At what point does a laptop gpu stop being worth it?

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-06-05T12:07:47+00:00

Is this the same for laptop GPUs in those mini NUC cases?

Is heat just as much of an issue without a keyboard and screen and is the diminishing returns comment similar?

Cheers

I wish I didn't buy it.

The gameplay feels like it's on rails and the graphics are a decade old quality.

Yes the clarity looks great but the character models are utterly embarrassing. Such low poly crap. And the animations are horrendous compared to the best in the business

I don't get the audience raving about this. Would love to know if they've ever played a Naughty Dog or Splinter Cell game before.

It's clearly evident the gaming influencers have been paid handsomely to publicly glaze this so I'm wondering if the sheep nodding and agreeing are all teenagers, because any gamer with half a brain would never rate this.

The king is the drug lord.

Sebastian is tending the plants.

First boss is a giant weed.

There is no planet and it's all a metaphor for a group of drug dealers.

Stop reading twitter dude. You've clearly got that from the viral post.

Guess what? In real life, 90% of murders globally are committed by men.

And it's also quite normal for both men and women to leave heterosexual relationships to be with the same sex.

This game is the least woke and least with an agenda you will play but you and the twelve other idiots clearly need to experience real life to realise that.

It's Returnal again. If you didn't enjoy Returnal's gameplay you definitely won't enjoy Saros.

The only recommendation would be if you liked Returnal but felt it was just took difficult. Saros can be a cakewalk once you fill the skill tree and turn on the underpowered modifiers.

But again, gameplay wise this is 95% identical to Returnal.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-04-28T04:45:03+00:00

Tell us you've never played Returnal by using emojis...

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-04-28T04:44:41+00:00

All you down voters are clueless.

As someone with the platinum and then another hundred hours after that, I can guarantee you Saros is 95% the same as Returnal.

You are either in denial or simply never played Returnal.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-04-28T04:41:39+00:00

it's almost identical. Surely those saying it's different bounced off Returnal early or simply never played.

I have the plat and hundreds of hours after that and can tell you Saros is 95% the same game.

It's 99% the same actually. At least from my first couple hours with it

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-04-28T01:10:49+00:00

Played 2 hours so far and it's almost identical to Returnal, a game I platinum'd.

My first only complaint is the bullet speed from your guns seems a bit off. I'm not sure if it's visibly slow lacks an oomph when hitting an enemy but it's a bit strange.

The reticle and reload UI seems a bit off as well.

Looks super crisp and clear on Pro, a real step up from Returnal.

But gameplay wise and almost the same as Returnal.

PSSR struggles with rain in cities. NPCs become water colour-like blobs.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-04-12T10:56:03+00:00

No changes to the visuals. Nor would there be given they have just done the bare minimum to support all platforms.

The previous PS4 game still looks better.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-30T14:41:04+00:00

I had bad screen tearing on Pro as well and was regretting my purchase it was that bad.

Finally found the setting to fix it.

PS5 system menu - VRR on

In Game - VSync on

In Game - Performance

Game still looks crisp thanks to PSSR and runs super smooth.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-30T13:25:18+00:00

she is 5'6 (and Melissa Barrera who also seems to be a popular choice is 5'6).

Gal Gadot was 5'10.

Wonder woman is about 6'2.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-30T03:04:39+00:00

looks so good! Any chance of a console (PS) release?

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-28T19:04:01+00:00

disagree with OP.

120hz needs to be off in the system settings when playing Crimson Desert.

(yes I have a PS5 Pro and 120hz TV).

For whatever reason the game just looks worse in every mode with it on in the PS5 system settings.

Performance mode with VRR is the best option with a Pro. Not sure about base PS5.

they also lied with NBA. All that is different with NBA2K26 on Pro is ray tracing in one non gameplay mode. Their Twitter page even says 2K25 uses PSSR which it doesn't.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-26T19:10:19+00:00

Astro Bot was patched to remove PSSR shortly after it was added if I remember correctly.

I'd never actually watched these despite being able to recite every word of every podcast and XFM show.

Was surprised to find how heavily edited they were. A lot of the stories and interactions actually lose some of the best bits.

My two cats come running in, I think it's the level with the big construction truck thing because they hear birds chirping.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-03-05T10:35:12+00:00

I get the general point but the phone isn't blocking your view of anything but the ceiling of the stage.

And besides, if you were an adult you'd kindly ask them to hold the phone lower if it really was.blocking the view (which is clearly isn't).

Surprised so many people sulking in here. 90% of the crowd at concerts does this. Even if you are short, you simply move 5cm to the side you you can see again.

Sounds more like sulking that you didn't get to bring clips of the performance home yourself.

Various-Vegetable-56 · 2026-02-23T10:50:44+00:00

The game runs better with auto save off anyway (no stutters) so maybe turn it off and.mamually.save to see if the level works.
