That would be very nice too. I already do a decent amount of 16:9 5K gaming (5120x2880), using nVidia DSR to downscale 5K to 1440p. I use 5K because DSR works best with a 4x scale factor, and with DSR Smoothness set to 0. Since my monitor is 1440p, 4x scale factor means 5K (as 4K is for 1080p)...

Same. It had been a goal of mine since the late 2000s to eventually move to that resolution. But when the time finally came, 1440p was the only real option I had. It was at my last office job in the late 2000s (software QA) where I fell in love with 16:10 monitors. We had a big-@ss range of 'em...

So isn't that 2560x1600 then? I love 16:10 sooooo much. I greatly miss it. I want a really nice gaming-grade HRR VRR monitor that is 16:10.

Yeah, but no one bothers to use the incorrect numbers anymore. I recall what you are talking about though. I believe FF4 was known as FF2 outside of Japan, and FF6 was known as FF3. There may have been others. So thanks localizers, that sh1t wasn't confusing at all. FF7 is when they started...

I was beating that drum for many years. I wanted one more than a new UT. But then Epic started turning into the Epic we know now, and then I was glad they didn't attempt another single-player Unreal. Cuz then they couldn't ruin it. But it still rubs me the wrong way that the engine series...

And two of them (FF11 and FF14 I think) are MMOs. Talk about random.

My friend had a complete collection, but lost most to water damage. Hearing that story hit like a tackle from Terrible Terry Tate.

Except I don't think it works like that. During gaming, the cores on the CCD that does NOT have the 3D cache get parked.

I don't care for this IP (or the company), I don't play these games, but I understand how the series is set up. Each game with a roman numeral is standalone. They don't have anything to do with the other ones. They are not sequels to each other, they are not even related to each other. So FF7...

Makes sense, cuz each CCD only has 6 active cores on the 12-core parts. So basically that's a 6-core X3D against an 8-core X3D.

I've done the same with some shows/series I own on DVD. I like having the discs, but for actually watching, I just load up the DVD rips. Convenient to have all the episodes together on a hard drive. I don't have to swap discs after a few episodes. Not to mention the loading is much faster. When...

Not me. Can't stand streaming. When it comes to movies I always do BD rips. I would actually buy BDs if they had more affordable prices (I do own a few, usually bought at deep discount). I have a BD burner but have never burned a disc. There's no need for it. Not in this age of super-large...

id Software talks about the game here: So looks like the focus this time is on power over acrobatics. Hugo Martin said in Doom Eternal you were a fighter jet, but in this game game you're an iron tank. A balance between enemy projectiles and player movement that hearkens back to Doom 1 and 2...

Do they just mean blank blu-rays? Or will all BDs stop being manufactured, including the ones that movies and games come on from the factories? I had NO IDEA that MiniDisc was still being made! Way back in the late 90s I used a MiniDisc walkman/recorder. I still have a lot of unopened discs...

From an article a friend shared me with back in November (https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/pc-cases/retro-beige-pc-case-goes-from-april-fools-joke-to-retail-silverstones-sleeper-pc-with-modern-internals-ships-in-q1-2025): "...the front has a couple of faux 5.25-inch floppy drives to...

I can't believe Ted Price is retiring, woooooooooooooooooooow!!! I seem to recall that at one time his company kept getting on the list of best game dev companies to work at year after year. I'm not sure if there is a game developer who treated their employees better than he did, minimized...

The Switch couldn't match the 8th-gen consoles (PS4 and XB1), but it was at least more powerful than the 7th-gen ones (Xbox 360 and PS3, and I count Wii U although technically it's an 8th-gen console). I know Switch 2 won't match up to PS5 and XBSX, but it should hopefully be better than PS4 and...

As for what the 5090 looks like: https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-pre That card is much thinner than I was expecting.

Also thanks to them for the DPad.
