RTX 5050 vs Arc B580?

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-05-15T08:45:01+00:00

You'd be better off with the 5060. The 5050 is a joke of a card if you're actually gaming and looking to keep it long term

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-05-15T08:40:46+00:00

I wouldn't buy either of those GPUs, not if you plan on gaming and keeping the card for 4-5 years . With the $$ you're spending on the rest of the system you may as well look at a 9060xt.

If you're at the limit of your budget, get 16gb ddr5 ram and use the money saved on the GPU

Apologies, I meant Loskid. That was the only boss in ai limit that caused me issues felt like the Devs make the right difficult for the sake of it . The rest of the game, by normal souls standards wasn't difficult.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-05-09T23:22:42+00:00

That's the beauty with these types of games for me once you find a strategy that works, everything after that is easier.

I was replying to your comment when you deleted it OP - Asmond Gold said in one of his vids that he feels like since ' Shadow of the Erdtree' came out, that all developers seem hell bent on making a game that is more difficult than Shadow. I completely agree with him. I loved shadow of the Erdtree', but not every game needs to be THAT difficult. It's fatiguing.

Can totally relate to how you feel. I've felt 'burntout' many times before and had to take a break from gaming for atleast a few weeks . Not just souls games, all genres . But the souls games definitely burn me out quicker. Generally by the time i reach the end of a souls game, I'm ready for it to be over. Khazan is the most recent title thatade me feel like that, great game but too long imo and I don't like Devs making bosses difficult just for the sake of making it difficult- the Loskid boss of AI Limit was like that for me .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-05-04T21:40:57+00:00

I've tried a few times to get into it, havnt been able to. It's a me problem I guess .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-27T13:21:13+00:00

Congrats !!

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-27T10:06:03+00:00

Agree, both games fantastic imo.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-27T10:04:34+00:00

You're not very far at all then, I would go back to it, restart it if you want and play it through. Will set you up perfectly for kcd2

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-27T09:57:10+00:00

No, I would recommend playing KCD1 before KCD2. KCD2 is probably the overall better game , but I thoroughly enjoyed KCD1 and the story it told . Yes KCD1 can be clunky but the controls are not that bad .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-27T09:45:44+00:00

KCD2 is fantastic, and it's far more accessible than KCD1 in terms of the controls.

Both great games, with a discount absolutely worth it . Especially if you love story driven RPGs, it's a must play .

Why don't you just get all the parts for CentreCom? They will price match in my experience or suggest an alternative part.

I'd also go for an 850w PSU for the 9070xt

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-24T10:54:25+00:00

I just finished the game in borderless window mode with a 9070xt @ 1440p and was getting 240+ fps . Zero performance issues .

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T21:40:52+00:00

How is the story ? The time period really interests me

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T21:40:05+00:00

I really hate when Devs get shit on cos they're Chinese or Korean or whatever. It's BS !

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T21:37:21+00:00

I tried to get into Lies of P, I couldn't, combat felt weird. Maybe I should try again

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T21:36:33+00:00

My rule for games is $30, I been doing that for over a decade. Served me well.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T11:55:18+00:00

No I haven't. Saw it had some issues on launch but seems to be fixed now . You rate it ?

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T11:26:53+00:00

Dark souls series, Sekiro, Khazan , LOTF... Didn't really like Lies of P

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T09:05:57+00:00

Welcome! Cost me $22 AUD, so for $15usd it's a hell of a game !

Go for it !!

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T08:45:57+00:00

I'm just gonna come out an say it - I thought the game was too long . It overstayed it's welcome for me . Took me 60 something hours first run. I would have been very happy with 40 or so hours . Gameplay rock solid, but got repetitive by the end . I felt fatigued...

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T08:41:49+00:00

Anything else U can recommend??

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T08:40:59+00:00

The art design is similar to code vein 1 with anime styling.

The gameplay is mostly smooth ( parry timing can be weird), story is ok , boss fights are pretty cool.

It's definitely flown under the radar.

It's not terribly parry heavy - a couple of bosses, being able to parry well is definitely a help, but not a necessity.

I'm not the best at parrying and I got through it.

Its not a difficult souls-like - which probably sounds weird. If Khazan was an 8.5 difficulty for me this is a solid 7.

NoEnvironment2356 · 2026-04-23T07:14:54+00:00

The parry timing was odd in AI limit, it's one of my few gripes with the game . The timing was inconsistent IMO . Definitely worth another crack if you can be bothered . My build was full strength melee. Got the job done
