PC and Steam: Thread 02

To remind you, you're limiting that 4060 by running it on a PCIe 3 platform (8x 3.0 is effectively 16x 2.0). I don't think a 5700X3D is a bad buy right now, especially if you're wanting to carry over existing RAM. That'll let your 4060 run as it is designed to (just make sure you go for a board with PCIe 4 support) and you'll have a decent CPU too.

The difference will probably be less than 5%.

This just looks incredible, it’s what your brain thinks it looked like first time round, as if it always was like this, awesome stuff.

I saw that game and ....something just really really does not look right about it, i cannot put my finger on it could be the use of AI but i dunno if its just me but there seems to be very little animation as well with ships seemingly just being rotated

There were some RTX 5090 back in stock at CCL this evening, but the cheapest available was £2599 - I've seen cheaper scalper cards on eBay, so I passed on that. Still sold out though, so they're all gone again now. It does look like stock is starting to become a little bit more available.

They'll be widely available in a few months when Trump drives the RRP up to over $4000

Maybe not, but I wouldn’t put it past retailers to pump prices up regardless.
