    This is cool. I just hope game developers also get on this bandwagon. We could use a 4-year moratorium on increasing minimum system requirements.

        Rockstar are good at optimising their games. GTA V ran better than GTA IV on the same hardware. I wouldn’t be surprised if GTA VI runs well on the Steam Deck.

          Rockstar good at optimizing games?

          Is that a real statement?

          It won’t at all run on the deck. They blocked 5 from Linux a while ago.

    Ah, AM4.

    At 10 years old, it’s still the platform that keeps on giving.

    DDR4 is cheaper than DDR5, sure, but retailers have jacked the price of both by the same percentage, so it’s not really all that much of a rescue.

    I expect people will need a full mortgage to pay for DDR6 when it comes out next year.

          This is universally true, so, it’s implied they are a bad cat unfortunately
