If I miss a part on commentary, I lose out on the video explanation. If I miss part of the movie, why the hell are these people trying to kill each other. Different levels of impact where rewinding just a few minutes and not going back to the beginning for exposition and reparsing it all back together.

My SO upgraded to a Ryzen 5600 and 6600 GPU from a 1050TI and some integrated old CPU and saw massive improvements for BG3. I don’t know the integrated CPU but I think that made the difference for this game. Loading in went from crashes or naked people to no issue at all.

I gifted that card to my SO mid scalping days to relieve their integrated CPU some work and it held the entire time (3 years). They got a great deal on a CPU and GPU and accessories for like 400 USD this year. Ryzen 5600 and the AMD equivalent of a 3060 (6600?) and with some PC building tools on top of it. BG3 went from a mess at act 3 to buttery smooth. i think it went from low to high settings as well. Great card all in all. The CPU made the difference in this case (I think).
