Sorry I don't know much about how the bottlenecking works, I only understand from a basic point of view. I used this site: https://pc-builds.com/calculator/ and it is saying I'll be bottlenecked by almost 50%(!), is that a load of bollocks?
)and I'm getting actually getting around 10% at most. And even then, even at 40%, it's still a massive upgrade and lets me chill until next year to decide what CPU I want. I'm certainly in no rush though, as my ancient rig now beats the consoles in power. Comfortably too.Thanks for the info. Should I upgrade the GPU I'll hold off on the CPU for now, lets see how the game performs!Yes. Those calculators are largely nonsense as they can't possibly take into account the system configuration and in game settings. For example, say you have a 1080p monitor, if you run at a 1080 screen resolution you might get a higher bottleneck as the CPU is taking the work, however if you force the card to work at higher resolutions (which then sample down to 1080 for your monitor), your card takes over the grunt and the bottleneck drops substantially. It sounds way more complicated than it actually is, but like I explained in one the console threads about the new machines, pushing these things harder actually gets you way better results.
For example, my 3070 on an 6 year old i7 is bottlenecking, however those sites said up to 40% (and it can't run at 1080
I'd echo lambs and suggest you skip the 20x range and just go for the 30x card, either the 3060 or 3070 if your budget can extend to it. Your CPU will likely be fine. If you do fancy upgrading it though, I'd go for something like the Ryzen 5 which is a very good, inexpensive option. But bear in mind you'll need a new mobo too.
Base PS4 should be fine. I mean, this was the companies intention to make it a game for that generation.
For me that's quite reassuring as I'm utterly horrendous on FPS.

Graphic comparison.

Have they done stealth much before? Don't remember much of that in TW3.
No stealth doesn't really exist in the Witcher, I suspect it will be fairly basic again in Cyberpunk but maybe made better by some of the tech upgrades/hacking mechanics.
Nah more like an inferior, easier Soulsborne.
By stealth I meant the Deus Ex approach - i.e hacking, finding alternate routes as opposed to the guns blazing approach. Not really expecting Splinter Cell/Hitman mechanics.
Yeh agreed, Fallout (and Skyrim) have really outdated engines which makes combat so janky.
Fallout 4's gunplay is actually quite decent.
Yeah same I'm hoping at least the AI isn't stupid enough to let you wander around in crouch mode without being seen. Here's hoping.
I'm with you on that, I still play Skyrim even today, its brilliant.
You reckon? The gunplay is pretty poor mainly because the animations and stuff are so bad. Doesn't feel like any of your hits really register.
