I do agree that the production costs for games has went up astronomically. I do not agree that the price needs to just because of that. I would contend that price should correspond to value, and that production cost does not equate to value. Sucks if a distributor throws a ton of money...

Whelp, I guess I have to say - I agree that physical media looks/sounds better than streamed. And I will miss it when it's gone. But, if I look back, having purchased all of four 4K BD titles in my life - yeah, I can see why it's dead.

You know a lot of people here are gonna pay that though...

It's a very Japanese thing. Look at a lot of Japanese titles - games and anime... You either just accept it, or realize it's not your bag and walk on by. Here's a good example, courtesy Google, from an Anime that was discussed in the TV thread recently: Ghost in the Shell Watch Order The...

Wasn't nVidia's margin part of what put evga out of the GPU business? They were pretty healthy from what I recall on the gamer/consumer products, and I imagine even better on the commercial products. I'm sure there's a good bit of overhead and R&D costs in there that aren't insignificant. But...

Really mostly interested to see if they go back to nVidia for this and what specs get put on the SOC. Nintendo has never been a hardware performance chasing outfit, just want to get a peek under the hood at what nVidia is cooking up because I know they are wanting to bring more ARM SOCs out to...

Just like all the new cars that pump in V8 engine noise. If the car sounds better, it must go faster, right?

Where's that Obi Wan meme when you need it?

Funny, my Ratzpad never had an issue with moisture. I never could stand those fabric mousepads, they always got disgusting after a bit. Kinda like the Logitech rubber coating.

I can't wait until we have a new metric called "perceived performance" Or a "Rendered vs Generated Frame Ratio" Not sure what marketing would spin it as, but for the rest of us, it would be real frames vs fake frames.

So, looking at this - the foot kinda struck me as odd. Not used to seeing a fully elevated case like this (maybe there are others, idk, but this is the first I've seen). Also those lower side-mounted USB slots, rather than being on top of the case. The more I look at it, the more it grows on me.

You have a good point, surprised we haven't seen more reversable designs, or at least some left-handed cases.

I mean, when we say GTA is a thing... https://www.radiotimes.com/technology/gaming/gta-5-sales-numbers-revenue/ It's not the top-grossing IP of all time, but it's got enough sales to definitely raise some eyebrows. It's beating out (vis a vis revenue) some pretty big names, like Lord of the...

So he removed the headphone jack from Avatar too?

This is the revised, non-melty version of the older firey one? Not some new new connector, right?

I don't really care about GTA but this is still interesting. If any game could get away with a $100 sticker price, it would be GTA. There are plenty of folks that will buy it just because it's another GTA game, and there hasn't been a new release in 12 years. And everyone will cry that it's...

AI all the things. 4,000 nits is ... blinding.

Not sure if the other GPUs would suffer similarly. I don't recall from previous testing if they do - or at least, I bet that testing hasn't been re-run with a 9800x3D to see if they get an uplift. Not advocating that anyone does that... but if you are looking at spending around $200 on a GPU -...

I would guess, since we are using random percentages from invested sources, that over 70% of players on GeForce RTX GPUs just roll with whatever settings the game defaults to, or whatever GeForce Experience/GeForce App sets for them, and don't make any adjustments -- and that they wouldn't know...

PC is a bit different than porting God of War to Xbox Console though. Microsoft doesn't get a cut via console licensing by going to PC. They get a healthy cut going to Xbox console. I guess you could try to say that Microsoft gets the Windows license sale.. but they don't get that for each and...
