At the start it is in edition mode, which uses raw everything, i don't know the specifics but you gotta look up how to tell it to "build" the demo with nanite, you know that it worked because it will create a 25GB package with everything much less stressful on system resources.
I was mocked because i pointed out that PC was going to require higher ram, which it did, still this is for edition with RAW assets; if one builds the demo it compresses all the way to 25GB which is still hefty but more manageable, also the RAM requirement shrinks; this has only been possible...
The demo is out on pc,
"Valley of the Ancient is a separate download of around 100 GB. If you want to run the full demo, the minimum system requirements are an NVIDIA GTX 1080 or AMD RX Vega 64 graphics card or higher, with 8 GB of VRAM and 32 GB of system RAM. For 30 FPS, we recommend a 12-core...
Launch aligned the demand was an order of magnitude smaller.
Heck in 12h of pre-orders they got more incoming (pre-orders) than the first 12 weeks of the ps4 pre-order, and the ps4 was their old record setter.
Lets face it, covid forcing people to be at home has been an insane boom for...
Slurs are slurs, learn to taunt without profanity.

Seems that reading is hard. The update says that OTHERS can record you, WHICH IS NORMAL WHEN SPEAKING IN PUBLIC which is basically what you are doing. It also says that if someone else records you and sends it to Sony they can indeed analyze the recording and take appropriate actions.

I'm a Venezuelan, the Guri was not hit with cyber attacks, the system isn't advanced enough for that, it was hit with 0 maintenance for close to a decade + lack of properly trained staff (and the few that were trained and warned have been ignored systematically).

BTW guys, resetera found this paper about cache scrubbers functionality on a cpu, to get an idea of what it could bring in this case for the gpu:

You are actually watching 343i ineptitude. Nothing there was running on XSX, nothing shown so far from Microsoft has been running on the console after 2 game shows and Phil Spencer bragging about his XSX being working at home since December 2019, unlike Sony whose only game show only showed...
Designing a chip takes a lot of time, the rdna2 design was over quite a bit prior rdna1 shipping, after the design was done AMD sent two different groups of engineers to Sony and Microsoft, they couldn't be in touch with each other to ensure that industrial secrets of each company stayed that...
SF is on Turing and RDNA2, it is the smarter cousin of prt in the sense that you add a buffer that tracks the texture resident in memory, was it used or not, what level of mip was it, was it the level you wanted or not?

This is a somber take on this ai accelerator. It is basically only for ml training, can't do much of anything else.
Fb had just recommended me to follow him when I saw this. Damn, agreed that this has been a shitty year. And this week, this effing week extra crappy :(
If it could be possible yes that would be nice, but the thing is higher performance cores are inherently bigger /more complex to really achieve their goals(mainly prediction and cache iirc) and thus even throttling them harshly you are still "wasting" energy on the extra complexity/die area...
So, BIG.little 3d stacked. Yeap this is a proven solution for mobile /low power devices, it should work.
Edit : and right after saying that it should work I see the way they set it up and yeah it should but it won't. I guess that side by side is not going away for BIG.little

And he hasn't bothered to read all the developers giving testimonial that it actually is a big deal, or the video of Linus Sebastian admitting that he was wrong about the i/o stack.
The poster is full on ignorant about how things work on a regular pc, how slow they are due to how much...
The real problem that PC will face is in the driver stack and the associated route that data needs to follow in comparison to a console, that's what requires you to have bigger buffers and bigger raw bandwidth since the latency is much bigger, even on Linux (again, for anyone that cares go watch...
Well of course that it's slower than current ram, so you still have a slight buffer, but the size of the buffer is orders of magnitude smaller than with hdd.
As for the compression, of course that's why both have it, for the efficiency. About the possibility, most things should be possible as...
The benefits of the lowered latency between asking for the data and actually getting it in ram ready to use is that your buffers can now be all that much smaller, this gives you a bigger effective amount of ram, you don't have to preload the data of the next 2 blocks in a city in every hexagon...
Sony bought a general license for the new oodle texture for both ps4 and ps5 platforms, what this means is that games being developed for them have now a standard free to use RDO texture program that helps achieve maximum compression of textures with BC1-7 compression with minimal to no...
I'm pretty sure that the posters here are waaaaaay better engineers than Cerny, Sweeney, the whole Microsoft team and literally every developer that has actually talked about the subject of the importance of SSD'S for future game development, but they are humble and that's the only reason why...
Ask a native mandarin speaker to translate that interview for you, it has been said long enough and was discussed on Twitter including Tim Sweeney himself, all those articles come from a mis translation. You can go to beyond 3d forums or resetera if you search properly enough you will find the...
"maybe" that nvme may need a bit more than 7 GB/s if it's something specifically like Spiderman miles Morales, Horizon 2 or some possible ratchet & clank pc port. 90%+ of games won't require that.

Only the initial lumen test, with no say of resolution and you forget that locked XX fps means that it has to run much faster than the lock framerate.
The streaming proportion past the lumen test is explicitly not talked about how it runs. So nothing debunked specially when the camera cuts...
It's funny r reading the ignorant PCMR dude argue that it's just a ssd even after Linus Sebastian had to backtrack those same lines when he was reminded all the hell he had to go through when setting up his server in order to actually deliver the throughput he thought he had installed. Changed...
To those in denial that extreme overclocking that isn't even stable enough for tests is a thing of the past just look again at the poll. Yes this is hardforum.com but that is not useful in reality and even us tech fans are getting apathetic to the whole circus act. Like others said, what will be...
That translation is inaccurate at best, LUMEN runs at 40fps the rest of the demo doesn't.

The Epic guy is saying the first scene(Lumen) can run at 40fps on his notebook, not the whole demo.

Yeah, Tim Sweeney has been under PCMR attacks on Twitter and had to explain that current ssd speeds on pc are theoretical and only up to a certain point, then they need to pass through software decompression, the hardware stack is less direct to system memory /video memory and the associated...

That's not true unless he wants lesser quality, epic here used their own special sauce up sampler algorithm based on temporal data and if you read or watch the digital foundry video you will see that it "defies pixel counting efforts" even when looking at actual raw PNG files of the 4k output...

Uh they weren't unnoticed, I remember as a kid using them, they were shared on the Latin American "Club Nintendo" magazine, I don't remember if shared by staff or readers tho, way too long ago for me to remember. I still mostly sucked in the end but I was thankful for those tells :p :)
