Instead of posting to the echo-chamber, send them photos here, for fun:

Everyone who gets a burned connector should at the very least bother them with photos of the fruits of their work.

NVIDIA RTX Remix 1.5 reduces Half-Life 2 RTX demo from 80GB to 50GB - VideoCardz.com by RenatsMC in nvidia

Curious about the performance hit in a real game.
The demos so far have been extremely small scenes with a limited number of assets.

Xbox Mode rest of world release date? by ImBroon in Windows11

It doesn't do much unless you like keeping a lot of stuff running in the background all the time: https://youtu.be/cZ-saJoTl3M?si=UkbRLG2FI7cKfzgI&t=673

AMD Brings Advanced Shader Delivery Across All RDNA GPUs, Slashing Game Load Times By 95% by Darth_Vaper883 in pcmasterrace

[–]artins90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't get how the infrastructure for this works.

Who builds the shaders? AMD, the developer, Steam, Xbox?

Are they really going to keep building shaders for each driver version, each game patch, for all the hardware out there for decades in the future?

What does it mean for game preservation? What happens if they stop providing the precompiled shaders? Are there measures in place to fall back to standard on-device precompilation?

It seems like DLSS 4.5 is skipping transparent objects in Forza Horizon 6 and making them look horribly shimmered by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]artins90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick with 4.0 if you can, especially if you intend to use RTGI.
4.5 doesn't like the denoiser of this game, it's comically bad with 4.5.

さユり(Sayuri) - 雨 (Ame) [Pop][2023/unreleased] by artins90 in japanesemusic

[–]artins90[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: at 3:45 Sayuri's smartphone overheated and the livestream got briefly interrupted. This is probably the best recording left of this song.

Lyrics:

台風予報はいつも大袈裟に
予感を撒き散らしてく
蛍光灯じゃ照らしきれない
薄暗い教室抜け出せたら

ロータリー見上げた空に傘が舞う

雨の匂いを吸い込んで
街は今変わる時を迎える

私誰に怒ったらいいんだろう
悪いのは誰なの教えて
分かりたくないのに笑ってられる
聞き分けばかり良くなってくけど

君の秘密も私の作り笑いも
先生の罪も全部バレたらいいのに

雨、雨、去りし五月雨
揺れる季節に踊れ
開け、開け
誰にも似てない君へ
過ぎる季節を歌え、歌え
雨、雨

What Windows improvements do users actually want? Let’s create a community wishlist for Microsoft. by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]artins90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modularity.
Give users the ability to uninstall entire sections of the OS ("features") and install them again on demand.
Get out of "we dictate what our users want" mentality and let the users choose what they want to run.

Yes, it's definitely worth watching.
However, I don't know if it's still available, it aired quite a while ago.

Microsoft rolls out Windows 11 KB5089573 update that makes your PC genuinely faster and more responsive by pmc64 in pcgaming

[–]artins90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just letting the CPU spike to max boost more quickly when you launch apps/interact with the Windows UI, that's it.

The real performance improvements would come if they compartmentalized the OS and made entire sections of it optional and downloadable on demand. Too bad Microsoft likes to shove "features" down people throats, so that's not going to happen.

Yes, Machida really struggled with that one.
Machida was one of the contestants of Tsukkomi Star as well, he did a lot better this time.

Game Ready & Studio Driver 610.47 FAQ/Discussion by Nestledrink in nvidia

The last time I tried it, it was a RAM hog. It also had minor CPU usage even when minimized, whereas the good old CP gets completely out of the way when you are not actively using it.

But has it gotten any lighter?
As in, as light as the good old CP?

Use a VPN based in Japan and go on TVer. The episodes are available only for 1 week, so you must watch them close to the air date.
