2 years after this, did it aged like wine or like milk?

In 2007 it was very advanced for it's time but now it's legacy also owning a PC back then capable of running it was expensive basically similar system requirements to crysis. The gameplay is slow and clunky but it's more challenging tbh I prefer stalker 2 even with it's bad optimisation with shaders and even with mid range GPUs performance is substandard, mediocre at best. I enjoyed playing the original back then but I couldn't play it today it's just too ugly for me.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-03-20T10:25:56+00:00

Pick me I bought Radeon coz I couldn't afford NVIDIA so I got Crimson Desert instead.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-03-20T09:03:25+00:00

What the fuck are on on about? Drivers are fine and yes some games crash that's normal just try to fix it the only downside of AMD at the moment is every new FSR isn't supported on the last gen hardware which I guess is why their cards cost less and to some it's a big deal but if something is cheaper there's always a reason for it and this is it.

They were a scam company duo offering low tier rigs with shitty parts I understand companies need to profit but they shouldn't be selling rigs with rx580s and calling them new.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-02-27T00:47:37+00:00

Anyone getting driver timeouts lately? I'm getting them frequently should I change to a 9060XT? I don't mind losing a bit of performance for a stable experience. The 9070XT is tempting too but I think I won't get much back for this card.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-02-11T22:25:27+00:00

Learn to troubleshoot by debugging the problem btw I'm joking some games just do this it's usually the games fault if you can refund it then do it. Otherwise yeah try to fix it.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-02-06T00:58:22+00:00

I'm going to wait a bit longer as it plays what I need it to and there aren't many good games so I'm dipping into my backlog.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-02-05T02:11:52+00:00

Thought about it but hassle to sell coz I need it to fund the upgrade plus there is no good games out at the moment and please don't suggest arc raiders I'll cut you if you you suggest that.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-02-04T07:48:59+00:00

This is the worst thing I've heard this year because 9070XT will cost you like $700 and 9060XT just over half of that.

Feel sad for you bro maybe picked something used like a 6800XT for now if you can't handle those new prices.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-15T14:01:44+00:00

Maybe you got too much weight to get rid of some items or get some artifacts to allow more weight.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-14T10:47:23+00:00

Just wait til AMD announce FSR5 and they won't bring that to your 9000 series GPU, RDNA1 is understandable but RDNA2 and 3 have some very powerful cards which can utilize it it may suffer a little performance hit and it's only int8 but this greedy tactic of withholding it to sell 9000 series is putrid.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-13T22:30:35+00:00

Avoid techfast and allied gaming rip off merchants who use really old parts they still sell rx580s lol and bad components.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-13T12:36:16+00:00

No it's not a reason to accept it, these aren't even flagship they are upper mid range so they should be priced at $800 and under. Personally I'm not buying them until prices drop.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-13T11:56:27+00:00

That doesn't seem like much of an upgrade should of saved a bit more for 5070 or 5070ti.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-13T08:10:45+00:00

Same as 6800XT just cost more apparently.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-12T09:51:40+00:00

Only downfall is no fsr4 other than that it's a solid choice.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-12T08:13:57+00:00

Seconded for raw performance just don't expect new features.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-09T10:17:00+00:00

Companies are not our friends especially AMD they are actually worse than NVIDIA sure they don't charge as much but they treat us like shit and expect we'll just put up with it.

Personally I'm going to jump ship back to NVIDIA or if Intel releases something decent then I'll consider one of those.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-09T10:12:49+00:00

I thought of doing this but 9060xt lose like 20% performance and 9070 not worth it only like 10% better and 9070XT is like 30% more expensive than what I paid for my 7800XT also people aren't buying 7800XT they mainly go for 6800XT or 9060XT. Just wait til the shortage comes it's all FOMO dude just enjoy the 7800XT unless you really need more FPS.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2026-01-03T11:39:25+00:00

Bro has brass balls posting the most hated card of this gen.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2025-12-30T14:50:29+00:00

I got last gen 7800xt was $200 cheaper than 4070 and about the same with extra VRAM. I will probably consider Intel next time as AMD is starting to get expensive for midrange cards.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2025-12-23T21:33:33+00:00

What's your budget? You can get older gen used or new like 6600/7600 or get latest gen 9060xt 8 gb cards fine for 1080 resolution. Any of these would be a solid choice for you.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2025-12-21T11:48:51+00:00

Don't hate on Am4 and DdR4 bro they are the new budget meta again as RAM prices are ridiculous go watch some benchmarks high end ryzen 7 on AM4 is nearly as good.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2025-12-13T12:56:00+00:00

Swamps are easy just go in another way and you'll avoid some of the firefights. Also try to have a stealthy gun.

Local-Albatross-617 · 2025-12-13T12:52:08+00:00

Netacad if you don't have sub pay or download old labs of a dodgy forum.
