There are great mods for both games

Honestly I might just ride the 4090 wave until PS6 lol. It was expensive but until the GPU market stops sucking, it is the only purchase at it's MSRP that makes sense. The rest of the lineup starts to make sense if you can get them in a great deal like the deal hinch got with his 4070 Ti.

Assassin’s Creed Unity gets up to 313% performance boost with Intel Arc GPUs

After Digital Foundry keeps pointing out the poor performance in Unity, they finally fixed it.

Twas me.

Saw it as soon as I popped on the site hours ago. Really surprised an ad bot decided to hop into our main thread, but I guess it saw the opportunity with the thread being one of the most recently updated ones. 

It surprised me as well.

Well, thank you for taking care of that.

Well, it's not as big of an embarrassmen as the 4060Ti was and still is, but it's still extremely disappointing. Welcome to the new reality for mid-range cards, were the expectation is to just beat the previous gen card it's replacing, barely, but you can forget about beating cards from one tier above.

It sucks.

Those of you that got a 6700XT with a good deal, congratulations, you struck gold.

No problem.

Persona 5 Royal went the cheapest at the amount of $38 on steam in its last sale.

Fanatical and Humble Store (and game billet) were selling it for $35 at the lowest (not counting coupon/sub discounts).

So likely will be around that much tomorrow.

I'm likely gonna get it on through Humble store when the discount brings it down to close to $25 since I already have P5 Royal on PS4.

Red Dead Redemption 2 standard edition has went down on sale for $20 last few months - I bought the Ultimate edition when it was $30 back in December 2022.

Yeah saw that but I'm a bit of cheap skate when it comes to buying PC games lol. That and I've already bought it on PS4.

It was lower on key websites, but they were Rockstar launcher only. Was hoping they would match that would dip under $20 for the Ultimate as its been out a few years already.

Yeah like Ubisoft with their keys and their store, all keys outside of Steam from Rockstar games tie to the Rockstar launcher.
