I’m not so sure, the new PS5 coming at the end of the year will support it, Microsoft will be forced to update the XBox platform to even remain in the game, and the upcoming Switch will have Raytracing and all the DLSS goodies.
Expect non ray...
I think there needs to be one big asterisk here. With most games being multiplatform, and consoles using lower end AMD GPUs, ray tracing will probably not become standard for a while. Though I have not been watching console performance much as...
That just means Nvidia can safely tack a 14-25% to their cards for extra profits, but if their cards are exempt from the tariffs, but say AMD (who still has all their manufacturing in China) isn’t what will that potentially do to margins there.
Who makes Nvidia's FE cards? I think Nvidia wouldn't want too big of a gap for the board partners. Unless they plan on gradually phasing them out. Aren't their margins thinning?
Well when the US placed all those restrictions on Nvidia on what they could sell to China it’s easy to forget that those components are made in China.
Subsequently that means that those components can’t enter China for manufacturing, so Nvidia...
It's not even about buying new boats. The freighters are massive for a reason; it's a hell of a lot cheaper to operate a huge freighter bringing stuff across the ocean than it is running multiple smaller freighters.
Microsoft could buy A/B because they make huge amounts of money, but make up a small fraction of the gaming space.
Microsoft buying Valve would create a chokehold on the PC gaming space with the only real competition being Epic.
And we all know...
Yeah for sure it’s easily one of those “they are a monopoly but they haven’t abused their position as a monopoly” situations..
Microsoft doesn’t get that same benefit of the doubt as they have routinely abused their position.
Agreed, though I still think their real value is in effectively owning the PC gaming industry. Valve has every PC developer and publisher by the balls. Count us all fortunate that Valve/Gabe is a benevolent dictator :p . I’d wager that degree of...
No in this case I meant Costco, because for some reason Environmental activists don’t seem to understand how expensive freighters are and you just can’t go out and buy one off the shelf, they are ordered years in advance. And frankly Canada isn’t...
In Canada virtually all electronics get imported through the US ports, so the tariff is applied on landing regardless of where the cards final destination is.
In Canada when the government banned “Tankers” from landing in Vancouver and Montreal...
The fact it’s such a PITA to do regardless makes me sort of happy they didn’t try to create a patch and automate the process. I can only imagine the shit show that would cause.
Where I can though my go to solution has just been to completely...
i know this thread is old so someone might already have said this but i recently noticed this on my parents computer but it's one i built so it doesn't even have a recovery partition. so i just used wushowhide to hide the update and at first it...
You don’t necessarily have to delete it, but you do need to make sure the partition has the correct labeling and ID’s otherwise it doesn’t always get recognized correctly. OEM PC’s are notorious for messing with partitions as well re labeling...
Electronic recycling is big business, as is Landfill reclamation. Lots of valuable minerals and materials found in older landfills.
In North America most old landfills were paved over and turned into urban development projects and housing...
Well revenue is one thing, but what does Valve pay out to developers from that revenue? If Valve does only skim their 20% off the top and assume some 1.5B in first party lootboxes and such then you are looking at less than $3B left for them to...
With studio cuts and team claw backs expect DLSS and RT to only become more necessary. Why spend time and resources manually optimizing textures and lighting when you can leave them raw and let technologies like Nanite, Lumen, Ray Tracing, DLSS...
