I still have my Steam Controller but I was itching for better Gyro after playing with Steam Deck so I picked up PS5 controller for PC after doing some research.
I like the PS5 one quite a lot, it does have nice upgrades over the Steam Controller like the adaptive triggers which work only in some games though and the haptics are sooo much better… But the battery life is a complete joke, it’s really annoying.
With SC I’ve just chucked in two AA batteries and was set for 3 months+ with PS5 controller I can barely get 10h with haptics and got around 15h without haptics… And it takes ages to charge too…
The only appeal of this new controller is the touch stick for gyro but other than that this seems quite lackluster imo.
I sold my used RTX 3060ti to a friend at work for 220eur and it was also a really nice overclocker. I would not even pay 300$ for a new 3060, not to mention used one… You can most likely grab used RX 6700 XT in that price range which will wipe the floor with a 3060.
I got used RX 6800 XT for myself in the May last year for 400eur and it’s also a good overclocker so I got 3090 levels of performance (in raster) out of it at over 300W but at that price I can’t complain at all.
It works inconsistently for me to the point that I just can’t rely on it.
I can give a very recent example, my W11 has also be freshly installed and there’s not much stuff installed yet.
I have portable version of HWinfo located in My Documents folder.
If I start typing “hwi” into search it will sometimes find it, sometimes it will find it only if I type “hw” but not find it if I type “hwi” so if I type fast I must then delete character… And sometimes it needs me to type whole name of the application and sometimes it won’t find anything no matter what I type.
Then there is Riva Tuner Statistics Server which is an installed application located on C: in Program Files folder. It launches with RTSS.exe… It may as well not exist for Windows search because no matter what I type it can’t ever find it.
It is taller but it’s overall still a small car and also very light. It also uses battery to help with acceleration a bit (mild hybrid). I don’t think just because it’s taller it automatically makes it worse. There must be other factors to consider too.
And the reason I personally don’t like hatchbacks is because I’m quite tall and I don’t like sitting low as it feels uncomfortable to me and makes getting in and out of a car pain in the ass… especially when parking near other cars with little space to open the door.
So it’s a “run somewhere” then?
