The fact that Madoka is not even available in my region on steam tells me enough.

I think that really depends on whatever legislation is exactly going to be written to address this. Knowing the EU they will actually address this, but leave open some egregious loopholes. The question is, what hoops are there to be jumped through?

You'd be surprised how much more useful this is than absolutely nothing. But considering your tone you're not arguing in good faith.

I really love the web-based interface. That means it will work on every (reasonable) OS. Hurray Fractal. I'll eagerly await their open-back variant. Please make one.

9070XTs are now readily available at MSRP with some even going below it in Europe. Funnily enough the 9070 is every so slightly above MSRP now, unexpected.

For gpus yeah, for a long time. But for docking and cable solutions they're a mainstay in Europe. I'd place them in a price and quality a tier above cable matters.

Except it does not? They're just sent as key events which are picked up correctly by virtually every OS.

Although positive news, are we really that impressed by a reduction from 1.3% to 1.07% for an 8GB card? My takeaway is that DLSS consumes a lot less VRAM than you'd expect.

They tried that with the XT suffix. That didn't work out and since this just works and there's no (notable) backlash...

200$ would be OK, 250$ is far in the "upselling you to the 5060" territory.

2560 Cuda Cores is probably going to be worse than a 6600 which I'd consider low-end nowadays. If performance is as expected I would not call it a mid-end card.

I just took a quick glance at local motherboard pricing and honestly it's a bit of a nothingburger. The first AM5 motherboard I'd comfortably recommend is about 95E, for Intel it's about 110E. So technically AM5 wins that round. If we're talking about cpu's around that price I'm thinking of...

Sorry, EU pricing. I'm not sure why you would think AM5 has more expensive motherboards?

The 7800X3D and 265K(F) are very similarly priced, so the question really boils down to productivity vs gaming performance. Oh how the turntables...

I care a whole lot less about manufacturers releasing a lower tier chip for a lower price which is appropriately named. The 5500X3D checks all three boxes. The 120F checks none of these boxes. The only thing that would somewhat redeem the 120F is an actual great MSRP, everything else still...
