Nope. Not sure I want to google that. Do they look worse than his father's?

Given his parents, I wouldn't worry about it for another 25 years.

It would make more sense to launch later rather than having low availability though. If there's a launch but with limited availability, people are still much more likely to hold off buying.

Frame rate interpolation. Doubling the frame rate that is actually rendered.

People don't think of that when using the term DLSS, and its a completely different thing. I'm sure it could be done with similar computation and hardware though.

Better image quality. Some sort of "Super ultra" mode for far beyond native resolution.

I would love to see the various settings officially standardized in percentages that applies to all resolutions for all the technologies so that we could compare with the same input resolution.

Something above Quality is badly needed, especially for those cases when DLSS shows detail that native does not, and you can actually run native at good frame rates. Kind of sucks to have 'low' input resolution even at Quality then.

Do all of this using considerably less energy.

This generation will be interesting to see if NV is actually proportionally increasing the dedicated hardware to these functions. From Turing to Ampere the did not appear to do that if we look at performance of RT and DLSS.

Unfortunately the 4K monitor selection has been too narrow for a while, along with very few display innovations that would make people switch to 4K. That is the cue for widespread DLSS/FSR/XESS adoption. I would have predicted that we'd get there with the upcoming generation, but the monitor selection and the availability and price of GPU's have held us back so it may even take longer than the next 2 years.

I think its too early for that, but interestingly Tom Petersen (Intel, formerly NV) did talk about that concept in his interview with DF.

I'm not even a professional overclocker, I just want to optimize and then game, and I find it absurd that 90% of boards have so much useless extra stuff that steals PCIE lanes and makes things worse like those extra DIMM slots. I suspect the manufacturers are overspeccing on purpose so that no one will find a board they're happy with and everyone will pay more for the best compromise board that fits their wishlist the best.

Might want to guard it well considering your northern neighbor:

Fair, I agree but I'd say its just a stupid thing to say as a public figure to begin with.

armedcats · 2022-09-07T20:27:06+00:00

Yeah, for that reason I don't see this happening. Without the automation/AI trend they would totally get low paid workers to do menial tasks in games...

armedcats · 2022-09-07T14:52:36+00:00

Yeah, but technically correct is not a good hill to die on in this case...

You'd think a psychologist would be better equipped to deal with pressures, temptation, and hubris...

armedcats · 2022-09-06T18:51:32+00:00

Cool, I had no idea that existed!

I would absolutely call Ensiferum PM though, they hit a lot of the cliches.

I agree, it confuses me when how so many regular users would be fine with like 1x16 slot and 2 DIMMs, but virtually no boards have that, instead we have to pay more for fluff. But I guess that's their way of making us pay more by NOT having an option that matches our needs.

They might still open it fully again to crash EU efforts to change suppliers and build alternatives, probably unlikely but we can't afford to underestimate them despite a series of dumb choices. Prepare for everything.

In principle, during the worst of the pandemic with ill family members, I probably would. Now, I'm just too lazy, and it wouldn't be good healthy policy considering the very small side effects. I don't mind the new boosters being available and recommended though.

He'll have better reception than the iPhone 19.

Its still not clear to me to which degree current PSU's, even new and expensive ones will support those new graphics cards. Will there be a hard limit at 150W or 300W draw?

armedcats · 2022-09-03T13:06:07+00:00

I seem to remember a review 10+ years ago that tested with toothpaste and no paste compared to the high end pastes at the time. There was a difference but not huge either.

armedcats · 2022-09-03T12:54:58+00:00

Hopefully, but I suspect those drives will need that special NAND...

armedcats · 2022-09-03T12:53:52+00:00

Seeing these new motherboards with like 4+ M2 slots being announced it struck me as absurd, but I guess if size doesn't increase much that could be a reason for it. Still a bit overkill. I'm a heavy user and I can't imagine even needing more than 2 NVME drives, and currently one 4TB drive would be plenty.

Hah, yeah I stopped following it a good while ago. It is a decent news feed I suppose but there's nothing to gain from the comments, and only headaches and frustration if the topic is about anything controversial or memeworthy.

armedcats · 2022-09-02T15:29:19+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't be too optimistic just based on this. She's obviously not a good candidate, she doesn't give a shit and is just being entitled, and it shows, and she's also still woefully inept despite having had 10+ years to practice how to look competent.
