I was thinking more like a metal mesh, with large enough holes to not block airflow instead of those two cut out disk "grills". The current setup will suck in every clump to the only moving part of the system and not all of those will leave the fan to the dust collectors. I agree, longevity was...

Looks like a decent quality build, the wide fan blades probably push a lot of air, and that big sink must be very expensive. Some of the questions I have after the first watch: - No dust filters? Those whitish grills might block too much air, but they won't stop much dust imo. - Somehow I just...

Crysis was the pinnacle of videogame graphics when it came out, and the remaster is nothing like that, me thinks. A mod/addon at best, so just another saber cashgrab, they turned the game into a console port on the PC. I know it's always easy to say bad things about the work of others, but I...

As far as we know, PS4pro BC is done by having backward compatible hardware. I think it is more pausible that previous gen game engines would behave more predictable and/or would need less modification on the new hardware if having 36 PS5 CUs running in BC mode compared to 40 CUs doing the same...

Wouldn't that jeopardize backward compatibily because of CU count?

The new video engine really has av1? Why didn't they say that, it's a huge thing imho.

You may be right. I was thinking about cutting up Xavier, which would be a new chip, but Nvidia could save up a lot on the research/developing costs and make an offer Nintendo could accept. And about Parker... well I was thinking about "Flipper" and "Hollywood" being 5 years apart. If I think...

By has for them (sorry for that), I meant that I would be surprised if they would develop a new soc. I can definitely see a revised X2 happen, but the smallest (4 core) Xavier with the compute/ai parts cut out would be also an option. Of course, something on turing would be awesome, but I just...

I think Nintendo will just grab whatever (newer then Tegra) cheap soc nvidia have for them, underclock it beyond oblivion again and go with that. And no, it won't be the latest gen for sure. The 99% of their target audience doesn't care about fps or aa quality and whatnot in AAA titles, they...

I didn't say that Xavier would be the best SOC to go with, I was just pointing out that the 30W claim was missleading. I agree, the bussnies side of such deal is questionable. Nvidia makes the best graphics chips (for a long time now), but they are expensive, so perhaps the profit they could...

IIRC Xavier is not a 30W SOC, that's only the max configurable TDP.

Rise of the Tomb Raider dx12 patch is out too. more info (German)

I made a lot of tests with SSD drives, and they get pretty slow without TRIM. I don't have the OZC drive in question, but the garbage collector is usually pretty weak in these drives. I remember, when these hybrid drives came out I was wondering why didn't they map the beginning of every...

But the drive's spec says otherwise. I would be really surprised if the XBONE would do trim over USB by default, so I'm not really sure how "pro/expert" this test is (the drive can do idle time garbage collection, that might be enough tho, but we have no data how efficient that feature is)...
