Autumn Aurora 2 it's modification made by small group from Poland which brings the autumnal atmosphere to the Zone and totally overhauls the graphics, audio and gameplay of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
I been trying to play aurora 4x, but the UI is horrendous it can't be resize. I try to solve this by finding mods, but it was a disappointment there almost no mods, only player-races pictures. I wonder why such free and complex 4x game has almost non existent mods compare to games of same formula like dwarf fortress and cataclysm dark days ahead. Is there any answer for this ?

The Alphacool Aurora GPX-N RTX 3070 Acryl is a complete redevelopment of the previous Alphacool graphics card water coolers. No technical compromises were made, but the entire technical know-how flowed into the development and implementation.
DLSS is a revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance. Powered by the new fourth-gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 uses AI to create additional high-quality frames.
The graphics card features excellent power phase design to allow the MOSFETs to operate at lower temperatures and provide a more stable voltage output. Load balancing of each MOSFET can effectively improve the overclocking performance and extend the life of the card.
We want you to experience the best service you have ever had. This is why, on top of our standard 3-year warranty, we would like to offer you an additional 1 year of protection to your graphics card free of charge. You can enjoy a 4-year warranty by registering on the website within 30 days of purchase.
With AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs, Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake, plus new high-end GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD seemingly right around the corner, right now may not be the best time to buy a new gaming desktop. Then again, if you've been waiting years to buy a gaming rig thanks to GPU availability issues surrounding crypto mining and the pandemic, you might be pretty sick of waiting. And it seems highly likely that we'll only see fresh graphics cards on the very high-end ($900 plus) this year anyway.
Looking at other aspects of internal expandability, you can double up the DDR5 RAM (32GB in our review unit), or swap out the two sticks here for a maximum 128GB total in the four slots. There's also a closed-end PCIe x4 slot above the graphics card, but whatever card you consider putting in there will have to be single- slot, and shouldn't get too warm as it will be sitting right above the GPU. All in all, for a compact mid-tower from a big-box PC maker, the expandability here is pretty good.
We ran our typical Metro Exodus stress test on the Alienware Aurora R13, simulating a half-hour of gaming by looping the benchmark 15 times. We were curious about how hot the Core i7 CPU would get with just a 120mm AIO cooling it, but we saw an average CPU package temperature of just 64.84 degrees Celsius, with one brief peak at 82 degrees C. That's far from the 100 degrees C you'd need to hit for the CPU to throttle. And frame rates were also extremely consistent on this test, with a high average of 60.29 frames per second (fps) on the second run and a low of 60.21 fps.That being said, if you're hoping to do serious CPU-hammering tasks with your Core i7 CPU, the cooling here isn't adequate. When running our Cinebench R23 stress test, temperatures approached 100 degrees Celsius within a matter of seconds, and the CPU throttled down to keep temperatures under control. This both limits your performance and means the cooler gets very loud. Again, this isn't an issue when gaming, and most Alienware buyers are going to primarily interested in gaming. But considering Alienware doesn't offer a larger cooling option, you should opt for another system if you want to do lots of video editing or other time-consuming CPU tasks. And if gaming is your primary concern, you're better off opting for a Core i5 model and spending more on the graphics card and/or fast storage for games, anyway.
Looks aside, easily the biggest advantage that the new Alienware Aurora R13 has over its older siblings is the adoption of PCIe 5.0 compatibility and DDR5 support through Intel's Alder Lake Gen 12 processors. Our review unit came running the powerful Intel Core i9-12900KF, with SK-hynix 64GB DDR5 RAM clocked at 4400MHz, and an RTX 3080. That's a pretty good combo, and while the gaming RAM and graphics card are far from the flagship status of the processor, they're still more-than-solid additions in a build like this.
We have earlier tested the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3090/3080 Suprim X with Backplate water block for the MSI GeForce RTX 3080/3090 series graphics cards. This time we are spinning the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GPX-N Acryl Active Backplate 3080/3090 Suprim X which is to be used in conjunction with the above-mentioned water block.
The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acrylic GPX-N 3080/3090 SUPRIM X with Backplate is a water block for the supported MSI GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 graphics cards. Now, Alphacool has released Eisblock Aurora GPX-N Acrylic Active Backplate 3080/3090 Suprim X which can be used in conjunction with the Eisblock cooler.
Why Active Backplate? Nvidia with its 3000 series of graphics cards has implemented VRAMs on the backside of the PCB on high-end models only. This would mean, we need more cooling towards the backside of the PCB as well. We have seen high operating temperatures on these VRAMs (this would vary from model to model, manufacturer to manufacturer, etc). In our case, the MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio 24G has seen a maximum VRAM temperature of 96 or 97C in the past using the stock backplate and cooler.
The manufacturers of water cooling components quickly acted and started releasing active backplates to cope with the high operating temperatures on the VRAM of these graphics cards. The concept is alike the main cooling engine concept for the GPU itself except that we are now water cooling the VRAMs on the backside of the PCB as well as the power delivery circuits.
Alphacool has integrated 6x digital RGB LEDs in the block for some vivid illumination. Alphacool is using proprietary 3-pin connectors for the lighting making it compatible in their ecosystem though I would have loved to see the use of standard 3-pin 5V connectors. Since this active backplate will be used along with the main cooler for the graphics card, the user needs not to be worried as the main cooler has an adapter cable allowing the cable to the motherboard. 2ff7e9595c
