The trend of disappointing PC ports was problematic in 2022 and it's with a profound sense of disappointment that 2023 wasn't that much better. Looking to highlight the issues, John Linneman and Alex Battaglia compare notes on the worst three PC ports of the year - but before that, they share a few examples of PC titles that shipped in a pretty poor state... but did actually improve significantly across the months after their release.

Used to have cablemod cables. The clips would slip out the psu and push the connector out. Changed over to custom made ones that are handmade locally. Pexon. Much better.

A lot of you have requested that we run power consumption tests for gaming on CPUs, so we've finally done that! And alongside fulfilling that request, we also wanted to tackle a comment from Greg, our recurring antagonist commenter, who "requested" CPU efficiency testing. These benchmarks look at the efficiency and raw power consumption of Intel vs. AMD CPUs. There's a particular focus on the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel Core i7-14700K and 14900K CPUs, as these are the most recent and directly comparable / best gaming CPUs.

I've been playing it. The Depth of Field was really broken and my main issue. Theres alot of issues both in performance and bugs in the game like the crops and mining areas not setting properly which you have to relocate to the same place in order to fix. Been getting anything from 20 to 60fps on 4k High but I have a 3090 so id expect it to be more based on the gfx. What I'll also say is it doesnt seem to have the same soul as the first one nor any of the simcity's

To be fair with CS1 and mods like 81 tiles when you got a population of 100,000 the fps would tank and go around 20fps regardless of system spec or game settings. CS1 was responsible for me getting 64GB ram on the newer system i built at the time. I fully expect it again on CS2 but I come from a time where Crysis ran at 15fps and was great on my 7800GTX
