I recall doing raytracing on the Amiga, even the simplest scene would take days to render at 320x200 and don't even get me started on 640x480 ultra high res... :LOL: :LOL:

IIRC both nvidia and intel were working on Raytracing cards and Intel's Larrabee was first; but it never made it to market. I recall there were a couple of RT demos on it. nvidia also had a RT demo that ran on pascal but at seconds per frame instead of frames per second :rolleyes: :rolleyes...

Well, apparently the N1X has the equivalent of a RTX5070 (mobile?) so it's got the horsepower, if that's the case, I can see it beating strix halo easily.

Actually, it was intel who tried bringing Raytracing for gaming first with Larrabee.

I've tried too many times jumping to linux, but I always go back. I'm just too deep into MS infrastructure. years ago, back when nvidia linux drivers rocked and AMD sucked, I did a 30day challenge installing ubuntu (back when ubuntu was cool) on my main rig. It wasn't a bad experience, but I...

I no longer do multiplayer games, don't have the time. and good single player games are a dime a dozen

WoA From what I know, the CPU translation with WoA is actually not bad, it's the DirectX translation that is poor, apparently because Qualcomm drivers suck. If nvidia manages to release good drivers, who knows... it just might do. I don't expect them to be affordable at all.

If anyone can make ARM pc gaming a reality it's nvidia, thing is they already failed twice. 3rd time the charm?

The thing I hate about DLSS and more so FrameGen, is that it's pretty much required even with a RTX5090 in plenty of games if you want to play at 4K at high frame rates.

I recall many "experts" claimed nvidia would not recover from such a blow. A little while later it became a trillion dollar company :rolleyes: :LOL:

You mean an even more expensive Game Pass. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Intel comes to the rescue...NOT :LOL: ;)

nvidia already makes even more money from their professional line.

I have my doubts too, it's not like they need a new flagship GPU. Wouldn't be the first time they up themselves though.

What? I've already sold half my liver, a kidney and now my soul? :rolleyes: :LOL:
