    Star Wars Episode 1: Racer Reimagined in Unreal Engine 4

    Not bad, I still fire this up every now and again on the retro-box. The AI is crap, but this is a great title to fire up at a retro-LAN. I'd love a new Jedi Knight or Jedi Academy. I want my NF/SO duel loving back, schooling fanners into rage quitting. Those were good times.

    New Speculative Execution Bug Allegedly Affects Intel CPUs

    Up until this, you needed local admin perms to do any real damage, thus it was more a home user issue. In the enterprise, needing admin privileges makes it almost a none issue, as it would take a foolish senior engineer or high mucky-muck to propagate. So it could be lethal in an an environment...

    NVIDIA and AMD Are Shipping Fewer GPUs as Retailers Sit on Inventory

    HAHA! They could sell them if they dropped the prices. But no, someone convinced all the distributors that they could keep their crypto-inflated margins. Could I buy a $1200 video card? Yes. Will I buy a $1200 video card? Hell no. Once you get over 4 figures for a single component you are...

    Boneworks Has the Physics Underpinnings to Be a Next Generation VR Masterpiece

    I just kept thinking of Doom and Shadow of Mordor/War. In DOOM, Glory Kills could get nuts. And Shadow, oh man, the mechanics you could work in there. Good stuff.

    GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mega Benchmark: 34% Faster than GTX 1060 6G at 1440p

    If you're at 1080p 60Hz and fine with med-high settings, you should be OK I would think, especially if you're not an AA snob like me. If you were maxing out your VRAM in anything it would already be obvious. I guess it depends on what you consider an upgrade. Depending on how your card clocks...

    Microsoft Is Reportedly Bringing Xbox Game Pass to Nintendo Switch

    This could be pretty neat. Streaming can work for many genres, in this case we could have titles that look better then anything the Switch could pull off native. There could even be battery benefits, as it should need less power to stream rather then actually rendering. I'm sure some of the...

    Hardware Unboxed Calls NVIDIA DLSS "The Biggest RTX Fail of Them All"

    I was hoping the use of RTX in Exodus would be better then BFV, as Global Illumination is bound to add more then reflections to a shooter. For the most part, this seems to be the case. Some issues with dark areas, but that seems to be more level/game design then it just not working. DLSS seems...

    Police are Using Drones in 911 Calls

    I wonder how they would feel about the validity of drone footage featuring an incident of police brutality/corruption/failure of due process. I'm guessing these flights would violate the restrictions placed on unmanned operations for private citizens over populated areas. Those restrictions...

    Plans for First Chinese Solar Power Station in Space Revealed

    If it's parked to beam down power to China, it's not likely to be of much use against all but their nearest neighbors, if it can even be weaponized. Looking at the proposal, I'm not sure it can be. I can't decide what my biggest worry is. 1.) Possible carnage on the ground when this HUGE thing...

    Samsung Quits Blu-ray Player Market

    BD movies aren't that expensive. Even at $30, it's not really much more then we paid for new VHS or DVDs when they were the hotness. For me it really depends on if it's something I'll watch once or twice ever, or something I'll watch once or twice a year. I'll drop 30 bux on the latter without...

    Today's Battlefield V Patch Adds DLSS and Optimizes Ray Tracing

    The biggest issue isn't what performance or IQ trade-offs exist. The biggest issue is that it relies on nVidia investing in a title to make it work, or being payed to do so. They do all the training on their end, then add a profile to a driver for the local card to use for processing the...

    EA "Respawns": Company Up 16% as Apex Legends Reverses Entire Loss

    That's exactly the point. Why market to "Gamers" that already know what's up. You want to pitch it to peeps who have no idea what you're on about, on the off chance you'll hook someone new. The only thing even close to stealing your competitors customers is creating a new customer that will view...

    AdoredTV Analyzes AMD Engineering Sample Benchmarks

    Neutral Canadian accent? Wataya own aboot? So the food is good, you just don't like the spoon used to eat it? Get off your own lawn with that crap. (Though I recognize your right to your own opinion.) I've been told I'm too pretty to take seriously when talking tech or engineering, guess I...

    Asus GPU Tweak II's "Ad" is Really a Custom Overlay

    C'mon guys, think about it. You're in a corporate meeting, discussing the new feature you're adding to an application. Part of it is a logo imposed on streams that will be seen by a potentially large number of people. You need a placeholder for the logo until one is specified. The choices are...

    AdoredTV Analyzes AMD Engineering Sample Benchmarks

    That was a really good run through how cache works. This saved me weeks of my life. I can just point people to this when they ask how cache works, though I may need to clarify the difference between instructions and data. During the history lesson, I couldn't help but think back to the...
