It's already been confirmed by people like Tom Henderson, so I dont think this really changes anything. Extremely poorly held secret at this point.

They could do that now quite easily. They dont, because people wouldn't like it. VR is a fairly different use case, as it's a MUCH larger FoV and people largely look around in VR by turning their head rather than darting their eyes around. Such fixed foveated rendering would be...

That's not even it here. In the video they straight up say this card is rubbish if you care about ray tracing. Which should go without saying. Spending a bunch of time going over how a card without ray tracing acceleration is bad at ray tracing is a waste of everybody's time.

There is none. The only people with an agenda are people like you who try and tarnish them with nonsense allegations because they aren't covering things in the more biased way that you'd prefer. They covered those games you mention to demonstrate them in a plausible, usable way for such an old...

Xbox locking away their own games behind not just their own platform, but their next gen box, seems to go against everything they're doing right now, though. They were all about cross-gen, and now they dont even seem to value exclusivity at all much anymore. I do actually think going back...

Unless Sony decides to put their 1st party stuff on Xbox(not gonna happen), it will lead to a very clear advantage for Playstation 1st party games in terms of impressiveness. And for 3rd party titles, Xbox titles will likely already get less attention from developers, which will exaggerate the...

I think it's not so much that MS should adopt XeSS so much as it's just embarrassing that MS haven't come up with their own superior solution to FSR2. They clearly had plans for AI reconstruction in public slides for XSX processor design and we know they had DirectML and all that. Microsoft...

If they do a midgen upgrade rather than 'new gen' console, they are gonna be stuck with Series S, for better or worse. MS is not in a position to be angering their own customer base by abandoning them early. But I do think lack of attention is definitely a part of why their results haven't...

You are doing that classic PC gamer thing of not realizing that consoles dictate game ambitions and generational limits. What an RTX 3060 has is largely unimportant. This is all about consoles, cuz they define a generation. Ever moreso in the multiplatform age.

Imagine if the XB1/PS4 era were limited to just 4GB instead of 8GB. Games would have been necessarily limited in their detail and fidelity, especially in the second half of the generation when most all the most impressive games properly using the potential of the consoles came out. XSX/PS5 are...

I have no doubt the $10b claim is an exaggeration or misleading to some decent degree. It's not actually bad PR for them to talk about the immense amount of money they can spend on something when they're the leaders. It makes them look super healthy and impossible to compete with.

Lovelace out-the-box TDP is typically a fair bit higher than it needs to be though, for most of the range. It's much more efficient in reality. I'm not gonna derail this too much with a ton of RDNA3 talk, but I think it's very reasonable to say it was hugely disappointing. I mean, it even...

The SSD's were largely in response to the lack of ability to improve RAM quantity, since price per GB improvements have slowed to a crawl this past decade or so. If you can stream large amounts of data into RAM quickly, you dont need as much spare data sitting around 'just in case', so you get...

I imagine they're both valid and overlapping points to the same effect. It's gotta be frustrating for MS to have made the more powerful console at a higher cost, only for devs to not really give it more attention, which has largely neutralized that extra power.

Using the number of names in credits is not necessarily a good way to count actual developer heads. Lots of people get included in credits that are quite tangential to the actual making of the game. There's indie games done by like 10 people yet will have like 100 people in the credits. That...
