    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Man my Walmart got rid of their 5070Tis and just has 5080s in stock now for $1200... rough times ahead. 5070Ti was the best value card this gen IMO, besides a lower tier 5060Ti maybe. 5070 is a bit of an awkward duckling with 12GB VRAM.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    1. Is your video game activity constantly on your mind? Here are a few examples: Do you find yourself thinking about past video game sessions or looking forward to your next chance to play? Do you feel that video games have become your most important or dominant activity in your daily life...

    Controllers?

    Yeah.... this is my fear... I've seen in other threads and sites people tell me it is unwarranted as there are third party games that use the features and it is 0 cost for them to simply enable it on PC if the game releases on PS5 anyway but I don't buy it. I think we will see less support...

    Steam Deck Price Hike. top model now $949

    I already thought the steam deck was overpriced a couple years ago, this is just insane now. On the bright side, games will have to optimize for older hardware, so if you already have one or have a PC built then you are good. This really only sucks for new people getting into the hobby now.

    Windows 11 Task Bar officially moveable

    I'll never understand putting the start menu centered. The start button literally moved around as you get more windows, and you no longer have that reflex of tossing your cursor to the "infinite" area in the corner to hit the button. It is so so bad man, first thing I change everytime I touch...

    HELLDIVERS II

    Finally man, been asking for this since day 1. Gifted my brother my laptop recently and told him to try out helldivers but it is unplayable on it. Used to get ~40FPS on it, now it just gets like 30-20 FPS. DLSS will make it playable again. Thank goodness for Nixxes fixing up the game for us

    Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC

    Bummer, I bought many Sony games on PC last year. I don't mind being late to the party, as now I can enjoy the game at top tier graphic settings, but I guess other people want in on the hype when it first comes out leading to poor sales on PC... Love the DualSense controller and Sony games made...

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance

    Man can't believe I missed out on this game for so long. Had it free on epic, started playing it last week, immediately fell in love with it. Bought the royal edition on Steam (I typically treat Epic free games as demos at this point and if I like it I buy it on Steam). Lock on mechanics of...

    MARATHON (Bungie)

    Sucks but not surpised. I think Marathon did the whole extraction shooter concept really well, even better than ARC I'd say (ARC community is weirdly passive, not really an extraction shooter at that point, its a wannabe helldivers) Extraction shooters are super niche though. I don't know why...

    Chrome silently downloads 4GB AI model on your PC

    Looked more into this- it is literally baked into an ASIC. Llama 3.1 8B with the weights in the hardware. No wonder is it so fast haha. Was wondering if that sort of thing would take off, or baking in neural networks onto FPGAs. https://taalas.com/the-path-to-ubiquitous-ai/ Also means those...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    Was talking to my coworker and he was telling me GPUs used to be outdated within months. I don't know how people did it back in the day, I get so much buyers remorse already. Progress was so fast back in the day. Is the 6000 series really going to be that big of a jump? 4000 and 5000 didn't...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    I know this has been stated multiple times in this thread already, but I also bet that they will do the same thing. PC will be last, and it won't be until after they got it on the PS6 and whatever project Helix is. I think console players are better cash cows for them, it is too easy to mod on...

    Yes, exactly, a 4GB local model is tiny compared to other things we do. The comment is aimed at other communities and articles. People acting like Google is lighting jungles on fire with a 4GB local model. "Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a...

    Chrome silently downloads 4GB AI model on your PC

    Saw threads on reddit about this, people fearmongering over how it is destroying the climate. Insane takes from people who play video games as a hobby. Anyway, I don't think its that big a deal. If anything I think we should be more welcoming of local AI and pushing for it instead of doing...

    Controllers?

    Agreed, I really liked Linus' video over this. Went over most of the things I was concerned/curious about. Really not a fan of how it looks like it will feel or the triggers. Hoping I get a chance to hold one in person, otherwise I'm not buying Controller body looks rough, triggers look rough...

    Steam Controller

    Third party controllers can be cheaper AND use better components (HE sticks on 8bitdos). I see 0 reason to buy a first party Xbox controller. Hell the 8bitdo even comes with a dongle, pretty sure that is a separate purchase for Xbox Actually I guess the xbox controller has trigger rumble. Okay...

    Steam Controller

    Looks alright. Yeah it is expensive but this is very much like a player 1 type controller, you won't bust out 8 of these for a couch gaming party. Disappointed about what I've been hearing about the triggers on this thing. Think I'll stick to my DualSense, but I'll give it a try. I'm really...

    Apple intros MacBook Neo: $599 with an iPhone chip

    I mean I've been recommending macbooks over windows laptops ever since M2 at this point (was a bit wary of M1, turned out good though). Not surprised, Windows and x86 has been snoozing for years. I did not expect the low price point of the Neo though. Seriously what a great machine for students.

    RTX 5070 Ti Reviews + Discussion

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI9BZaiVPbg These are finally coming out. 5070 and 5080 are available on Amazon it seems. No 5070Ti yet, but apparently it is coming soon. Too bad I'm out of my return window for my 5070Ti now, would have loved to swap it out for one of these.

    Claude Code's Source Code Leaks Via npm Source Maps

    Yeah I had a year of free gemini from the deal for university students and I recently tried Claude, man Claude is just so much better. On the other hand though, I immediately run out of tokens on Claude within like an hour. I rarely run out on Gemini.

    NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation and 6x Mode Officially Arrive

    It may not make sense but I wish partial multipliers were a thing. If I can run a game at 100 FPS I'd love to use frame gen to hit the last 20 FPS to hit my cap of 120Hz, instead of dropping my real FPS to 60FPS to double it to 120 FPS and give me way more latency in the process. But yeah it...

    Controllers?

    See at that point I don't see why people don't get the knock off controllers, like the $20 8bitdo 2C even has hall effect joy sticks. The xbox controller doesn't have anything special going on, so why is it the go-to for so many people? It is the controller where the knock offs are usually...

    Controllers?

    I've been lucky and haven't encountered any stick drift on my controllers, but it is an issue for sure. I'd love to spend more money on a premium controller but they all lose features compared to the DualSense, and Sony's offering is a joke. $20 replaceable joy stick modules? Actually disgusting...

    Controllers?

    You're playing God of War? I am seriously stunned that nobody recommended a DualSense (Playstation) controller.

    Google's TurboQuant AI algorithm could slash memory usage by 6X

    DLSS 5 - Generative AI

    Fake frames: An uncomfortable truth about DLSS 5

    DLSS 5 - Generative AI

    Yeah that is my main concern, how will this affect different art styles? For typical AAA photo-realism slop this will actually be fantastic most of the time IMO. I don't see it working well for other types of games though, or being detrimental and homogenizing how games look. Although I wonder...
