My first playthrough I did 20 body 20 reflex, with 12 intelligence, 14 in technical, and only like 5 in cool. I used mantis blades and rifles, but body was great for opening doors and was virtually required for that Beat on the Brat quest. I think you needed high body for cyberware, too. Cool was tanked because early on only monowires used it IIRC. New 2.0 start for Phantom Liberty I'm still kind of figuring stuff out, but probably gonna max reflex again, plus bump up cool and technical for precision rifles and cyberware. Body seems a lot less important if you're not using one of its weapon types. I guess the level cap was increased so I'll have more wiggle room. Still gonna be a cyber ninja blender.

I am super impressed with Cyberpunk 2077's patch 2.0. Graphics look great at a buttery smooth 60 FPS on my PC, and the reworked perk and skill system is more satisfying to use. Just having a lot of fun running around Night City in a way I really didn't when the game first came out.

This video has some good suggestions on settings to lower for a big performance gain without sacrificing much visual quality: https://youtu.be/B03_Aa5NwIY?si=xaEp4J1zGwt4QxLK I turned a few down on my 4080 just to get some more breathing room with ray tracing.

With how smooth and consistent the 60 FPS is, I don't have any complaints. Honestly the game looks really impressive. Built this PC in 2019 or 2020, can't remember which. Still tough to buy video cards?

Not to the same degree but Nvidia is dedicating a lot of its chip manufacturing slots to workstation and server GPUs because of it. Finished Starfield - overall the gameplay is great, the main story is....meh. But the universe, ship building, and fighting was fun. Exploring was tons of fun. If you were the sort that got Skyrim and just wandered the world doing sidequests, its up your alley.

Shipbuilding drove me crazy. I kept getting in cycles like "Ok I want to upgrade my engine, now I need to add new landing gear because of the mass, now I need to add more engines, now I need to add more structure to fit the engines, now I have too much mass..." I'm sure it loosens up once you get the shipbuilding skills but they're pretty far down in the skill tree.

I feel like it wouldn't be a Bethesda game if it didn't have side quests that were way more interesting and well written than the main storyline.

I doubt AI/LLMs will affect it. Most high end poo poo is done on TPUs not GPUs. You can rent TPUs for model training for pennies on the dollar from AWS/Azure/GCP. Much more efficient and cost effective.

you're all terribly mixing up GPU/TPU poo poo. TPUs are google's custom silicon and only found in Google Cloud. other companies have their on ASICs or FPGAs but they are not TPUs. meanwhile yes, GPUs are very much used in various clouds. and yes, nvidia had TSMC allocate more manufacturing capability to make GPUs for the A100/H100 ML cards. but the bottleneck right now isn't actual GPU manufacturing, it's the packaging process to put huge amounts of memory on those cards. so there's no gaming GPU shortage because of ML cards being bought for industry use.

Yup. ML stuff would happily use a terabyte of vram if it were available, feeding those massive stacks of tensor cores data faster than they can process it is a challenge. Gaming cards have no practical reason for more than about 12gigs at the moment.

Tiny posted:Yup. ML stuff would happily use a terabyte of vram if it were available, feeding those massive stacks of tensor cores data faster than they can process it is a challenge. Gaming cards have no practical reason for more than about 12gigs at the moment. Ehhh, you can definitely use up 12+ GB of VRAM at 4k, I push past 12GB of VRAM in Diablo 4 with ultra textures turned on (and my performance tanks to poo poo) and I'm only running at 3440x1440. Also, you can outstrip 12GB of VRAM with Cyberpunk 2077, the AI stuff behind DLSS requires some VRAM to run, and I use up almost 12GB running in ultra RT with High textures. Taking it further and adding in ray reconstruction or pushing the resolution higher will push you past 12GB of VRAM. Modern (2022-2023) games are happily eating up 12+GB of VRAM at 4k, and you really do need more than 12GB to play at those kinds of resolutions if you like your sliders. IIRC Harry Potter is also another game that will starve for VRAM on a 12GB card. Not saying that many games do not do quite well on 12GB of VRAM, but if you like to play at resolutions above 1080P, 12GB is not going to last beyond next year from what I can tell. The 4070 will be fine longer than the 3080 is because the 4070 has access to the secret sauce of frame generation, as well as better compression tech for VRAM, so you can tolerate dropping fewer settings and getting good performance still. If you're a BWM idiot like me who will spend $5000 on a PC but then won't upgrade until the next generation of consoles comes out, the options are basically 4090+64GB of DDR5 and fastest gaming CPU you can find. A 4090 or even a 4080 will not go bad within this console generation because they're not going to make games that play poorly on that kind of hardware while the PS5 and Series X are a thing. Actually one of the bottlenecks now is going to be storage speed, because both the series X and the PS5 have PCIe Gen 5 SSDs that are way faster than almost everything but the cutting edge of SSD. Devs are now using those SSDs to rapidly micro-load game data and eliminate load times, and consoles basically always do it better than PC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11VTtIwboe8 This game is a good example of something that will have issues unless you have an SSD, and a pretty competent GPU and CPU, and this kind of stuff is going to happen more and more as the current console gen keeps going, we don't have to worry about the current gen consoles dying out before 2028 at the earliest though. orange juche fucked around with this message at 09:59 on Oct 2, 2023 |

I hadn't played Cyberpunk in a while now, and whether it's the 2.0 update or all the updates cumulatively, it looks and runs a lot better. Also, I was playing Starfield thanks to the XBox thing and it's okay, but then I go back to Cyberpunk, and the dynamic nature of interacting with everyone just killed my chances of playing anything Bethesda ever again.

Bethesda just plays poo poo too safe, afraid to do anything remotely as unique and original as Morrowind was as a setting. I'd say the team that makes their MMO, Elder Scrolls Online, is way better at making interesting stories and settings than Bethesda itself. Too bad it's an MMO, even if it does have the trappings of a classic Elder Scrolls game.

I really hope more games use the dialogue mechanics from 2077 where you can be talking but look around, move around, sit down, have another person join in etc. without being locked into a staring contest with a talking head. There's a part where a character jams a gun into your back and tells you to keep looking straight ahead, and if you try to turn he jabs you again. It's great.

Welp, I lied. Back on the untouchable cyber hacker god of the net wagon. Last time through my favorite gun was the talking pistol, now smart guns are a basic part of game play and the intel tree lets you use both with one stat block so I'm blinding and burning fools then popping their heads with zippy thinking bullets. Or just making them drop dead with no alarms through a camera, that's always fun too. One cyberpsycho I can't handle though, blood ritual warping chick from the refrigerator. No ability to engage from a distance and up close I get my poo poo torn apart. Hoping if I max stuff out then come back I'll have more tricks.

For the blood ritual psycho, its not too bad if you have the legs that let you double jump. Run/jump around up towards the area up the ramp with the fenced in ledge, she'll get stuck up there for a bit and you can use overheat on her and she won't be able to easily lunge at you and slash you up.
