I feel much the same with their CPU division. While I don't think anyone needs more than 16 cores... there was a time when nobody needed more than 4. then suddenly, AMD whipped Intel's ass into gear and 8-cores became the norm, and anyone with 4 cores was hurting, BADLY. Software devs LEARNED TO...

Thank you for the correction. I don't think they went to shit immediately at the point of the merger, but rather it marked the peak, and everything from then onward was downhill, each release closer to the minimum-viable-product and "use games to make money" and not "use money to make games"...

I agree with you on every point. Including the point that AMD just lets them win. Every time. It's like on the off chance that they CAN compete, they wait right at the finish line just to let Nvidia run past. Oh, people think this generation of Geforce is WAY too overpriced? And Nvidia...

As soon as they were bought by Activision, only fools kept having faith in them.

Not really. Nvidia does not need any external competition, They've pretty much dominated every market they chose to compete in. I hate monopolies, but even when Radeon was in its prime: Nvidia never had competition. They did not stop innovating and creating the markets and the rules to play...

People buy AMD cards?

Indeed, but it also can do 4k at 240hz if you want to enjoy a game for its graphics. It's the best of both worlds.

MSI has a 480Hz oled model that is probably the best gaming screen ever made.

Reminds me of that time that guy from Blizzard got up on stage and said that he 'admits' to 'not doing the right thing' and never specifically apologizes OR mentions ANYTHING to apologize for, just that "we should do better" in a somber tone and proceeds to do NOTHING to actually rectify the...

Hey, news is slow. I think it's neat, but I agree, it's more mechanical engineering than comouter tech

The temptation to use this to make a custom image for my org is huge, and also known as a CLM... Career Limiting Move

AMD would be incredibly, unfathomably stupid if they didn't support AM5 with modern CPUs for at LEAST 3 REAL generations. The issue is, AMD has been incredibly, unbelievably stupid before....

Says the guy making chips for the companies worth LESS than Nvida....

At work, can't watch the video but damn, I'm curious.

At this point just call it the Xbox 360-2 The 360 was the ONLY successful Xbox console. build on that design philosophy instead of trying to make better-and-better Gamepass subscription machines.

Honestly, the asymmetric core dies was such a disappointment. I really do hope AMD learns from this for future X3D processors.

Spike? more like they're going to go up and remain going up.

I'm all about social justice (like, ACTUAL social justice, not virtue signalling) but I Kind of want to buy this game just to piss off the all the oppression Olympics gold medallists.

every square millimetre of silicon sold as a gaming chip is thousands of dollars lost on not selling it as an AI chip.

No way this could be true... Nvidia doesn't actually care about games anymore.

and remember what the truth of the world is: Nobody cares how, as long as they're winning. Trying harder is only a crime when you lose.

Ah, This is Embracer. I didn't check, to be honest because I could have sworn EA has a publishing deadlock on everything Star Wars™... I guess that contract expired?

Good point on the books, but to be fair, 'Going to the movies' isn't as much as a hobby as 'Home theatre Film Enthusiast' and in the Home theatre space, $10K is a mid-range surround sound system.

As a guy who has talked with customers face-to-face and sold gaming PCs out of a brick-and-mortar store for over a decade: There are some who "just want the best" and will 'sort by price: highest-to-lowest' and add two of the top result to cart. I keep saying this, but PC Gaming is an...

Personally, I think listening to music in Black and White is more moody, especially more subdued tracks. Modern music is best listened to in Colour, in my opinion.

THIS will be the excuse AMD will use to disable AVX-512 on Ryzen. "it's for the environment 😢😢" and not "we don't need to compete with Intel now that they've disabled it, but needed an excuse or else we will get bad press and ruin our 'underdog image' and we can milk professional users to grab...

It's EA... Did you expect something good, with love and care put into it with a great amount of entertainment for the price? If you did, then why? It's EA. "minimum viable product" is their motto.

For gaming in a dim or dark room? OLEDs are literally the best you can get, hands down. Nothing beats them. Motion clarity, responsiveness, contrast sharpness, literally second to none. For watching movies? Browsing the web? Doing work? In a bright room or sunlit area? Well, they aren't optimal.

"So, tell me again, how big is your chip?" Cerebras:

Interesting enough. I'm happy to see any kind of New IP, as long as some love looks put into it.

Justify? No, I hate it. But let's face it, Nvidia is testing just how much people are willing to pay for the fun shiny thing. And other hobbies show that they haven't even touched the limit. Other hobbies industries are already at their limit. If they increased prices by 60%, they'd lose more...

Exactly. Guns are another hobby where $2K is a weekend.

Audiophiles are just ONE example of a hobby where $2000 isn't THAT MUCH. Motorcycles Cars RC Aviation Film/Photography Metal machining landscaping home improvement Camping/4X4 Hunting All of these Hobbies are ones where $2000 is a typical trip to their respective stores. Hell, I've seen...

Sony will charge what people will pay. If they don't, people won't pay. If the people do pay, Sony was justified. If the people don't pay, Sony will lower the price until they do. That's how pricing works, BTW. If a game is cheap, it's because it HAS to be. If its expensive, it's because it...

Computers are a cheap, CHEAP hobby. $2000 is a small price to pay for any kind of motorcycle or car part. Hell, Hi-Fi audiophiles and home-theatre enthusiasts will spend waaaay more on a single speaker, of which they'll buy 5-7 of. So yeah, the kind of money people are willing to spend on a...

literally asked Bing AI to write a press release about an imaginary company integrating AI into its products. no description of its products: "ARD, a trailblazing technology company, is proud to announce a groundbreaking milestone: the seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into...

In the end: if people keep spending that kind of money, Nvidia isn't going to stop them. Imagine if you offered a product, and no matter how many you produced, no matter how much you charged for it... you sold every single one. Now imagine you have millions of people watching your every move...

I'm not exactly hurt about a terrible game being terribly optimised. All of the games that are great, generation-defining hall-of-fame status are usually a bit more frustrating when they don't optimise well, but also, its more rare for a genuinely good game to be terribly optimised.

While I agree that some games aren't well optimised, there ARE "medium" settings for a reason. If a 2024 game's "Medium" looks as good as a 2020 games "Ultra", it makes sense that it would run the same, Right? But more importantly, I agree that We need more sub $300 cards. I swear, we're...
