Played a bit of Age of Empires II with a mate today for the first time in many years. Forgot how addictive it is |

The importance of CPU in gaming may vary. Many game devs still prefer strong single core performance over the raw computing power. That is why for example the Pentiums and i3 chips (2c/4t, about 54 W TDP) match and even beat the FX 8350 (8c/8t, 125W TDP) in every single area, except maybe multi-core benchmarks, some productive work and Cities Skylines (that game loves high core count).
Not even talking about the new standards that come with the modern Pentium and i3 CPUs. For instance, way more instructions per cycle, DDR4, PCIe gen 3.0...
Apart from taking care of the engine's core mechanics and other bits, it also gives the GPU instructions. Higher the frame rate more instructions CPU has to spit out at given time, so the GPU can then bother with all the individual pixels. If it can't feed the GPU the instructions fast enough, you get stutter and lowering the gfx settings won't help as bothering with that is the GPU's job. The screen resolution also has no effect on the CPU's performance, 480p is the same load for your CPU as 4K; if it's not the CPU that does the rendering, obviously. But, running games in software mode died in the late 90's.

Finished the Wolfenstein 2 DLC. Basically don't bother. They re-use a lot of levels/elements from the main game, and it's just lazily done. A couple of the levels I had to run through to complete them
Free until the end of the month (with GwG) Trials of the Blood Dragon.

It's a cross-over between Farcry Blood Dragon and the Trials games A lot of it is shit. They have odd shooty bits in a Trials style level, and the story doesn't add anything to the game, nor does the 80s effects. But it's the most recent trials game available. I wouldn't part with money for it but as it's free I'll probably finish it |

Fortnite on PS4 most nights. Absolutely hilarious with a squad of mates on their.
I thought I'd be the type to refuse to pay for all the crappy skins etc as it doesn't change gameplay at all.. but I did crumble and pay for the battle pass, only because you earn enough coins to then pay for the next one, then the next etc..

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 23 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
