As long as the performance and, more importantly, the price of those 8000 series AMD GPUs are reasonable and put pressure on Nvidia, most of us will be happywith them.

It's the first of the The Legend of Heroes games: https://store.steampowered.com/app/251150/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_in_the_Sky/

I played a bit of it but things happened and stopped playing for a bit, and then I was too lazy to come back and start again.

I can't say that I loved the game, but I remember it is/was a good game.

First of the Legend of Heroes Trails games.

Technically Trails in the Sky is the 6th game in the overall Legend of Heroes series (it was originally even called Legend of Heroes 6).

The game (and it seems like the rest of the series) has a lot of damn text. Cant believe there's so many, gotta catch up lol

Going by that - I guess I played Legend of Heroes 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Yeah, there's a ton of them on Steam alone. That's one of the reasons I want to play it again, to see if I care about it enough to get the rest of the games in the series.

Just finished ordering all my parts for my new pc. Built two SFF APU builds in the past, this will be my first ATX build.

Ryzen 7600x
Aorus B650 Elite AX
32GB (2x16) DDR5 6000 (cl30)
1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD
Radeon RX6800

Looks like a very solid and capable build. Congratulations!

My expectations (if the 64CU for the Navi 48 and 32CU for the Navi 44 are correct):

• 8800XT -> 64CU, slightly slower than the 4080, $549-$599
• 8700XT -> 56CU, ~4070Ti Super, ~$449-$499 ($100 less than the 8800XT)
• 8600XT -> 32CU, between the 4060 and 4060Ti (RX6750 in Raster), ~$319
• 8500XT -> 24-28CU, 4060 Laptop, $269

I put Nvidia cards for comparison because I believe that with the strongly upgraded Raytracing of RDNA4 they should be roughly comparable to NVidias current offerings in that regard. And yes, I believe AMD will shoot themselves in the foot again with the Navi 44 offerings in terms of pricing.

I've played Absyss, Symphonia and Vesperia.  I'm 8 hours in on Arise.

I really like the Tales series.  Battle system is fun and engaging.  Characters are diverse and have unique personalities.  Typically the story is simple and for me that is a good thing.  I get annoyed when developers, instead of telling a good story, go complex with something that doesn't make sense (kingdom hearts).  

I don't think Tales is mind blowing but it is a really good series if you find the time.  

Congrats.  Looks like a nice rig.
