@mdinger: I need at least 80% of the eye candy.

I game at 1440P & the benchmarks I've seen don't look great. I've seen people force SLI but not with great results.

Looks like big publishers are determined to kill single player games.

I still want to give Mafia 3 a jam, maybe a next gen GPU can bruteforce that game into getting a decent framerate. I run two 970s, which is powerful enough for most games but Mafia 3 doesn't even support SLI. I'll deal with it's other problems but I'm not going to suffer through a choppy framerate as well. Maybe I'll just drive around & listen to the soundtrack if I find it on sale for cheap enough.

SAO was a cool idea but it turned into a harem anime & lost focus on the interesting stuff. It will be interesting to compare with Ready Player One anyway.

@Pupchu: Just what games need, more homeless panhandlers.

@alistairbrogan: Yes, but that's not what they said here. GS didn't even bother to run their own benchmarks but even if they're just going to take numbers from another site, this is lazy. If they use ultra settings, they should provide some context & compare it with other options. If they're only going to talk about this chip, they should use numbers that reflect a realistic use case.

Thanks Ubisoft, I was worried nobody was going to ruin my favourite hobby this year.

22-32fps in Civ 6 is not "decent performance".

Anyone who thinks this is a replacement for a GPU better have simple taste in games.

Don't get your hopes up. We might see nothing more than a Gwent trailer.

@p3rrypm: Not trying to spread lies, just contracting. The point is that there's no way he could complete the survey if he didn't even have Steam installed on the mac.

BTW I have never heard the lie that Steam is stealing everyone's hardware data or whatever, I thought everyone knew that it was an opt-in survey since everybody gets the notification.

@nargg: Yeah, but IPC matters too. Like @zabieru says, an old CPU with a high clockspeed doesn't compare to a new one with slightly lower clocks. Even a modern Pentium G4560 compared to a 6600K both have the same base clock of 3.5GHz but have a huge difference in gaming performance due to totally different architecture.
