… That's not normally cause for commotion at Digital Foundry HQ, but one line highlighted by wccftech caught our eye: "Improved CPU performance on physics calculations, eliminating a source of stutters, especially prominent in CPUs with high single-threaded performance, like Ryzen X3D chips." I think… …

… Higher end Macs allow Control to reach its full potential. The high settings preset sans ray tracing can deliver a pretty stable 4K60 experience using MetalFX upscaling, which arguably compares favourably to PS5 and Series X. …
… That means you could make up at least some of the difference by strapping on a giant 360mm or 420mm AiO and bumping up the 9950X3D's power curve in the BIOS - and you'd still end up with a cheaper setup than the 9950X3D2 paired with the cheapest AiO or tower cooler you could find. …

Path tracing is the most demanding form of ray tracing you can do, normally requiring an extremely high-end PC graphics card and low input resolutions to produce playable frame-rates. …
… However, the relative value of the RX 9070 and even the top-end RX 9070 XT is higher than the GRE and from my perspective, this simply doesn't make sense. …
… On high‑end PCs it's an almost unqualified success, as you can really enjoy the incredible visuals of the path tracing mode, while even lower-end CPUs can get a smooth 60fps and an attractive gameplay experience - but delivering some kind of solution to the 8GB VRAM problem really should be front o… …
