Compression is a misnomer unless it is specified whether it's lossy or lossless. Most "incredible" compression schemes are lossy. H.265/AV1? Lossy and look better only because a LOT of horsepower goes into reconstructing the image from the "hints" left by the encoder. They all depend on the fact...
Continued access to the games (hopefully within our lifetimes) and no headache of trying to store a whole library of them offline. With even delisting of games on Steam, the ones who have already bought the games or have older keys may still be able to access them.
Try the Fedora Live boot ISO. May not be the fastest but looks more polished than CachyOS.
Also, based on my experience, it did something regarding time that none of the other Live boot distros did. Left me impressed. Don't remember exactly what. I think the other distros were having sleep...
No. $5. They need to stop being greedy. The lower the price, the more trivial it is to stay subscribed and forget about it and avoid the kind of anxiety MadMummy mentioned. More people would think, "Heck, it's just $5. Why not keep paying?". This is the way.
I never understood DRM in the Steam age. Most people have huge backlogs so they won't spend $70 buying the latest game on Steam unless it's something they really, really want to play in the present, in which case they would just buy it. Who in their right mind pirates multi-gigabyte games these...
It should be slightly better than a 9950X. May lose where latency matters because it is saddled with high latency RAM.
Personally, I don't understand why it took this long for someone to put a liquid cooler on it.
I assume the prospect of an ammonia leak is thrilling? :)
I saw a video of the gameplay. Nice graphics with cool special effects. But couldn't understand why I would pay for it. The monetization scheme must've been fleshed out extensively before Sony decided to sink so much money into this game's development.
Yes, it is steep. But the one responsible isn't AMD. It's Intel for getting themselves so toothless with their bad decisions that they have nothing to counter it with.

Impressive fps achieved with just DDR5-5600. Imagine if this CPU had been unlocked. Naysayers were wrong then. Intel gaslighted everyone by saying that this chip only matters for industrial use. It's a gaming chip that was demoted because of Arrow...
No. It only patches them mid-execution and ONLY if you turn it on.
I think that's why they are using it only with old games that aren't going to be seeing any updates. The tool only works if the file checksum matches. Otherwise, it will not do anything and simply ignore the game after the...
Expect it to be magnified at Nova Lake launch. It's overloaded to the gills with extra features (APX, AVX10.2, 12 wide decode) that are unfortunately limiting the max frequency to no better than Arrow Lake. There might be no choice but to use iBOT for optimal performance until maybe Hammer Lake...
