Yeah, that's what logic would lead you to believe... and then reality hits hard. ;) :D :p

come on, you know that IT guys rely on google and forums to do most of their work right? we just get paid to do it. :p ;) ;)

Actually, polygon count is the least of the problems, GPUs have polygon crunching power to spare (and have for several generations now). Its shaders, textures and more recently RT which take the cake. Do you remember when Anisotropic filtering and AA brought gpus to its knees?

This is nothing new, every now and then we get a Tech Demo, and everyone goes crazy expecting it to become a real game. That never happens, at least not with all the bells and whistles. I recall multiple times when "console games" were actually running on ultra high end PCs, at least they are...

Actually, I am part or IT t's happening again and I have the latest drivers. Since it has happened on the 3 laptops of the same brand/model, I'll do some digging, maybe its a common problem. I'll talk to my boss and let him decide if we send them to HP

hell no, integrated graphics, intel Iris Xe I think

So, about early january my work laptop started having screen flickering/flashing. Much more noticeable when watching videos fullscreen, it occured randomly, it may run for hours and suddenly the issue appeared. It would show severe tearing, and a garbled screen or just displaying part of the...

Yeah, like streaming killed the movie business... No wait...

I see it differently, I really hope it helps bring the cost of game development down, it's getting ridiculous. If only it went to the working people, the devs, the artists, the testers. But no, these guys get payed peanuts while marketing/management gets the big slice of the cake.

Who would have known that after all the years of SteamOS failures it would come back from the dead on a handheld. MS better release a "Windows Gaming" or Xbox OS for PC version or something like that. Steam is ready to go for the desktop market yet again.

I think MS should licence the xbox brand to handhelds manufacturers, at least initially. Then go with "desktop" consoles. no need for the xbox handhelds to run native xbox games, just pc game pass games and xbox cloud, they could even throw steam games while you are at it.

I have my doubts about it being an actual Xbox handheld and think it will probably be an xbox cloud/pc gamepass portable.

So, my son's PC didn't boot, I had to re-seat the video card. I was really tempted to go ahead and do the upgrade, but managed to refrain ;) ;)

BTW I bought the parts to upgrade my son's PC for his birthday on July 3rd. It's a surprise so he doesn't know. Well unless he receives the package. I was planning to fake a pc problem on july 2nd and "fix it" so it would be ready for the next day. My son is not computer savvy, so I may be...

I forgot to update, it got solved with a later windows update.

The deal on the 5700X is OFF I ended up getting the 5700X3d plus an AIO cooler for a little under $285 (awesome price here), plus I will pay it in 18 months no interest, should be getting here in a couple of days.

So apparently there's a HOT SALE next week, hopefully something better comes out

Thing is I'm already making big gains from where I am now, I think I can spare an extra 20% or so performance.

I agree that the 5700X3d is way better than the 5700X, but paying close to twice as much? not sure about that. To make matters worse I'm getting a great deal on the 5700X, which only makes the price difference bigger. To put it into perspective it's like getting the 5700X for a little over...

While I won't says subscriptions are a blessing, they are pretty good IMO, particularly gamepass. We get to choose from hundreds of games for a price lower than a single game. The best thing is I don't even have to pay every month. My kid gets hooked on a steam or Epic game? No gamepass for a...
