The AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT is in many respects exactly what we'd been waiting for: a budget GPU at just $200, intended to offer solid gaming performance at 1080p.

Welcome to the 45th edition of Digital Foundry Direct Weekly, where - as you may expect - the aftershocks of Microsoft's Activision acquisition continue to dominate discussion with a quarter-hour of chat in addition to the DF Direct special posted last week. I have little to add to this particular debate, except to say that the news continues an age-old tradition where you can guarantee that a major news event will kick off should I dare countenance taking a few days off.

Perhaps I should go on vacation more often, simply for the purpose of spicing up the news cycle.

Our Game of the Year 2021 was a surprise for some of you, I'm sure. It was - and is - a game that found a powerful new way to tell a story. A game that invited our lives and experiences into it by keeping the subject of its story out of direct sight.

It's a recipe for disappointment for the RTX 3060, but thankfully Nvidia's new card has some unique advantages that keep it in contention - including some surprising specs, a raft of custom designs and a nerf to cryptomining that may aid retail availability.

I haven't been to a gig in years - I guess with Covid I'm not alone there, but even before that it was getting on a bit. I remember though. One of the magical things about live music, when you're seeing a band you really love, is that this private relationship - headphones, personal playlists - is suddenly very public. It's a room and then you and hundreds of other people who all feel the same way about Moloko or whatever. (I am old.)
