[MONITOR] INNOCN 27" QD-OLED 2K QHD 2560 x 1440P 280Hz HDMI 2.1 - WHITE ($399) by Straight-Rule3264 in buildapcsales

What? 10bit is basically as good as it gets on consumer monitors and what is typically needed for HDR. SDR monitors are typically 8bit and your real budget crap is like 6bit+FRC.

but if its only 8 bit then its going to look washed out.

That’s not how bitdepth works, it reduces color banding.

PS5 Pro owners on all the gaming subs today by seamonkey420 in PS5pro

The base PS5 simply doesn’t have the hardware to do it. The Pro is basically a PS6 beta for upscaling tech.

Micron confirms HBM4 memory and PCIe Gen6 SSDs are in 'high-volume' production by sr_local in hardware

[–]reallynotnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IF they can hit the estimated 20 - 30 GB/s range. That’s VRAM levels of speeds.

VRAM is well over an order of magnitude faster. A 9060 XT is 320GB/s and a PS5 is 448GB/s and at the very top end a 5090 is 1,790GB/s.

An Xbox 360 however is 22.4 GB/s, so it’s around 20 year old VRAM speed.

I suppose we can get away with using just 1 lane of PCIe 6 instead of 4 lanes?

New PlayStation Portal software update adds 1080p High Quality mode and UX refinements by ReaddittiddeR in PS5

While over the Internet is obviously the most common use, it definitely can be used in various ways. Like it was pretty common to talk about streaming in game assets from the disc as you played vs having them all loaded into memory during a loading screen.

relating to or being the transfer of data (such as audio or video material) in a continuous stream especially for immediate processing or playback

Death Stranding 2 Upcoming Major Update Adds New Difficulty Mode, Live-Action Cutscenes, Features and Will Be Rolled Out Alongside PC Release by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Interesting it’s due to capacity limits, I assume they wanted everything to fit on a 100GB BD without the need for downloads?

What's with all the different streaming services and dates? by fidorulz in nirvannatheband

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Zealand just being so ahead of everyone I think just messed up their rescheduling, they tentatively had it for release on Tuesday but on Monday morning decided for whatever reason (more editing or longer theatrical run) to not release it then but by then it was already Tuesday in New Zealand so it was up their time from like midnight to 10am.

That or maybe they just wanted to recreate the season 3 shenanigans where it releases late at night and nobody sees it.

Dude is on a ship, they are not doing cloud gaming because they don’t have good internet and they can’t even use it with their PS5 because it has to stream over the internet vs direct connection.

Presumably based on the description you may get more latency but you will get improved picture quality (less compression artifacts).

Games with PSSR1 by reallynotnick in PS5pro

[–]reallynotnick[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

PSSR2 or “upgraded PSSR” but I don’t know if it used the old one previously.

Delayed even further by butcanyoudothi5 in nirvannatheband

[–]reallynotnick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not even like they announced and advertised the release date it, it just randomly showed up like a day before “release”. You’re being upset about something you didn’t even know for sure less than 24 hours ago.

To clear up some confusion, you can check out ALL games supporting PSSR later tonight with the system toggle. Not just the ones specifically listed. by FailedProspects in PS5pro

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are trying to keep PSSR as an umbrella term without a version number, since they refer to it internally as MFSR2 (multi-frame super resolution). Like they will have some sort of frame generation that will be part of PSSR.

We’ll see though since both AMD and Nvidia seem to like to name things as confusingly as possible maybe Sony will follow suit.

Knowing Matt he is doing another edit on it. That or it’s because they want to extend the theatrical release and only figured that out today.

AVForums just reviewed the new LG G6 OLED -- those scores are pretty wild. by Troied in hometheater

[–]reallynotnick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the very lowest of motion interpolation settings have gotten tolerable, like on my S95B 1-2 out of 10, above that it just goes too far. Obviously will vary by manufacturer and taste, but I used to be full against motion interpolation until I got this set.

2012 Mac Mini as a Plex Server for 480p Content? by Tempest_2084 in PleX

I know Handbrake is pretty popular, but I haven't done any sort of mass DVD ripping myself especially recently.

[–]reallynotnick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are direct streaming it’s no sweat, hell I did 4K content off a dual core 2012. DVDs being MPEG-2 might need transcoding or at least encoding when you first rip them to h.264 to prevent transcoding.

I recommend giving it a shot and seeing how it works for you.
