I wish IO Interactive nothing but the best. Unfortunately the game sequences shown were of disappointing quality - both from a technical and gameplay perspective.

Definitely not a game I am interested in anymore.

@Eruanno Even if it was a cut down 8GB 9060XT the Steam Machine would be extremely interesting because FSR4 Performance Mode is a really nice option for gaming on a couch computer.

The 7060m on the other hand with FSR2/3.1 upscaling is not something I would use on my UHD television under any circumstance. It just doesn't look good.

I bought a desktop 5070 last summer for 500€ including a free copy of Doom: TDA.

Its 12GB VRAM was really already the lowest allocation I considered.

Considering the PlayStation 6's rumored memory size (24-30GB), I hope a future RTX 6080 or 6070Ti is going to give us 24GB at least.

That's the GPU I hope will then finally fullfil my pathtracing dreams.

I remember the days when people marveled at Call of Duty's graphical prowess but those days have long since passed.

I don't expect gigantic leaps but maybe this move will finally let the studios flex their muscles a bit more.

@Granadico I think some UbiSoft games make (limited) use of the controller's features.

@Granadico If you want to be cynical you could argue that by not implementing the anti scalper measures for the release, Valve made sure to minimise its own financial risk. Selling as many contollers as possible from the first batch is a way to make sure you recoup as much of the development cost as possible even if the product is a bomb.

Now that they have a better grasp of consumer demand, they can swoop in with the "scalper protection".

I think it is absolutely the right decision to part ways with the Ryzen5 3600. It launched seven years ago! That's an entire console gen.

Although I personally would go even a step further and test with a Ryzen 7500f (it's a 120€ part after all). It would give DF a long-term baseline for the foreseeable future instead of having to consider making the next jump from the 5600 once again in a couple of years and devaluing the comparison data in the process.

The 7500f/7600 you could realistically keep using for the remainder of the decade.

Damn, I was unaware there was new memory coming for AM5. I bought a kit of Lexar Ares 6000MhzCL26 last year right as prices were beginning to skyrocket.

On the other hand upgrading from one AM5 motherboard to another is not very economical anyway. My RAM kit is probably going to be plenty fast for the remainder of this generation.

So I'll probably make the jump to new memory (and a BTF motherboard) with next gen. Until then my 9800x3d is going to suffice.

So on paper I find this news exciting but unless you're new to AM5 or a real enthusiast it is hard to justify pursuing that upgrade path.

After I suffered the second consecutive mouse wheel failure with my Logitech mouse, I ordered a ASUS ROG Gladius III that was on sale and have been very happy with my purchase.

ASUS definitely appears to be underrated in that segment of computer hardware.

If I decide to go wireless again with my next mouse, I am definitely going to consider this model.
