  1. EU Passes New Legislation That Will Require Mobile Device Manufacturers to Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027

    I had to have a screen replacement for a previous Samsung phone a few years ago and to replace the screen, the entire phone had to be disassembled piece by piece from the back to the front. Every single sub-component had to be disconnected and removed. Current cellphones are specifically...
  2. EU Passes New Legislation That Will Require Mobile Device Manufacturers to Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027

    It was all about profiting on people not buying new batteries and getting a new phone and the absurd markup on making consumers pay them to replace batteries There is no innovation in how poorly designed phones are now to repair much less replace the battery Only there as a roadblock for $$$...
  3. Rumor: Cyberpunk 2077 to Gain NVIDIA Neural Radiance Caching Support for Faster Path Tracing

    From the images it looks like performance may not necessarily increase but quality sure as hell does.
  4. AMD Is Reportedly Skipping the RX 7700 XT in Order to Focus on the RX 7600 as Consumer Demand Shifts toward Lower-Priced Offerings

    I look at motherboard manufacturers and the absurd amount of models they release when there is so much overlap for no reason. If both NVIDIA and AMD don't have at least 7 models on the market by year end I'll be surprised.
  5. AMD Is Reportedly Skipping the RX 7700 XT in Order to Focus on the RX 7600 as Consumer Demand Shifts toward Lower-Priced Offerings

    If the 7600 can perform similar to the 6700XT, they have themselves a great opportunity to steal market share. I'm skeptical it's only going to be a ~15% upgrade though which is DOA.
  6. NVIDIA Shares GeForce RTX 40 Series Benchmarks for Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode: Up to 103.5 FPS with DLSS 3, 22.4 FPS Without at...

    Are you talking about DLSS 3? Specifically in CP2077 they have made leaps and bounds and it (supposedly) looks artifact free with the FG on. It still has issues in some other games but all the UI issues were resolved (again supposedly in CP2077). I'm sure there are people on this forum with...
  7. Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode Brings RTX 4090 to Its Knees with DLSS Off at 16 FPS in 4K

    It's 1080p internally and all video footage was captured using 4k DLSS Performance so what you see is what you get.
  8. Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode Brings RTX 4090 to Its Knees with DLSS Off at 16 FPS in 4K

    I don't understand what you mean by this. Frame Generation generates frames between frames (fake frames) DLSS reconstructs images from lower resolutions using multiple points of information (reconstructed real frames) They can be combined but are separate solutions. NVIDIA really shouldn't...
  9. Cyberpunk 2077’s Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode Brings RTX 4090 to Its Knees with DLSS Off at 16 FPS in 4K

    It's path tracing on a brand new already demanding game. I'm surprised it isn't in the single digits. It is likely pretty close to playable with just DLSS performance mode at 4k.
  10. Naughty Dog Celebrates The Last of Us Part I on PC as Steam Users Claim It’s Just Another Crappy PC Port

    On low/midrange systems it takes 2+ hours for the shaders to compile (that's on an i3 12300) according to a youtuber I watch It's unacceptable
  11. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 Launching in May?

    Some games are requiring more than 8GB of RAM at 1080p with all the eye candy turned on. This will be a massive failure if they release these with only 8GB of VRAM. I guess 4060Ti is a 720p card now for only $499 I'm expecting the 12GB 3060 to outperform some of the 4000 series lineup with...
  12. Diablo IV Players Claim Blizzard’s New Game Is Bricking NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards: “RIP my RTX 3080 Ti”

    In this scenario the framerate ingame was capped and then in a cutscene it would go to likely 1000+ in an instant which can and will either trip OCP and/or kill any card not built to handle the instant increase in load
  13. Diablo IV Players Claim Blizzard’s New Game Is Bricking NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards: “RIP my RTX 3080 Ti”

    The reference 30 series is known to have voltage/transient spike issues. If software exposes this hardware defect that is still on the hardware. Imagine if a CPU randomly spiking to 100% caused the CPU to fail. It wouldn't be on the software. Engine comparison would be if redline is 6000rpm...
  14. NVIDIA GeForce Driver Bug May Cause Abnormally High CPU Usage After Leaving a Game

    NVIDIA said a hotfix would be out tomorrow Hopefully that happens
  15. AMD Criticizes NVIDIA’s Approach to AI for Gaming

    Genuinely baffling that NVIDIA is even in the conversation regarding NPC AI when NVIDIA doesn't make consumer CPUs Intel CPUs have AI acceleration while AMD CPUs do not that I'm aware of So I have no idea what the thought process was here edit:: FSR2 is an inferior solution to DLSS. So...
  16. The Last of Us Part I Firefly Edition (PC) Now Available for Pre-Order ($99.99)

    So for an extra $30 on top an already stupid $70 you get a steel case and a few comics? That seems excessive even for Sony
  17. Ubisoft Signs Deal with Police to Tackle Toxic Gaming

    If a law is being broken this makes sense but I don't see how local jurisdiction would matter unless the game is region-locked. Toxicity is bad and depending on the severity should result in a permanent ban but I don't understand this. Maybe it has to do with swatting and they just didn't want...
  18. GeForce RTX 4090 Owner Sues NVIDIA Over Melted 16-Pin Connector

    Who would be getting investigated, PCI SIG? I don't know where you are getting fed info from but the jump to conclusions mat isn't a good idea
  19. GeForce RTX 4090 Owner Sues NVIDIA Over Melted 16-Pin Connector

    GN cut off all but 2 12V pins and ran it at 600 watts and had no issue A single pin can likely handle 600 watts as per GN (but they did not test) This spec has a lot of safety margin regarding the amount of current it can handle Just needs to be plugged in
  20. NVIDIA Releases GeForce Game Ready 526.86 WHQL Driver for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

    Also take into consideration if you are running W11 and have 22H2 installed there are frame drop issues It may be related Also if you haven't updated, don't :P
