But the revisit also showed those cards struggling to hold 30 FPS in some titles at 1080p and completely failing to break 20 FPS in others so… even if they were in the list they aren’t currently relevant.

And that seals that... https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-outlaws-jabba-the-hutt-mission-locked-behind-season-pass It's not cosmetics but gameplay content that is locked behind the season passes. Fat ass NOPE!

Cool shit for the sake of it being cool is always awesome.

Gaming it will still struggle at 1080p as shown here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3WSqLEciEw&t=962s&ab_channel=GamersNexus But if you need something for Media, it packs one hell of an encoder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvNYdqG9PEw&ab_channel=GeekShhh So there is a place for this card...

games are so communication-dependent that a lack of memory channels will bite you in the ass long before you pass cores at full utilization. Many here would likely be shocked at how much time many of those cores are wasting spinning their wheels on busy work while they wait for something else to...

Yep, fact. It exists now for me to test deployments and create screenshots. But the M1 of the same size it was replaced with is lighter, cooler, faster, better battery, with faster storage. We had some programs that would not work on the Intel Mac’s even in Parallels. But the M1’s with...

I mean if anything there is this thread.... https://hardforum.com/threads/rumour-ps5-pro-dev-kit-prototypes-will-be-going-to-1st-party-developers-within-the-next-couple-of-months.2027563/

So they also got Nvidia design suite too. ASML uses it to optimize their tools, TSMC uses it to optimize their design tools. AMD uses it to test iterative changes in their designs, and their performance impacts. What if we moved this part over here and changed this to be more T shaped instead of...

Pure EVs were and are a huge long shot, it's taken decades of investment to get the petrol infrastructure to where it is, you can't just supplant that in a few years. Additionally, the costs of the raw battery materials are not going down as expected, they build huge plants to cut down...

I have a late 2019 Intel-based MPB that I keep in my desk drawer for when I need screenshots for guides and such and it is certainly more than usable, but Nov 2020 M1 MBP blows it away in every measurable aspect.

Never forget the old forestry service quote. “There is a surprising overlap between the smartest of bears and the dumbest of tourists”. The 6 vs 5 issue very much would be a problem. They can simply call it the XBox 6 and internally clarify they considered the two units currently available to...

I think it’s a placement problem, the search box still does search without all the AI stuff but now it also does all the AI stuff. So you don’t know when you are or aren’t doing something with CoPilot when you use the box. I’m the enterprise CoPilot preview it only works in Edge, so when you...

They violated his license, which requires written approval to fork his code to the Apple Store, good on Apple for taking it out quickly at the original author's request. GBA4iOS is an open source program released under the GNU GPLv2 license, with licensing terms that let anyone "use, modify...

I feel this… My biggest struggle for laptops right now are ones with a NIC that supports VLan tagging. So many don’t. And lots say they do but not on the 620i only the 620e but the white paper for the 620 doesn’t distinguish between the two variants so you get an unwelcome surprise when you go...

Only if they cross promote it with Coke. Coke Zero, no sugar added Xbox Zero, No scrubs need apply.

Don’t really care about that, game play first, the rest comes after.

That’s where iterative upgrades come in, if they are selling the hardware at cost then updating the console every couple of years instead of waiting for large upgrade cycles the naming convention becomes part of the marketing. Oh your still using a 2025 even though the 2027 and 2029 are available…

XBoxXP Then the following generations can be XBox 7, 8, 10, 11 then just start naming them by the year of release Xbox 2050, etc..

Nvidia has been using a sodimm slot for their SoC’s for a long while. So it’s been around for a good while.

I don’t think 8gb is enough, not once you start using Office or Adobe products, but if you are staying inside the built in Apple software it’s fine. I mean I can crap on their ram numbers but Windows OEM’s still sell win 11 machines with 4GB which isn’t enough to run Chrome/Edge let alone...

And a very empty “Open World” that leads to a few hallway simulations.

I understand it's not required but they often gatekeep the content behind them, so it depends on what they lock behind those passes is it purely cosmetic or is there more behind that paywall?

It doesn't really talk about gameplay which is the only aspect I particularly care about, if that's good then its likely a good game, but Ubisofts business practices are making it extremely difficult to even want to give the game a chance.

And just as many more are pissed it's $110 USD... and has season passes for a single-player game, either way, it's on my do not touch list for now, may re-evaluate that in a year or so.

Ubisoft doing this sort of crap is why I won't be getting their new Star Wars game regardless of how awesome it might actually be.

Source of the leak was probably a call center, they move them around so regularly as contracts expire chasing the better deal that either a former location said FU I’m gonna sell your data, or a new one that was aggressively priced didn’t have the security it needs (because that costs money) and...

Apple now has the same problem Intel and AMD has, node shrinks aren’t getting them the performance uplifts they used to. So now they need features and accelerators, but they already had accelerators, but their feature set is a pale comparison to what AMD, Intel, and Nvidia can provide. So Apple...

I’m not sure I trust those numbers on those sites, as their methods for obtaining numbers are questionable and rely on methods Apple blocks. I also think Linux is seeing higher usage than they give credit to for similar reasons. Their tracking relies on methods that get blocked. So really what...

The other half is, if you have an M1 based Mac for 90% of the consumer base there is no need to go to an M3. If you are a corporate user there are few reasons to upgrade to an M3 from either the M1 or M2 variants. Unless you specifically need one of the few exclusives that the M3 offers it’s...

Sometimes I feel like they also do this to avoid the “uncanny valley” you can design and animate a solid 7, but it’s very tricky to do the same with a 9 or a 10 without it being off putting. It also greatly decreases the likelihood of the character ending up on Pornhub or other such site which...

We’re still going to get a bunch of SKU’s traditionally they make up the different binnings of the silicon. It allows them to sell as much of the product as they can. Even assuming a greater than 80% perfect yield rate those failures manifest in unusable cores, unstable cache, etc… so they burn...

The Chinese military will get the cards through fronts or 3’rd parties but they will get them. The only thing this does is short term stunt Chinese enterprise and business from competing against other companies, and remove the additional supply constraints adding China to the availability would...

You make that sound easy, this will likely end up as a case study in international logistics. It’s not a small supply chain that they have to completely reform to facilitate that move.

I was referring to the native performance of Mario on the NES, I mean the entirety of the original Mario game is just shy of 32KB, a screenshot at a native resolution of 256x240 is going to be larger than that.

Even if they “discontinue” the hardware console itself they would rebrand XBox as part of the windows platform. Microsoft owns too many game studios to abandon gaming as a whole. But the costs of selling a console at cost and the cost of an entry level PC with a similar performance profile are...

But at that time that was still ground breaking. The work Nintendo did to make area transitions work in the first Zelda and the memory tricks that accompanied it were insane.

The fact that a screenshot of a game of Mario is larger and requires more processing power to view than the entirety of NES Mario Bros is insane. But that is the level of optimization games of the time required to work.

While that would be awesome, I instead envision a variation of the Nintendo Virtual Console where a subscription gets you access to a digital library you can install from. Because monthly fees and all that corporate jazz.

Microsoft wouldn’t even need an emulator, the OS itself is a stripped down Windows NT. But the big guns are weighing in. https://www.eurogamer.net/xbox-sets-up-a-game-preservation-team-and-wants-the-biggest-technical-leap-ever-for-its-next-gen-system Xbox president Sarah Bond had recently...

My explanation was bad but as to who, Imagination for one, their whole chip is pretty much a custom job, which is why they are selling their own licenses for it. But it also makes it incompatible with the base instructions. But it’s going to get paired with the HarmonyOS and shipped out anyways...
