Based on what?

Based on what?

Based on me needing little excuse to get one.

Nvidia has benchmarks

Probably going to run like a etch a sketch on old hardware

Floaty head chimes in:

Whole start of the video is him trying to get people to buy pc parts or systems from his affiliate links. Puts me off straight away. I dunno how he gets 20 mins video out of 3 Nvidia slides, this is Asmongold level of time padding

Yeah most youtubers now do this, the game info actually starts at 4:05 - this is the world we live in now sponsored videos because premium subs don't see ads, nor do adblockers. Otherwise there's some good info there which we have already discussed in the thread but good that someone is putting the info out there to a wider mass.

Edit*
Just bought the Stalker bundle for Steam for £3.74, not played them since launch so gives me 8 days to jump back in for a refresher.

The echoes of the sensor when inside a building, looks like they have put in surface/location aware sound effects. Nice!

Lol, the way he pronounces STALKER. Stalkier?

 

[TNA]

The game so far looks good to me. I will probably end up getting sucked into it. Not been playing games much lately so I can make up for that with this game

I know, it's like calling a raper...a rapier.

The Stalker Trilogy, I recall barely getting 60fps back in the day at 1080p, here we are locked 4K 223fps 8xAA

Old games with new life for sure.

 

[Noxia]

Not playing it unless I can get a new CPU before then. Because I deffo need it.

 

[ltron]

Must be heavily CPU limited if there is only 5fps difference at 4K native between a 4080 Super and a 4090

Nvidia were prescient when they decided to push frame generation .

Whacking the volume up in the last video I posted, the game sounds are immense, might just be the most immersive game audio I've heard yet after rewatching it on the speakers.

So I need new speakers and or headphones? Got it.

I hate to get hyped up about a game pre-release, its a guaranteed recipe for disappointment.
However, I cant stop feeling excited about this. All the media so far is ticking the right boxes. Going by the spec sheet, my system falls between Med/High recommended setting, so 1440 might be a bit too much of a stretch. I sincerely hope I've got enough grunt in the system to enjoy the experience. As I dont exactly have the disposable cash at the moment to finance an upgrade, I was hoping the current system would do me another 6month to a year.
