Other games on Nintendo are already happening anyway. The Ori games are on switch, banjo Kazooie is on switch n64 online, goldeneye, cuphead, Super luckys tale, and misc Microsoft properties show up in smash ultimate as well. They may not be as high profile as Elder Scrolls and whatnot, but...

Often times the damage comes from moisture from the air that penetrates the chips, and then if it's rapidly heated, it will can cause the chip to sort of burst, which could explain the cracked dies seen here. I work in electronics manufacturing, and if a package of sensitive parts is left open...

Few months ago

As someone that bought a 5700XT on launch day and used it until Feb 2021 when I upgraded to a 6900XT, I had zero black screen issues. The only driver issue I had was a short time when RDR2 in Vulkan mode would have weird effects with deformable terrain like mud/snow. The 5700XT is now im my...

To be fair, WoW is an even older mmo and it's has dx12 for around 3 years. Even rt for 9 months.

Sure, that works for single player games that you play once and then delete. But if you noticed the two examples I gave, wow, and rdr2 (red dead online), they are online games with content updates and you might play both at the same time on different days (raids in wow on some days, rdr on...

But if you play one game that needs an older version, and a different game that needs a newer driver... What do you do?

I have a friend using a 2070 that reverted to older drivers for stuff in the past. Nvidia introduced a bug in red dead redemption 2 that caused some textures to be invisible, which was a bit of a problem. More recently they fixed a bug that caused flickering in WoW. One of the biggest wow...

Here's a bit about the fidelityfx ao implemented in WoW https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/improved-graphical-fidelity-in-wow/723597

I wouldn't say dx12 is a complete waste. World of warcraft added a dx12 renderer in its new expansion and in a patch after launch it improved performance even further. The initial implementation was slower on Nvidia hardware for whatever reason so they defaulted to the old dx11 renderer, but amd...

They are all US 60Hz versions for US/Euro models, and Japanese 60Hz for the Japan models.

I think they actually do have something along those lines. With the snes classic they included star fox 2, which was a complete and ready to mass produce game but went unreleased. Betas of the game had leaked out years ago, but the version on the system never was. I find it unlikely that they...

Yes, Mario kart 8 on switch has 4 player split screen

Yes, you could build a pc that would beat n64, but at a high premium. A 4mb voodoo 1(limited to 640x480) launched at $300 a few months after n64. The 200mhz pentium launched the same month as n64 in Japan for $599. Add in whatever motherboard, ram, and all the other parts and you're looking at...

The first unreal was basically built for voodoo cards. Glide was the primary renderer, with direct3d being the fallback for non voodoo cards. The detail textures really help give things a much higher resolution look than they normally would. As for N64, in many cases it was cpu or bandwidth...
