    NVIDIA Reveals 80% Adoption of DLSS Among GeForce RTX Gamers - So much for "fake pixels"!

    FSR on a TV 6+ feet away might be a thing, but on my monitor I turned on FSR 2.5............and immediately turned it off and went back to lower frames w/TLAA which looked perfect.

    Xbox Series S: 10 GB of shared memory needs years of optimization — Black Myth Wukong dev lead

    Go give a PC in your living room to a 9 year old and an 11 year old, then a mouse, a keyboard, a joypad or two, Discord logins, Steam Logins, Epic logins.....etc. Then windows update notifications, Nvidia/AMD updates, virus scan results popping up, random windows crap, now install driver...

    Xbox Series S: 10 GB of shared memory needs years of optimization — Black Myth Wukong dev lead

    Sony needs console domination, Microsoft doesn't. They already own the entire world's PC gaming market, maybe except for Linus Torvalid's house, they own the planet's PC game experience. 100 million ps5's ain't shit compared the number of Windows installations. Every game starts off running...

    Xbox Series S: 10 GB of shared memory needs years of optimization — Black Myth Wukong dev lead

    It's more of a UE5 problem than a Series S problem. Games on older engines do just fine, newer engines do struggle a bit but UE5 is in its toddler phase right now and it's bringing $1000 hardware to its knees, lets consider it an outlier for the moment. Yes it sucks that they can't deliver an...

    NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 Rumored To Feature A Whopping $1,500+ MSRP, Marking A Huge Difference From The GeForce RTX 4080

    Get your tinfoil out: This is part of the new 21st century business model to price *everything* out of the reach of most mere mortals to, instead, make it all available for LEASE or RENT at prices that are more agreeable.

    It Looks Like ‘Half Life 3’ Could Be Announced Very Soon

    HL3 VR only would be a fail. We understand the limitations of VR now. MOvement without Movement will forever be a problem that is immersion breaking, when the entire selling point of VR is the immersion. The genre will thrive as a Helmet Simulator, aka: Driving games, flying games, anything...

    NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 Rumored To Feature A Whopping $1,500+ MSRP, Marking A Huge Difference From The GeForce RTX 4080

    Depends on what you are shopping for. I've spent a couple grand with them over the years, I've never once been ripped off or had a refund request disputed. Everything I kept that arrived intact is still working, including 2 different portable monitors that get daily use. Now if I was buying...

    NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang To Deliver Iconic “CES 2025” Keynote On January 6, Reshaping The Future of Computing Industries

    I completely agree...both with the excessive use of the word "compel" AND with the idea of AI logic that allow more cohesive interaction options with NPC's. But that's the tricky part.....because then you introduce randomness into a game that can essentially break it, or ruin your...

    NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang To Deliver Iconic “CES 2025” Keynote On January 6, Reshaping The Future of Computing Industries

    I'm not biting the hook anymore. Let them release all the $800+ video cards they want to, I'm playing the same @(#*ing 10 year old games at this point anyhow, everyting new is derivitive junk or variations on a theme. You can't compel me with expensive hardware when the software is just bleh...

    Most iPhone owners see little to no value in Apple Intelligence

    We should ask the AI's where they see their most value, and their answer...if they're intelligent at all....should be "Pr0n, and Breaking Financial Models", in that order.

    Intel Arc B580 Review - Excellent Value

    Even though I don't need a GPU right now, I am standing and clapping for Intel on this. They needed a Win, and they appear to have delivered. $250? C'Mon, that's like couch change in the world of GPU's. DF did a good preview/review too, worth a watch. DLSS and back-catalog performance...

    Amazon on Strike starting Black Friday

    Fair Point but this is where I turn to those initiating the strike to show us their real intentions......do you block everything because you're a brain-dead zelot or do you take the respectful move and say "We aren't delivering your discounted xmas light sets, but if you're ordering medications...

    Amazon on Strike starting Black Friday

    I don't mind the democratic process, Amazon isn't shipping insulin or perishable organs for transplant. Now, if we become France where every time someone gets a bad review they shut down the national infrastructure to make a point, then I get pissed, but this...ain't that.

    Anyone else using an eGPU via USB4 that stopped working due to Windows 23H updates?

    (re-reads his post.....oooph yeah you're right.) My bad, yeah it's the dock that doesn't show up.....so nothing plugged into the dock shows up. Yesterday I tried to use the USB4 port to a portable monitor using the USB4 cable....didn't work. Used a regular USBC cable to the usb4 port to the...

    Anyone else using an eGPU via USB4 that stopped working due to Windows 23H updates?

    Because I knew you were smart enough to realize I can't install Nvidia drivers..... unless it sees the nvidia GPU in the dock :) No USB dock presence, no GPU seen. Only the iGPU shows up in Device Manager. Actually on this topic I decided to order-up a 1 foot long certified USB4 cable off the...

    Anyone else using an eGPU via USB4 that stopped working due to Windows 23H updates?

    We're on the same little box then....but your RAZOR is TB3 right, not USB4?

    Anyone else using an eGPU via USB4 that stopped working due to Windows 23H updates?

    I've run a miniPC for about a year and a half or so, working great, does just what I need it to do (like, not be a laptop with an attached 14" Screen).....but since it had USB4 implementation, I took advantage of that by running (occasionally, mostly because I could, not because I ever really...

    Tencent Considers Buyout of UBI

    It's a plausible theory, playing the loooooong game to buy the resources away from an entity versus stealing or conquering. But in the end my question is the same: Where's the next competetor to Call of Duty that has a 12 hour campain with multiplayer and Co-Op that people can replay when they...

    Tencent Considers Buyout of UBI

    Except they can't, because nobody is buying their politics-injected software, this is clear.....now.......and No company buys another company to make repeated failures unless the goal is to shut-down the company and acquire the properties and licenses that the company holds. So they are either...

    Exactly what all of us thought when we set it up back in the day, only to find it was really more suited to people who either shared a PC or, like you said above, just game at completely different times. I mean, it wasn't completely useless...it was great for letting someone try out a game for...

    Previously only 1 person could use the library at the same time. This change appears to let up to 6 other people play games off the library at the same time, just not the same game.

    After a decade of free Alexa, Amazon now wants you to pay

    I think the type of commands I was referring to above are so innocuous that 'who cares' applies if they go to the cloud or not. But I agree, stuff like this...why does it require a hive-mind to process? I'm curious as to what an enhanced Alexa would deliver, besides more boxes to our...

    After a decade of free Alexa, Amazon now wants you to pay

    I think Amazon wanted to shut down Alexa a year or two ago, or they were considering mothballing the program or ceasing development.....because they envisioned the tool to be primarily used to order items from Amazon, in other words...generating Revenue. Instead, nobody uses it for that and...
