    Unreal Engine 5, [UE5 Developer Availability 2022-04-05]

    I can't wait until games with actual hardware Lumen arrive and we can stop pretending it doesn't exist.

    RDNA3 Efficiency [Spinoff from RDNA4]

    Well, weren't the original claims for the N5 process that it could deliver 30% lower power consumption at the same clock speeds? So if that still applies and you're comparing the 6700 XT and 7800 XT, which clock almost the same according to TPU, then only 12% of the gain in efficiency is coming...

    Xbox Series... M?

    I'm sure it is bandwidth limited even at 15W considering how close the Z1 is despite having a 3rd of the cores. But as soon as you increase bandwidth then utilisation will increase and power consumption will go up. So there is no free lunch.

    Xbox Series... M?

    We already have comparisons of performance between consoles and PCs and the consoles are not hugely faster than equivalent hardware, typically being in the range of the 2070 - 2080 Super. So I think the suggested 2X increase in performance per watt is reasonable, as the Series S is more than 2X...

    Xbox Series... M?

    The ROG Ally looks to achieve about PS4 performance at 15W. So to reach Series S levels you would need more than double the performance per watt. I doubt 3nm will be enough for that. You could build a portable APU that sits between the S and the X (well Strix Halo is already that), but you're...

    EXCLUSIVE | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5 (rumor)

    Xbox and PC are different platforms, so I don't think this necessarily means anything.

    EXCLUSIVE | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5 (rumor)

    Well they still have Xbox Live + Game Pass. And if the delay is like 1 year for PS releases, not everyone will want to wait.

    Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) (SARS-CoV-2) [2020]

    The question I was addressing was not "should we vaccinate", but "do we have a reliable method of assessing vaccine effectiveness that takes into account prior immunity". And my claim was that we do have such a method (real world studies using test-negative designs). In any case, the drive for...

    Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) (SARS-CoV-2) [2020]

    The fact that the measure of VE is not influenced by population immunity allows it to estimate the additional protection provided by vaccines, on top of existing immunity in the population. So it's very relevant for determining the efficacy of a vaccine in the real world. Edit: To be clear...

    Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) (SARS-CoV-2) [2020]

    Real world studies on Vaccine Effectiveness (VE) use "test-negative" designs that compare the proportion of those vaccinated in those testing postive (cases group) with the proportion of those vaccinated in those testing negative (control group). In this way prior population immunity should not...

    Hello again

    I think there should be a zero tolerance policy for posts containing personal attacks. If you can't make a point without attacking the poster, you shouldn't be on the forum.

    Review scores versus game quality *spawn

    Cyberpunk has a 57 Metacritic on PS4 and IGN gave it 4/10. The initial Cyberpunk reviews were positive because journalists were not sent console versions.

    Current Generation Games Analysis Technical Discussion [2023] [XBSX|S, PS5, PC]

    No, the comparison was used to demonstrate the scalability of the engine, not to say that everyone will be using a 4090.
