Radeon?

New ones are always better and we have been waiting for new ones for over two years

The igpu in the 7600x is not meant for gaming. It can’t even run 1080p RuneScape 3 on normal settings without lag. Only runs fine with minimum settings. Even a GTX 770 is much more powerful.

Usually copper heatpipes that are found in most air coolers have a drop of liquid in them to boost perfomance.

Yes, a delta over so much 30c is not normal. If you still have warranty on the card then absolutely do not open it because your rma can be denied if you do. Just rma the card. If you are out of warranty then replace the thermal paste and hope it fixes it.

For me the games I have enjoyed the most are Ratchet and Clank games. I’m so lucky there has been many releases with most of them being good. Longer development cycles and the mindset of releasing when ready would be better for these games too.

I work in a store that sells computer parts and we do pretty many sd card warranty replacements where the customer states that it was used in a steam deck and died in less than a year of use. So in my view the cards dying is true.

Small town in Finland. 1000/1000 mbps uncapped fiber. 50€/month.

For me it has been running just fine with 7900XTX on a 4k TV all settings on Epic. Stutters only occur occasionally in a few places. I only started playing it a week ago though so there might have been some patches.
