    Elden Ring [2022-21-01] [PS, XB, PC]

    My current build is Moonveil with magic. Moonveil has a very good ranged skill for trash and bosses (and good scaling with INT), and I'm finding Adula's Moonblade to be the go to magic for bosses and strong enemies (can also be buffed by rani's hat and Ash of War: Royal Knight's Resolve)...

    Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

    As long as your PS5 doesn't open access to the games for an "unreasonable" amount of PSN accounts, it's fine. Banned PS5s had like 50 accounts from all over the place so...

    Nope, Console banned from PSN. Probably indefinately. An account ban wouldn't do much to punish the main abuser (which in this case is the PS5 owner). https://mspoweruser.com/sony-permenantly-bans-ps5-ps-plus-collection/ Reads: This PS5 console has been permanently or temporarily forbidden...

    Usually they wouldn't care, but this time it's money (free, full games) on the line so yes. Sharing your account with somebody you don't know is precisely against the TOS. Well, if you don't abuse it it's fine, but it became apparent that a lot of people made money by using their PS5s to give...

    You want to risk both your account and the PS5 owner getting banned? lol

    My confirmation email for the VR adapter actually came after the adapter arrived at my house, just got it yesterday.

    Current Generation Hardware Speculation with a Technical Spin [post GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

    Empirically as long as the data is gathered in an unbiased fashion and careful to not include bias it doesn't matter who did it, even if there was a conflict of interest. In some of these cases other frame analysis websites that had better reputation came to the same conclusion so in this case...

    The dips certainly look like bugs. Maybe because the way it dropped performance wasn't really logical and then there was proof that PS5 did perfectly fine on that scene in other instances.

    Occurs in these scenes I really don't see any real "valid" reason for the big dip if both consoles can handle way more chaotic scenes without a hitch. The other dips that are seen in the video are actually accompanied by immediate similar level of chaos that run, well.. fine? also funny how...

    Ya the point was the 90 degree measurement doesn't really have a baseline to compare with. Most of these measurements are done with either a sensor inside, or taken with a infrared gun or something like that. We need them to use the same methodology to measure some rig to make this comparison...

    I wouldn't call particular scenes where performance drops of ~50% that look like obvious outliers as an edge. I'd attribute it more to the scene and probably certain setting/effects of the particular map to be responsible.

    I don't recall there being a memory module on the other side of the board. That's why I commented earlier on "wtf is memory top and memory bot?" Only way for top to be low on temp while bot to be high on temp would be if their probes are Top: on top of the memory module Bot: below the memory...

    Current Generation Hardware Speculation with a Technical Spin [post GDC 2020] [XBSX, PS5]

    That was expected. I stated quite earlier that if the bigger brothers are having trouble hitting 1440p then it's going to hit below 900p for Series S Devs might not want to really go as low as 900p to 720p, so they in turn sacrificed 60/120hz modes. People were drinking coolaid thinking PS5 and...

    Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion [2020]

    PS5 coming down to the 40s on "certain scenes" point out to me that there's something about the scenes themselves on the PS5 version, just like how Dirt 5 had certain areas on certain maps getting hammered on 120hz mode with seemingly no apparent reason. If there was much more ~50 dips I would...

    Looks like the GDDR6 chip. Not sure why they measured the bottom of the chip to get 90 degrees+ though. Most tests measure the surface, no?
