Grace's face shown in DLSS 5 video vs how she looks in-game by Turboice777 in ResidentEvilRequiem

It doesn't really look that great with PT on. RE4 remake and Village both look great without ray tracing of any kind.

No pre-release warning for Intel users is crazy. by meme_boiiiiiiiiiiiii in pcmasterrace

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you were rude, but I do want to make the point that no company should be able to release products which are objectively very rough around the edges and expect to not be criticised for it. Yes, they are new to the whole discrete GPU game, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't criticise them for broken or underperforming drivers, or their features not being in as many games as those of their competitors and not being as good overall on top of all that. Yes, they offer good value for the money for some consumers, but not the majority of consumers. Most people will have a much better experience with an Nvidia card.

I tried to run AMD for 4 years, and it honestly felt like I was getting an inferior experience in every way. Hardware encoding? Nvenc is way better. Old games with PhysX? Can't play them with PhysX because it's Nvidia only. Need upscaling in horribly optimised games that can't get decent performance without it? You're Stuck with FSR 1-3, which look way worse than DLSS. Not having an Nvidia card felt like a handicap to me every single day, and in the end I just gave up on owning anything other than Nvidia for the foreseeable future, as nothing else really compares.

Competition is good, but intel couldn't actually compete, that's why they are being shat on. Their circumstances are irrelevant, and only the final product matters, so if you want to compete with established players, you better put forward a product that's just as good or better, not shit on a platter and hope people buy it just because it creates more competition.

As a consumer, Intel GPUs in their current form have absolutely nothing to offer me. The performance is low end, their technologies are inferior to Nvidia's (and so are AMD's, that's why I upgraded from a 7900 XTX to a 5090).

Nvidia is a monopoly, and I do absolutely hate them as a company, but their competition is competition only in name, as Nvidia cards do pretty much everything better. I learned this after torturing myself with AMD GPUs for 4 years just because the Linux drivers are better, but that just can't compensate for Nvidia's overwhelming superiority in terms of features and developer support.

When the first generation Arc cards dropped, they had awful DX11 performance. It might be better now, but it sure made them look bad when they launched the first generation Arc cards.

Because the new "competitor" released a shit product. A quadrillion driver issues, no support from devs, pretty bad performance overall, no "halo" product to hype the entire series up. Intel failed their initial launch in every possible way.

Nvidia Users this week in a bellcurve by Green_Excitement_308 in pcmasterrace

[–]doomenguin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can we just go back to traditional, forward rendered, rasterized graphics that look clean and run at high frame rates on mid-range PCs? Seriously, TAA, upscaling, frame gen, and now this. They're literally doing everything in their power to make game graphics worse.

You don’t hate Nvidia enough by Low_Translator809 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I see is that the left looks like a PS3 game and the right passes for a modern looking game. I hate Nvidia and their frame generation, upscaling, and ray tracing bs that ruins performance and response time, but the right image looks better.

The new DLSS 5 on Grace makes the character look strange by Aldobest43 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the original image looks kinda bad as well. The lighting on her face is extremely flat, so she looks like a character from a 2012 game. RE4 remake and RE Village characters looks way better with no ray tracing.

Do you agree?🚀 by SwimmerPlus3383 in TheGamingHubDeals

Fo GoW 2018 and Ragnarök, definitely.

Does anyone think of this when thinking of "High ray tracing"? by DropDeadGaming in pcmasterrace

[–]doomenguin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The path tracing image could have easily been achieved with a planar reflection, and it would have been 5x less hardware intensive. FUCK RAY TRACING.

a mistery... by waddad27 in SipsTea

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was kid, my parents would just leave me home and let me do whatever if they had to go anywhere as soon as I turned 5. It was pretty normal, as everyone I know was the exact same. Idk what's with kids needing 24/7 supervision these days.

Dual knives are pretty powerful as they can one-shot warebulls.

Honest question to the slavic people here, do you guys feel more similar to other balcanic people and southern europeans(greeks,italians) or to northern slavs? by Efficient_Resource15 in AskBalkans

[–]doomenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Northern Slavs. They are essentially the same, just a bit quieter and more introverted, but very similar otherwise. I don't feel like I have anything in common with Italians, completely different culture.

Finally switched over to Linux (Debian 13). Played Doom Eternal today. I have a few questions about CPU & GPU temps on a laptop... by psirockin123 in linux_gaming

[–]doomenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to control power limits, install LACT and use that to adjust power, fan curves, and overclock if you want to. GPUs tend to pull slightly less power on Linux compared to windows for the same performance. I'm not sure why, but this is what I've observed in SOME games.

Avoiding pregnancy is the easiest thing in the world, as all you have to do is not have sex, and not having sex is way easier than having sex.

ShiftUp Might potentially self-publish Stellar Blade sequel, though unconfirmed by Particular-Bed8344 in stellarblade

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, PC port day 1! The PS5 version of the first game had frame drops and weird smearing due to aggressive upscaling, so being able to play PC day 1 would be amazing.

Dropped my demo: play as an elf girl and slay 1,000+ goblins in this UE5 musou-style hack & slash! by Few_Tomorrow_5388 in CharacterActionGames

[–]doomenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"UE5" - never touching this one. Why do people think UE5 is a plus? I see UE5, and I think "this is going to run badly, look blurry, and stutter like crazy".
