    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    I have no doubt you could achieve similar graphics fidelity with conventional means, but I think the performance hit would be the same if not greater if you tried to match it in detail. And how much more man-hours would you need to put into it? While DLSS5 is basically free as far as dev time...

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    I only tried it on 4 games so far. BeamNG: This impressed me the most, it almost makes this game seem photoreal. The paint on the cars, the plastic tail lights, look almost real. But the environment gets the biggest uplift especially on dense vegetation. The color of the lighting feels more...

    A Real Talk Discussion about DLSS 5: 3 Good Things, 5 Bad Things, and 4 Questions For You

    I think to use NBA2K27 as the premier game for the tech is about as bad of a choice as it could be. The only worse choice would've been to put it in fortnite or minecraft first. To be blunt NBA2K27 doesn't look impressive to me at all with DLSS5, maybe they choose it because of the limited...

    Probably Bound to Happen: Increased Power Draw for DLSS 5 Reportedly Claims Its First Victim After a User Finds an RTX 5090 with a Melted Power Ada...

    It's like it was designed to fail. If they simply rewrote the specifications for PCIEX connector to handle the same power I think we'd see zero issues. All because nvidia wanted a sleek connector on their FE card. At the least they should not have mandated partners to use this crap.

    Noctua Tested Over 100 PC Cases and Found More Than Half Had Wrong Cooler Clearance Specs

    Someone should check their video card length clearance too. I bet there are some discrepancies there too.

    Hardware Unboxed Becomes the Latest Reviewer to Witness an RTX 5090 Cable Meltdown on the Testbench

    800 for just the GPU? My entire pc draws 400W under load.

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    This is a filter that is applied after the regular rendering passes, meaning you can't do it prior to rendering the scene. It is applied to a whole scene not just assets. Oh, but it does, create something from nothing. It detects a human face it tries to hallucinate a photoreal version of it...

    Sony Stands Its Ground That Customers Do Not Own Digital Games; They Are Just Purchasing a License to Use Them

    If you can't sell it, you don't own it. With digital games you pay for a lifetime subscription . Where lifetime means "While we support it" And this applies to Steam as well, the difference is that we generally trust steam not to start removing games from your library, while with sony the only...

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    Honestly this looked like LA Noire to me, straight from the uncanny valley. Some of the other games modders unofficially enabled it on look far better to me.

    DLSS 5 Makes Its Official Debut on September 3rd in NBA 2K27, Bringing 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to Games

    "to say that DLSS 5 brings photorealistic image quality to the game could be a major understatement" Surely you mean overstatement, right?

    Sony Stands Its Ground That Customers Do Not Own Digital Games; They Are Just Purchasing a License to Use Them

    But you do not even own the license since they reserve the right to revoke it at any time without reason.

    Where Can I Find a European BIOS for AetherSX2?

    The only way to obtain a bios legally would be dumping it from your own legally owned PS2, and even that's a grey area since they might say you're circumventing "digital locks" by downloading its bios. Which according to the DMCA may be fined up to $500,000 and imprisonment for up to five years...
