    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    As I recall, GPP required that AIB's "gaming" lines be Nvidia only. That goes beyond "brand separation".

    [Steam] Black Mesa 80% off @ $3.99 till 2-15-24

    They tried to improve Xen, but it's still a mess. Worth full price for everything up to that point, anyway.

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    If I get what I paid for, for the price I agreed to pay, I don't give 2 shits if it's a third party seller. I bought TotK as a Christmas present and got it for about $55. You can buy it today for about $55. Just another reason physical media is better than digital only or subscriptions.

    Baldur's Gate 3 10% off - warmish

    10% off on both GoG & Steam ($54). Digital Deluxe DLC is also 10% off ($9). First time I've seen any discount. Edit: GoG says "Offer ends on: 03/01/2024". Maybe it's a price drop?

    That cat is out of the bag. MS was ready to pounce when the board fucked up, and I doubt they'll backtrack on the opportunity.

    AMD Processor Lineup in 2025 Sees "Fire Range," "Strix Halo," and Signficant AI Performance Increases

    I would want that 40 CU iGPU with 8 (no more, no less) CPU cores w/ SMT. 3D cache would be icing on the cake. 16 cores/32 threads is kind of stupid in this form factor. It's been a while since algebra, but doesn't b and/or c have to be 0?

    Humble Bundle: 100 years of Warner Bros Bundle ($15- Amazing Deal)

    I'll nitpick - this is more like 15 years of WB. Still a killer deal if these games are up your alley.

    AMD drops Vulkan support for Polaris and Vega

    I had somebody ask me why I was so irritated that Vega kept popping up in APUs and mobile chips. This is why. The release of RDNA1 should have been the end of the road for new consumer Vega products in any form.

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    According to TPU's charts, the avg minimum FPS for my 13600K is still above my TV/monitor's 120 Hz refresh. "14th gen" doesn't really have anything to offer me.

    Luke Warm - Sapphire Pulse RX 7700 XT 12GG $429 w/ $20 coupon (Free shipping)

    Lunar Lake test CPU benchmarks show up on SiSoft

    As much as I dread an Intel return to dominance, somebody needs to compete with TSMC. Samsung isn't there yet, but they're working on it. 3 cutting-edge foundry options would be a huge improvement. I have to wonder, though, does anybody see a future where AMD uses Intel foundries to make...

    AMD Could Tease DLSS 3-rivaling FSR 3.0 at GDC 2023

    A new "preview" AMD RX 7000 driver enables FMF in lots more games, including Starfield. And..."In addition to these select titles, AFMF may be manually enabled for any title such as Cyberpunk 2077 using the per-app settings within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. So, basically, you can use AFMF...

    The first few steps were removing their TOS tracking from GitHub, then stealth editing so that developers were no longer grandfathered in to the version existing when they began development.

    Starfield’s Performance on Nvidia’s 4090 and AMD’s 7900 XTX analyzed by Chips and Cheese

    Nick Evanson at Techspot ran some analysis (post #39) showing that Starfield hammers the CPU while streaming lots of assets from storage. My speculation: maybe Nvidia's higher CPU driver overhead is costing performance even at high resolutions. Meaning, Creation is a shit engine and Bethesda...

    You do realize who runs Unity, right? He'd have no qualms running a casino and letting people bet their homes. "Predatory" is their goal.

    New Unity pricing

    Look for existing games to be pulled from distribution before Unity starts charging the dev for installs. "Q: If a user reinstalls/redownloads a game / changes their hardware, will that count as multiple installs? A: Yes. The creator will need to pay for all future installs. The reason is that...
