Last time I had a CPU past 8 cores was X79. 8/16 is great for gaming. Heck, my 5600X3D has never been a limitation of note. Shader comp takes longer, but no BFD. The 4K thing is silly to me. Having a 7900XTX, in newer games with the settings I prefer, can't always handle native 4K smoothly...

Prefacing my remarks; I rarely play games on release or even near it, unless bundled with hardware. This subsequently means I do not immediately upgrade drivers. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I have not had crashes or other issues with teams red or green that were a problem on the vendors...

Okay, I took the time to watch the game play and I'm sold. The story and setting seems like old school Gears. Tai was a great reveal. Hopefully they have worked some magic to make whatever iterations of UE5 used, not suck. My gut tells me some of the quick clips of game play were on Series S. A...

If they still have all of the copy pasta levels, you will not have a good time in some levels of the game. It was the biggest complaint by us PC gamers back in 2004? When they released it. The same stupid corridors, over and over. Follow the arrows on the floor, because it will get so...

I am an OG Gears head. Pre-ordered and played co-op day 1. I had a great time in all but 4. I don't know what they were thinking with that one. 5 I dig the combat, but dislike the story in 4 and 5. I hope they have permanently abandoned the Disney princess storyline. This prequel is supposed to...

LMAO that would be amazing. psolord would stroke out. All that compute with only 8GB is his worst nightmare. Correct settings™ Or lower internal res but always max textures. Some games the visual difference with texture quality is not a big deal, for many, it is. I still don't think this...

CachyOS on both my main PCs. Plan to try a few distros on my 3rd build. Manjaro is one I've dabbled in before, along with Mint and Ubuntu. Holo.iso and Bazzite felt to geared to the Steam Deck and other handhelds. SteamOS will hopefully be super polished on the Machine, if it ever comes out.

Looking forward to it. I confess it is possible I am being too harsh on the rascally rabbit. As it strikes me as being a better card the way Fabio tested it, than with the proper review methodology. He used it in a more realistic build, with more realistic settings. I hope he retests in Linux...

It is close in raster loses with RT. Had vram spillover in a game when the 5070 did not. DLSS is still the gold standard for upscaling. The 007 game code can be sold if the buyer does not want it. Otherwise that makes it close to the same price. Simply no reason for windows gamers to buy the...

Yes, I read it. Good review, but bad bang for buck card. MSI 5070 on Amazon is $606, comes with the 007 game, has a superior software stack, and better vram management in windows. Easy pick really.

Overpriced Chinese market slop

Yo dawg, we heard you like that founder's edition blower, so we put it on your ram, so you can have tiny blowers to remind you of the big blower when they are blowing. Largely pointless gimmick with more moving parts to break. Hoping to capitalize on fears of ram dying on you. Time stamped

Right on cue, John gets it. Uncharted 4 is 10 years old. John makes the comment that on PS5 running 60fps it looks better than 007 in some ways.

It looks like a decade old game. And a Tomb Raider clone at that. I see there is a lot of hitman too.

They do. Here is a prime example. Reddit thread about Zen 5. Click on open or Anandtech.com and you end up at Tom's. EDIT: BTW, everyone and their little bro captured the Grand Finale https://web.archive.org/web/20250728143805/https://www.anandtech.com/

Indy Jones worked, so why not? We can probably expect to see some other old school properties get a fresh coat of paint. I could go for a Star Trek game that does right, everything Starfield does, only better. While not doing the things it does wrong.

Asha has been making some great moves since taking over. There is real excitement in the XBOX community. The brand damage is severe though. I don't think she can ignore the money Steam gamers would spend. And we have already seen that game sales are seriously impacted by failure to launch there...

Brace yourselves for sticker shock.

Still in the archives, but yeah, bummer. Redirecting to Tom's is the cherry on the :poop: sundae.

You know the Doc did the deep dives and CPUs at Anandtech right?
