Toes, do games w 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements

Make sure your games are on a SSD, this isn’t optional anymore; modern games often rely on loading assets as they are needed and if they fail to do that it could appear to stutter, among other issues. This is particularly important for UE games.

Additionally that smearing effect you mentioned could be FSR loading low resolution textures. Try tweaking your settings related to it.

Confirm, that your AMD drivers are up to date. Also If your ram supports XMP or a equivalent feature enable it to benefit from your ram. This is often overlooked.

Enable “Above 4G Decoding”. Consult your motherboard manual for details on how to do that.

Additionally if your game offers a choice between directX or Vulkan.

Choose Vulkan, if you experience problems try the DirectX options.

verysoft,

Also upgrade that CPU, you have so many good drop in replacement options with AM4 still.

Kecessa, (edited )

Yep, if you can afford to buy full priced games then just play some of the ton of free stuff (or some of your backlog) for a while and buy a new CPU

Ranvier, (edited )

Yeah I wasn’t ready to swap out my whole motherboard and got a 5800x3d. A little on the pricier side still (~$320), but many games really love that extra large cache. Should hopefully keep me going for quite a while before having to upgrade sockets. There’s cheaper options than that that would still be a good upgrade, a 5700x is about $170. A couple games recently like baldurs gate 3 have been very cpu intensive.

verysoft,

Yuppp it's a monster gaming CPU still, I love what AMD did with the longer-term socket support. I recently got a 7800X3D, it should last a long time, but having the piece of mind that in a few years I could just drop another AM5 CPU in if I needed or wanted to is great.

delitomatoes,

Unfortunately my mobo only supports up to 3000 series, so I’m switching to AM5 next year

Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updates to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

delitomatoes,

Asrock Fatality B350, not officially listed on the manual and forums say that is technically possible but risky

Weird, the K4’s latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

delitomatoes,

All running on SSD, but I aim to run at 1440p and more than 60fps. RE4 looked better than most games and had buttery smooth performance, really important for the ‘speedrun’ type trophies

Underwaterbob, do gaming w What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

Treasure! Dynamite Headdy, Gunstar Heroes. Bangai O. Not to mention the shmups. Damn they made some amazing games with super cool mechanics. Last I checked, they made a few anime tie-in games or something in the 2010s, but nothing since then.

Lagoon (SNES), Premonition, such a banger.

Unreal Tournament 2004:

Kraivo,

It wasn’t great. It was just good in sense of it’s time. Some of those music still instantly wakes me up and turns into hunting machine

stoy,

I have the entire soundtrack in my music library, Hyperblast 2 Redeux is awesome.

I also regularly play UT2004 online, DM-Deck17 is my favourite original map, amazing flow, it just goes hard.

Kraivo,

My favourite forever will be Gerudo valley remix from one of the custom games

But i know more song from original soundtrack

I can’t see the name Apogee without hearing the fanfare.

I miss Wacky Wheels.

I won’t, because you’re right!

LilB0kChoy,

I’m always reminded of finding and playing the midi files from the game music on my 486 as background music.

Cadence of Hyrule, for sure. So damn good.

For me it’s because work, school, research, and car/house repair.

Interplay’s Black Isle Studios, now Obsidian.

Psygnosis simply for Drakan. I recently replayed it and it holds up pretty well, even if the melee combat as Rynn is a little clunky.

Another one, who is still around and very successful in their niche, is Egosoft. X4 at release was a little so-so, but mostly due to performance issues and me being spoiled from years and years worth of mods for the previous games (but also, without any of the really good DLCs, only three of the six or so factions are in the game).

Bullfrog for Populous and Dungeon Keeper (ruined by EA).

Troika for Arcanum and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (ruined by Activision).

I only remember Syndicate from Bullfrog
