I never bothered with extreme cooling past the Athlon 64/FX era, it just didn't make sense to me anymore. For a while I used a Pentium 3 while dual core processors were just coming out because I just wasn't doing much computer stuff. I was just guessing I'd hit 5.5 GHz.

how did you manage the extra 400 watt draw through the cpu, what was your setup

The compressor drew 400 watts, you have to run it 24/7 when the computer is running.

On my 2080 Ti I'm getting 40-45 FPS at 3440x1440. This is the future boys.

Yeah I said this before but NVIDIA missed the boat, nobody cares about 60fps RTX in a competitive shooter game, but this taps directly into the nostalgia of those young professionals who grew up with those titles and now have a bunch of discretionary income to blow on stuff that tickles their nostalgia bone. The best thing NVIDIA can do is to pop over to GOG and offer to hack raytracing/pathtracing into as many old titles as possible for free.

I literally spend more money on GOG than on Steam these days and if they supported RTX then why not?

This is rational, because games peaked in the early 2000s.

I didn't know how much I wanted this until right now. gently caress you.

A proper Descent raytracer would also be cool because of the way Descent handles its geometry - it doesn't give a gently caress about Euclidian space, it's just arbitrarily stitched together distorted cubes.

Nah, still bad. Games haven't hit critical mass for raytracing features yet to make owning one worthwhile, 1440p+ and high refresh is a more compelling argument for high-end Nvidia cards than raytracing still.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Innnnnnnnnteresting. You know what probably happened was I lost track of the game after I saw the kickstarter and was counting on news picking up on its release to come back to it. I'll grab that during the summer sale, thanks!

Tech targeting 60 FPS has like zero interest to me with the difference between 120 FPS and 60 FPS being so great. If they're planning on making the 2080 Ti a 60 FPS card once you turn on all the features I'm even more likely to stick with a 1080 for a generation. Beyond the fastest internet in my area being only 6 mbit Google's new thing only targeting 60 FPS made me not care.

Especially with how the human eye is far more sensitive to luminance than chroma, I can't wait for 400 FPS path tracing when I'm 95 years old.

Google's thing is everywhere, including every PC. But I assume people running a monitor capable of more than 60 Hz are the minority and not the target market for a streaming service that's always going to be input lag challenged.

I'm still trying to figure out who their target market is for that junk. You still have to buy the games, you need a very fast internet connection, and you can only play while connected to that very fast internet which rules out pretty much any public wi-fi. What problem are they solving here?

It's for people to game at work on their iGPUs while their bosses aren't looking.

Considering a 4.5g/lte+ connection isn't quite fast enough for 1080p streaming (IIRC), the superfast internet connection requirement really is a limit...

High refresh rates wouldn’t make as much sense for Stadia anyway. Much of the appeal of 144Hz+ comes from the reduced input latency which wouldn’t be nearly as noticeable when streaming the game because there is so much other latency between the viewer and the engine.

My 4G+ connection reaches between 158 and 188 Mbps down and 45.6 and 48.1 Mbps up on speed tests during the afternoon and midnight respectively. How is that not fast enough for 1080p streaming?
Sure, you'll need an unlimited data plan, but in places with good LTE infrastructure you should be able to game on the go on that. As long as your battery lasts, at least.

Do any carriers in the US even offer 4g unlimited plans that don't throttle the hell out of you once you cross a relatively low barrier? I'd be through my monthly limit in a few days.

Whoops I thought I read before that it was a required 100mbps down for 60fps 1080p but it turns out Google is saying 20. Geforce Now is saying 50.

Are speeds like you get common? That seems incredibly fast to get consistently, your area must have great infrastructure.

I've only spiked over 100mbps for seconds at a time and a consistent dl always slows down to about 30mbps if I'm lucky. Then there's the throttling after data allotment.
