Between the 3 performance modes, which mode would you recommend playing for the best experience? And is the lower resolution noticeable in Performance RT?
You can watch this video and decide what you prefer in the end.

For me personally, I wanted the best fidelity. But what I found out is that when I turn my camera around, the whole background scenery became jittery and blur until I stop spinning around and aiming at the enemy.
I then begrudgingly tried to use RT Performance. I find it slightly less sharp. Like very slightly. But the difference... I can finally see the game environment clearly when I spin the camera around. World of a difference for this game. I'd trade fidelity just for the fact that I can actually see the environment more when I move the camera around as opposed to having the blur motion when looking around at 30fps with Fidelity mode.
For Spiderman, I preferred Fidelity. But this game, RT Performance was great.

Best implementation of motion blur too. Even by Digital Foundry's standards. Best to leave Motion Blur and Film Grain on. The game's implementation of this is top notch. It is not intrusive and applies at just the right things. Makes motion feel sooo much smoother. I highly recommend it.

Here's the Digital Foundry video to let you decide.

I buy R&C Rift Apart on PSN at SGD$ 97.90 with debit card.
On the bank statement show $100.64
Is that debit or PSN surcharge?

Weird. I used PayPal to pay for my Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Deluxe edition. It's exactly $109. No more, no less.

suspect they are charges your bank imposed, you got to go through your credit cards’ terms and conditions for such electronic transactions. Otherwise, to avoid, use those prepaid cards like YouTrip.

When you pay in SGD but the charge is done overseas, it will incur DCC charges. Not earned by the merchant, it's just a processing costs.

So when you go overseas shopping, they ask if you want to charge in local currency or SGD, ALWAYS pick local currency. Their SGD rate is already inflated and you get DCC charge on top as well, modern day "trick".

Whereas for PSN, the payment is not processed in Singapore, you will get that charge. Same goes for a lot of other merchants, such as Nike SG. Some portals using PayPal can avoid that charge because PayPal can process it locally, because the payment goes to PayPal Singapore.

For those looking for a good headset, arctis 7p now on sale on amazon US. about 32% cheaper than local retail

This was previously my favourite headset until I upgraded to arctis pro wireless. Still a very good headset at a good discount now


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

I'm using arctis pro wireless too. Did u update the headset to the latest firmware with ps5 mode? I have been having probs updating. If u did, how do u do it?

Currently I'm using Creative sxfi theater wireless headset for my ps5.

Should I change to Artic 7p for better sound quality?
Or both of them are not much different in term of sound quality?

Need some advice from yours guy. Thanks.
