Oh right, well that seems fair enough
"The Free tier is limited to one hour, Priority subscribers can play for up to six hours per session, and Ultimate subscribers get eight hour sessions. There is no set limit to the number of sessions you can start in a day. The free tier also doesn’t feature “RTX On,” Nvidia’s term for ray-tracing and DLSS support.
There’s a priority component to the tiers, too, as Nvidia places limitations on the overall process and user loads on GeForce Now’s regional data centers. Free members have the lowest priority in connecting to the service, which can mean waiting in line to connect to a rig at times. Priority and Ultimate have priority access to the queue, with Ultimate members getting access to systems that provide up to RTX 4080 GPUs (where available, as this support is rolling out in phases).
Beyond those varied limitations, GeForce Now advertises up to 1080p at 60 frames-per-second gameplay for its Priority members, and up to 4K at 120fps for PC/Mac and 4K HDR on Shield TV for its RTX 4080 members.
In the United States, where this review was done, the membership plans cost the following:
Free
Priority: $9.99/month or $49.99/6 months
Ultimate: $19.99/month or $99.99/6 months"

Honestly, these past few months, and even last couple years have been really good for gaming. Sure, not every PC port is in good condition. Refer to Digital Foundry recent reviews for, Callisto Protocol, Dead Space, that Square Enix RPG, The Last of Us, RedFall. But still, there are a lot of GOOD quality games. Whether triple A or indie.
I've probably never played as much games in my adult life (6-8hrs a week) as I do now.
Since the pandemic started, I've been playing....
- Hades (PC + Switch)
- Resident Evil Series (Remakes 2, 3, + new entries 7, and 8.)
- Catching up on Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Elden Ring (PC)
- Inscryption (PC)
- Doom Eternal (PC)
- Hitman 3 (PC)
- Pentiment (PC)
- Streets of Rage 4 (PC + Switch)
- TMNT: Shredders Revenge (PC + Switch)
- God of War 2018 (PC)
All of those titles are past couple years. This year with titles like Dredge, RE4 remake, Tears of the Kingdom...
Hell, the next month has 3 absolute bangers: FF XVI, Diablo IV, SF VI.
Horizon Zero Dawn isn't bad either.

So,when AI is running chat bots and people are talking to their new "girlfriend" will they be considered "good" bots or "bad" bots? Or will it depend on what they're willing to do in the conversation? Congress has nothing better to think about....

WWW.CNBC.COM
Google's hefty investments in artificial intelligence will be on display at its annual developer conference this week.Wait, the Google doctor is correct 85% of the time? Does that leave them liable to malpractice lawsuits the other 15%? lol, My niece has been in the Hospital for the last 2 months while the doctors try to figure out what all's wrong with her, was she a test subject for Google Doctors?

Microsoft Tests Sticking Ads in Windows 11 Settings Menu
GIZMODO.COM
Early Windows 11 beta features show Microsoft really wants users to try 365 and OneDrive, bombarding them with messages in the Start and Settings menus.Bing search on the xbox also has the 365 ads blowing up all over and outlook mail has it also even in W10.
They've become an ad ho. The wife was reading 1 of her xbox live emails and it even had the 365 ad embedded there.

OMG! I can see it now. A person goes to HR to report a sexual harassment issue and the AI will be asking them what they did to deserve it and telling them they might as well go home and kill themselves because they are useless to the company and will only cost it more money because of lawsuits.

You also have to realize that the coding for the games on console and pc is vastly different. If it wasn't, you wouldn't get the poor ports to pc that crash & burn and have worse fps until 17 patches have been released.
That's the only reason the previous gen amd apu in the consoles is able to make the games look as good as it does.

Remember also, the xbox1 used an AMD APU It features a custom AMD Durango GCN 1.0 that's on a 28nm chip. The nearest amd & Nvidia cards used 6 or 8GB of memory on them. The AMD Scarlett is the GPU inside the Xbox Series X, and it was built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture on a 7nm production process. That right there covers why the consoles were able to jump the amount of vram they are using.

And here's another part of the reason we get people migrating to this site from OCN once they know about it.....
This was in my notifications TODAY
The problem is that they were for things from back in 2020....
And people wonder why VerticalScope has a poor rep in regards to keeping stuff updated?

...apart from the crypto issues, there is also the recent Covid situation which resulted in a lot of folks upgrading their home systems and/or components. That said, NVidia's real money maker is the enterprise / AI segment. Still, the RTX 4K release has been a bit weird - 4090 release prices were oriented on the 3090 Ti MSRP (before its price crash and subsequent inventory glut), and the 4090s very quickly sold out after release. IMO, the 4090 had raised expectations for the whole RTX 4K line re. price/performance, yet the debacle with the two 4080s (one since rebranded as 4070 Ti) and their biggish performance gap to the 4090 didn't help. Given some of NVidia's, uhm, business practices, a fair number of reviewers also were ready to pounce...
I just checked, and my 4090 AIB model is still at the same price (~US$1,619) at the same retailer as it was last October, but some of the more expensive / 'premium' 4090s and most 4080s seem to experience some price drops, and the OP is obviously about the just-released 4070 price drops as well.
Re. the whole RTX 4K palette in general, the line's DLSS3 / FrameGen / NVReflex make a far bigger difference (where available in apps) than most folks think. It actually delayed my mobo / CPU / RAM upgrade from a Ryzen 5950X / Asus DarkH setup, it is that good...about 80% of my admittedly smallish time budget for games involves DLSS3 / FrameGen / NVReflex apps, and I play exclusively at 4K.
lol, maybe we should just say "Nvidia's PREDATORY practices" instead of business practices....

Or Nvidia will just reallocate wafers to server/data center/AI products and keep prices as is.
Retailers on the other hand might drop prices.
At this stage, I am seeing too many situations where high supply and low demand is not actually resulting in lower prices. See: housing markets, graphics cards.
even used cars are selling for more then they should.

An older game, free on Epic this week is Dying Light. They're giving away Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition which has all the dlc from the first year and the season pass content. So if anyone hasn't played it yet and want's it before playing Dying Light 2, it's a good way to get it.

I also haven't had any later models after wifi5, but I DID switch from linksys to a netgear, and while the netgears connection was better, I saw an actual drop in speed even though it was rated for higher speeds. Now I'm using the Cable companies modem with the built in wifi 6 and have much faster speeds but random drops/disconnects.

(sigh) combine it with an AI engine and we'll have skynet for sure....

Maybe use the SteamOS in a dual boot on the older systems?

Might give U a hint what to look at/for.

I had tried a few different BIOS's on the ASRock board. I also had tried a variety of settings, and figured it was the board, hence replacing the board. On the current Asus B450M-AII board its on, I haven't touched the BIOS yet. It's all defaults / PBO / XMP.
I DID, however, try changing RAM down to 3000 from 3200 last night after making this post. The machine hasn't crashed as of yet. So, its made it a full sleep cycle for me without freezing. That's actually progress!
I'm running a 2700x on a x470 board. the bios updates are kinda whack with these including some that have certain extra's needed for 3rd gen ryzen cpu's to be able to use all 4 mem slots right, maybe they also effect ealier cpu's if running later bios without the "added" stuff being run? Including a shot of the relevant bios updates & info for my gigabyte board so U can get an idea of what I mean.

Just scored a Dell E248WFP (1920x1200 / 60Hz / TN Panel) for $16.
Also scored a set of 2.1 Altec Lansing VS4121 speakers for $19. Only had to open the subwoofer up and dig out all the rat poop and toys stuffed into the subwoofer....seriously had no clue it was THAT gross inside. Whatever, its cleaned out now. Looks fine on the outside. They WORK fine. Yay. Do not recommend these speakers, but they will go nicely with one of my vintage builds, so that's why I bought them. They're not HORRIBLE bad, but they're far from good too.
On that note, there was another deal I couldn't pass up at the thrift store. There was a "chinsey" set of speakers sitting on the shelf, still brand new in the box. I absolutely had to try them. AVol AS200's. I can't seem to find anything about them online, but found a few auctions that sold them years ago for under $5. I paid $28 for them. Definitely steep, but....they're so amazingly crap, they were worth the money just because of that fact. They're literally a $9.99 brand new pair of 2000 era speakers from Ali-Express or something. They sound exactly as you'd expect, and because of that.....they're quite lovely. Yes, they suck....but you expect that.For my 2.1 speaker needs I use 2 different sets of creative powered speakers I got used years ago. 1 actually from a dumpster where I lived at the time because the speaker wires had been chewed.
I replaced the rca cables and bought a stereo speaker plug to hook it up to the speaker output on my comp and it worked great. The set I bought new were $39.99 (I think) and over the years the volume controller has gotten where it shorts makes noise in the speakers when it's adjusted. (It's a cheaper set than the dumpster recovered set). Sound is still pretty good though.

First Xbox titles for GeForce Now announced, following 10-year deal pledge
in Gaming General
Posted · Edited by schuck6566
Clarification,seperation
Gears 5, Deathloop,Grounded,Pentiment are on the way,so nobody can say that Xbox will have a Gamepass monopoly on streaming games(cough,Playstation,cough)
Also, for those not familiar with GeForce Now, they have 3 tiers.
Free that has a 1 hour play time limit and then you have to get back into the server queue and wait to play another hour.
Priority gives you 6 hours before you have to log out and log back in but also has "Priority" in the queue over Free subscribers offers up to 1080p at 60 fps and cost $9.99 a month /$49.99 for 6 months.
Ultimate gives you 8 hours of gaming before needing to log out and log back in with "priority"access in the queue offers up to 4K at 120fps for PC/MAC and 4K HDR on the Nvidia Shield TV and cost $19.99 a month/$99.99 for 6 months Ultimate members get access to systems providing RTX 4080 gpu experience but may revert to RTX 3080 if the former isn't available. For a full run down, see this article where most of this info came from.
