The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU has been announced and new Ryzen CPUs coming
7 Jan 2020 at 3:23 am UTC

in my opinion seems dead product mainly for introduction price without forget tdp but at simple seek could use around 50w more than gtx 1660 ti / super

resuming this 5600 xt (2020 card) show similar performance around gtx 1070 (2016 card) but using possible aroud 20 to 30w more with around 50% reduced node (gtx 1070: 16nm / rx 5600: 7nm)

at simple seek seems very bad product, maybe amd need consider throw gcn for make new gpu arquitecture, especially in tdp related (more notorious with gtx cards because them lack of rt cores and in consequence show less tdp)

Quoting: barab4I hope that Gothic 3 will now work without massive stutters. Does anyone know when will this update be available on Steam? (I don't want to do any manual work, expect right click and select Proton version"
In my case stutter is reduced but need edit ge3.ini file:

FpS.Average=60.0
FpS.Min=10.0

to

FpS.Average=75.0
FpS.Min=60.0

Also i dont use proton, i use wine vanillla 32bit compiled (32bit prefix for older games)

without forget have in game binary folder this libraries with d9vk:
