This. And also we have no idea on the hardware the game is being run from. Is it an nVMe drive or SATA ssd? Feels like a random fanboy who simply wants to milk views. He should have publish the specs of his PC before publishing the video

Ryzen 2700X is not a great CPU for benchmarking. Ryzen 3 series has better IPC and using a 3600 would have been better. It is very well known than using a Ryzen 3 series offers better performance by a few fps even when when under regular stress. While I agree with PS5 punching above it's weight and is a great value prop, I honestly don't think his comparison is valid. What is the MHz on his RAM? If he's using 2700Mhz or so, expect 5fps diff easily when compared to 3200 or higher. That's why it's purely subjective. I can build a crappy PC with a 3060 and still say a PS5 performs better. I would honestly wait for a DF verdict. They may nitpick, but those guys know how to really use comparable hardware for benchmarks.

Can you link me up? He should have posted the link to the full video as well. Also, what about the quality settings? Are they in line with the PS5 default too? I am not nitpicking, but the fact is that 2070/2070S will likely offer better performance if the game is optimized for PC rather well. Want to better understand how he came to the conclusion that PS5 performs better.

Checkboard vs native resolution? How is that even a fair comparison? Obviously performance on native will be lower.

Yes. Just download Logi Options software to customize. On Linux, there is a custom utility that you can use to specify the gestures via a config file.

Comes with a wireless receiver. Miles better than bluetooth and this is a productivity mouse. Not intended for gaming

Buy an MX master 3 to complete your setup

Long story. Here it goes. Preordered the first batch. Drove to the SC 20km away from my place and told stock hadnt arrived on launch day. Got a call the next day asking me to collect it. Drove back and was asked to return after 30 mins since the manager was busy and when I did return, was told that all stocks were gone. And that Sony support will contact me again with details about when the next lot would arrive. They refused to share details about how my preorder simply vanished or even show the allocation list and whom it was sold to. This was for a freaking online preorder. Got info from another buyer with the same predicament that the assholes were selling the PS5 for 65k a pop under the table. I escalated the issue to head of Sony India, our favourite Indian video game journalist wrote a small piece regarding this issue. Finally Sony support wrote back and assigned a different showroom to collect it from. Heard that Sony started an audit of the consoles after similar issues were reported across.

Dont trust the buggers. Go and sit in the showroom on the day of promised delivery and refuse to budge unless they hand over your console.

I really liked HZD's main story. The world was okay okay and I found the characters barring a few to be extremely lacking, but the narrative was superb. As well as the enemy design. I for one am super excited for FW.

Agree with you. I prefer replaceable batteries, but MS refusing to bundle a pair of rechargables is a scam. Like 8bitdo has a removable battery pack that can be charged. You can remove it and swap it with a pair of AAs.

I wouldn't recommend playing too close to the FW launch. The combat might feel samey and you might get bored when you switch over to FW. The HZD plus dlc is easily 40-50 hour long and playing another similar game for 30+ hours might be tedious if not for the story(side missions suck in the OG). Better to play now to build the excitement IMO

Basically Bethesda is giving out the upgraded version for XSX/XSS, PS5 (and probably PC) for free. This is likely optimized native ports for these platforms. Also bundling in 3 specific pieces of content from the creation club for free. Seems like there are over 100 total pieces of content and you have to pay the upgrade fee only if you want the extra content. How is this similar to what Sony did with GoT where they locked resolution bump and haptics behind a 10$ paywall? If there are features exclusive to XSX/XSS and PS5 behind a paywall (like haptics or improved frame rate/resolution) then the argument is comparable.

Hmm. Got it. They dont push ads on the Mi Notebook though from what I know. Even if they do, its a windows device and you can easily uninstall any preinstalled software. I still don't understand the anti China sentiment wrt to buying products. You effing cant buy any gadget in today's world without it being linked to China.

Got a mi notebook for my niece. My parents wanted to gift one for her bday and chose this. Ticks all the right boxes. Relatively light weight, solid build, looks very nice with an anodized aluminum/metal finish. Do check it out.

Why is it hard? Average PC hardware is still better than last gen consoles. If Sony can make a cross-gen game, then why is making a game that scales across hardware hard?

I meant I didn't have to install any external software/application/tool for my Mac to detect the Bose. Most of the times, the driver comes bundled with these connect applications if the native OS doesn't support it.

Bose works right out of the box. Doesn't require the Bose Connect software to be installed on the Mac.

Bose QC 35 II or Sony WH-1000XM4

Depends on who is using it man. Personally I like the 4k resolution, whereas you may not even bother. And I don't really care much about achievements or sharing at all. So, to each his own.

2k I guess. Available on GTS

already have on steam. Tempted to get on XSX. Does the progression carry over to PC cos it’s an Xbox play anywhere title?

He’s cleaned up the posts. I just think he got excited Don’t think it was intended as bait.

Dude, why are you simply baiting in this thread? I own both the consoles and personally speaking don’t care which is superior. By your logic, the PS2 was inferior to the og Xbox because the Xbox was more powerful/forward looking in design. I still don’t understand why some people have an issue with the existence of competition. You buy what you want and just enjoy the games. It’s not like anyone is forcing anyone to buy an XSX. There is always bound to be something better than the other. Just get what you want or where your friends are and enjoy playing the games. I am not defending Xbox, just don’t understand the hate. Sure, PS5 is more innovative in the IO aspects and wrt controllers, but leaving aside the technical aspects, does it really matter? I can argue for the QoL improvements the Xbox OS has compared to the PS5 but then it’s all subjective. But at the end of the day, as long as the Xbox or Ps5 plays the game I want it to well, why should I even complain?

It might have the same chip. But the chip handles nVMe bandwidth and gives comparable speeds to XsX. How does it even matter?
