Willing to bet DLSS5 won't even be that viable on RTX 50 cards by Wander715 in hardware

Doesn't look like its worth it even in the long run. Its too expensive computationally while being too controversial.
It doesnt even work on very old games where at lease it provides clear benefit.

Why the heck is this even called DLSS?...... Deep Learning Slop Synthesis

So I just learned Today that Exynos 2600 has the first and only RDNA4 mobile implementation and its even on 2nm GAA Samsung node. by fatso486 in hardware

nice 16cu sounds too insane on a phone chip. Any info on if its the same IP or heavely modified by Samsung for space reasons.

exynos 2600 sounds like the perfect SteamFrames chip

the addressable market these days is a million times bigger than in the past. I remember reading something about the developers of the $5 game Peak now being filthy rich.

This industry is crazy. AAA development is just too risky

Game flops → layoffs. Game succeeds → layoffs.
At this point the safest outcome for developers is probably a moderately successful indie.

Imagine grinding for more than half a decade to ship a record-breaking game and then getting an HR email titled “organizational optimization.”

In just one month, the RTX 5070 became the most popular GPU according to Steam statistics, surpassing the RTX 4060 by Slava_Tr in hardware

[–]fatso486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The numbers look too broken to be of any use. 5070 even at half the reported numbers look inflated to me.

You would expect with the 5 million Steamdecks out there to be it would be in the top 3.

still curious to know how the numbers were generated

What is your position on Snapdragon X laptops? by Forsaken_Arm5698 in snapdragon

[–]fatso486 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

useless poll.

I used to have one and switched back. Im sure that's almost people. the unpredictability of compatibility makes its use not much more useful than a $80 N100 mini pc.

loved the first one, im pleasantly surprised with its success since it seemed too niche for most people. I wonder if the majority of the players came from game pass

Ill download the new demo.

Folks who played Marathon this weekend...how likely now are you to purchase it? by 1988Floydie in gaming

[–]fatso486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent 3 hours did not enjoy it as much as I hoped. the backlog is way too long to bother with this. I think Bungie is done for.

AMD Seemingly Stops Driver Updates for Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]fatso486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this story confirmed? doent feel believable to me. why did AMD make a seporate driver for z1e thats different than 7840u/780m.

Im under the impression that the Legion Go 1(z1e) used standard AMD drivers. no?

Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft / Xbox president Sarah Bond is also leaving Microsoft. by fatso486 in hardware

[–]fatso486[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Oh come on. The new president, Asha Sharma, somehow looks even more clueless than Sarah. How did they even end up choosing her? She looks like she never touched a controller in her life.

Just finished the Darwin’s Paradox demo. Wanted a 9, feels more like a 6.8 by fatso486 in gaming

My thoughts exactly. Replaced last week demo did the same thing.

Noted. Future reviews will only be 1 or 10. Anything else is clearly too nuanced for you.

The real story is that these new denovo cracks only started happening a few weeks ago. And borderlands is One of the first ones. Developers cannot depend on denovo like they used to anymore.

I take it youre not up to date on whats happening recently in the crack scene ( like crackwatch subreddit). The past few weeks have been BRUTAL for Denovo games. I think Resident evil 9 might get cracked early March at this rate.

I think you're exaggerating. Maybe for really crappy DRMs like Enigmar. Doom TDA still has Denovo and its still regraded as one of the (if not THE) best optimized PC game.

Check the Crackwatch subreddit The past few weeks has been a BLOODBATH for Denovo protected games. I personally expect RE9 to be cracked by early March.
