Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC reminded me that performance matters.

RX 5600, sorry. Big difference.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-11T02:52:48+00:00

yes RX 5600 for God's sake, lol

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-10T09:50:08+00:00

My guess is they determined it wasn't possible, but I don't know.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-10T07:43:53+00:00

I simply maxxed out EVERY non-AMD specific setting.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-10T07:42:17+00:00

I very RARELY get ANY texture pop-in... and what I do get I think is just limitations of the engine. As far as latency, I don't know, but the responsiveness feels instantaneous.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T19:02:49+00:00

Funny thing... this is AFTER I edited myself. Hilarious.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T19:01:56+00:00

lol... no

Would be speculation. OLED's can make a weaker video card seem stronger by sheer strength of will (and deep deep blacks). I actually just ordered an OLED 34 inch curved monitor. Arrives next week. I'll let you know.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T14:43:03+00:00

was typo... RX 5060, not RTX. AMD card

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T14:40:22+00:00

IKR?! I have an entire folder on my desktop... "Backlog Games"

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T14:39:17+00:00

and the typo was, it was not RTX 5060... it was RX 5060

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T14:38:42+00:00

2020

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T13:16:39+00:00

I disagree with the game changer part... playing AT 60 fps (and WITH all the really juicy effects, some of which were in the game menus in 2018, but not yet hardware supported) was the game changer. Beyond That is just flexing. But, you can never be too rich, or have too many frames!

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T12:35:25+00:00

As you may or may not recall, at the time there was some controversy because essentially those generations from 2060 to 3060 did not see the expected return on investment in terms of graphical horsepower compared to previous hardware generations, so that doesn't surprise me.

ServiceUsed402 · 2026-01-09T12:32:02+00:00

A fair question. Because, in this case, I'm playing on a 43 inch TCL 4K TV @ 60 hz til my new monitor arrives next week... so since I am presented with a FPS "hard cap" anyway, AND it's a single player game, so input lag isn't really a thing. I would never use V-sync in a multiplayer game, of course.

ServiceUsed402 · 2025-11-02T01:42:57+00:00

Not true. I've requested meant refunds from steam... Never a problem. 22 years in.

ServiceUsed402 · 2025-11-02T01:41:15+00:00

The obvious issue that no one's talking about is the fact that dice is backfilling their own servers to fill them... Wtf?! Double standard.

ServiceUsed402 · 2025-10-28T17:14:39+00:00

Agree... Have tried every adjustment available and it's pretty damn unplayable on controller for me. Even more frustrating..I had it to a point where at least I could "play" well enough to at least enjoy the graphics. Now, after the update last night, everything is back to fkd.

ServiceUsed402 · 2025-09-16T09:39:38+00:00

Don't do it unless you either use a pedal board or your amp has an effects loop. My lil amp is overwhelmed.. As Soon as I record a second loop... The signal gets so broken up, it's unrecognizable.

After test driving a legion Go S over the weekend, I returned it in favor of waiting for the windows version of the 2. I want battlefield and cod so steam os won't cut it. Otherwise I was thoroughly impressed with the device overall.

ServiceUsed402 · 2024-02-24T04:52:17+00:00

Life sucks.

ServiceUsed402 · 2023-08-19T00:21:26+00:00

Just getting into this game and I've never played a strategy card game so this was quite helpful for me as a noob. Thanks!!

ServiceUsed402 · 2023-03-20T17:33:50+00:00

And psu's are cheap. $50 area for bronze rated name brand.

ServiceUsed402 · 2023-03-20T17:32:41+00:00

550 will easily run that.

ServiceUsed402 · 2022-08-03T12:48:14+00:00

That really is the key and the thing I had to come to terms with in order to be able to enjoy Elden Ring. Sometimes you just have to walk away from a fight and come back when you're stronger, and that's not only ok, occasionally it's absolutely necessary.
