I do not live in the US, in my country net neutrality stopped being enforced by the government. So what happened to the consumer? I have a 1Gb/400Mb connection, if I access Netflix, Google, Microsoft or Steam it's all good I mostly get those speeds. Now if I stray from the path and say connect...

Thanks for the link. Watched it, started ok and went downhill with logical leaps that serve only to sell what seems to be that creator's theme. I dug a bit more for other sources and most stuff seems to hinge on people speculating the Product Inclusion Resource thing is mandatory instead of...

Can you give me a decent source for that? Not trying to be pedantic but i've seen a lot of fud and wrong or exaggerated shitposting about stuff like this, so I take everything with a lot of salt.

Can you elaborate?

Isn't the head of global marketing Jerret West? (That woman works as a global product marketing manager but does not seem to be the head of marketing)

is that the large wave of blind rage going around for a single sub-point on a list of several areas on an optional set of guidelines that says something like "Consider if they [female characters] have exaggerated proportions?" oh yeah that's straight up demanding developers to only make ugly...

Most of the games I tried I enjoyed/finished. I don't grab every random game that gets added, I do a rudimentary check to see if it's something I'll enjoy. Picking up a game to see if I enjoy or not also happens when I buy it. In this case I might try a game for half an hour or so to check if I...

And when the prices go up, if the value is no longer there for me I won't buy/subscribe, same logic for buying games. That's in a scenario where subscription only exists, again I don't believe it will go that way, your opinion might differ and that's fair. No I don't, again I'll pay while the...

That was not my experience at all. Just to clarify that point: I tried some games that I wouldn't otherwise and found them to be good and enjoyable experiences outside my usual type of games. That was definitely a plus on my book. ( I also tried some games that weren't good or enjoyable for me...

Disagree, I enjoy my game-pass and the bunch of games I played that I wouldn't touch/buy otherwise. 1. Service fragmentation is annoying af, but the base premise remains the same: business offers service, is it worth it for me? yes/no and I either buy or not based on that. 2. Some games are...

Slight side-track but that reminded me of this: channel1.ai

The game produces the same number of frames, the system itself produces more frames, so it will feel smoother.

Man, the 4870, was my longest serving gpu, what a nice buy that was. One can only dream of something similar happening again.

kac77 wrong link i think

Can you expound on this a bit? I've been using both Nvidia and AMD and I prefer AMD's control software by far, and have had no issues I can recall. I know not everyone has the same experiences so I'm intrigued as to why call them a disaster at this point?

That's what I did when pointing out their lifetime revenue on Steam and it was not that much compared to all Steam. While I find it unlikely that Microsoft will remove these games from Steam (heck they just announced they'll be adding Overwatch 2), I don't know what they'll do long term, guess...

I'll disagree on that point, when talking how much it would affect Valve if Msft pulled out of Steam, doesn't matter which valuation ActiBliz has since that also includes their mobile part and Blizz's stuff that isn't even on Steam anyway. Looking at how much revenue Steam would lose out of...

I think you're underestimating Steam/Valve's market size. Microsoft + Activision + Bethesda lifetime revenue on steam is about $5bn, that's less than 10% of Valve's revenue for the last 5 years. Valve can survive the hypothetical (and extremely unlikely) situation of Microsoft removing all it's...

Sorry should've detailed it better. Those numbers are for gaming revenue, drilling down on the sources it includes all games and excludes hardware [1] (msft pc game sales are reported under the xbox division as far as i can tell) Humm I see your point, but there's plenty of large moving...

For this comparison shouldn't we look at game revenue instead? It seems it would give a better image of market share. Ideally we would be talking about units moved but with multi-year development cycles and all that it gets tricky to get that data. FY 2020-2021 Name Country Revenue...

Depending on how much you're paying you get better or worse quality answers (chatGPT 3, 3.5, 3.5-turbo, 4), you can also get to define how factual or hallucinated is the answer you get. And as LukeTbk pointed out it does not just regurgitate what it found online, it will use it's knowledge to...

Quick look at games that already released [1]: DLSS: 280 FSR: 218

Hardware Unboxed take:

I would assume so, if they block Microsoft acquisition now, they will also block Tencent acquisitions in the future?

Oh, I acknowledge there are problems, some of their games are too derivative, and their delivery is spotty sometimes to name a few. Didn't mention there were no problems. Just that some of the reactions seemed to be a pure "I don't like their games so it's good they're dying" kind of deal, which...

Apparently unpopular opinion but I actually enjoyed some of their games, off the top of my head: Anno 1800, For Honor, The Division and even some of the Assassin's Creed. Always found their art/production on the high side of the spectrum. They provided me plentiful of good hours of...

Is it only me that finds it peculiar that nvidia is not in that group (so far)?

You got my attention now 🤔

nope

I have to applaud the naming. Good job sir, have a nice day!

Since the CPU used was a 3600X it would seem more likely that it's a desktop version. (Or an engineering sample on a desktop system for testing purposes?)

Thank you erek and everyone else that keep posting interesting news, it's appreciated.

I think DF detailed pretty well what they were able to match and what not, found it more than decent enough for comparison. GN used different fps measuring technique for each system (despite their address it might skew the values in either direction). They also chose 2 older games not designed...

On their video the PS5 had a performance similar to a 1060 on a 2019 game (DMC5) and to a 1070 Ti on another 2019 game (Borderlands 3), and outperformed a 1080/2060 on a 2020 game (Dirt 5, PS5 119 fps vs 108 fps on that PC). Broadening the data range and including Digital Foundry comparisons of...

"[UPDATED on 1/22/2021 at 8:52 PM PT] We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold...

Agree with this so much! Disagree with this part, from my experience Xbox/PS2 and X360/PS3 aged fairly well imo. I did not own either of the XOne or PS4 but the hardware seemed rather mediocre for that generation. For this new gen the hardware seems far more capable for the asking price, time...

Don't recall if I caught the little thief, which reminds me, I should go back to finish the game, now that I have more free time. (Also I see your necromancy powers are still going strong :P)

There might also be the advantage of reducing AMD's available fab space at TSMC

Damn! That's a whole other level of confidence in it's own products. Refreshing to see.

Wasn't it in 2014 for Display Port and 2017 for HDMI?
