Maybe I misunderstood their press release about focusing on mobile graphics going forward, but this is excellent news. I look forward to seeing what they can produce in the high end.

it's admirable of the GoG folks to commit to maintaining delisted titles, but that sounds like an "all cost, no revenue" type of proposition, and last I checked GoG was already not doing that amazing as it is...

Ah, yes. Expanding leadership in gaming by dropping out of high end GPU's. That one might just require some explanation.

My 42" LG C3 can already sear my eyeballs. I don't think I need anything brighter. I would welcome greater assurances of no image retention though, and I imagine if these screens can be run at that level of brightness, they must be more resistant to image retention at lower settings.

This right here is why I no longer play multiplayer games. 20 years ago we would call this hacking, and you would get banned.

As I read the headline I realized I had no idea what "hall effect sticks" were, so I clicked to read more. I still haven't figured out what "hall effect sticks" are, because I went on a tangent trying to figure out why a controller would need a cooling plate. OH. It's for mobile gaming...

There have been a few of these lately. Maybe we are finally seeing the end of the "free to play", "micro-transaction" bullshit era.

All of that said, I am not usually a fan of games based on non-game franchises, but I could see myself making an exception to try this one. Maybe down the road, steeply discounted during a Steam sale.

Of course it is always on and can't be disabled. If developers have to spend time during raster "tricks" like shadow mapping, it takes them like 3-4 times more work to design a scene than with RT. I'm surprised every last dev doesn't do this yet. I guess they have to balance it against how...

So, to be fair I only played through the prologue to test performance, but the prologue is quite playable IMHO. I think some of these "unplayable" comments are overblown. The game is in a WAY better state than Cyberpunk was at launch in 2020. (but that maybe doesn't say much)

Maybe it is the concept of avoiding ever using Windows at all that is going to become non-negotiable?

The amusing part is that the only performance comparisons they give us are the GTX 1060, and GTX 1660 Super. Am I really supposed to be impressed by a brand new GPU in late 2024 being compared to mid to low level Nvidia GPU's from 5-10 years ago? Though at $249, maybe that is all we can...

Pretty much guarantees I will never buy one, lol. I remember hearing about this back in February. Apparently the motivation is not to get the Vizio TV/electronics business but rather to get the streaming service. Walmart wants to be a notable player in the streaming world before the industry...

I've been lucky to live near a Microcenter, but I have to admit, I rarely buy any major components there. It's mostly where I go when I am in the middle of a build and need a cable or other adapter I didn't anticipate. When they put in a water cooling section it was amazing. It really helped...

Heh, I tried buying Stalker again on GoG, but that is just refusing to work. I just get a spinning "please wait" notification after I authenticate with paypal. I suspect something is being blocked by my pihole. At first I thought it was paypal domains as I spotted the following in my block...

So, I totally forgot it was Black Friday today, and accidentally went to MicroCenter to get an adapter. That was a mistake. That said, on a positive note, they actually had 9800x3d's in stock when I was there. I briefly considered picking one up for later, but decided against it. I'm not...

Probably. But I also presume they will be way more mature at launch than last gen. Some of the driver maturity and lessons learned will be inherited by this one.

Wait, didn't Intel just announce that they weren't releasing discrete GPU's anymore?

One could convincingly argue that in the Internet age, where everything is always connected, it is a very bad idea to use any software that is not actively maintained, so such software should be considered EOL and unusable unless you are air gapped.

Fair, but it is an "old" design. Ubisoft should get their **** together and update their releases over time to be compatible with the latest OS Revisions. They are starting to sound like Bethesda for crying out loud. That said, there are literally millions of different software programs...
