It is as much a cult, as the current economic system. Faith is the cornerstone of the markets. The thing is, the current cult has reached mass...
If the system is working for someone, they will invest in relatively safe things like ETFs. If it does not on the other hand, they stand a better...
That is correct. I'm pretty sure that the cost of energy for an Ethereum transaction is higher than one performed through MasterCard/Visa. I was...
Reports on electricity cost per transaction are generally very inaccurate... An online transaction using MasterCard (3D Secure 2) will pass...
I did it in 2014. I had a barebones pc in my office mining with an R9 280x. No-one bothered with it, and the cost of electricity was nothing...
After doing god knows how many troubleshooting steps, I managed to fix most of my framerate issues (don't ask me how, with this many changes, I...
I agree... The problem here is, that no matter what the RT settings are, the minute I enable any of them, my CPU usage goes down the drain. I'm...
The game is driving me insane... :mad2: With RTX off, I get a nice 70% CPU usage and 95% give or take GPU usage. With RTX on, I get the same GPU...
In a very important scene in the game, a character removes a chip from his head and passes it to you. Only in my game, that chip is replaced by a...
I did some mining way back in 2014 and didn't even remember it... So a few days ago, I came across my address key and thought, what the hell, lets...
Are these articles written by 18 year old's? Why are they stating the obvious like it is a revelation... I can only assume that either this is...
I think it should be quite clear to anyone that isn't a crazy person that Nvidia are totally in the wrong here. You cannot have independent media...
I'm guessing this is the reason I saw no ray tracing in the footage.
Yeah, I bought a Quest 2... And now I'm thinking I should have bought a PS5 instead :P I'm getting kinda jealous! But I have a roadmap and I'll...
I have awful stutters when using RT and DLSS on my 2080 at 1440p... I can get 60, but at random points I dip as low as 12 fps... Also DLSS is kind...
I can't think of any other game (from the top of my head at least) that was delayed after going gold!!!
Sorry, I meant to say, the hardness of the shaft, right now it's kind of hard and I want it limp. :P
Yes, although I haven't tried a game that supports force feedback in a long time and I cannot find a way to adjust the stiffness of the stick.
I loved the Wing Commander series. I literally broke quite a few joysticks (of suspect quality) playing those games along with the X-Wing, Tie...
Nope, I wasn't. I am not sure where that leaves them when the streaming will be more prevalent than local gaming... The way I see it, MS will do...
I don't get the question... Azure powers front and back end 24/7 systems for banks and fintech's all around the world... I'd say it is quite...
Sony relies on console sales too much. The problem they are about to face, is an increased difficulty in convincing the consumer that their...
Valve is not a public company, and I'm pretty sure Newel is not selling at least in the near future.
They will need to redefine their image if they are to do that. Nintendo is about gameplay and fun first, everything else second. Sony's image is...
Microsoft is killing it. I think they are going to be the Disney/Netflix of gaming in a decade. The Series/s is cheap enough to infiltrate every...
I guess if they wanted to stay in the game, a move like that was inevitable. If they don't go the EA route, and start closing studios left and...
The good thing about all this, from a PC guys perspective, is that I don't need to buy a console at launch. :P The only thing that will determine...
As he was one shooting everything in his path, I was thinking, OK, he will reach a boss and die immediately... So I guess, message received. :)
I think it is a combination of all of the above. Developer choice is based on time and budgetary constrains as well as technology limitations....
[MEDIA] Watching now :D Edit. Beat me to it @Man from Atlantis
They are pretty close, although I prefer AC's character rendering compared to HZD's. It is, very subjective, but I prefer HZD overall, because of...
Are we talking 4K? Because at 1440p, it's a nice 90fps average on a high end pc, if memory serves me well.
Thanks for the info, it makes more sense now! I don't get this part though, Are you assuming it will be streaming lower quality assets? Or is it...
I don't get the percentages, but having an nvme drive is a relief. I really haven't paid much attention to the PS5 specs, because I am mostly...
Physically based rendering, made a huge difference in games. In my opinion, PBR and volumetrics, are the two most important real time techniques...
As with everything MS these days, the messaging is mixed... It will be extremely (emphasis on extremely) surprising if they have both ray tracing...
I don't know, I remember being completely blown away by this :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakan:_Order_of_the_Flame
I have no clue whatsoever when it comes to cars!!! So almost everything went past me, but I kind of get the gist of it :P
That is why I said almost from the beginning! If I remember correctly the mmo part was one of the stretch goals of the original kick starter.
The whole playable space (it isn't small), resides on a server that supports 50 people max... Emergent gameplay requires gameplay systems, and...
Regarding shader compilation, I hope that DF were not running the game on a full ssd or nvme drive, because that would explain other things as well...
God this game is so much more enjoyable with a mouse, and the fact that it was already enjoyable to begin with, is saying a lot! No major bugs to...
I disagree. The product was chairs. The cushions were clearly negotiable. ;)
3. Intelligent alien life has visited earth in the last century For this to work, I have to assume that there is intelligent life elsewhere in...
Who cares? :P Each of these is conjecture... The question asked usually has no real answer (there are some very obvious exceptions to this). But...
Not really apples to apples though... Buying a startup, in order not to disrupt the market you are invested in because you can, is a lot different...
LOL I am equally concerned about both the Dereks and the Chrises of this world :P
There needs to be some semblance of coherency for some software to be called a game. And in the case of Star Citizen there are systems and...
So, I haven't played many open world survival games, just a few, with Conan Exiles being the one I played the most. And I have played SC only in...
I got it last night... Still downloading, but the DF video doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... [MEDIA]
