I don't really see many games which are CPU bound for me anyway, most are limited by the GPU, so what exactly does benefit from more cache?

Hmm:

Looks like they don't even plan it. Dealing with this asymmetry is a scheduling mess, so I'd rather go with symmetric ones even without extra cache.

Are these new X3Ds still asymmetrical? I.e. extra cache only on half of the cores? I'd prefer a fully symmetrical one once they get to it.

Blood West is pretty good!

I consider all upscaling worthless, so no points for me. Awaiting some real world results!

Yeah, I'm not using upscaling either. It would be interesting to see the comparison of 7900 XTX and 9070 XT in non ray tracing scenarios.

Should've just axed the non-XT variant and worked on making a beefier XTX version instead.

I think they need the unified UDNA architecture for that which will happen in the next generation. I.e. they deliberately skipped XTX for this one from what I've heard for architectural reasons.

Some details here:

Hopefully it's not UE5

What else is there? Hopefully Godot can become high end enough, but seems like UE5 is the most common go to engine for those who don't develop their own. What's more surprising that even giants like CDPR went for it, instead of investing in their own.

That said, I'm looking forward to this one more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkICrJEVTjI [External Link]

UPDATE:

Ugh, what's going on with links - nothing works. Search for "The Blood of Dawnwalker — Cinematic Trailer"

> WHY would anyone use it

I use my own scripts and installation method with lgogdownloader which is more barebones than this, but gives me full control over what I'm doing. So may be there is an appeal for something more automated for those who don't want to make their own tools but also don't want a whole load of unrelated stuff that Lutris / Heroic have.

I knew the art style reminded me something. It's the same studio that made the Longing!

Looks pretty fun!

This one indeed fixes the regression in 10.1 that caused Cyberpunk 2077 to hang with CET enabled.
