Just bought some new PC components

Done Building it yaaaaaay! my Tifa PLOT Gaming PC is alive !2+ years in the making lol

Haven't tried to experiment much with Tifa PLOT II's Engine ini stuff but tried running Tifa PLOT
II with my new Tifa PLOT gaming PC lol and it runs great indeed and my GPU temp is cool so far , only reaching 50 degrees Celsius max so far during gameplay. recorded the test play including zoomed in view of Tifa's PLOT lol with real time temp stats and other realtime gpu stats:

Thanks! Well the $2000 gaming pc you are planning to build will be great too. It will play Tifa's PLOT nicely too! And I still need to get the pc case ...

Assuming the price isn't 5k by the time I can get to it.

I think at most the Rtx 5070 price will increase to around $1200-1300 from around $700. The main problem will be the RAM price. You could get 8 GB RAM at first then get more to at least totalling 16GB RAM later on when the RAM prices cool down. So probaby you could still build a good gaming pc for around $3200 ish during this gloom and doom time and not 5K.

Ugh, but that's a bit too much.

Hopefully the AI bubble will just pop fast and all gaming pc component prices return to normal!

Cranked up The game's Level Of Detail, Foliage, Grass, landscape detail and Textures past the game's default max. added these values/lines to the FF7 Rebirth's Engine ini:

r.ScreenPercentage=150 ; Increase pixel resolution detail from game default max
r.AllowOcclusionQueries=0 ;
r.Streaming.PoolSize=7800; Increase Texture detail from game default max
r.RenderTargetPoolMin=3048 ;

r.ViewDistanceScale=9;
foliage.DensityScale=9 ;
grass.DensityScale=9;
r.LandscapeLODDistributionScale=9;
r.LandscapeLOD0DistributionScale=9 ;

Mt. Nibel looks really great and the Gpu can handle it well and temp also good still 47-50ish Degrees Celsius despite the cranked up stuff. Recorded the Mt Nibel Flashback Mission with younger Cowgirl Tifa PLOT action lol with gpu realtime stats:

and the new Dodge Parry Counter mechanic is great!

Alternatively you could get the Steam Machine if the price is good. Steam Machine's GPU should be able to handle Rebirth well enough too. AMD's RDNA 3 is like between RTX 5060 and RTX 5070. From latest rumor/leak Steam machine will be around $800 to $900 before taxes.
