🚨 AMD RDNA 5 DELAYED Until 2027? AI May Be Killing Gaming GPUs youtu.be/pVzXhwWAUJ8

Valve is finally saying the Steam Machine is shipping this summer, but of course, they still left out the one thing everyone wants to know: the price. • Steam Machine and Steam Frame is expected this summer • Valve is expanding Steam Verified beyond Steam Deck • Steam Machine will have its own Verified system • Steam Frame standalone games will also get verification • No exact release date yet • No official price yet • Price is the real concern with memory and hardware costs rising I want the Steam Machine to do well, but Valve to watch their steps.

We've seen the New York Knicks win a championship before GTA 6. 🤯

Now this is legendary.

AMD Software 26.6.1 adds support for Microsoft Advanced Shader Delivery in the Xbox PC app for those who care for the app. • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 is out • Adds support for Microsoft Advanced Shader Delivery • Works through the Xbox PC app / Microsoft Store ecosystem • Focus is reducing shader compilation stutter and long first-launch load times • Microsoft says ASD can reduce load times by up to 90% by delivering precompiled shaders at download time • Supported AMD hardware includes newer RDNA-based Radeon GPUs, with Microsoft’s preview focused on RDNA 3, RDNA 3.5, and RDNA 4 systems • AMD’s 26.6.1 driver supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, but ASD itself is mainly tied to Windows 11/Xbox app support • This does not automatically work for every game, every storefront, or every GPU • Steam, Epic, and GOG support would be the real game changer if this expands beyond Xbox PC app titles Shader stutter has been one of the most annoying parts of modern PC gaming, so I’m glad Microsoft and AMD are finally attacking it directly. Unfortunately still tied to the Xbox PC app/Microsoft Store side, most people are not going to feel the full impact unless more games and storefronts support it.

Has TODAY'S PC hardware pricing stopped you from building the PC of your dreams?

Memory prices are getting cooked, and TrendForce is now saying DDR4 tightness is even spilling over into DDR3. • TrendForce says DRAM spot quotes are still trending upward • DDR5 demand is especially strong • Buyers are reportedly more willing to accept higher DDR5 pricing • DDR4 supply is still tight, with prices staying high • Some buyers are downgrading from DDR4 to DDR3 because DDR4 is too expensive or hard to get • That shift is now pushing DDR3 prices higher too • Mainstream DDR4 1Gx8 3200MT/s rose 2.22%, from $35.12 on June 3 to $35.90 on June 9 • NAND flash spot prices have stabilized after 2Q26 contract price hikes • 512Gb TLC wafer spot prices slightly declined 0.22% to $20.638 • Bigger picture: RAM and storage pricing pressure is not going away yet DDR5 is moving up because demand is strong, DDR4 is tight enough that buyers are falling back to DDR3, and even older memory is getting dragged into the mess.

Proton-CachyOS just fixed a specific but useful OptiScaler problem for people trying to use DLSS inputs with FSR4 upgrades on Linux. • GitHub issue #214 was a feature request for Proton-CachyOS • Problem involved using PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER=1 with PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1 • Some games that only expose DLSS inputs, like Control Ultimate Edition, were not creating the needed DLSS DLL files • Missing files included nvngx_dlss.dll, nvngx_dlssd.dll, and nvngx_dlssg.dll • Without those files, OptiScaler could not hook the DLSS input and upgrade it to FSR4 • The workaround was launching once with only PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER=1, then relaunching with the FSR4 upgrade flag • Proton-CachyOS 11.0-20260601 changed PROTON_USE_OPTISCALER to also download DLSS DLLs by default for FSR4 input support • The same release also added PROTON_OPTISCALER_CONFIG for editing OptiScaler config through an environment variable • This is niche, but it matters for Linux gaming, AMD users, and people testing FSR4 upgrade paths through Proton-CachyOS This is one of those Linux gaming updates that sounds easy to ignore to normal people, but it will making gaming much more comfortable. Before this, if you wanted to use OptiScaler with FSR4 upgrades in a DLSS-only game, you had to do the dummy launch for a game to workaround just to generate the DLSS DLL files.

The RX 9070 XT shows up on the Steam Hardware Survey at 1.33% is a massive deal for AMD, especially after being M.I.A for so long. • RX 9070 XT appeared on the May 2026 Steam Hardware Survey • Listed at 1.33% share on its first real appearance • Wccftech says RX 9000 cards were mostly missing from Steam’s survey for nearly a year • RTX 5080 is listed at 1.47%, so the RX 9070 XT is surprisingly close • RX 9060 XT also appeared at 0.72% share • RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti are still much higher in overall share • AMD is still far from the top 10 GPUs on Steam • Good sign for Radeon, but NVIDIA still dominates the bigger Steam GPU picture In value, performance, and pricing, a lot of people have been recommending the card for months, but Steam made it look like nobody owned one.
