Do you want to know why at 4K the B580 is 20% faster than the 7600 XT vs only 5% at 1080P? Because the 9800X3D TPU used to test these GPU's, (this is the fastest gaming CPU money can buy right now) is bottlenecking the B580 at 1080P. Imagine what happens with a 10400K or a Ryzen 2600X.
yeah I'm aware of the B580 being more resource hungry on CPU overhead and it was tested on 9800x3d and only when someone tested on "older" 5600 they discovered the issue.
I could forgive DX9 wrapper as unlikely to play those games anymore, and if older games run in software- new GPU should have enough power to run older games even in that (like emulation on pi5 etc ) but the high CPU overhead I cannot accept.
Although saying that I'm replaying Half Life 2 which is DX9, but it's not demanding so I don't think software mode will be an issue.
