Coming this week on Digital Foundry (Week 21, 2021) (Patreon)

Hello there, here's your regularly scheduled weekly update on what it is we are actually doing - or indeed plan to do this week. As usual, the full release for DF Direct Weekly happens later today, but what about beyond that?

* Tom has a couple of days off, we'll figure out what he's up to when he gets back. Any suggestions?

* Rich finished off the mobile RTX 3080 review he's been threatening for weeks. It'll go live tomorrow!

* Alex is working on Tech Focus which will debut for Premium and Retro supporters first - still early days on this one but we're hoping to complete it this week. He's also interested in the new Halo MCC update that apparently fixes many of the long term issues.

* John and Audi are hard at work on the next full DF Retro episode. This will launch for Retro supporters on Sunday - at which point, the Quake episode goes public! This new episode is absolutely gigantic - you won't be disappointed.

* Will has practically finished the Core i5 11400F review amongst his many other duties and the results are so good, Rich may well produce some video content on it. The screenshot above shows results from Flight Simulator at 1080p with benchmarks taken with a box cooler and a budget motherboard. Pretty impressive, right? And the thing about the 11400F is that you can actually buy it - and at MSRP, no less! Zod be praised, it's a miracle!

* Biomutant eh? What's the fuss about the PS5 version only running at 1080p? Rich has been investigating what the limits of 'back compat plus' actually are and may well produce some #content about it. 

Patreon exclusive stuff? There'll be another Classic FPS Remastered, Rich may well attempt to find some time to get another behind the scenes video out (this time based on our PC benchmark workflow, as used in the RTX 3080 mobile video), while John and Audi will be filming a new Retro Corner. 

Enjoy!
