So where's the cut-off if the rays do more, like G-buffer fill? It's a constant time rasterization, one ray per pixel, no overdraw, no scene sorting, culling is still needed. And wahhlah there's your G-buffer in O(pixels*log(scene complexity)). 2 million rays/frame at 1080p seems extremely...

Would a RT depth prepass, filling the depth buffer from the BVH, help for an otherwise conventional renderer?

The "janitors" have seen the shit-faucets operate for years. Only they can close the shit streams. They are in the front-lines of the shit-eating buffet. If you know who "those making the mess" are, why are they still here? Shifty (very sorry mate) argues posters should self regulate and learn...

I'm sure I'm not saying anything new, but I'm gonna say it. If the admin team closes a forum for bad posting it's a group penalty. Admin team has identified the issue: bad posting. Apply individual penalties of increasing seriousness to bad posters: 1 week posting holidays, 1 month posting...

The 4080 is selling 4090s and clearing the 30x0s inventory. There's no problem.

No, IANEE, but let me guess: - mcd ddr - mcd internal - mcd cache - mcd-gcd link - gcd display-out - gcd front-end - gcd shaders - gcd command processor - gcd video codecs - gcd dma

AVX512 isn't power hungry, 512bit ALUs are power hungry. AVX512 on the latests EPYCs is better than AVX2 in power use. Mostly because the ALUs are 256bits so you need to decode 2 AVX2 instructions or 1 AVX512 instruction to achieve a 512bit computation. Also AVX512 is a from the ground up ISA...

Didn't NV change their driver license agreement to extract more money from cloud providers? How do they like them apples?

The obviously correct interpretation: the PS5 is a 1.9 liter Turbo-diesel while the xBoneSx is a 2.0 liter direct injection petrol engine. You can't really compare them, completely different torque/power curves. But that won't stop the fanboys.

So what? I can hack a logo on my computer and print it. Only believe in anything you have seen yourself. Who's this "Sony" anyway? Does it have any credibility?

Always a good time to post: NYE in NY, world's #1 fortnite streamer does the fortnite floss dance. The crowds just DGAF. And yet I guess some of the crowd might be interested in a PS5 reveal.

When do the SED patents expire? 2025? 2030? I want lasers to burn my retina at 120Hz.

I can sell you an OUIYA for $15k. I will wrap it in pine wood, even.

"... a customized ultra-fast, broadband SSD." http://lightnvm.io and https://openchannelssd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Summary: Remove the intelligent controller, expose the raw flash channels to the OS. "Software defined flash storage". Similar to removing an "intelligent" RAID controller and...

You're probably overpaying for NVME, see if you can find a similar 250GB-range model in SATA/AHCI M.2 for $30. Depending on how many programs you want to install 128GB will be too small, very soon. Also the user directory will be on C: by default. Also please verify the laptop's M.2 slot is...
