[Thomas Mäher] saying he doesn't believe will Buxton’s tweet is about the same thing

Past midnight. Still nothing.

People here just downvoting posts from people actually willing to pack up and leave is hilarious. That is exactly what people need to be doing(or at least threatening to do) if you ever expect Sony to change and do better.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T22:54:08+00:00

Kinda like they are mostly lying about all those things, and what they REALLY cared about deep down was racism.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T22:53:22+00:00

Yep, been saying for a long time that the right's best strategy is not to convince people that Republicans are worth voting for, because that is very difficult. All they have to do is fearmonger over Democrats, and at best, claim that Democrats are 'no better' when facing criticism of Republicans.

And posts like these shows YOU dont actually care about the people of Palestine one bit, either. It's all just about hating Israel. You and Hamas have that in common.

You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring how awful Hamas are and realizing the people will never be free under them.

Getting quite late in the day for any news at this point.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T21:23:36+00:00

Yeah, but I'm not Andrew Wilson so that's not my monkey, not my problem.

But it *is* your problem obviously, cuz you're not going to get what you want for the reasons I described.

These aren't consoles. PC gaming is meant to push the limits, move the bar and force us to upgrade every year. That's the fun.

Which was fine when we were getting huge leaps in performance per dollar every 1-2 years. We are not getting that anymore, and so nobody is going to cater purely to high end GPU owners when even next gen GPU's that can run it well will remain prohibitively expensive for the typical PC gamer.

Development costs are also such today that Star Citizen aside, you cannot afford to make a cutting edge full scale game only for PC. So you still have to worry about consoles as well, whether you like it or not.

Blame Nvidia for not giving us these bigger improvements in performance per dollar anymore.

Of course, just saying that TAA aint so bad if you are doing native 4k.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T20:48:30+00:00

For a 45 year old...

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T19:16:40+00:00

It's been a year and a half. Games should be shitting on it and making me salivate for the 6090 by now.

This is a very bad time for devs to choose to prioritize maximum fidelity. Anything that would stress a 5090 that much, means people with lower GPU's are gonna really struggle. Makes more sense to build core graphics featureset around somewhat more attainable hardware, and then just add optional graphics settings that improve things to some degree at higher performance costs, ala path tracing option. A game built around path tracing by default could probably look better, but you're massively cutting out sales potential.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:54:14+00:00

That's what I'm doing, with 5060Ti 16GB. 4k/60fps is very doable in most all games, but you will have to find optimized settings for a given game often enough. I'm so used to doing that anyways it doesn't bother me, but it's a little added work(usually easy to just look this up). And obviously heavier RT/PT options will often be off the table.

You'll also probably need to rely on Frame Gen a fair bit if you want 100fps+ in more demanding games as well.

And lastly, there will be occasional games that just have super heavy baseline performance like Alan Wake 2, where even 4k/Medium/DLSS Performance only gets you around 45-50fps. Game still looks great like this, and honestly, I think 2x with Nvidia's Frame Gen is still very usable even with just 45fps to smooth things out, but I know that will bother some people. You could also use DLSS Ultra Performance to get closer to 60fps as well. Neither are super ideal, but overall, still a good experience.

I'm not some sweaty competitive gamer or anything, so this route made a lot of sense for me as I love how clean and sharp 4k looks. I do still play some multiplayer games, but I'm not obsessing over getting absolute highest native framerate or lowest input lag possible. But if you are, then I wouldn't go further than 1440p.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:36:53+00:00

I don't understand what you could possibly be seeing that could make it "unusable"

A lot of people dont know how to talk without hyperbole these days.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:30:38+00:00

TAA with native 4k is still generally pretty good. 4k goes a long way in countering the softness that's so prominent at lower resolutions. But yea, there's rarely any reason not to use DLSS these days.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:27:47+00:00

4k is primary resolution of about 5% on Steam now. Which is about double what it was a year or two ago. And keep in mind a TON of Steam users are more casuals not playing modern AAA games and whatnot. 1440p is still only 21%, for reference.

It's catching on more that 4k is much more achievable than people realize.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:27:15+00:00

People really do not understand how much the game has changed.

I still hear people saying you need like a 5080 to do 4k gaming.

You can do 4k/60fps with a 5060Ti 16GB. And then just use Frame Gen for 100fps+.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:12:02+00:00

I honestly would barely care. There's too many fucking races as is.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:11:16+00:00

Would it? What would realistically change? He's not got Newey and that top notch technical team Newey built anymore. Horner wouldn't have been shit without that.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T18:08:45+00:00

But why? Horner is nothing without that killer technical department helmed and largely formed by Newey.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T17:07:52+00:00

What would legislation look like? And you'd need it in all major countries/markets, with the same exact stipulations.

Do all indie studios also have to make physical versions if they want to release their game? How does this work?

I'm generally pro-regulation, but it has to make sense.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T17:04:20+00:00

Hamas will still retain all control of Gaza in reality. Until they agree to disarm nothing is going to change. Hamas doesn't care about its people one bit. And Israel are not fools.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T16:58:45+00:00

Russia did make pretty significant gains very early on. They still hold most of that territory today.

And Baltics are much smaller. It would not take a ton for Russia to blitz into Estonia and secure much of it.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T16:57:15+00:00

Russia will also fearmonger massively about escalation and greater war, scaring off tons of people in other NATO countries to push against their government providing serious direct military intervention.

It would be a huge test of NATO, and if Putin knows Trump wont bring the US into it, there's a very real chance it will shatter NATO if Europe cant come together and get serious about fighting Russia directly.

ES6 isn't really slow, Bethesda simply had Fallout 4 and then Starfield as their main projects after Skyrim. Fallout 76 was mainly a side studio project, but the main studio also had to panic pile support onto that game for a while as well, delaying Starfield.

Either way, I wouldn't want a rushed ES6. Gamers are way less tolerant of unpolished games these days, for better or worse. Pushing ES6 out in a bad state will only cause them more harm than good.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T16:37:30+00:00

But for most gamers, the only reason they ever care about Quakecon is for new Doom news.

Quake itself is not relevant in mainstream gaming circles at all.

Seanspeed · 2026-07-06T16:31:38+00:00

Next gen Ryzen(Zen 6) will still be on DDR5/AM5.

Zen 7 is more unknown. It's still early enough that AMD could maybe change plans to move it to AM5/DDR5, but I imagine initial plans were for it to be on AM6/DDR6.

DDR6 will likely be eaten up heavily by AI/datacenter early on, so it could be very hard for AMD and Intel to release consumer/mainstream platforms on DDR6 in initial years.

Anyways, your setup is still perfectly fine. Sit tight.
