And yet still the third most popular card according to the Steam hardware survey.

Only the 1650 (similar spec to 1060) and 3060 above it.

I was hoping the 4060 would be the new mid tier go to card, giving good results at a good price, but Nvidia want the new normal to be a 4070 or higher.

By this point 4K screens are not some extravagance. They’re standard. You can’t even buy a modern TV less than that. PC gamers should not be accepting the price they have to pay to get what “lol potato console hurdur” gamers get out of the box.

There’s definitely games where my 1060 really struggles even at minimal graphics. I even had to play Talos Principle 2 on PS5.

It’s rather telling that the most prominent PC exclusives (MMOs, etc) can run on a potato.

The Intel Arc GPUs looked interesting, but the lack of compatibility on older titles is off-putting. AMD lack the raytracing oomph and support isn’t as good as it is for DLSS. PC gaming has thrown all it’s chips in with Nvidia, and now it’s at the mercy of their pricing.

I’m sure the last few Ubisoft games I got from Steam all installed UPlay before letting me run them anyway…

I’m not buying it because £45 is not a budget price for what feels like an indie game experience. I can wait for a sale on that, or more likely for it to go to PSN Extra. Still got plenty on my backlog.

Well thanks PC Gamer, for that unbiased news.

Until GPUs get a sane price again, I’ll stick to my PS5 for anything that I want to look good.

The only one I can think of was the Spyro trilogy remaster, which had games 2 and 3 as downloads.

In any case I think there’s more chance of Valve going bust than Sony or Microsoft…

If only they’d carried on with that idea.

Gwent.

I didn’t like the standalone version, but the in-game one had just the right level of puzzle to keep me at it.

I honestly don’t know what GAME even sell any more.

The only store in my town closed ages ago. I think the two supermarkets are the only place left selling them new, and good old CEX for when you need to offload a pile of stolen goods.

The nearest one is inside a Sports Direct.

It was the same on Reddit as well.

PC gamers supposedly everywhere, meanwhile you can barely buy a decent GPU for the price of a PS5.

I think Witcher 1 actually did it better.

The gameplay is a tough sell though.
