  1. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Which begs the question, what the hell is resulting in this title being so insanely CPU heavy? Playing at 4k, I'm used to always being GPU limited, never being CPU limited. This has given my CPU's long lifespans. I had read that UE5 was better at multithreading, and maybe that is why we...
  2. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Some additional testing. Last night I: 1.) Upgraded my Nvidia drivers 2.) Switched the threaderipper to "Game mode" with SMT disabled, and "legacy" something (not sure what that does) 3.) Enabled PBO. The result is a significant improvement. I'm pretty sure most of that is due to the driver...
  3. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Sorry, maybe I am being slow today, but I can't place "DF", would tyou mind de-abbreviating for me? :p That may be true, but it still looks very pretty. I'm guessng that may be a side effect of moving to UE5, and having to abide by what UE5 can easily do? Indeed. That is how it works...
  4. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    I did some testing of the game last night. While it looks absolutely gorgeous, I was about to give the experience a pretty harsh review, but then I remembered that I hadn't upgraded my Nvidia drivers. Last time I upgraded them was probably to play Starfield. So, take everything...
  5. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Well, **** I bought it on Steam out of habit. Maybe I'll just return it and buy it on GoG...
  6. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Yeah, I was going to wait to buy until it is fixed, but I think this might be one of those rare exceptions where I am willing to just go ahead and buy it, because these people have really put in a heroic effort during very trying times in their country. Would be interesting - considering the...
  7. Turtle Beach Unveils Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick with Hot-Swappable Cherry MX Speed Silver RGB Switches, Removable Aluminum Top Plate, and...

    At this point I haven't played a fighting game since One Must Fall 2097 in DOS on my 486sx25 in 1994. I vaguely remember seeing the demo for Clay Fighters 2 on the SNES and thinking it looked like fun, but that was probably the last time I gave the genre as a whole any thought at all.
  8. Turtle Beach Unveils Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick with Hot-Swappable Cherry MX Speed Silver RGB Switches, Removable Aluminum Top Plate, and...

    Yeah. My brain kept auto-correcting this to "flight stick" as I was reading it, and I was getting really confused, until they started talking about fighting games. A joyless joystick :p
  9. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007) and Call of Pripyat (2009) Have Been Added to GOG’s Game Preservation Program

    They are good games if you haven't played them yet. To convert them from a semi-open world, to a complete open world experience that combines all three original games, look for the "lost alpha" mod. It brings in some areas that were cut in alpha, and combines all three games and makes it even...
  10. Steam Controller 2 Mockup Surfaces Online, Showing Symmetrical Thumbsticks, New Trackpads, and Other Improvements

    I bought two of the old ones for like $5 during the fire sale when they were being discontinued. That was YEARS ago, and I still haven't opened them :p
  11. Gabe Newell Says He Was Attacked by a Shark Recently, But He Wasn’t Really Scared: “I’m Kind of a Weird Person”

    I got kind of up there in my marriage to my ex-wife, but when we split up I found I had more time on my hands and could make time for working out at the gym, taking walks and eating right. I lost like 85lb in 2011-2012 as a result. At 6'3" I went from like 280lb down to ~195, was benching...
  12. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    I also found it annoying that they were not consistent. Quality mode + DLSS3 frame gen fro 1080p and 1440p, but only Performance mode 9 DLSS3 fame gen in 4k. Might just have to wait for next gen RTX 5000 series to play this adequately at 4k. In some of these tests it almost looks like it is...
  13. Intel Doesn’t Think the Gaming Market Is Big Enough to Justify a Core CPU with 3D V-Cache: “Comes with Trade-Offs, Certain Disadvantages, or Co...

    I don't think "big enough" is the problem. The PC gaming market has never been bigger than it is today. We are in an absolute PC gaming renaissance. (or at least were during the pandemic, the market has retracted a little since then as many upgraded at the same time, and now are waiting for...
  14. MRDIMM: New Ultrafast DDR5 Memory Boosts Intel Data Center Chips, Doubling Memory Bandwidth of Standard DRAM Modules

    I - for one - hope they pronounce this "Mister Dimm" I am all for new technology, but I am 100% against new standards that are proprietary. Hardware like memory should be universally compatible across all platforms in the industry from all vendors. This kind of fragmentation hurts customers...
  15. NVIDIA H200 NVL GPU Delivers 141 GB of HBM3e Memory and up to 3,341 TFLOPS of Performance in a PCIe Form Factor

    Sweet. Nice to rub in our faces what is taking away consumer parts availability from us, and making consumer computing stagnate. **** Enterprise compute, **** AI, **** cloud, **** big data. "We are no longer a graphics company" indeed.
  16. Sony Is Reportedly in Talks to Acquire the Parent Company of Edlen Ring Developer FromSoftware

    Typo "Edlen ring" in title. This is probably fallout from that whole $400M "Concord" fiasco. Concord was pretty much supposed to be the future of Sony's gaming, with spinoffs, communities, etc. etc. everywhere. And when it bombed and was canceled, I guess they figured they would have to...
