Just given it a quick whirl, bloody impressive! Graphics are the best I've seen in any game ever, I'm not kidding. Lighting is spot on everywhere, especially in the paddock area which I've only just seen. It makes you remember games don't need bullshit like ray tracing and DLSS5, good artists...

...and then a year later they released their MOTHERBOARD chipset, the nforce2, which nailed it across the board, made VIA look stupid, and remains, still, the best onboard sound hardware ever made for a mainstream motherboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NForce2 :cool: Make Nvidia...

Microsoft Encarta '95! The entire world knowledge contained on a single Compact Disc! :cool:😎

The root cause of all of this, actually, is memory pricing. And the blatant false scarcity made up by the dram makers who are holding the entire world to mercy. Almost literally. If memory wasn't scarce, everyone could just simply make more graphics cards. AMD could, and would, just under cut...

That has got to be his lamest video yet. 15 minute explainer where he explains literally nothing about what any of the options do, merely that they're there, and you can change them. He doesn't even complete any comparison testing. Total muppet.

My Matrox Mystique 220 + Matrox M3D gets buried with me :joyful:

Totally in same boat as OP. Started out with family Intel 286 DX2 (66mhz!) - then consoles, NES, etc. through to N64 (last console I've ever owned), then first gaming PC (PentiumII 300mhz, Matrox PowerVR m3D - I still own these, so cute :)) But I think we've just out-grown mainstream gaming...

That's a real shame. I love HL2, but Ravenholm is the definite low point. Feels so out of place and is just annoying to work through. Really feels like work. And to top it off that Preacher guy is just outright annoying. Is there anyone who doesn't find that guy just really f*cking annoying...

Awesome! Take my money!! :cool: Would have been nice if they included Hitman Blood Money, hands down the best in the entire series and last 'true' hitman game (no Jesper Kyd score, that aint Hitman). I guess they can do a DLSS 4.5 update for Blood Money separately, THAT would be super sweet.

Can't help but fear they have SERIOUSLY shot themselves in the foot by making it a prequel. Think of all the events that have happened in GW2 and so necessarily CAN'T happen in GW3, else it won't make any sense. All the Dragons, all the new races discovered, all the key game lore that has...

Looks to me like one of those gold caps exploded, the size is smaller than the area circled, which seems to show another cap that's still ok, albeit got some debris on the top side. You can probably just ignore it. I've popped off those lil caps of many cards over the years and noticed no problems.

This is how it's meant to be played though right? :p I've never raced seriously in Forza 5, just do whatever it takes to get ahead, and if the AI is blatantly going to rubberband, then killing them isn't optional, it's necessary. Anyway, so far I've played one long opening session a few days...

I think we need to remind ourselves that the real reason for the high GPU prices in recent years is mostly down to lack of competition. Nvidia are now competing with themselves, a 6090 would have no competition beside a 5090, so they'll price it accordingly, $2,500 at the very least. And a 6080...

Just tried the demo, there's an option near the bottom of the graphics section called simething like Lens affect, click once left to remove chromatic aberration but leave the rest of the effect on, or turn it off, but I noticed weird arfticats on windows with it off. On another note, are you PC...
