Exactly.

Sorry for the short downtime due to me doing some maintenance in a sloppy way. We now run on a slightly newer FreeBSD, how exciting. Also, while I'm here, the main website (yes, that one) was unavailable for a couple of weeks a little while back, due to hardware failure (one SSD, then the other...

I've pulled out this side discussion from the RX 9070 reviews thread in the A+P forum since I think it's an important one to have alone from the discussion of any particular GPU product or architecture. There's never been any hard and fast guarantees that every GPU would, given the same inputs...

By institutional shareholders. I wonder what the folks working there think about it.

My mistake, I’m sorry about that. I thought you were gatekeeping someone trying to analyse, understand and critique the lower-level details of a technology just because they’ve no experience developing or designing similar lower-level aspects themselves. That’s literally how I got a career, and...

If you have to be a professional in the field to objectively criticise the low-level workings of something, otherwise you need to stay in your lane, then I guess we just shut up shop.

It doesn't mean DF or game developers can't be criticised. It just means we're not giving air to this particularly vitriolic flavour of it. Anyone on Beyond3D should feel free to respectfully, thoughtfully, curiously, and constructively criticise games, games technology, games developers, games...

Does it matter that PhysX or its compatibility wasn't a story for a long time? The video isn't an anti-Nvidia hatchet job, despite the YT algorithm-worshiping cover. It's just a look at what PhysX was, now is, and what it means for 32-bit compat to be removed. The video says it's ultimately not...

There's no place for discussion of Threat Interactive content here at Beyond3D. Even if you agree with any of the sentiment, the technical analysis is often completely incoherent and incorrect, and the way the overall messages are communicated are often completely disrespectful to the developers...

Cleaned up the thread to leave the high signal information and remove the back and forth about how best to count the number of titles that support FSR3.1 and DLSS2 or higher (including the user or a tool or whatever doing some work to upgrade DLLs to get to the latest versions, assuming hardware...

The lack of colour accuracy is a bit of a problem on WOLED panels. I personally see the yellow issue only on the contrasting edge between yellow-ish pixels and those showing another colour (especially white), which does affect yellow text most of all. I also don't particularly like the matte...

Let's move on from the cost of physical goods bit going up. We all agree it has, and that it's a factor, and we hopefully all agree that it's next to impossible to judge just how much of one from the outside. Given the product and sales model it's just really hard to ever get that bit accurate...

One of those sells ~150M units over the sales lifetime, almost like clockwork, where the silicon production and parts that the vendor doesn't make are all negotiated for using that incredible volume, often years in advance with billions of dollars laid down up front to secure the cost base...

I've moved the tail end of the Blackwell consumer GPU reviews thread here because it had (very predictably) descended into yet another terrible back and forth about consumer GPU value. I'm broadly sick and tired of this kind of discussion now because it never goes anywhere useful. Some folks...

I think everyone gets the point that good scaling is possible. I hope we all knew that already but it’s good to point it out. Maybe the thread can move on now from individual macro level examples to the micro level details of what’s required in the hardware, programming model and workloads...
