Reflecting on the past week brings us to the 26th week of 2026. A total of 111 news articles and notations have emerged on ComputerBase with FSR 4 for Radeon RX 7000, the Steam Machine lottery, and pre-orders for GTA VI being among the hottest topics of this scorching week.
R7 5800X3D, Steam Machine, and GTA 6: Currently Incompatible
Could FSR 4 for older AMD hardware be the biggest topic of the week? Not quite! The most clicks within 24 hours post the publication of the corresponding test were for the older AMD hardware itself. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D (re-test) has made a return as the AM4 10 Years Anniversary Edition. For PC gamers still using a Ryzen 2000 or 3000 CPU on AM4, this gaming specialist remains a meaningful upgrade in 2026, albeit at the seemingly steep price of €360, allowing them to bypass the currently pricier shift to AM5. However, new customers should aim for the more modern platform right from the start.
The test of FSR 4.1.1 on Radeon RX 7000 focuses heavily on image quality and performance on RDNA 3, making it the second most visited article. AMD surprisingly released this contemporary AI upsampling technology earlier than expected on Monday for discrete graphics cards from the RX-7000 generation, having previously slated the release for July.
Among the news and notations, the dominant topics performed well. However, readers expressed particularly high interest in GTA VI. The game has been available for pre-order since Wednesday evening, priced at approximately €80 or €100.
Podcast on FSR 4 on RX 7000 and the Steam Machine
In the 175th episode of the ComputerBase podcast CB-Funk, Jan and Fabian discuss FSR 4 on Radeon RX 7000 and the sale or lottery launch of the Steam Machine. They also touch on the test of the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ equipped with Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme.
As for the upcoming week, both the editorial team and readers hope for the long-awaited cooling off. Regardless, tests for a matte 13-inch OLED tablet, a 3-liter PC from Asus ROG, and Intel’s Arc B770 from a gaming perspective are anticipated.
With this reading material in tow, the editorial team wishes everyone a relaxing Sunday!
