- Problem with all frame gen solutions is they perform the worst when you need them the most. Low base FPS means input lag and way more artifacting than if you're starting with a high base FPS. I'm going to give a couple games a shot (cyberpunk for example) with AMD's FG turned on so I can see...

-I mean a live in person test. It could be filmed ofc, but the people being subject to the test would be seeing gameplay rendered in real time a natural.

Honestly it feels like we're at the point where unless you're specifically pixel peeping, most of this stuff is going to look roughly equivalent to everything else (at least as far as upscaling is concerned, jury is out on FG) in terms of actual gameplay. I think a far more entertaining test...

Oh boy, shovel on the coal for the AMD GPU Hype Choo Choo, right on schedule.

If Fable as a franchise can see a (decent looking) rebirth after all these years... then literally anything can come back from the grave. Fingers crossed that we get a half-decent Dragon Age game within the next 15 years...

- The pricing on it has remained stubbornly high through the last couple Steam sales and such. If it dropped to a clean $9.99 (like the W3 GOTY edition) then I figure it would be cheap enough for a lot of people to pick up simply out of curiosity. At the $20+ it still costs now (in addition to...

Weird use of the Marathon property. Anyone old enough to remember what Marathon was isn't going to care for some cookie cutter shooter, and anyone young enough to still care about Bungie isn't going see the draw of Marathon as a property.

- Its literally what Nvidia does everytime they release a DLSS update (the recent DLSS 4.5 update for example). The driver simply intercepts the DLL calls and injects its own. Its not like every game with DLSS has to manually be updated to the new DLSS version.

-AMD's drivers will actually inject FSR4 into any FSR3 compatible game out there (FSR3 switched to an Nvidia style dll model, so versions are easily swappable) so there is supposedly way more FSR4 compatibility out there than it first seems if you're specifically looking for games built with FSR4.

I'm shocked W1 is at 10 million. Game is hella eurojank and frankly just not all that much fun to play. Its exactly the kind of game that would benefit massively from a remake (which is supposed to be in progress). You can see the vision there, the execution however was... rough. A lot of teeth...

Yeah, I really only upgraded after taking a look at part prices due to AI and deciding I'd rather pick something up now in the event that consumer GPUs experience another long drought a la mining than wait and potentially end up with even more expensive cards or having my 980ti finally crap out...

Stopped by the semi-local microcenter today and picked up a PC Reaper 9070xt open box that they had for $602. This is the most I've ever spent on a video card ever, in my entire life but by modern standards in both the new and used market, the thing is a steal (esp. given I snagged my 6800xt...

Yeahhuh, ok Nvidia. Sending out 5 GPUs a quarter is not technically end of life but...

Feels like a big nothingburger...

https://www.techpowerup.com/345224/nvidia-reportedly-ends-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-production-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-next - GG folks, the current situation is somehow even worse than either of the mining incidents. Hope this AI thing cools it's jets sooner rather than later (although my retirement...

Feels like one of those have cake and eat it situations. COE33 was getting some blow back about being in the indie category, then some news bubbles up that AI was used as a placeholder, then the awards use that as a pretext to backtrack and reassign some awards. Feel bad for The Alters...

Why the **** would they make the demo a limited time release?

When the AI market cools it will be interesting if we end up with a supply glut and cratering prices too. One can dream.

Nah, consumer is a "small" chunk of their revenue, but that small chunk is still like ~4B dollars or something a quarter. All these guys know the AI thing is going to cool,.alternate chip designs or AI algos.are.going to reduce compute requirements, etc. They're going to keep gaming fridged...

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me to see Super get passed over this time around. RTX 5 series cards are still plenty powerful, their chip cuts don't really leave a lot of room for compute improvements, and there is no universe consumer cards are getting higher RAM variants right now. Not the worst...
