Not to kick a dog when it is down, but I cannot stifle the laughter that these are the textures you get with 8 gigabytes of VRAM in Monster Hunter Wilds. 8 months on and this is still how it is.
Surely there is an elegance to memory management which was lost at some point in time for these things.

ARC Raiders has gotten a lot of buzz on PC for being an Unreal Engine game "done right". Does it live up to the hype? Have Embark Studio managed to avoid common issues found in nearly all Unreal Engine titles? Find out in my in-depth PC review with optimised settings!

On Monday 04.11.2025 I uninstalled Microsoft Copilot from one of my test PCs with Windows 11. After restarting that PC on that same day, it REINSTALLED ITSELF again. Listen Microsoft - when I uninstall something from my PC it means I do not want it. Trash tier OS with this stuff.

Wolfenstein from Machine Games has amazing keyart. Absolutely menacing or pulpy.

Grand Theft Auto 4 with Path Tracing - what a time to be alive! How did one of the most notoriously "bad" PC ports get to this point in 2025? How did modder xoxor4d get RTX Remix to work with GTA 4? Does GTA 4 on PC deserve its frankly terrible reputation? Find out in this vid!

People use the phrase anti-consumer quite often, but almost none come as close to GTA4 on PC in 2008.
Lord almighty, if you sailed the seas for this one, I do not blame you at all.

How much money do I have to pay Microsoft to stop them from trying to shove all their services down my throat with each windows update?

Here we go! The Outer Worlds 2 on PC. What CPU do you need to run the game well? What are the best optimised settings for a mid-to-low end GPU? What is up with the Hardware Ray Tracing? All that and more in this PC review video from Digital Foundry!

Not many things bother me in our comments section, but this is irksome. I work a lot and make more videos than just optimised settings guides. The user must imagine that videos are made out of thin air? I am not going sacrafice my every weekend to satisfy the frankly inane AAA release schedule.

How do you navigate the settings menu in Battlefield 6 to make the game run and look its best for multiplayer? With @iamrayy-0.bsky.social's help, we make optimised settings to get you on your way. I also talk about bugs and BF6's unambitious graphical presentation. Enjoy!

Super weird seeing Battlefield being so unambitious from a graphical quality perspective. Battlefield 3 and 5 were pioneering.

I cannot WAIT til 2026 when I get to make a video on it. The 8800 GTX was just ridiculous on launch. Both the 1850XT and the 7800/7900 look like children's toys next to it in performance and features.
BTW - just managed to open up a X1950XT this morning from @timonsku.zip :D Quite the coincidence!

It's been 20 years since the launch of the Geforce 7800 GTX. A GPU right on the cusp of the next gen consoles with the PS3 even using its tech. What did the 7800 GTX offer over its predecessor? What is it legacy? How did it play the best PC games of 2005? Find out! [sponsored]
