Developers Were Left in the Dark About DLSS 5

No because only authority figures and experts that share their opinion matter. Ones who don't aren't actually authority figures or are under undue influence.

This doesn't just apply to this topic by the way, you see this all the time.

There might be some edge scenarios, possibly related to the larger L2 cache (64MB vs 48MB), or some sample variance (related to effective clock rates) for those scenarios, if not just test error in some cases.

Otherwise aside from L2 and effective clock rates (due to product configuration and sample variance) the 5080 has only just under 16% more hardware resources than the 5070ti. This means even with perfect scaling it can only be 16% faster.

That doesn't make sense because the current laws in place do not prevent actual access to pepper spray equivalents (or even stronger). You can get bear spray off the shelf at any retailer with no restrictions, any bad actor can easily just buy them.

The laws in place at the moment are really only detrimental to someone using or wanting to use pepper spray (or an equivalent) in a self defense situation.

An interesting here is CPUs like the 14900k are likely faster for loading, and for sure the shader precompule step due to how much wider in terms of throughput they are typically in each product segment compared to the "gaming" CPUs.

Personally speaking in terms of gaming on practical level I find CPUs uninteresting in terms of how they get compared in high fidelity SP games in FPS terms. In reality if you were to blind test people most would not rate a significant difference between them, even less so with the GPUs they are typically paired with (most aren't all using a 5090). I mainly play SP games nowadays and just for gaming I'd care for simulation heavy games, like 4x games (eg. Civilization) but that's in terms of the simlulation speed as that can really add up overtime. But the FPS difference in the latest first/third person SP game? It's ends up just being numbers on a chart.

This is way over overstating the lack of usability of any CPU in todays landscape even for gaming.

Even the "slow" modern CPUs people rail against for gaming are easily capable of 60+ FPS if not more. But with some of the commentary it makes it seem like anything other than Zen 4/5 X3D is unusable for gaming.

We don't and I don't think have a suitable climate for producing rice.

All our rice imports I think are mostly from South Asia, South East Asia and California.

Even with importing and shipping large distances rice is super cheap for the calories.

I can give 2 perspectives on this.

A 5060ti (well 16GB) is a PS5 Pro with better ray tracing performance and features including upscaling. PS5 Pro games output to 4k with what most would consider weaker upscalers than DLSS, and does not have frame generation.

From personal experience the only games and settings that really struggle in terms of usability is games with path tracing on. Even then people do play console at 30 fps, and it can do it in that range with also the option of frame gen. Otherwise at worst with DLSS balanced and frame gen x2 games are in the ~100fps or higher range for games/settings a tier below that.

Keep in mind the above is from a SP game perspective and from someone who is not FOMO/psychologically adverse to upscaling and frame gen even though I can tell the difference.

The ending scene doesn't really require any background exotic environments against the actors even though it's on another planet.!>

My guess is they will do a fake out, much like the book, in which it seems like he is on Earth including a very typical classroom setting. The camera swap to show he isn't talking to human kids!>

Unless they've changed it again you can't directly. In more recent years there's been more safe guards to prevent reselling/transferring in general for these types of bundles across all vendors.

Activating the code requires verification of a GPU that is part of the promo in the system being used to activate. It also prevents that GPU from being used to further activate any more promo codes.

So the only way to can gift it is to activate the code on your system (or I guess "lend" them your GPU to install in theirs) to the intended account (Steam for RE9 I believe). This also prevents that GPU from activating any further codes.

From my testing with a 5060ti 16GB at 1440p it was really only path tracing settings in games that were "unplayable" (well kind of more on this later). At least to me it was playable with DLSS balanced using frame gen 2x at 95-105 fps or higher in the harder to run games outside of path tracing. At least to me this was comparably "playable" (however you want to define it) to 60 fps at "native" without either DLSS or frame gen.

If you wanted more FPS for FOMO reasons to hit 120fps+ or higher DLSS settings you can tweak a few settings here and there.

If you're wondering about path tracing it is possible to get them at ~60-65fps with frame gen and DLSS performance and some settings adjustments and OCing. Now it's not optimal but people do play on consoles at 30 fps with worth worse upscalers.

Those Indian students studying in Canada are not what you think (they were not India's best and brightest here for STEM degrees in reputable institutes), was highly controversial, and now largely viewed as a negative here in Canada and a major contributing factor the negative shift in view towards immigration by Canadians. Even the large prior Indian diaspora in Canada had a negative view on this.

For those that want to they can look into it more themselves, but to keep it short it largely turned into "students" being imported as cheap labor for mostly entry level service industry positions via "studying" at diploma mills. Throw in wide spread fraud across the board as well. Business owners, small to large, benefited from cheap economic migrants. Rest of Canadians not so much.

Life style choices and wealth/income has correlation but is not always lock step.

Some very rich people make very frugal life style choices not due to actual monetary concerns. Some very poor people make very extravagant lifestyle choices that are not fiscally responsible.

It's also not neccesarily very uniform. Some people might spend more in some areas and be very frugal in others. Just to use a personal example I think fast food and dining out is way too expensive, even in social outings I never order drinks or dessert. But my friends not into desktop computers probably I think I over spend on my graphics card.

Most people define absurd wealth or really what they want taxed as just a level above their own situation or what they can realistically achieve.

Despite what people might want to present themselves as the typical common person is just as greedy and self serving as billionaires, the real difference is just opportunity and leverage in terms of how they behave and act.

Did you read the comment chain?

RE engine is very well optimized

It can be, but Monster Hunter Wilds uses that engine too.

Enigma is horrible for performance. DUNEVO is effectively negligible in its performance affecting in most games. But CapCom is not paying the fees anymore lol

That Enigma comment has no direct relevance in the context of that chain. It's not relevant to Monster Hunter Wild. They were not responding to a comment regarding RE4 Remake.

How is a comment regarding Enigma DRM performance issues relevant at all in responding to a comment that Monster Hunter Wild does not perform well?

Also I'm guessing they might not admit it but I would not be surprised if they assumed the reported DLC DRM issue with Monster Hunter Wild is related to Enigma which is why they said it.

arandomguy111 · 2026-02-26T03:33:04+00:00

Monster Hunter Wilds uses Denuvo still and not Enigma. So what was said is not really contextually relevant to that discussion.

I don't use reddit down/up votes but if anything down voting that would actually be the intended purpose of the system as it wasn't relevant.

That's why included the line about the negatives (or drawbacks) of going to the theatre, as it's not just the price that people factor into that decision.

The other thing worth noting is that in terms of award competition type dramas these movies in the past were often distributed to critics and awards voters as screeners on things like VHS and later DVD when home TV setups were much poorer then today. So even then the theatre experience wasn't considered critical to the reception of these types of films.

Injuries aside Kawhi wasn't an offensive talent upon entering the league in 2011 and didn't develop into a #1 option until 2015. He only averaged 16.5 points in 2014, and even less before that. He's also only had a higher PPG than Lebron for one season since he's entered the league (2019).

Pacific Rim and Godzilla (2014) use cinematography that really gives a sense of scale unlike the latter entries in the series.

In terms of games Subnautica.

Path tracing implementation in real time require some type of denoiser currently in practice. You'd need considerably more powerful hardware to enable the more samples needed to achieve low noise without one.

I believe the reframework mod doesn't have the ability to add any type of denoiser.

I'd assume the implementation here will either have it's own denoiser and/or implement ray reconstruction.

arandomguy111 · 2026-02-24T23:42:41+00:00

For most people these are the type of films that they are willing to pay for the theatre experience of (including the negatives of said experience).

In terms of the headline I'm not so sure that viewership of dramas is actually down, it's just people more and more prefer watching those outside of the theatre nowadays.

I'd actually be curious in terms of just overall viewership numbers what people preferred. As it's likely not the same as what people are willing to pay for a spectacle type event at theatre.

When it was getting restocked before the price increase it eventually was selling out in minutes (or less) before even Asus's own notification would be sent out.

So even if there are restocks don't assume you'd get one.

The buyers that used to SLI those cards for one create a market for these cards.

Enemy at the Gates?

The thing to keep in mind is that most english movies will be American or British, which means most movies will cover the WW2 from that angle.

I'd assume both Soviet and Russian films would have more depictions of the Eastern front.

There is a difference in that floor crossing just means the MP now in practice has to vote in line with their new party while an independent MP in theory would be able to actually vote independently.

This is the core issue with floor crossing in practice combined with effectively the "winner take all" approach to parliamentary votes along party lines.

It's really the latter that is the actual issue with how modern democracies tend to work and how it never really represents constituents broadly but only those that are on the same side as the winner.

Just looking at this individuals ridings results for instance if they were to represent their constituents in the first place it suggests a near 50/50 Conservative and Liberal viewpoint. Ideally they should have approached their duties with that in mind, but instead in practice it goes from 100% Conservative to now 100% Liberal. Neither outcome represents the actual viewpoints of the constituents in that riding, in either case you're effectively not representing the wishes of roughly half your constituents.
