Apart from hardware limitations, I also wonder how much of the decision to use software to increase frame rate is more about maximizing profits? I would expect that having to supply every card they sell with improved hardware/architecture isn't as cheap as a software solution, particularly with...

From the list, Tsushima. The visuals left a lasting impression on me, particularly the coastal areas. Although I do admit I'm also partial to coastal scenery having grown up in the Southern California beaches. But, I'd like to also give an honorable mention to Cyberpunk. And I'll also call out...

That was glorious! SKOL

I don't want to make any excuses, but something's up with the Packers. Fans complaining about questionable play calls and while there's an argument to be made for that and also with clock management, I really think something is up as to why LeFleur is making the choices he's making, and...

Completely agree. My only point was just that 12 GB probably won't be able to cut it soon. And since xx70 cards are generally targeted for the 1440 crowd, I don't see 12GB being effective for too much longer, especially if they keep pushing RT. And as I mentioned, games are starting to not have...

I was referring to the start of the game. Right off the bat Nixon fumbled the starting kick, and the Eagles got 7 off it in maybe 1.5 minutes into the game.

Damn, every time I think this Packers team can't play any worse, they prove me wrong. I have a feeling if I keep watching, I'm going to have a hard time explaining to my TV manufacturer that the remote lodged into the screen should be covered under warranty.

Eventual GPU and HW tech references/topics is the pc gamer/tech nerd equivalent to all conversations leading to sex.

Shot in the dark, but would you happen to be on Windows 10? I ask because 10 is notoriously bad with HDR (although 11 isn't all that much better, either). There were times when I would disable HDR in the Win 10 display settings itself, but the game would still think HDR was active and enable the...

I do use AB from time to time, but one of the games I was referring to has an in-game VRAM usage bar. I'm fairly certain they are actual usage as Star Wars: Outlaws in particular has a memory leak, and you can see the darned VRAM slowly going up over time. When it gets above 10GB, the game...

The xx70 iteration has always been the sweet spot. But I wonder how much longer 12 GB will be adequate for AAA games? I played 2 new AAA games last year, and they both were using upwards of 8-9 GB of VRAM. And that's with no way tracing. Edit: Some new AAA games are also no longer giving an...

Maybe a shift toward indie titles will make AAA games more risky and less profitable, and get big business, big budget studios, and corporations and the like out of the picture. I've always wanted a unicorn, too.

View: https://youtu.be/WNBRgiChYeQ Edit: I was really looking forward to it after I did a 180 from my original impressions. Good news at least is my current game and next 2 games lined up will take me a while to finish, which should take me into March. Hopefully it'll get another markdown for...

I can relate. A drizzle is a rain storm in Southern California. All it takes is a gloomy cloud overhead and everyone's bundled up when it's 65 degrees outside lol. I still have to make it out to TN. And Nashville at that. Would love to visit the music venues, the Opry, Bluebird Cafe, The...

Looking forward to these match ups for wildcard weekend. Got all my snacks on the ready, and with the house empty I'm cranking up the ol' HT to get that crowd ambience.
