3 hours into Hogwarts Legacy as the edition came with 72 hours of early access. Release is 2/10/23
Game is gorgeous. The castle is massive and I can tell there’ll be quite a bit of a selection for spells. Combat is great and so far no frame stuttering or bugs. Playing on ultra 4k settings with FSR set to Quality.

It looks pretty good, but for some reason I've always had a completely irrational hatred of anything Harry Potter related. I disliked it before that was the cool thing to do. |

i'm old fashioned. i still like to run a dvd-r/w drive. and my current setup has a 5.25 fan controller panel i'd likely integrate into the newer build as well, though the bios fan control is supposed to be much better than the old x58 sabertooth board i'm running now.

If you're done with the old computer you may be able to just "upgrade hardware" on the old license.

Also why not 13600 vs the 12700? It's the better CPU across the board https://www.techpowerup.com/review/i...ore-i5-13600k/

Picked up the Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 for a really good deal! I got it not because I need a gaming laptop, per se, but because I also need a computer for work. We were supposed to be issued laptops well over a year ago, but the people who are in charge are too lazy. So I figured, if I'm going to get a laptop, why not get something I can do work and game with! The specs also seem pretty damn good too. Ryzen 7 and a 3060 means I can enjoy many of the games I typically play. But I also don't plan do really play that many anyway.

i'm still attached to the stigma that any i7 is a better processor than any i5..

Basically, in order to get the most out of the i9s for example, you have to also buy a really expensive motherboard and a bigger power supply. It's great if you are a numbers junkie, but it doesn't really improve the experience unless you have specific processor-intensive work.
