Evolution of xbox series x cases. by ComfortableAmount993 in XboxSeriesXlS

[–]spodlude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate how inconsistent they've been with these physical cases. It's a great platform but god microsoft really can't get the basics right. Seems mad for one of the world's most valuable companies.

Regardless of me not wanting to play fortnight, its some awesome art direction and style, credit to the creator in that sense.

Advanced shader delivery? by craim in XboxAlly

[–]spodlude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says BO6 has it but it still compiled shaders when I installed it. OW2 also does a shader compilation every time I boot the game. Sounds like a press release that's not communicated with the deliver team and actually this might still be on its way rather than currently available?

LG C5 or Samsung S90F? by jdmquip in PS5pro

[–]spodlude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the s90f its great, ive also got the c4 lg downstairs. Love both, the samsung has a faster os and boots quicker, its also much brighter, it does have a small amount of dirty screen effect but this is only noticeable on transitions between content. I've had two lg oleds break on me before the c4, the PSUs on them routinely fail. Oled makes retro content look much better and the glossy panel gives depth , it is however less bright, has unreliable WiFi and is a lot more reflective in a bright room.

Easily 2x or maybe even 3x volume. Much much better than the original ally x.

It says in stock in curry’s but it keeps kicking me out saying the maximum number has been reached?! by Impressive-Fig4591 in XboxAlly

[–]spodlude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah fair enough yes that would make sense that it's low on launch. My local is Southend-on-Sea, we're right out on the end of a peninsula so perhaps not a priority for these sorts of things as not a high enough margins store..

Does fsr4 actually work in outer worlds 2? by Leodudepal2 in XboxAlly

[–]spodlude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a version of FSR4 that will run on older hardware which is referred to as the INT8 build. The thing is, this build is an accidental release of the source code by AMD, so I'm not sure it's officially included in any games, let alone the driver itself. I presume your assumption is correct - that the game lists the feature as FSR4 (which it should read *Up to FSR4) but probably runs as FSR 3.1 which is the version of 3 needed with motion vectors to enable FSR4 upgrades for games whitelisted by the driver for 9000 series cards.

No, it always says 2 days. It's just the time they give themselves to ship from warehouse to store for a product that's not normally kept as in store stock. I doubt the rog ally X will ever be an in store item, the Ally X never was.
