The EKWB XLC Predator 240 cooler, all Ryzen’d up.ĬPU cooler: Did I say the CPU boosts to 4GHz? While that’s technically true on the spec sheet, there’s more to the story-at least if you’re using certain hardware and software configurations. The Ryzen 7 1800X rocks stock clock speeds of 3.6GHz, ramping up to 4GHz when more oomph is required.
Processor: The Ryzen 7 1800X ($500 on Amazon) is AMD’s new flagship processor-an 8-core, 16-thread beast with a mere 95W TDP and a sticker price that’s less than half- half-that of a comparable Intel processor, the $1,050 Core i7-6900K. Simultaneously, Microsoft also released a slew of premium Mass Effect avatar outfits ranging from MSP320 ($4) suits of Alliance armor to MSP80 ($1) shirts.But I’m getting ahead of myself! First, here’s a look at what’s beating inside this beastly rig’s heart, starting with the star of the show. Those details came early Tuesday, when the Pinnacle Station add-on went live, costing MSP400 ($5) and weighing in at 246MB. Reps for BioWare parent Electronic Arts politely declined to immediately offer further details. The expansion will have players "test the limits of combat prowess" in "13 exciting combat scenarios," apparently confirming reports that it would feature a gladiatorial arena of sorts.Īs of press time, Microsoft had not returned requests for comment on the Pinnacle Station page or whether the expansion would be released for the PC edition of Mass Effect. By contrast, Pinnacle Station is described as having two-to-three hours of gameplay and set aboard "a remote, top-secret Alliance space station," which can be landed on a planet's surface.
The first Mass Effect DLC, Bring Down the Sky, cost MSP400 ($5) but only featured 90 minutes of gameplay set on a planet-threatening asteroid. However, the flat page for Mass Effect, which can itself be bought digitally via Games on Demand, does list a " Pinnacle Station Theme" for MSP240 ($3) as being available for immediate purchase. Titled Pinnacle Station, the add-on does not yet have a price or release date, and any attempt to purchase it results in a prompt for a special promotional code. Hopefully, Pinnacle Station's "combat scenarios" won't pit players against Krogan warriors or Ansari commandos. Now, over two months later, the second downloadable expansion has finally surfaced on -apparently by accident. Back in June, BioWare's Twitter page promised an announcement about new Mass Effect downloadable content within days.
