For the sake of your wallet. If you feel the itch to impulse buy, if you got a bit of FOMO, just wishlist it and pretend you bought. Every few weeks or so, review your list and see if you still feel the same about those games. This also gives some time for patches.

I saw this in a comment section today and so many people are acting like ddr4 is not usable anymore and they expect everyone to be able to afford ddr5 ram with those prices when ddr4 is still completely fine to use.

I harvested it out of an old HP all in one pc.

My backlog will keep me busy from fomo

Another day and Another Emulator test upload. Why do I keep posting these? Because I want to for one and Because I personally think Emulation is the greatest form of Gaming there is. The fact that we can run New-ish PS5 games on PC at higher Framerates than the Original console this fast is Super Impressive.

The Best thing going on in the PC Gaming space right now are Decomps, Recomps and Emulation. There is nothing else to talk about IMO. The RAMpocalypse has killed most interest in new tech bceause Its Unaffordble for the vast majority of ppl.

Its Kinda Ironic really.

AI Killed the DIY Market and made new hardware Unobtanium for the majority of ppl. But on the Flipside, AI is helping to bring Unofficial PC Ports of games at Breakneck Speeds.

I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

(((FYI: Yes, This is using DLSS Frame Generation- I know the majority of you hate Frame Generation but I honestly dont give a Shit. In single player games I actually like using Frame Generation when the Base FPS is at least 80 to 90 FPS. But this is only a Test))))

PC Specs: 9800X3D / RTX 5080 / 32GB of RAM

Thanks for the support,

So, after Sony decided to kill of discs in 2028, I thought it’d be a good idea to switch to PC (if I’m forced to buy digital anyway, then I’ll buy digitally for way cheaper).

Apparently I got a very good deal on my GPU in comparison to the economy at least - I got a 5080 and a 9800X3D, which probably is overkill especially for the first gaming pc, but I wanted something that’ll wipe the floor with a ps5 pro. And what can I say… this shit was SO worth it.

It took a while to set up (including some frustration for a complete pc noob like me), but now I can play on my couch with controller on a 77” OLED TV with Surround Sound. To play games like Cyberpunk with Path Tracing in 4K AND constant smooth framerate is an alien feeling to me.

I was a PlayStation gamer since day 1, I started on PS2 - I always thought I don’t need the good features of PC gaming like not having to worry about backwards compatibility or modding, but now that I actually have a good PC, I’m replaying some games that I enjoyed on PS5, and my god, it looks and feels like a completely new experience.

TLDR:

I was a console player since day one, switched to PC thanks to Sonys fuck-up, and I wouldn’t EVER consider going back to console. Now I can experience true peak gaming.

Fuck you Sony. I hope more people switch to PC - IF they have the possibility to spend some bucks on a PC, they should do it. I was missing out big time.

At 4.8GHZ it is 3% faster than Arrow Lake in single thread performance, assuming it clocks JUST the same as Arrow Lake it will be more than 20% faster!

There is a native Windows port of the PS4 version of Shadow of the Colossus (original port by AjncSystem). It is not an emulator: the game's own code runs on the CPU and the GPU commands are translated to Vulkan. A community fork of it has been getting a lot of updates lately, and the latest release is 0.60.6-plus9, so I thought it was worth sharing.

What the fork adds:

- 60 FPS in the Shrine of Worship (59-61 FPS uncapped on a Ryzen 7 5700X + RTX 5060 Ti; it used to sit around 53), by removing thousands of unnecessary render-pass restarts per second.

- Upscaling and frame generation: FSR 1, FSR 3.1 and DLSS Super Resolution (internal render size up to 1440p), plus DLSS-G / FSR 3 frame generation.

- Ultrawide: 21:9 and 32:9 with a wider view, not stretched.

- Video memory is automatic: it reads the budget the driver gives and picks the texture and buffer limits itself.

- Faster starts: the driver's pipeline cache is saved to disk.

- Launcher options: borderless fullscreen, controller vibration on/off, and frame generation without interpolating the HUD (experimental, so the health/stamina bars stop shaking).

- A mitigation for the "texture page pool ran out" crash in wide open-world views. It is a mitigation, not a guaranteed fix, since the bug is in the game itself.

In the open world it runs around 45-55 FPS on that same setup (the video shows it), so 60 FPS is for the Shrine, not everywhere.

Known limits: native 4K is blocked on purpose (fine textures get blurrier, and it runs around 43 FPS on that card); 1080p -> 4K with FSR/DLSS gets about 52-58 FPS. Some AMD GCN cards still need testing on Windows, and there is a known black-bar bug on the stamina gauge at 21:9.

About the Video: it was recorded on 0.60.6-plus9, and the FPS panel reads about 3 FPS lower while the screen is being recorded. Performance in the Shrine has not changed much since then, so it is still representative of the current release.

You need your own legal dump of the game (CUSA08809 or CUSA08034); nothing from the game or from Sony's firmware is included.

Went for a retro look.

My CPU is an i7 3770, it does not have TPM 2.0 compatability/FTPM available. HOW is it on windows 11/what to do.

(Got it prebuilt last christmas, looking for genuine help)

I know that the aio is overkill but i have hade bad experienses with overheating and it is for aesthetics. I have nvidia because I also have hade bad experienses with amd. I also got all of this exept the coler on a massive deal so I saved 400$.

I don’t know who is out there on the fence about pulling the trigger on an oled monitor, but do it!

I upgraded from a 1080p 180hz ips to a 1440p 240hz glossy oled LG 27GX704A-B, and I couldn’t be happier.

I’m not a 2 monitor guy but I set them up side by side for comparison, and the difference was insane. Gaming today on the new monitor was so much more enjoyable.

Treat yo self.

It’s literally in my bedroom closet but it has a nice cozy feeling.

Tom's posted a leaked video from factories in China desoldering 5090s to add ram and blower style coolers for AI server use. I know this was covered in the past by u/Gamers-Nexus, but I have a strong suspicion that this direct competition with chinese data centers helped drive the recent spikes in GPU prices.

Additionally, the story that Nvidia is reallocating resources to server grade chips doesn't explain why they pulled completed gaming GPUs. So, I also suspect that the trend is the underlying reason 5090s have been pulled from the shelves - to enforce export controls in the AI race.
