  1. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Release Moves Forward by a Week to February 4, PC Hardware Requirements Revealed

    Wouldn't say that completely, the move from High to Ultra settings in the requirements is about a 50% performance jump recommendation in GPU performance according to the requirements table. I think the GPU will be very GPU-bound at Ultra settings, but yes, the game does also seem to be...
  2. NZXT Addresses Concerns About Flex Subscription Program After It’s Accused of Being a “Predatory, Evil” Rental Scam

    As an aside, I really like NZXT hardware. I think they make great components and cases. They also have a really great aesthetic, and design language as well, that I like.
  3. GSC Explains Why It Couldn’t Delay S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Any Longer to Fix Bugs: “You’re So Tired That You Would Just Die”

    No, no software is perfect, at some point you have to make a decision to release the thing and accept the bugs it has, and hope you can fix some of them later. If you held it indefinitely, until it is all fixed, it would never be released. Deadlines do have to be met. This even happens with...
  4. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Reveals PC System Requirements, Including Ray Tracing That Can’t Be Disabled and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 for H...

    Except it isn't new, many games based on UE5, like Avatar, utilize Ray Tracing by default, and you can't turn it off, it's native to the game. Granted, it runs in a software mode, on cards that don't support hardware ray tracing, but the fact is, this is not a new concept. In addition, it is...

  6. GSC Explains Why It Couldn’t Delay S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Any Longer to Fix Bugs: “You’re So Tired That You Would Just Die”

    They've already released 3 patches since launch, and it just launched, so I'm not worried, quite impressed with the patch releases to be honest. Could have been worse, and let a lot of time elapse between patches, or not fix things at all, heh.

  12. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review

    Continuing the topic - I also have data that allows me to conclude that 4K game testing is a waste of time for a CPU review. If you go back, and look at all my reviews where I have done this, 4K is always, always, always, the same performance on every CPU. From that data, I would conclude that...

    Because you are GPU-bound at the higher resolutions. But what happens if you upgrade your GPU, instantly the CPU choice will show a difference, and it becomes more pronounced and more pronounced over time. In the goal of reviewing CPU performance, we have to test in a way that does exactly...
  14. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review

    If I test gaming performance at 4K, I am in a GPU-bound scenario, and then I am not performing a CPU review. My goal was to perform a CPU review, therefore I must put the system into a CPU-bound gaming scenario so that I can test CPU performance. Here are some relevant references.
