    Current state of drivers AMD/nVidia?

    I am looking for a secondary video card that my kids will use to play some games at 1080p/1440.

    Rise of Industry

    Just found this game on Steam and I think it's pretty addicting, something I have been waiting for a long time. There is a limited demo you can play too. It is early access but the game looks pretty polished. If you like supply chain, logistics and trade check this game out.
