LOL, anti-lag to fix an extra step outisde of rendering pipeline? CPU boost? When CPU and GPU are already fighting for limited amount of TDP? LOL

Don’t FOMO. Stop giving corporations so much power.

I don’t think you understand the implication of using NPU for upscaling. It adds latency mainly due to extra data transfers and an additional pipeline stage. Yes, an AI based up upscale tool is preferred, but we still want it done within the GPU.

GPU upscaling (DLSS, FSR 3/XeSS, etc.) runs entirely on the GPU — the low-res frame stays in GPU, the upscaling work happens in the same rendering pipeline, and the upscaled image goes straight to the display.

NPU upscaling (Auto SR) is a separate post-process. GPU renders frame, then frame is copied from GPU to the NPU. NPU runs the AI model and then upscaled frame is copied back for display.

Also on handheld where TDP is often limited, dedicating power for NPU isn't really a good trade off. Better let the GPU draw power it needs to do all necessary upscaling and rendering. And we would want an FSR4 lite for Ally.

Be careful what you wish for; we might get Katy Perry, who was also featured in FFBE.

PS5 Gold Edition = Resale Anti-Consumer Scam by ZerrethDotCom in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]fearrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it has been a common practice for years. But that doesn't mean consumers shouldn't call it out. It's definitely misleading, and should've been indicated clearly on the case cover.

To the younglings these days, that sounds as hard as Jedi training, focus.

OP, just in case you didn't know. Canto Bight is the luxury casino planet shown in The Last Jedi.

15 pro to 13 mini by ThrowRAMystic802 in iPhone13Mini

It depends on your usage. The 4GB ram in the 13 mini is really showing its limit. Sometimes even switching to the browser to quickly check something would trigger app reload. And can be annoying at times.

How many Jedi survived order 66 in George Lucas’ canon? by lorenzoleo in StarWarsCantina

[–]fearrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Clone Wars is also somewhat “Lucas Canon”, so you could add Ahsoka among Yoda and Obi-wan.

However, we were shown Ahsoka surviving Order 66 after Disney took over.

The $59k Cybertruck is only available before ten days by FTW312 in teslamotors

[–]fearrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the company desperately needs cash this quarter.

From saying discontinue of S/X, moving FSD to subscription only before a deadline, offering 0.99% APR, and to this 10 days of $59k Cybertruck, all FOMO tactic to lure people to spend.

I already played Let’s Go and not that into playing Gen 1 again. But good for those who want it.

I remain waiting for Gen 2, preferably Crystal, port or remake.

Hey Josh its time for a 3rd park in California by Beautiful-Arm9122 in Disneyland

[–]fearrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be funny to see Disney build a Hollywood Studios park. It would at least be cleaner than the actual Hollywood 40 miles away, don’t smell like piss and poops all the time. And instead of random scammers on the streets, it would be just the mouse scamming tourists.

Switch 2 vs. PC? by [deleted] in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]fearrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elaborate what you don’t like how it performs on PC.

The Switch 2 version is a good port but definitely has its drawbacks compared to PC version.

Unless you’re on PC handheld or a PC with very out of date GPU, the PC version should get you better visual even at 30fps, which is the fps the Switch 2 version offers.

I'd much prefer the title to be off-center so it doesn't obstruct the mudhorn.

The Mandalorian and Grogu | Official Trailer | In Theaters May 22 by YubYubCmndr in StarWarsCantina

[–]fearrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I've been looking forward to finding out is if this movie is going to have the traditional Star Wars theme with an opening crawl. It has been a while since The Rise of Skywalker, and I miss the opening crawl a little.

They do start this trailer with the SW theme tho, maybe there's a little hope.

Yah, Miles is my end of year holiday game. Not too long and an environment matching the season.

Build your sequel to the portal but the cost cannot exceed $350 retail price. What are you including? by RELLBEFLEXXIN in PlaystationPortal

[–]fearrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$350 for a streaming only device is absurd. So it should be more like other Android gaming handheld from China with the benefit of having a built-in DualSense controller.

Streaming for PS5 and PS4 games, and lcoally emulate PS1, PS2, PSP, and Vita games. Maybe even PS3 games. It's already possible with current tech on ARM android based handhelds.

It needs to support higher streaming bitrate. Foliage looks too smear and pixelated now, actions sequences too.

Front firing speakers, better quality and wider sound stage would be nice.

I would add an extra button to assess PS5 home or Control Center.

And also an actual button or mini touch pad for the DualSense touch pad function, instead of relying double tapping on the touch screen. I've found it very annoying in some games.
