No, game performance issues are often a self created problem by the consumers - I don't know where it came from, but there is a weird stigma that PC gaming = run every games at max settings and complain on the Internet that the game is terribly optimized
I really wish more people understands PC graphic settings a bit better

When developers pushing more than current hardware can handle. That is a problem. B4 need 5070 Ti for 1080p? Are you kidding me?

Don't blame the user, blame the developers. Probably trying to help AMD and Nvidia sell the cards by pushing unreasonable system requirements too.

The nicest part for PC gaming is that barring remasters/remakes, the game you buy will almost guaranteed to be a definitive version, unlike console titles which often require a next generation patch from the developers when a new console generation arrives
A lot of the negative discourse about PC game performance can be alleviated with a simple tweak: include a 'console equivalent' graphical setting in each game (see PC version of God of War). This should give a nice baseline of what performance gamers can expect from their machines, and those with more capable machines can use that setting to scale up to the level of performance/visual quality they desire
Another useful tweak is to put a warning for ultra graphical presets, informing gamers that this preset is intended for future hardware and may not run properly on current generation hardware

don't blame the developers, blame the c-suites.
the devs are only doing what they're good at, what they're hired for. to create mechanics, design levels, design characters and gameplays etc. using popular commercial game engine. JD only mentions have experience in UE5 on these specificities and that's all.

the c-suites don't want to hire dedicated individuals who are strong at code optimization which most game devs are not good at. too expensive.
the entire dev cycle has no room for further optimization and not enough time. as long as the code works, just ship. c-suites just keep pressuring the team about time constraints.

then the masses put the blame the devs, c-suites very happy because they can place the blame at the team instead of having accountability that they're at fault of bad direction and strategy. they're the one controlling all the directions and strategies behind the scene. all these directions and strategies lead to the devs down below need to have crunch time. even directors also no choice, they're kulis to the c-suites, the business higher-ups.

and the c-suites are damn glad that gaming channels and grifters put the blame on the devs. easy smokescreen and they can fire the team. and they can fire these teams many more times down the line.

Umm... not quite. Poor performing PC ports has always been a problem for many, many years, this is not new (see benchmarks on older PC titles), and is not entirely the fault of the execs
It's easy to put the blame of C-suites but the reality of the games industry, just like the real world, is a lot more nuanced and is not a black and white thing


The problem is, any game delays = very expensive (especially in places like the US West Coast) and are often exhausting for everyone (basically from junior devs to execs), as all post launch stuff will get delayed too, which in turns harm sales
Also, it's a common myth that C suites are forcing developers to release 'unfinished' games - see Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order release for instance (EA's execs even wanted to delay the release, but Respawn denied)

I really wish the games industry can be more transparent, but the issue is any form of transparency from the industry will end up being branded as a corporate shill/propaganda, gamers these days can't trusted to behave themselves

don't piss on kulis, aka the devs. if ur a kuli before, or is a kuli, ur aware of how difficult things are. regardless of how fat ur monthly payslip is. as long as ur not a boss on ur own, and u need to report to the higher up, and ur boss also has another higher up to report to, then kuli it is.
product manager, when they se UE5 bling2 and canggih (lumen and nanite turned on as easy as flipping a switch), would u think they'll make an epic in the backlog, spanning 4-6 sprints, 2 weeks per sprint, for optimization? no. even if the product manager comes from technical background. their job requires seeing in business lenses. business lenses means the longer it takes to market (TTM), the more cost is incurred (paying the operational cost). CPO is also keeping the PMs in check.

if I'm COO/CPO, I damn happy when people say lazy devs don't want to optimize game. I can just fire them (severance? no need la. VSS je. PIP also can). done deal, balance sheet canggih, I still get my bonus, but the ppl who have been fired by business decision? no bonus for them (more bonus on business side).

looking at the consensus today, most people blame the devs for being "lazy devs can't even optimize their trash game", rather than pinpointing all the strategies and operations laid down for the project. they are good at making things work, but optimization requires greatest talents which which require capable individuals, and they're bloody expensive, and that's the reality. the thing is - the strategies and operations are probably under NDA, so general gamers quite easy and blame the devs, that's the only thing that is apparent in a game development. ei, they're living paycheck to paycheck chasing their "dream job". turns out not dreamy after all.

I see more likely is Ryzen Agesa instabilities in certain bios, a known issue that AMD has lesser stability than Intel. That video talked about his problems but didnt actually show it, so its a 'trust me bro' without showing proof.

Lotsa big games gets released poorly optimised, hence needing high end GPU that requires >8 GB VRAM, which is why folks around keep hentam 8GB cards. But when a optimised game comes ie Clair Obscur or Metal Gear, you can comfortably still play with midrange 8GB GPUs.

Its not anybody in particular but game developers as whole that are at fault for us requiring such high specs GPU just to play their games. Also the fault of us consumers for expecting yearly releases of new COD but each is getting crappier than previous.

you sure kc3000 1tb is Rm699??

KC3000 safe ya for now?

I din dig into the sound part, thanks

I thought its ok-ish comparable even dram-less, noted, thanks

Nobody mention about, Samsung 980 pro yet..



or Samsung 970 evo plus

pls visit an optician ... 2TB la

gaming plus wifi n A series.. all ALC897.. if u hv a cheapo speaker.. u sure suffer buzzing

Your 3rd quote, Rm4500

1tb kc3000, but typo Rm699

gg.. i need see optician liao

Do you feel lucky? I wouldnt touch it at this moment, and there are others just as good for similar price

For bootdrive its still better to go with DRAM type as it does lotsa file swapping & writes. Maxio based SSD are pretty good as storage units tho
