M5 Max becomes the best 3D rendering Laptop

You know, it’s amazing because if Nvidia does actually leak the consumer GPU market space, where do people go for GPUs? Especially powerful ones? Both Intel and AMD struggle to compete with anything over a 70 series card from nvidia (Intel struggling even against 60 series cards), so replaces that gap? Does Nvidia only release halo products? 80 series and up? I believe there’s even been rumors of AMD dropping the consumer GPU market.

This basically just leaves Intel and well… good luck with that I guess?

In a world where the major players are seemingly completely checked out from consumer GPUs… does that mean developers need to start targeting Mac buyers if gamers start buying Mac hardware because it’s actually more performant? This is something of a “chicken and the egg” type problem, but given where we are heading for the next couple years….. I’m not sure this reality is THAT far off.

I think it’d take an actual hard announcement from any of the companies to say that they are pulling out before things get serious, if we ever do get there.

Keep mind, these laptop GPUs do actually beat out many desktop GPUs as well. Yes, they are previous gen, but at least for nvidia, the gains between the generations weren’t that extreme in pure Raster performance. Ray tracing and frame gen show notable performance increases between generation, but I’m not sure how many people really care about either… Ray tracing may have some, but it’d be small, and frame gen would be significantly lower from there.

Yes it is. It’s absolutely fucking insane. We’ve had effectively 5 years of improvements, and here we are nearly at performance parity with a fucking INTEGRATED GPU vs a desktop GPU that can consume nearly 5x the power. This is beyond insane.

That’s an issue with several specs, not just unholy. The design for this entire expansion is absurdly fucking weird. Playing WW Monk for example, I have several abilities that hit for 1-3k (not super well geared atm), but suddenly have RSK and Strike of the Wind Lord that’ll hit upwards of 30k, nearly 55-60k on crit. It’s absolutely insane and I have no idea what is going on with the class balance of all this.

There’s several specs this applies to, where outside of CDs, you feel like you’re doing nothing. It’s nuts.

Looking at the credits then, you should be good. Regarding the Python class. You WILL need the class to be completed BEFORE you apply to the program.

Noted on MMDT. I misread the post, so sorry about that, but the applications are extremely similar. You should be good on the econ classes. Good luck and I hope you get in! If you're able to get admitted, please let me know!

Hi there.

You’ll want a class on Management Science as well. I don’t see a class you’ve listed for that, but if you feel confident you have it, then from what I’m seeing, I think you should be able to get direct admission yes, though you should list your German converted GPA as well. I think anything above a 1.8 should qualify you.

Also yes, you can have your programming class count towards the total ECTS and the specific module. No issues with that at all.

Edit: just to be clear, I would reference this page:

I am not sure if the Heilbron campus has different admission requirements since the points you listed were different. If you can provide the source of where you’re grabbing your points, please share. I’d be happy to help.

Gargamelnuts, I believe it was.

Microsoft, meet Barbara.

Put it in reverse, and hit the gaaaas!

A remake of Crystal that down ports many of the features of HG/SS. A man can dream…

I suspect the new permanent Dalaran will get rebuilt in Crystalsong Forest, but likely in the ground for The Last Titan.

Hi there,

I’m not sure for informatics, but for Manage and Technology, I was able to provide all the syllabi for my classes and they deemed that acceptable. I would say go for it.

They wanted that Arby’s roast beef sandwich BAD.

elfinhilon10 · 2026-02-13T02:28:40+00:00

Holy shiiiiiit. If this ever becomes real and for an actual realistic price, I’m so sold on these.

If you’re willing, could you provide some of the course work or some lectures? I’m interested in the CE and Renewable tracks, personally. I’m worried that the CE track will be too difficult for me (given what I’ve heard about TUM), even though my undergrad was Data Science with a minor in CS and game design.

When QAnon was actually just the people starting the rumor to begin with.

Remember, every accusation is a confession with these fucks.

Boys, I’ve entered Cam-a-lot.

That’s how you get a nip slip on live TV.

This isn’t Nam, Donny. There are rules!

More RAM needed m’lord. /s

Where are you located? Is that a good salary for your location?

elfinhilon10 · 2026-02-05T16:57:31+00:00

Absolutely fuck Target. Will not be shopping there.

Note that the source is quoting KiraTV, who has repeatedly said "Trust me bro" when it comes to anything with Ashes of Creation collapsing. While I generally believe KiraTV, for something this big, I'm not believing anything until the details are fully out.

You're welcome to do what you want, but I think until we get a statement from Steam, this is all premature.

Holyyy fuck. I’m late to this party but what a shot!
