It looks like a variation of the Logitech G502 Hero, which is a great mouse, I just personally hate the Razer software.
KB&M all day, but for the titles out there where a controller feels better, while I like my Logitech the PS5 controller is much nicer.
According to Linus he thinks a 3700X with a 6600XT is the equivalent to the PS5. Which is $60 more if you buy in AmericaLand, but on Aliexpress it's the same price as the 6600. Not everyone wants to wait for shipping from China and deal with Chinese brands like JIESHUO, so I thought a 6600 would do. Linus used a A770 which is a nice card but I can't find it for $200 like he did. Not even used on Ebay can I find an Intel A770 for less than $250, let alone $200. As for performance I could always point at the Gamers Nexus video where it doesn't perform as well as you think against a PC.
Yea, I don't believe in magic, but I know you do. Point to where you see this aspect the PS5 has that the PC can't reproduce?
A problem that nobody will realistically notice.
You still play Blu-Ray movies in 2024? If that PC can't somehow play those movies if it was given a Blu-Ray drive then piracy can fix that. That PC is more than capable of playing movies.
Here's a motherboard with the same cost but with Wifi Built in. It's a Micro-ATX instead of a full ATX that I prefer. You want a B550 that supports PCI-E 4.0 then here's another motherboard for the same price, but it only has 2 ram slots. If you want both then this Gigabyte costs $10 more. You could just add a Wifi card for $23. These are not real issues and can be solved by just looking harder.
If you don't have money and things are tight then get to learning. You can't hide behind incompetence forever.
As a WoW player who pays $15 a month I don't subscribe for the cheaper yearly fee because I hope to not play this game for a year. Doesn't always work out that way, and I do end up paying that $15 per month instead of the $155 yearly fee. This is why monthly fees suck.
I haven't dealt with Blu-Ray in a long time but when the hell did they need this much bullshit to play a movie? Most people don't use Blu-Ray for movie watching in 2024 and for good reasons. The thing that needs to be understood is that if you have money and you have a Blu-Ray collection then a powerful PC is probably what you'd want anyway. You'd most likely have a dedicated Blu-Ray player for this purpose. The PS5 is mainly for budget oriented people, with the PS5 Pro aiming towards those with more disposable income. I'm guessing maybe $650 or $700 for the PS5 Pro, because Sony seems to be into raising prices? When Sony released the PS4 Pro which is based around the RX 480, but AMD also released the RX 480. I'm thinking that the same thing might happen again with AMD releasing a new RDNA4 mid range GPU that will find it's way into the PS5 Pro. The original PS4 Pro released for $400, just like the original price of the PS4. Sony should just do the same thing for the PS5 Pro and make it the new $500 console. Things like Blu-Ray UHD 4K support are just people trying to grasp for justification of paying $500 for a over 3 year old console. Which as a reminder is equivalent to a mid to high end PC from 5 years before the release of the PS5. Tech Jesus said it.
There are no specific hardware requirements for standard Blu-ray. I have a WinDVD Pro license and a 16-year old BD/HD-DVD drive that still gets it done.
I have a standalone UHD Blu-ray player. I bought the consoles with disc drives primarily for backward compatibility purposes. But there are people who buy them to also play movies.
Does that license expire and/or have to be renewed ?
It's a lifetime license.
Sometimes when you watch latest blu-ray discs, it asks for refreshing keys, and the new keys available only with latest version of the software (I had free power DVD that came with the drive) which has to be repurchased. It made me feel like blu-ray is a scam.
More or less the same as DRM for games, the customer gets the short end of it. Better off ripping the discs or with on the fly decryption.
That will be less beneficial to Sony than Sony would believe. The AAA gaming industry is going through a sorta E.T. moment with all the layoffs and me thinks it's because of the universal choice to go $70. Most if not all of the best games of 2023 weren't $70. Tears of the Kingdom was a $70 game, but you could easily find the game for $60 new. Nintendo is so upset from the unexpected lack of sales from TOTK that Nintendo is now suing the Yuzu Switch emulator guys. Sony themselves shut down an entire studio in London. The biggest games of 2024 are PalWorld and HellDivers 2, which are again not even $60 let alone $70. The disc drive is the only way a Playstation 5 owner can hope to get discounted games, which are now standard $70. Take that away and you'll have to pay whatever Sony is asking for on their store. Unless Sony plans to allow other stores to sell games on the PS5, then I see the PS5 Pro as the last successful Sony game console.
Here's the MLID video:
20.28 million by the end of 2023.
It was a very vague statement by AMD
It they add a 300 Tops of 8 bits computation to it, it is a complete different class than a 7900xtx in that regards, it is almost 3xtime the 8bits inference power (if they did not had that accelerate and used FP16 for them and if I am not saying something stupid which is possible), it would even be a little bit stronger than a Lovelace 4060.
Yes previously they topped out at 4.
AMD in their most recent papers talk about building the BVH trees inside the infinity cache to offset the bottlenecks the RDNA architecture imposes. The consoles currently do not have an infinity cache.It was a very vague statement by AMD
At bare minimum whatever Sony does should be possibly in RDNA 4
& since RDNA 4 is only a slight optimization of RDNA 3, it should be possible to backport it to RDNA 3
So an AI enabled FSR 4 by end of this year that works on all RDNA 3 GPUs
The PS3 had an 802.11g Wi-Fi NIC built-in as well, and that was in 2006.
publicly
Tons of motherboards don't have wifi. And it's usually not included in the bottom barrel options people scrape together when they offer a PC spec, for PS5 price. See: a couple of posts on page 2. Or other threads on the topic.
An 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 6) USB NIC goes for like $10 USD, I don't see what the big deal is?
needs to be wifi 6 AX, and have bluetooth, as well.
