Definitely annoying. Tank their feedback about all you can do.

Just saw this post on the tech board... and I have questions

Yeah. Supply chain is going to be your biggest hurdle. Any GPUs you can find available will be crazy expensive. Just from a price standpoint, a pre-built system will be the way to go for a decent build.

But you can test your patience and piece together a system and then add a better GPU when the market corrects. Check out CG Director for some good articles and recommendations.

Here are a few things I learned as I was building mine.

- the GPU is not used as much as you think but it does help and some softwares don’t use it as all. You can get by with a “value” GPU but if you ever get serious, you will need to re-evaluate.
- the best processors are the Intel i9 and the AMD Threadrippers. If those are out of your budget, go with an AMD Ryzen 9.
- get as much RAM as you can afford
- storage should be at least a local SSD but NVMe is preferred
- if you are pulling your footage from a NAS, your render times and editing performance will be terrible. Your render times will be hours. Not minutes. Always pull the footage to your local drive and use your NAS as a backup.
- it is also recommended to have 2 local drives, a combo of NVMe and SSD. Store and edit and NVMe and render to SSD. Or at least store on one and render to a different.
- I’m sure there are some decent editor programs for Linux. I’d recommend Davinci Resolve because it is cross-platform so if you do decide to switch, there isn’t a learning curve and it gives you a really powerful editing engine.

Looks like a ChatGPT reply for the most part.

I would honestly be surprised both at the short timeline from original release as well as such a short “hype” period, but assuming the port doesn’t suck, it’s a day 1 buy for me.

With that said, I have to think Sony was sorely disappointed by just how badly Elden Ring overshadowed the hype train on HFW. People stopped talking about it almost immediately which kinda sucked, because I was excited about it. But with that said, Sony might have internal numbers that show HFW isn’t driving PS5 sales anymore, so it’s time to turn the money machine back on.

Eta: Just read the article, and while I can read French, did you link a French language article by accident or as a flex?

Huzzah on it including the DLC as a package, though

FO76 now higher rated than Starfield on Steam. What a flop.

Yeah hype and budget with reviews and overall reception I would say def a flop. But I don't like Bethesda games anyways so no surprise I was bored fast and uninstalled. I didn't make it 2 hours on FO4 either.

Hell even just on twitch it has no viewers and is so far down the list.

As they said in the other thread it didn't sell 10M copies that's including game pass.

That’s what they all fricking say. You’ll post a screenshot in two years and it will look the damned same

Eta: if you run into any issues, or want any tips, just ask

What’s everyone running for cpu/gpus these days?

Probably doing a new build and trying to decide between staying am4 and snagging a 5800x3D or doing like a 7700x build.

GPUs as a whole seem like a fricking mess right now but thinking about giving AMD a try for the first one in a decade. 7800 XT is interesting and microcenter has 7900 XTs for $750.

I play at 1440p FWIW.
