it's getting a graphics "overhaul" in version 7.0 which requires higher specs. has spiffy new technology like ambient occlusion!

some of the new listed recs just make it sound like you need more vram to store the textures that no longer look like something outta minecraft though

better fsr3; dlss got a new, improved E profile with 3.7, and xess also got an upgrade with 1.3, good times. and that's on top of directsr

alex has a new video on xess 1.3. i keep forgetting that there's two types of xess depending on whether you have dp4a or xmx support, which will definitely continue to confuse a lot of people including myself

cool to see that sony is experimenting with dedicated playstation crossplatform and crossplay support that supports playstation trophies for their pc ports:

https://blog.playstation.com/2024/04/17/ghost-of-tsushima-directors-cut-pc-cross-play-and-system-requirements-revealed/

system requirements also don't look too terrible, and the game supports both fsr 3, xess 1.?, and dlss 3

nixxes doing great work, can't believe sony actually made a good business decision in acquiring them

devastating, vague rumours that nvidia might be working directly in league with the sff perverts:

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-partners-create-new-sff-gaming-pc-ecosystem-powered-sff-enthusiast-geforce-gpus/

quote:

We have learned that NVIDIA is working with its partners which not only include AICs (graphics card makers) but also chassis, PSU, manufacturers, etc, to put together components that are perfect for SFF builds.

quote:

NVIDIA will be laying out SFF guidelines which will be passed over to its partners & eventually help gamers build these compact PCs. The guidelines will include the creation of a standard for AICs & chassis manufacturers based on dimensions and clearances between enthusiast GPUs and SFF PC chassis. Following is the main description of the new ecosystem:

quote:

Enthusiasts around the world are choosing Small Form Factor chassis for their dream rigs.

However, when building around modern enthusiast GPUs, finding the best components for a SFF (Small Form Factor) build can be challenging.

NVIDIA has developed form factor guidelines to help Gamers pick the best GeForce RTX GPU and components for their SFF build.

These guidelines provide dimensions and clearances between enthusiast graphics cards and SFF chassis, creating a standard for AIC and chassis manufacturers to help make building SFF Gaming PCs a great experience.

Now you must be wondering if this opens up the space for more Mini-ITX and compact NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs. Well, the answer is both a yes and no. You see, NVIDIA won't be offering any compact variants of its own since this is mostly a partner-driven program but partners are free to experiment with their solutions to offer GPUs that comply with the "SFF Enthusiast GeForce" label.

The labels will be applied to both existing and new graphics cards from AICs so we can expect the GeForce RTX 4060 & 4060 Ti series to be the first to adopt this new standard as a true compact ITX (SFF) solution. But the "SFF Enthusiast GPU" label isn't confined to ITX options.

maybe we'll have high-range cards that aren't the size of briefcases some day

if dragon's dogma 2 is using the re engine, then maybe i can start to see why monster hunter wilds isn't coming out this year after all

which would be mhw all over again where they had to use the mt engine because they scrapped their soulslike that was supposed to have the next big panta rhei engine

are galax trying to release this before they become subject to higher standards or something

https://twitter.com/VideoCardz/status/1781654858635862133

quote:

When the load kicks in, the single fan picks up the speed up to 3100 RPM, which is around 84% of the maximum speed. At a distance of 50 cm away from the card, the noise level rises to 51.4 dBA, much higher than most models, including Colorful’s Ultra OC or even the NVIDIA Founder Edition. The noise level is a clear disadvantage of this design, but at least the fan will stop when the card is idle, so there is that.

db chart:

galax: 51.4(!!!)
igame: 32.2
fe: 28.4

Yeah, it's a bit like saying 40mm fans in a 1u case being noisy?

Also, 51.4db, that reminds me of a PS4 that I got off ebay a while back. Among it's many faults was a fan that I measured at over 80db from more than a meter away.
It was ridiculously loud, sort of "busy road traffic" level of discomfort.

Still got the pic that I had to send the twat who was complain it was fine...


yeah i had to repaste mine because it sounds like a jet engine after a while. still kinda does in games like gow and tlou, but nothing as bad as before

re8 had it in some nominal capacity, could be it's just lying around in the re engine from that. re2+3+7 also got it backported, but that was a bit of a mess. i think people also say to just turn it off in re4. i guess capcom's making some kind of attempt, but rarely a wholehearted one

could also be capcom's been messing around with it for the ps5 pro where sony's supposedly pushing for raytracing

(also please don't ever upload videos or do livestreams where you have clearly modded the game; capcom will strike that poo poo down like an angry god)

nvidia talking about "ai pc's", "premium" meaning "gpu" contra npu's here

https://twitter.com/VideoCardz/status/1785609394496905447

which is largely whatever, but i wonder what they mean by "ai npc's" as a specific ai-powered gpu gaming feature here



hopefully it's not the usual metaverse crap they keep showing, but time will tell

computex is june 4-7

the hell is going on with that font? is that an ai generated slide? lmao
i copied the gaming section to the top instead of posting the whole thing. i don't know what irfanview was smoking to stretch it like that

i don't know why better slides and basic charts are so hard to do for these companies, but i guess it's because it's mainly done by marketing

When companies like Google are shoehorning "AI" into statements that have absolutely nothing to do with AI and everyone is promising the moon, I feel like anything referring to AI is simply just vague hype noise that conveys no information.
part of it is snake oil, and part of it is just hyping stuff that's been around for years if not decades as something that's way better than it is

before ai, people would call everything ml, and even then, a lot of was literally just bayesian inference which is literally centuries old

would probably be fun to look like a line chart of .ml domains vs .ai, but it probably didn't help that all .ml domains ran into some issues when the ten-year license for selling them expired

it's gotten to the point where you can't describe actual use of ai outside of npc pathfinding and enemy combat in videogamse, because everything surrounding the conversation is so toxic now, ironically

great to hear if capcom were able to unify all the engine branches instead of the disparate mess we're used to. probably would have been a more positive story if they didn't mess up a lot of performance when they did it with re 2+3+7

this is a real take on reddit somewhere, right now
most of battlestation posturing on reddit is basically poor-shaming and flexing the fact that you don't have much else to spend your money on

it's pretty gross once you notice people giving people crap for not buying the latest overpriced hardware to put in their pink rgb pc
