Dear Tim Sweeny, stop adding new features for the next 2 years. Please concentrate on optimising. That's it! Spend two years making your engine run not just a bit faster, but an order of magnitude faster. Leave no stone unturned. Think ID Tech 4k 60 on mid-range. Right now you are the Windows 11 of game engines.
Just watched the video (nice one Oliver), and to me once again it looks like Switch 2 witchcraft. I just can't get my head around the fact that it looks that good, and runs that well on a device you can fit in a coat pocket.
@Rich_Leadbetter Excellent advice, thank-you! My main issue right now is that back when I bought the system I was single and earning a good salary. Right now I am both engaged to be married and my business is going through a rough patch!
@Rich_Leadbetter Thank-you for asking! I have a 5600X/2080Ti/32GB RAM combo on a 55-Inch OLED TV, so I'll just have to make it last a few more years. It was top-tier when it was new, so I guess the lesson I've learned is that when you spend a bit more to begin with, it really will last a bit longer than your average kit. I shouldn't really complain too much, it can still do upscaled 4k/60 on low/medium settings with DLSS, it's just that I keep watching your videos featuring 5090s running at insane frame rates on max settings, and I'm jealous!
I'm very much the opposite. I built my current gaming PC back in November 2018, so it's definitely time for a refresh, but with prices as they are I'm pretty much shafted. Oh well.
Sadly, my personal belief is that Satya Nadella has absolutely no interest whatsoever in XBox. In fact, as far as I can tell, he has no interest in anything other than AI. See the current state of Windows for evidence. In my personal opinion, Asha (and her inevitable sucessor in 2 or 3 years) has been assigned to oversee a managed retreat, with the eventual intention of exiting the gaming business completely.

Re: Nvidia's new DLSS 5 Brings Photo-Realistic Lighting To RTX 50-Series
In the future I suspect that DLSS 5 will be seen as the point where Nvidia jumped the shark.

It should be "fewer DLC checks", not "less DLC checks".

Re: Yes, It's Still Possible To Build A Good Value Gaming PC
Would this system be capable of 1080p gaming at 60fps with medium settings? If so, it's good value
