This game influenced the majority of my gaming purchases
- Stellar Blade made me buy the PS5 console (and later the disc drive to play the JP disc version)
- It made me start my pc building journey with the AM5 platform from an ITX form factor and then MATX which I’ve used until now.
- My CPU also upgraded from originally a 7500F to a 7800X3D.
- At first I used an RX 9060 XT 16 GB which is quite nice but it feels lacking to me for Stellar Blade, especially because I was (and still am) using a 1440p monitor. Also using FSR does something weird with EVE’s hair IIRC where it made it shimmer. So then I switched to a 5060 Ti 16 GB. Paired with DLSS, made EVE completely beautiful and gave me smooth gameplay. Then I started experimenting with Intel Arc B580 because it had just released the driver for Stellar Blade. But I wasn’t satisfied, which led me to sell it.
- The RTX 5060 Ti was nice, but I wanted more oomph. I wanted to play SB at very high settings in high refresh rate. So I upgraded to an RTX 5070 Ti, which has been my daily driver since.
That’s it I guess, just wanted to share my experience. How’s yours?
