I think you're right. I forgot the name of that thread otherwise I would have just bumped it.

I bet they will overtake Microsoft as well not too long after. -
videocardz NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus
UltraMega replied to ENTERPRISE's topic in Rumour Mill
I have no doubt Nvidia will continue to skimp on vram on the rest of the 5000 series stack. -

I've had the same experience with betas. They never live very long in my tank. Got any pics of your tank? Thanks. I wish I could take more credit but I don't really do much with it. The plants do all the work. For a long time I had the wooden box that I made as a light fixture. Since my tank is an odd shape, there were no good lighting fixtures I could buy back in the day that would fit well and have enough lighting to work well with plants. But now that LEDs are so prevalent, I got an LED strip that works great with the plants.

Anything non PC related that you're into, post about it here. I have had an aquarium for about 16 years. At this point, it takes care of itself. The plants keep the water clean and the fish poop makes plant food. Currently I have some Kirbensis cichlids that I am trying to breed. They are mouth broaders which means they sometimes carry their young around in their mouth. It's fun to watch when it happens. The angelfish recently died, had it for about 5 years. Pretty long life for an aquarium fish. Current:

I agree that it likely did not happen. Everything I've seen about this lawsuit is pretty vague on details with the accusations. America's Army was a recruitment tool, not marketing for guns. I played it, it was very much not marketing for guns.

techspot Nvidia revenue up 262% year-over-year
UltraMega replied to UltraMega's topic in Journalism & Entertainment
Definitely a good day for Nvidia. -
I've got to imagine there is more at play here behind the scenes than windows simply storing a bunch of unencrypted screenshots locally that can potentially show sensitive information, because that would indeed be stupid.

That's a good point. Almost all school shooters are young men, and most young men play video games. Might as well blame school shootings on porn and McDonalds.

There are always going to be some bad parents out there, and there will always be violence in entertainment. The Uvalde shooter's mom was a drug addict. In a world full of people, some of them are going to be bad. Instead of having an unrealistic expectation that no one will ever want to hurt other people, we just need to make it harder. Waiting periods, background checks, perhaps even a higher age requirement. These are the kind of things that could help fix the problem, and most people left or right agree on that but it always gets blocked by gun lobbying groups. It is weird that people can buy guns before they can legally smoke and drink in the country.

I wouldn't say this is controversial simply because it's so obviously a frivolous lawsuit. If COD is guilty, then so is the entire entertainment industry. Although I suppose if it's true that a gun maker actually used COD as marketing material, that does at least raise an eyebrow.

Thx. I'm not a photo guy. More an auto correct/prediction guy.

Sorry for the multiple posts. Seems to be the only way to upload a ton of high res pics. In the screens above, I have removed chromatic aberration. I could have removed the black bars, but I prefer the cinematic effect. These screenshots are all taken at 95% 4K render res (TSR at 95%) so there is very minimal upscaling. To remove chromatic aberration: Add these lines to your engine.ini file r.NT.Lens.Distortion.Intensity=0 r.NT.Lens.Distortion.Stretch=0 r.NT.Lens.ChromaticAberration.Intensity=0 r.NT.DOF.RotationalBokeh=0 r.NT.DOF.NTBokehTransform=0 Having played with different graphics settings, IMO the best way to play this game is to target 30FPS and as minimal upscaling as you can get away with. For such a cinematic game, 30 FPS is very comfortable.

https://www.techspot.com/news/103121-nvidia-reports-record-revenue-amid-global-ai-boom.html Good news for anyone with Nvidia stock. -
No idea on the name change. Perhaps because the game is really more about Senua than anything else? It ran really well on my system. Max setting with FSR at quality mode. It would mostly run at 60, definitely dipped a bit in the heavier scenes but wasn't too bad. Combat always felt smooth. From what I've seen, a 4090 gets about 45 fps at max settings without upscaling so getting ~60 fps on a 7900xt from going down in res to the highest FSR setting is pretty good IMO.

A few hours in and it's abundantly clear, this game is the best cinematic experience ever made within a video game, by far. Everyone who's interested in the cinematic quality aspects of 3D rendering owes it to themselves to play this game. Can't upload the HDR versions of these screens, so these are darker than they should be: Max settings with FSR3 quality mode:

By my measure, this will be the first major release for a UE5 game that's set to make proper use of UE5's advanced features like lumen and nanite. Really looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Xbox could definitely use a win right now. Note: There is no source for this news post because it is an original post, no source to quote. I will update this post with reviews and analysis as more info comes out. I know we don't usually have news for just one game here, but this is more about the tech and seeing is UE5 can actually deliver a good showing on current gen hardware.
