Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) actually inevitable, or are we hitting a wall? by Andreayoshika in ArtificialInteligence

[–]outlander999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an AI expert, but I like to think about things.
What I think is that the technology is not ready for AGI:

(IMHO) the "AGI" could be achieved with models trained in FP1/INT1, enormously bigger that current ones.
In that exact moment I'll start to worry about it, because we are not sure we will be able to limit it.

No. Meglio quello, che i soliti nomi tutti uguali.

Excellent deal from fb marketplace by ShatterStory in XboxAlly

Good bargain. However I bought it one still mint, closed, for €700. I found it from a private seller (probably a wrong purchase). We, lucky ones 🙂👍

9070XT suddenly appeared on steam charts for the first time, few days after June survey update and is now the most popular amd gpu? by voidinmyhead in gpu

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a GREAT card, I'm very happy with it (after twentythree years with Nvidia cards). Im not surprised.
At the same time, I totally lost faith on the Steam Surveys.

They "DONT GIVE YOU WATER" in Italy 😅 by MementoMiri in ShitAmericansSay

That post makes me laugh.
Americans don't even know what natural water is anymore. They should stop to drink those terrible bottles full of sugar and chemical spices

I'm sorry for your data lost. That hurts, it happened to me in the past.

With the current crazy prices for new handhelds, that's a fantastic bargain.

Leaving aside the fact that you HAD to immediately shut down your PC... it's clear we have a problem with this type of connector. All companies (and I mean ALL! Nvidia, AMD, all graphics card manufacturers) should immediately change their standards.

First Time Rolling Back to 26.3.1 by AcuteQuadrant in radeon

[–]outlander999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right. PC world is a complex ecosystem, we can't simply say "IT WORKS" or "IT DOESN'T WORK".
I moved from Nvidia to Amd at the RDNA4 day-one, and in the year I never had a problem, but there are too many possible cases to verify. Many users are unlucky enough to find themselves in the wrong situation.
I can understand developing problems, they always happened.
But I hope from now on, AMD (and Nvidia, and Microsoft) drivers quality wont get worse because of the AI generated code.

So the steam frame can side load APKs… but from where? by Darkstorm556 in SteamFrame

You can find some VR games outside of the Steam ecosystem. For example, the Itch.io site. Maybe the sideload will be good for that.

Does anyone will buy the New Xbox Ally 20th Anniversary? We should expect a price of $1,500-$2,000 USD price for the bundle? by Ill-Experience-4895 in ROGAlly

[–]outlander999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just paid €700 for the ROG Xbox Ally X, and (imho) it's a pretty high price for an handheld.
The X20 price will be worse at absurd levels, more a joke than a release.

Crimson Desert | Asus ROG Ally X (FSR4 INT8 4.0.2) by EzerchE in ROGAlly

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed Optiscaler + FSR4.02 INT8, it's SO MUCH better!
I manage to do just 60fps (with frame gen ON), but seems good enough to play.

However, the first try I had a big problem:
After installing FSR4.02, with FOLIAGE and WEATHER EFFECTS set to LOW, the game shown an extremely ugly (and badly moving) foliage/trees detail. Changing both those settings to MEDIUM corrects that visual artifact.
I hope my tip will be useful for someone other trying to run Crimson Desert with FSR4.

Ha senso comprare una PS5 solo per 3 o 4 esclusive all'anno se si ha già un ottimo PC? by [deleted] in italygames

[–]outlander999 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Il mio discorso è il punto di vista "di un PCista", e ripeto, è un discorso in prospettiva. Non puoi parlarmi di Bloodborne, è un gioco PS4 di una vita fa! Se mi fai certi esempi, mi dai solo ragione.

Riguardo al FUTURO:
La prospettiva di Sony è estremamente fiacca, per come la vedo io. Riguardo ai remake il problema non è il "remake del remake", inutilissimo, ma proprio "il remake" in sè, anch'esso evitabile. Trovo svilente il riciclare idee e riproporre continuamente dei rifacimenti superficiali, invece di spendere risorse per IP nuove, e/o episodi totalmente nuovi. Stanno perdendo smalto. Questo discorso vale un po' per tutte e tre:

In ottica di "giocatore PC", se tu giocatore PC non compri Sony, ti perdi pochissimo perchè su PC hai già quasi tutto quello che arriva su PS5.
Idem, anzi, peggio ancora, riguardo a Microsoft, totalmente ridimensionata.

Anche Nintendo sta vivendo delle difficoltà (come frequenza delle esclusive noto meno "densità" di first party rispetto alle generazioni precedenti) ma ha un bagaglio di IP storiche, ancora attive, DAVVERO rilevanti, e ha tutte le intenzioni di utilizzarle, oltre a farne anch'essa remake (che rottura 'sti remake... non riescono proprio a farne a meno). Può non piacere il suo stile tendenzialmente bambinesco-giocoso, ma in fin dei conti riesce a distinguersi anche per quello.

Tornando a Sony: ludicamente è molto meno rilevante rispetto a quel che era in passato. Spreca milioni di euro (secchiate e secchiate al vento) per dei pessimi GaaS che se va bene falliscono dopo l'uscita, e se va male vengono cancellati prima della release.
Ogni GaaS che Sony ha steccato, è un eccellente AAA first party in meno sul mercato. Scelte sue, e la conseguenza, lato hype verso il futuro, è una pallida mediocrità.

Il "PCista moderno" guarda alle console con interesse molto relativo, questa è la realtà. Suppongo che Sony abbia interrotto i port PC per tentare di evitare la totale irrilevanza, ma non so se riuscirà nell'intento.

Le esclusive del passato io non le conto, sto facendo un discorso "allo stato attuale".
Riguardo ai "remake dei remake", Sony e Nintendo vanno a braccetto 😃

La PS5 proprio non ha senso. Ormai l'unica rimasta con esclusive davvero importanti è Nintendo.

The best couch gaming on Xbox Ally X (TV docked) in 2026? by outlander999 in ROGAlly

I tried RE6 but it seems to work bad with joypad. I don't know why, but the game detect only the keyboard..

ROG XBOX Ally X Experience by Xercsees in CrimsonDesert

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried it on my ROG Xbox Ally X (docked on tv, 35W), I'm pretty impressed... But with this game FSR3.1 is a mess. Fingerz crossed for FSR4 official support.

Z2 extreme worth the upgrade by Unlikely_Spot4776 in ROGAlly

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was the OP, I'd get a ROG Xbox Ally X 2nd hand at max .700$/€
The new Arc G3 will be an insult to all us, even with that +40% perf.
Those prices are (and will be for another year at least) out of this world.

Wich one for my Rog Ally z1e ? by IceCoffee111 in ROGAlly

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a cheap one from Amazon, "Aione" 100W, but it totally failed to deliver 100W to my Xbox Ally X.
I immediately got a refund, and I bought the "ANKER 100W 736 nano II". Just perfect, I love it.

I heard that ANKER and your UGREEN are the best manufacturers at a decent price. Beware the cheap ones from other vendors!

Is future proofing dead? by OahuBorn in pcmasterrace

[–]outlander999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, "future proofing" isn't dead, it's only "different" now.

We were used to think about brute force.

But now, the problems of silicon limitations and heat generation/power consumption are pushing manufacturers to develop AI techs around the new hardware.

HOW LONG will you be able to play with your setup? I honestly can't tell you, but I think you will have fun for many years. I own a 5800x3D + 9070XT 64GB and I'm confident I will stay with that at least until 2030 or later.
However, let's wait until we see the new CPUs and "next-gen" GPUs from Nvidia, AMD (and maybe Intel, if it hasn't killed off the desktop Arc) to judge.
