Ubisoft Boss Has A Hot Take On Sony Killing Game Discs

Ubisoft Boss Has A Hot Take On Sony Killing Game Discs https://ift.tt/TNc7hEz Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot believes that Sony's plan to kill PS5 game disc production in January 2028 could have some benefits for the gaming industry. Speaking during a recent investor Q&A, Guillemot expressed his opinion that the PS5 console market could emulate PC gaming--which has been an overwhelmingly digital-only scene since the rise of Steam--and hardware costs could come down as a result. "What we saw on the PC is that it helped to grow the market," Guillemot said (via VGC ). "There's also some pressure for the future on the cost of machines, and being able to be only digital will help to have a more accessible machine, I would say. "There are pluses and minuses, but we think it will not disturb too much the industry." https://youtu.be/4FatSqS3VYY Sony's rationale for ending game disc production is that it's following market trends and cons...

AMD Tackles The 1440p Market With New RX 7800 XT And RX 7700 XT GPUs

AMD Tackles The 1440p Market With New RX 7800 XT And RX 7700 XT GPUs https://ift.tt/Y8q10rg

AMD is taking aim at the 1440p market with two new GPUs that attempt to balance generation-on-generation performance improvements and affordability.

The RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT will both launch on September 6, with a free copy of Starfield to give you an easy way to properly test them. These two cards, priced at $500 and $450, respectively, are more squarely aimed at tackling Nvidia's limp attempt at a mid-range card this generation, with both the RTX 4060 Ti and RTX 4070 mostly failing to impress the wide range of PC consumers. The RX 7800 XT boasts some impressive numbers over the RTX 4070 according to AMD's in-house testing, in both traditionally rasterized performance and ray tracing (an area where AMD has lagged behind for two generations).

In games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the RX 7800 XT outperformed the RTX 4070 at 1440p by 23%, 15%, and 5% respectively. It did, however, lose out heavily when ray-tracing was turned on, with Nvidia's card pulling ahead by 12% in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and 18% in Doom Eternal. Still, some outliers in favor of AMD with single-digit performance advantages, such as Resident Evil 4 and Far Cry 6, both with raytracing on, show that AMD has potentially made some ground up. And at a full $100 cheaper, the RX 7800 XT proposes some mighty value over the RTX 4070.
