A weird issue that I'm having with the PC version of 007 First Light is some textures don't seem to load properly and are extremely low resolution. I don't think it could be related to low VRAM since I'm running this game on an RX 9070 XT which has... show more

Samson PC Performance test on RX 9070 XT, Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 32GB of RAM. I've set the settings everything on Ultra running at output resolution of 4K with FSR is set to quality and frame-gen is turned off. There are frametime issues and performance dips that I've honestly expected as this is an Unreal Engine 5 game, the AA implementation is also not that good either as the game looks a little bit blurry

I'm playing GTA V on a PS3 and its been such a fun experience. I remember when was a kid and playing this for the first time, I didn't give a damn about how BAD the framerate was during driving. I was constantly in awe by how realistic this game looked back then that the framerate wasn't something that was going to stop me from enjoying it. Don't get me wrong, this game is running on a PS3 that has 256mb of RAM and 256mb of VRAM which is some black magic itself and the fact that Rockstar Games managed to have such a massive open world game with that much traffic and NPCs running in real-time is a feat on its own.

You might have seen some posts that Highguard runs at a fake in-game resolution, but its not exactly what you think. Steam User Captain_SmellyRat noticed this issue first by pointing out that if you set render scale at 100%,the game would still show 80% of the resolution in DLSS hud UI. So If you're playing at 1080p, the internal resolution would be 864p and If you don't change the default render scale (which seems to be always set to 75%) the final resolution would be 648p. However it turns out that the in-game resolution is changed in value directly from post-processing settings that you set. Post-processing quality settings would change the internal resolution as follows: Low - 80% of in-game resolution Medium - 90% of in-game resolution High - 100% of in-game resolution If you're playing at high settings, you will not notice the game looking blurry, but if you play at medium or low settings, the game will look extremely blurry even though you think you're playing at 1080p or 4k. I find it weird that post-processing quality directly affects the internal game resolution, but if you're playing the game and it looks blurry to you, make sure you set the post processing quality to high. Whenever this was intentional or not to achieve a higher FPS, I don't exactly know. However, I still think the developers should have clarified what each settings affects the game, which in this case here it directly affects the resolution.

I tested out Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing turned on with RX 9070 XT now that FSR Redstone is out. By using the new FSR Redstone and FSR ML Based Frame-Gen, the game reaches up to 130FPS in 1440p with FSR set to Performance Mode. The performance gains are not that much higher compared to the previous versions of FSR but the image quality got a huge upgrade, especially when using Frame-Gen. This ML based Frame Gen is much better than the previous version as it gets rid of most artifacts and ghosting caused by the previous version. If for some reason you always wanted to play Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing turned on on an AMD GPU, now you can enjoy a playable experience with 100+ FPS on an RX 9070 XT. I still don't recommend it though as the frame pacing and input lag still feels off for me, I'd just rather play this without Frame Gen and Path Tracing. I'm going to test out Black Myth: Wukong next

MindsEye Launch is an Absolute Disaster, here's a thread of all the things that are wrong with this Game. #1 Bad Performance and Extreme Stuttering I'm playing this Game on PC and the Game stutters like hell, there is zero optimization as framerates can be seen dipping to 2FPS

Assassins Creed: Shadows PC Port is absolute garbage. I'm playing AC: Shadows both on Console and PC, unfortunately even if you have a high-end PC, the Game stutters on PC. This is most likely because of Denuvo and bad Optimization. The Frametime is so bad I can't even begin to describe it, I'm forced to turn Frame-Gen on just to have a smooth experience. Disabling Frame-Gen and even running this Game on the lowest possible settings still results in a sub-par experience. This clip credit to zWORMz Gaming shows him trying to run AC: Shadows with Max Settings on an RTX 5070 Ti with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the Game still struggles to hit 60FPS! having specs anything even below these ones means that the Game will run even worse on most PC Gamers. The PC Port is terrible.

AMD has the opportunity to make the price to performance king. RX 9070 XT will be miles better than RTX 5080 if priced appropriately. We know by now that FSR 4 is miles better than FSR 3.1 as shown in this video here (credit: Hardware Unboxed) With the right marketing and highlighting the performance and quality jump that these new GPUs have, I could see AMD gaining a lot of GPU market share.

Since I'm reminiscing about Sid Meier's Pirates! this weekend, I can't not write a post about the latest installment of the game, which is the 2004 remake 🏴‍☠️ I like this version of the game and I'm having fun playing it 🫡 BTW - who among you doesn't like dancing? 😁

CNN's Van Jones: "I'm glad that the president is safe, and I'm glad that the cabinet is safe... What I would say is that there is some strength that's trying to be shown here, that you don't stop this country and you don't stop the celebration of the First Amendment because you're a crazy person with a gun."

So this thing happened I went out of bounds in Samson and I'm currently exploring the city outside of Tyndalston. So far, tons of assets and buildings seem to be fully modeled in, some building also look like they were supposed to be enterable as you can only enter through the door. I also got this weird graphic glitch the further I went into the city, but this understandable as you were never supposed to be here. The NPCs are just staying in one place, all of which you can interact with and traffic seems to be working just fine. I'm starting to believe that the reason why the city wasn't fully done is because of the limited budget. Otherwise this is very ambitious as the game could've been much bigger than it currently is.

I don't know anything about the veracity of the story... what do you think? Strange "meteorite" crash in Panama? It began to become alive right before eyes.🧐🤔 This man was able to retrieve a piece and turns out it has some weird properties. After cleaning it up, it seems to emit some weird light in the dark and it's even started growing some sort of living being that has continued/continues to grow and get bigger. Not exactly sure what to think. I haven't heard much about this.

Why don't we have this level of NPC density in recent AAA Games? Assassins Creed: Unity was by no means perfect, you can clearly see some NPCs popping into the frame while you're playing and some others not load properly, but it came out in 2014! It was designed on previous-gen consoles that ran on a Hard Drive and it was a game that was so rushed, Ubisoft never bothered to give it the love that it deserved. If there's one thing that still fascinates me about this game even today is the sheer number of NPCs that are rendered into this open world, it simply feels alive. By 2025, you'd think that most AAA game studios would have already gotten over these issues like NPCs popping into the frame and we would have Open World games that feel more alive than ever before. Nope, instead of huge number of NPCs, modern gaming companies are more focused on bringing Ray Tracing features which I have nothing against if it wasn't for having a such a small number of NPCs. I'm not an expert to determine what the exact reason behind having so few NPCs really is but I honestly would love if Ubisoft gave another shot at this kind of tech. Thankfully one of the games that looks like it will have this huge number of NPCs is Grand Theft Auto VI, by the screenshots and Trailers alone, it reminded me of how alive Unity really felt and I can't wait until that game comes out.

This is some actual 007 First Light gameplay footage while driving. Honesty the performance here looks extremely rough, thankfully the game isn't out in this state which leaves a lot of room for improvement, hopefully the devs can sort it out by the time the game comes out.
