looks set to flip.

Given the sheer magnitude of Animal Crossing‘s popularity (New Horizons is currently sitting pretty at 46.45 million units sold on Switch), it’s no surprise that other companies will want to take a peek at Nintendo’s homework and conjure up something similar.
