$80 Holiday

Xbox abandons $80 price tag for the rest of its Holiday line-up

Following the surprise announcement last month that Microsoft’s upcoming holiday titles would retail for $80 (starting with The Outer Worlds 2), the console maker backtracked on this decision, instead charging the more ‘standard’ $70. It seems as though Obsidian’s upcoming RPG isn’t the only game being lowered to $70 – with all of Microsoft’s upcoming Holiday titles dropping back down to the previous industry standard.

    Thanks KitGuru – been struggling to work out how to get my Corsair 4 x 4GB 2800MHz to play ball in my Rampage V – just the article I needed to get my head around the XMP settings 🙂

    Is there any real difference between DDR3 and DDR4 that would justify to get DDR4 for a new rig right now despite the difference in price ?

    You don’t have a choice if you plan on building an X99 system. It only uses DDR4 memory modules and you can’t use DDR4 on Z97 and older mainstream motherboards. But if you mean Z97 with DDR3 vs X99 with DDR4, then their is real and significant performance difference.

    yes, I meant Z97+DDR3 vs Z99+DDR4, especially for games.
