Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:it's not the first game to do this, others have done the same thing but with bars you fill up or whatever. this is just the first to do it with the numbers exposed, which i guess might make people think about the options differently (like stat distribution in a game) Rdr2 pc had an x/y gb of vram bar and numerical readout that changed as you tweaked options. Didn't mention the cpu tho.

Showing VRAM allocation is pretty common. Most Ubisoft games have it.

GTA V as well. It’s the reason why I upgraded my 1060 3gb to the 6gb model.

Weird there’s also no signs of me buying any product AMD makes in the next decade. It’s weird how those two things are going to be just so very connected to each other.

It is absolutely not a product I have any interest in. I’m sure it’s lovely but I don’t want one and I wouldn’t use it if I had one. Every good thing doesn’t have to be liked and wanted by every person.

I think it depends on how nice your home set up is. Like the school I work at purchased me a really expensive laptop with a GPU and I put overwatch on it. It runs great and the kids during lunch we’re talking about how it’s so much better than their home set up. Meanwhile to me it it’s like playing on literal garbage with the poo poo keyboard, and poo poo screen, the poo poo graphics card, and I would never consider using it. Granted, those are fast action first person shooters. Im sure BG3 is better, but id rather have that on the big screen tv anyway.

I have a desktop with a much better screen and like 50x the power but, when I'm winding down for the night, or when I'm bored at the dealership or wherever waiting for my car to get tires replaced, or in the airport, or any other manner of places or situations, the Steam Deck is just lovely to use.

I would much rather stream my desktop to my phone with Moonlight / Parsec. I played Magic Arena before it was released on phones that way. If you have the pocket space for a Switch/Deck then you could probably carry a bluetooth gamepad that clips a phone in. If you're on wifi somewhere the latency can be nearly imperceptible on fancier games too. Most importantly the phone can still last for hours since streaming is quite efficient.

The whole "paying companies to not use DLSS or RTX" thing is such a perversion on all sides. I am curious though; how much money is AMD paying for something like Starfield to adopt this model? Do we know anything about how these agreements work, or is that all still behind closed doors? There has to be a major incentive here of some type because it is a huge net loss in goodwill from everyone but, what? The people who genuinely laugh at the thought of Nvidia users not getting their toys? I'm sure the 12 children who really think like that are thrilled...? The market dynamics of denying key features to like 85% of pc gamers because someone with 10% of the market paid you to is just so bizarre. The closest analogy is Sony paying for exclusives, but this... isn't that. It's basically forcing a subpar experience on the vast majority of the PC player base - especially on financially disadvantaged gamers, for the record, who benefit greatly from DLSS and in many cases need it to achieve playable frames. Who is this a win for? I am genuinely so curious. It's like... fuckin'.... reverse anti-trust or something??? It has all the hallmarks of what would be considered anti-trust, but inverted from the bottom up instead of top down. We should be celebrating AMD wins because their wins are a win for the industry; the more market share they can claw, the more Nvidia has to, for example, give a poo poo about how they price things. But we can't, because it's petty, myopic and anti-consumer. What a world. Taima fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Aug 18, 2023 |

This is pretty neat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hAy5V91Hr4&t=1s And it's simple to customize. I can't find a way to show per core CPU utilization, but this is a beta that just released.

I'm legit mad they even considered this is an idea let alone went through with it. I hope their GPU department fails even harder because I would literally rather have 1 GPU company if the other one is going to do poo poo like this when they cant make a better product. They are paying money to make your hardware work worse because they suck at making hardware. gently caress AMD
