Well, apart from the 11400, if you can wait a bit, then you probably can get a Zen 3 based APU in a couple months. I mean, AMD announced that unlike the Zen 2 APUs, the Zen 3 desktop APUs would not be locked to OEMs.

Of course, the problem with this is also that we don't know the prices of those parts, but a 6c/12t 5500G should be very competitive to the i5 11400.

In case anyone's interested, Fanatical has DiRT Rally 2.0 Game of the Year Edition for 4.39 €. That's almost all the DLC for the game included (I think it's missing two cars or so), so that's actually a fantastic deal! It sounds like DiRT Rally 3 might be coming at some point, so keep that in mind, but I think I've heard mostly good things of the same, so it should still be a good deal.

Nice, it is split in two keys: the main game and the season passes:

Since I already had the main game from a Humble Bundle, I can gift the main game.

The only car not included seems to be the Opel Kadett, which can be bought for less than a buck:

But 3 cars were already included in the Humble Bundle, so I don't know if the H2 RWD DP, Opel Manta and Porsche 911 RGT would also be unlocked with the season pass:

Didn't play the game much yet, since my old PC struggled in VR.

So this deal was a great reminder, to try it again with my new PC and my HP Reverb G2. Thanks!

The problem I have with those new APUs is that: A) We don't know when they'll launch (AMD hasb't even announced them yet); B) We don't know how much they'll cost; and C) We don't even know if they'll be available at retail or if they'll be OEM only like the last bunch.

With that in mind, I feel better keeping an eye on what's already available on the market.

Good deal! Thanks.

Nvidia is going to relaunch the GTX 1650. I thought April 1st was over..

Oh Nvidia..

Well, they still don't have a new card that targets this segment, but yeah, it's a disheartening situation.

So that means that Nvidia brought back 1050 Ti, 1650 and 2060 from the grave?

Fun times...

Low spec gamer reviews Aya Neo and Intel XE graphics

Now personally, I am quite interested in PC handhelds. While they aren't as good as the switch as they are often $800+, they do offer access the extensive PC library as well as emulation. I have been meaning to get one for some time now but it still feels like we are one or two iterations away from what I'd consider the sweet spot in performance and portability. Still, they are quite capable even though it's running low settings.

Yeah looks quite cool. Something like this be much more interesting to me once a device has something like a a RDNA 2/3 GPU or equivelant into their APU's since that, I feel will bring the gaming performance we want from hardware enthusiasts.

Would also be amazing if Nvidia once again dabbles in portables and tries with another Shield with all new chipsets.

Well, for C, AMD already affirmed that the ZEN 3 APUs would be available at retail later this year. But I agree on the other ones.

Personally, I'm waiting for one of those APUs to build a home server. My main problem right now is to find a small B550 Motherboard that actually supports ECC memory (you can use ECC Memory on all AMD motherboards, but only a few actually support the error correction).
