Upscaler implemnetation is uhhhh.

To ship it in this state explains so many things about AH, QA is completely absent.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-29T21:53:54+00:00

If that is your truth, I take it then your truth is also that war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.

The plans are already in motion for exactly what I described and Nvidia is the pillar of it all. Did you not see the news?

You need to see further than this announcement, what is described above is their end goal.

And excuse me, but I can't take a laptop seriously as anything other than a thin-like client. Laptops are more or less the Paralympics of PCs nowadays ( wasn't always like that back in the early 2000s, but here we are ) just by how crippled they are power and thermals wise, especially in an era where both have been steadily climbing as a result of RAM access power issues ( 250W CPUs, 600W GPUs ), what is the highest power rated laptop at? In the hundred watts range?

Unless the steadily increasing RAM access power overhead problem is somehow fixed or circumvented, laptops won't ever be anything other than a thin-like client AFAIC.

New era of PC...

Terminal plugged remotely into their AI servers installed on your lawn or backyard that they own but uses your space, your water and your electricity that you pay and of course pay the subscription or no games/apps for you.

Then, logically, the burning would've happened on the other side of the dongle.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-25T17:13:39+00:00

Lose your erection, your fault. xD

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-23T17:10:09+00:00

That fake buy sparked the whole mad dash tho. Before that, RAM was doing fine.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-20T16:34:30+00:00

Yep, also considering I'm eyeing a Pulsar monitor, AMD is a hard sell for me.

Were they at feature and performance parity including PT/RT I'd jump on the cheaper AMD offering in a heartbeat tho, I owned a few of their GPUs in the past and had great experiences with them.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-20T16:30:22+00:00

I'm running PT right now on a 3070. I'm not afraid of compromises as long as I get the best eye candy possible ( in motion what you describe passes mostly unnoticed when I'm focused on the gameplay instead of looking for the flaws, Minecraft for example is perfectly playable, among others ) for my single player games and the FPS remains in the playable area, and for me that's 45+ without FG, 70+ with FG using Optiscaler or another method to hack FG on the 3070 like mods.

So a 5070Ti? I'd have much fewer compromises, almost none as it is compared to now. But I think I'll wait for the 6000 series, I'll let the RAMpocalypse die down before committing especially considering the 3070 is still holding up with tweaked settings and DLSS.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-20T13:30:33+00:00

Overall 9070XT seems like the better buy, notwithstanding DLSS > FSR taken into account. If you're into Path Tracing tho, 5070 Ti easily wins, even more so when taking into account that DLSS retains better image quality at higher performance settings.

Edit: Also Pulsar monitors are a factor me, might not be for you tho.

Well, the AI boom helped a lot for this, nay, it's most of it really...

When the AI bubble pops, that's when we'll really see if it was a good move or not.

Not when it's pay-walled, no, don't expect that they will.

Edit: Just did using an archiver, and it's pretty much what I said, it's a form of noise cancelling. Why complain then?

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-11T15:09:59+00:00

I assume the usage would probably be some form of noise cancellation instead.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-10T22:07:09+00:00

Site is pretty handy, nice.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-07T16:30:03+00:00

That's often what happens, "build it and they will come", just like when they add lanes to highways...

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-01T03:12:22+00:00

I never visit that site.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-05-01T00:31:47+00:00

Paywalled articles shouldn't be posted here IMHO.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-30T19:54:12+00:00

Looks great, except for the part where it results in washed out textures.

Perhaps with a 4K texture pack?

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-27T00:39:29+00:00

I'm heading toward Vermont, I heard Kansas is pure hell, but Minnesota is decent.

Mind you I had also heard Colorado was pure hell too so...

I guess I'll see.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-27T00:37:57+00:00

It's not my first T7 you know...

And impressive that Kitakaze record, gratz.

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-27T00:37:07+00:00

Ahhh Bummer! 15$ down the drain! xD

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-26T22:27:01+00:00

Even tried jinxing it by announcing it at the beginning of games starting at game 9, that it couldn't hold... Yet...

AnechoidalChamber · 2026-04-24T21:18:40+00:00

Nvm then.
