Exactly. Just used the damned telemetry they get as part of the TOS. While they are at it, they can break it down by regions. For example; I may be confidently incorrect, but I expect Nvidia is far more dominant in Asia than the Americas and Europe. The idea that it is a PR tool makes a lot of...

Textures and meshes take up a lot of space. Be careful what you ask for too. Neural texture compression might end up being a mixed bag or worse, for who knows how long. Helldivers 2 used deduplication to significantly reduce install size on the PC port. I wonder if that is doable with some of...

I agree. They have never fully recovered from the anti consumer crap they tried to pull with the XBONE. If they were banking on gamers having short memories, they goofed but good. The terrible job they have done managing Gears and Halo, the anchors of the ecosystem, should be crimes. The new...

Exactly. And we have no idea if it is remotely accurate. What we do know is AMD has reported strong sales YOY the last EDIT: 3 Qs. From Q4 last year And Q1 My contention is; The Steam survey is too often a case of bad data is worse than no data. The old truism about lies, damned lies, and...

We are witnessing a radical shift away from big corpos in media. Star Wars movie with baby Yoda is tanking. He-Man is a massive flop. Supergirl is projected to crash and burn. Word has it, test screenings were so bad they cut 30 minutes from it and added more Superman. The most profitable movies...

I concede the point. Now, lets get back to the conversations concerning the fact the survey once again has proven to be broken. And this is only the latest incident proving it.

Conspiracy are often real, and proven correct. This is a prime example where that is the case. It is more broken than simply not being surveyed though. https://www.techpowerup.com/349940/steam-survey-increased-windows-11-adoption-amd-gpu-detection-fix-live At almost 20% share AMD is still...

Yes indeed, some nice quality of life tweaks, glad to see it. They partially addressed the copy paste corridors level. That's a big W right there. I might have to throw 11 pro on a nvme if the price is right. Or if it is on the lowest game pass tier.

LMAO

I had the 3050 6GB. Open box from Best Buy for $140. I was pleasantly surprised how well it did for a slot powered card. DLSS is a killer app. Great for dropping in an old office PC or workstation on Ebay for a couple of $100 AKA uber cheap gaming PC meta. They have been saying the 3060 12GB...

I agree. Phil&co were ruining XBOX, and the decision seems right on brand. The Halo game I want to play is doing with 117 what we just saw with 007. Start over from the beginning and get new players invested in the character. The show did it, but the budget and writing were lacking.

No, it will be campaign only. They may follow the model they used for Infinite where the MP is separate and F2P. Player counts are not great on Steam, but XBOX is probably where most play. Or perhaps it has done so poorly they are not going to bother investing in it? This was all going on before...

Then you are not. ;) Different stokes and all that. I put crazy hours into the first 3 games, especially co-op and MP. It was very much a you had to be there thing.

:ROFLMAO: I meant the PC release, which was evidently 9/2003. Once I could dual wield plasma rifles and had the sword, it made a big difference. Yup. And judicious use of the exploding ones to frag others around them. Reach was great, 4 I disliked. Never played 5. Infinite I enjoyed the...

Last time I had a CPU past 8 cores was X79. 8/16 is great for gaming. Heck, my 5600X3D has never been a limitation of note. Shader comp takes longer, but no BFD. The 4K thing is silly to me. Having a 7900XTX, in newer games with the settings I prefer, can't always handle native 4K smoothly...

Prefacing my remarks; I rarely play games on release or even near it, unless bundled with hardware. This subsequently means I do not immediately upgrade drivers. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I have not had crashes or other issues with teams red or green that were a problem on the vendors...

Okay, I took the time to watch the game play and I'm sold. The story and setting seems like old school Gears. Tai was a great reveal. Hopefully they have worked some magic to make whatever iterations of UE5 used, not suck. My gut tells me some of the quick clips of game play were on Series S. A...

If they still have all of the copy pasta levels, you will not have a good time in some levels of the game. It was the biggest complaint by us PC gamers back in 2004? When they released it. The same stupid corridors, over and over. Follow the arrows on the floor, because it will get so...

I am an OG Gears head. Pre-ordered and played co-op day 1. I had a great time in all but 4. I don't know what they were thinking with that one. 5 I dig the combat, but dislike the story in 4 and 5. I hope they have permanently abandoned the Disney princess storyline. This prequel is supposed to...

LMAO that would be amazing. psolord would stroke out. All that compute with only 8GB is his worst nightmare. Correct settings™ Or lower internal res but always max textures. Some games the visual difference with texture quality is not a big deal, for many, it is. I still don't think this...
