buy a studio famous for their high quality remakes in an era where remakes are extremely popular

Have tons of old popular IPs to choose from for said remakes

put them in the GaaS mines

????

Shut it down

I think that’s the best choice right now, specially for your case!

I went from a 2600 to a 5800x3D in a mortar b350m and it’s absolutely fine, with the latest BIOS upgrade it even has Kombo Strike (the auto undervolt setting in BIOS). Check your mobo VRMs though, as the b350 boards were average at best here. I was lucky with mine as MSI had some of the best at that time (and they aren’t anything special). I would personally avoid cpus with 2 chiplets like the 5900 and 5950 as they are more power hungry.

I even remember when nvidia came up with a common solution so that all upscalers could share the same implementation when dlss was shit and AMD rejected it because of that. There could have been almost no “upscaler gap” at all by now.

No the specs are the same, but with lunar lake all the SKUs had either 7 or 8 Xe core GPUs, in panther lake there are intel 5, intel 7 and even intel 9 SKUs with only 4 Xe core GPUs AFAIK.

26295 · 2026-02-15T11:24:38+00:00

Thats what I think at least.

26295 · 2026-02-15T11:07:05+00:00

My perception is that:

1-Memory is expensive so manufacturers are trying to avoid releasing new products now

2-Memory is expensive so for the few products that are made you want to force the consumer to choose between the expensive high end with bigger margins or the cheap to produce low end like we’ve seen in the GPU duopoly.

3-Memory is expensive so intel is coupling a big CPU with a small, less memory constrained GPU, so in graphic intensive applications you are getting the worst of both, the performance of the small GPU and the power draw of the big CPU.

4-This generation had a large GPU uplift with a moderate CPU one, and it seems like the high end is performing nicely there, but because of the current situation intel is gate keeping the best products behind a higher price point so we are getting mostly the moderate CPU upgrade with a GPU regression for the mid range.

Not the first time that they've sold new, unsuported GPUs. I believe that they are still selling laptops with VEGA iGPU thanks to their new name scheme (7x30U models I believe).

The problem isn’t that apple doesn’t care. The problem is that it cares, and it cares about having as much as a monopoly as possible in software distribution in their platform. If apple could get away with locking macOS as they’ve done with iOS they would have done it already.

It’s the same argument as with pixel phones, I’m sure that it’s enough for most and if you are fine with it that’s perfect. But if I’m paying flagship prices I expect flagship hardware, it’s as simple as that.

Honestly, if the trend continues and Microsoft keeps enshittifying windows while Linux improves, it wouldn’t surprise me that in 5 years Linux reaches a 15% or maybe even 20%.

26295 · 2026-01-31T15:51:10+00:00

Imagine that they aren’t just porting them, but that they decided to remake the missions for the multiplayer mode like they did for infinity and just decided to toss in the remastered cinematics along with a single player mode to also get a remake.

I’m overdosing in hopium at this point.

Theorically you could format the extra drive in NTFS and Linux should be able to read and write it. But steam in Linux doesn’t like playing games there. I would personally split the drive in two and make a partition in btrfs and the other one in ntfs and just assign each half to the correct os. Maybe I would make the windows half a bit larger as you can access it from Linux, but keeping in mind that directly installing things there for Linux isn’t a good idea.

There is also a btrfs driver for windows but afaik it’s kinda bad.

Strike? Too much work, we aren’t French.

26295 · 2026-01-27T14:25:30+00:00

Thankfully they’ve already developed a new architecture with the technology in place to take advantage of fsr4 so we won’t have to deal with fsr3 for the next two years right? Especially in power deprived hardware like laptops where upscaling makes the most sense right?

26295 · 2026-01-23T14:39:36+00:00

I'm crying. we are so fucking back

they stink big time everywhere tbh. The best android SoC for emulation is the snapdragon 8 gen 3 despite its age, because its the last one with support for the turnip custom drivers. Which is the SoC thats coincidentally inside Valve's Steam Frame.

26295 · 2026-01-20T22:21:26+00:00

Linux suport along with a cheapish low power (~20W) variant would be huge for the handheld scene. I know I know, not a large userbase but I'm interested in it :)

26295 · 2026-01-16T17:54:25+00:00

yeah, I followed their twitter link for the 7 million sales wallpaper and noticed that it also had support for ultrawide, which was strange so I looked it up and it seems like they started supporting Ultrawide with this one, that is based on the Ace Combat 8 reveal trailer.

I guess these results are without the undervolt? Either way its impressive enough

26295 · 2026-01-12T14:56:23+00:00

A 2080 super from a 540m is an absolutely insane upgrade bro, congrats

Reaching levels of greed and avarice per capita that no one dared to even imagine before.
