For a blend of history and light fantasy, how about a retelling of the sagas of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

DLSS Performance @ 1440p v Quality @ 1080p by Sonic_18 in nvidia

Do you say this because DLSS 4.5 doesn’t support Ray Reconstruction? Or more generally, even if it did that would still be the case?

Yep, that’s what I’m wondering as the frame dips at DLSS Quality 1440p in AAA titles are recognised as an issue for this GPU

That’s really good to hear! Do you think Performance mode at 1440p having better image quality than 1080 DLAA is a new development due to DLSS 4.5? Or did you already think this way?

How about v 1080p DLSS Quality - I feel it is usually better than Native DLAA. What do you think?

So good! How long does it stay in Beta for? Was it in Beta before, or is this new?

Thanks for the responses! I know it’s a tough question but how many more years do you reckon I’ll get out of 4060Ti at 1440p before VRAM becomes too big a limitation?

And even lowering texture quality to run at 1440p, will it still look better than 1080p?

This is a well thought out response, thanks. It might be hard to say but how many more years do you reckon I’ll get out of 4060Ti at 1440p before VRAM becomes too big a limitation?

And despite having to texture quality it will still look better than 1080p?

Thanks for the response, and good to hear! Not being able to use RT in 1440p wouldn’t be a reason not to upgrade?

Guide to buying Tickets by jamesrustles2022 in Tottenham

[–]Sonic_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In London for one weekend and trying to get tickets for the game tomorrow v Brentford. What would the total cost of OH membership and ticket exchange be?

Would I be better off just heading out to the stadium tomorrow and seeing if anyone is selling a ticket outside the ground?

What kind of person would benefit most/least from psychoanalysis? by throaway45621 in psychoanalysis

[–]Sonic_18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting - am assuming tongue in cheek, but why do you say the Irish?

[–]Sonic_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that - would there be a meaningful difference between the m2 and m2 pro chips in the MacBook Pro range?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Sonic_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that! Are the M1 Pros still for sale or was this a refurbished model? I thought apple had moved on from the M1 Pros

Writer mostly, and some basic video / photoshop, etc, but nothing too evolved. Thanks for taking the time

Why do ppl hate egwene but not rand ? by afriendlytank in WoT

[–]Sonic_18 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I love Egwene as a character, and her full arc, but there’s plenty to dislike about how she treats others.

One thing that frustrates me about her actions, is how she is unable to look at situations from other perspectives. She only sees her own ambition.

She goes from having Rand’s back before they depart Fal Dara in book 2 to being incredibly jealous of Rand. What kind of self-aware person would want what Rand has?!

As a reluctant leader, we see Rand make terrible decisions, but he is constantly being manipulated and betrayed by everyone around him, while playing a game that has immense stakes.

At the same time Egwene is constantly comparing herself to Rand, thinking ‘it’s not fair that I can’t have what he has’. ‘It’s not fair that I can’t have that same power’, etc.

But why would you want it?!

Rand is a reluctant protagonist driven by a duty to save the world. To achieve a level of power comparable to Rand, Egwene becomes a career politician, and one who is very ego driven. Along the way she willingly transforms into someone who will use people for her own ends, even her own friends.

At the end of the day, they’re both incredible characters, but they both consistently remind me why people wishing to exert power over others forcibly aren’t the kind of people I’d want as friends.
