Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny, capcom said this was the case and is why we got 2 more betas hehe. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )
Huh, i thought ps5 (pro) was 4k native, but looks like its via some hardware upscaler. Good to know hehe. That changes some things, but lets see. The ps5 pro gpu is equivalent to a rx 7700 xt, which is a 400 msrp card. In reality its way more, but lets work with msrp prices to give this the best chance of success.
Ps5 pro is 700$ msrp, so thats 300$ you have left for cpu, ram, ssd, case, and psu. I dont think you can do that, but lets look at the next part: cpu
Cpu is equivalent to a ryzen 7 3700x, which is an old cpu so is cheap atm, 120$.
Ok, 180$ left in the budget, next: motherboard.
I found a board on amazon for 65$, which was the ASRock A520M-HDV. 120$ left.
Ok so, ssd. Ps5 pro comes with a 2TB ssd. I found some sketchy, offbrand, m.2 ssd’s from brands i never even heard off for 94$. There is probably cheaper, but amazon’s website was being an arse and lets face it, how trustworthy or slow are those. 36$ left in budget.
Thats 36 for ram, case and psu…
As much as i hate to admit it, as a pc person, you cant make a pc with equal strength as ps5 pro and it sucks arse.
Second hand might give us more leeway but i dont think its a lot.
I will agree that yes, with pc you have a lot more options and its easier to put in a bit more into the budget to build a way better pc than a ps5 pro.
But from a pure budget standpoint, no pc isnt worth it.
As soon as you add other arguments, the choice changes
Not really. To have games in 4k and 30fps in modern games you need a gpu that is more than half the budget. And you dont even have a cpu, ram, mobo or even case.
Dont get me wrong btw, i will always pick pc because i do way way more than just gaming, but recommending pc for gaming is becoming really hard
Euh, no. The intel battlemage cards are way way better than rtx 2070. They even beat the 4060… For 250$.
Intel battlemage gpu’s are really good cards if you dont need pure, raw, power because everything must be in 4k and on ultra etc.
Which is a good value since that raw, pure, power comes with an electricity bill i would not want to pay
And i agree that is a good thing and natural progression/evolution of tech.
What i dont like is nvidia’s cockhold on the tech with insane prices ( for the card and power draw ) as a result. I know other cards are catching up and all that, but the difference is still huge because some methods and functions are locked to the cuda cores and nvidias tech.
I will not be giving nvidia money in the next 7 years. We will see where they stand once i have to replace my (amd) gpu.
Pre-locked bootloader times ive had multiple android devices be passed to me that were malware infected that changed the rom in a way that even a factory reset would not remove the malware. Locked bootloaders made it so the rom needed to be signed and unaltered on boot, fixing this. Root access also means apps can use and access api’s in android that it normally cant, changing settings and things inside android it shouldnt. What do you think happens when malware comes in? :p
Imo, i agree what you said. bootloaders should remain locked but you should be able to somehow, in the bootloader, be able to add the os’ signature/keys to the bootloader’s trusted stuff like how secure boot on a pc keeps os signing keys and verification stuff inside the tpm.
This way you can install lineage os for example, tell bootloader to trust it, and lock bootloader again so nothing can be changed anymore.
I wouldnt take this from user input, as that is controlable by malware, but rather come from the OS itself. Maybe even during installation, idk
This is a very complex topic that is very hard to draw the line on.
As a technical person who follows hacking and security news i can understand google introduced the api and warnings, as phones are getting hacked and unlocked bootloader or root can be abused to keep your malware going, and has been abused in the past.
But as a user of fairphone/lineageOS, who tells google, apple, meta, … all of them to fuck off when i can, this scares me. The lockdown of devices can and is going too far. Hell, i even consider samsung’s android ui changes to be going too far, as it changes a shit ton of stuff and really is not a stock android experience. It locks users in their environment…
Its almost always tools and programs used in their professional life. The 365 suite, adobe suite, fusion 360, simulation programs, …
Yes i know there are free or alternative options, but they are never as good or powerful as the full on suites that have existed since the dawn of time.
Ive been running linux ( dual boot with windows ) on my work laptop for 9 months at this point and i love it. But sometimes, i do have to boot windows for one of the professional suite programs.
Im a pc user, and the pc world is still a lot more complex than just “regular, slim and pro” versions. Different hardware and combinations males it a lot more complex.
You could say “low, medium and high end pc” but that means nothing as even a medium pc could have different cpu’s, gpu’s or even ram timings…
But yes, the different console versions is stupid
Oh sweet summer child. Capcom is on a very sharp edge imo.
Their games are solid, but everything around it is utter god damn dogshit.
Sf5? Beta was very solid, was fucked up before release. Also had a terrible microtransactions system.
Sf6? Very very solid base game, but to get all character and stages since last year + the game you have to pay +160 euro.
Re4? Very solid remake, but prepare to loose performance on pc due to dunovo despite it being a single player game.
Re: the village? Very solid game, but better pay shit up and also loose performance despite ALSO being a single player game.
Megaman: mega who?
Monster hunter : safe, for now. Monster hunter wilds looks amazing and loads of fun, but watch them fuck it up somehow…
I like capcom a lot, have always supported them despite shit decisions and a few near bankruptcies but its the microtransactions/usage of dunovo and other weird ass decisions is making me hold back on buying their stuff atm…
The mit license allows forking, merging, modifying and releases of modified code. Yes id assume so yes :)
I have a lot of bad things to say about some microsoft teams and some microsoft managers (cough fluentui webcomponents team cough ), but in general the .net team is a nice one and ive had several nice encounters with few of its devs.
Just dont know what the actual bloody fuck the manager/team was thinking dropping linux when they made maui…
Thats bad paraphrasing. .net is not propiatary and is open source and cross platform now because it started from scratch even before they bought xamarin (.net core). Yes mono did help .net become cross platform, no denying that, but they were already making steps to make that possible. They had to for the cloud/azure.
On top of that, for future development mono is no longer needed because .net is cross platform, and as an example ive made desktop apps on linux using avalonia which work on mac, windows, linux, …
Mono’s purpose at this point is only legacy stuff ( aka .net framework projects, aka stuff made with .net 4.8 or lower ) and will not evolve, which is perfect for wine.
I know it looks like microsoft took what they needed and are now ditching it, and its not untrue, but its always better to have something officially supported by the source instead of some 3th party as it will now evolve on all platforms at the same time and not stay behind the facts. It also will have better performance too since there is less translation going on.
Dont be salty about this man. Be salty about maui and how it took xamarin and crippled it ( no linux support )
Right, so basically things that decent skills would also get you?
Also, if you feel being aggressive doesnt help you, you start playing defensively and thats when you can strike back. Cheats or not, it still has to attack and is still stuck on the frame limits of the move right? Thats when you can strike back, no?
Im not saying cheating isnt bad, and im not saying its not annoying either, but in general fighters are different and they are completely skill based unless the cheater changes things that the other can never do.
In hindsight, pretty sure ive fought cheaters back in the day in sf4 before, but that was never that bad because i still had options to fight them back…
Yes!
They have released multiple new mainboards for the framework 13 which upgraded the cpu. This is a new mainboard with the latest intel cpus. They have always allowed everyone to just buy the board so they can upgrade their existing framework 13’s, thats their whole stick : modularity.
This time they also have a new screen panel and battery you could get to upgrade your system.
Also obviously new systems can be bought with the new hardware from the get go too.
I have a framework 16 that my boss got for me. Im a trial to see if we can save money by going framework instead of dell for the laptops developers use as things like the ports on the side, batteries and mainboards are easily replaced and upgraded. No need to waste +2600 euro every 3 years per laptop either if we can just swap the mainboard. They didnt want to finance the gpu, but when the laptop is mine after 3 years i will probably get the gpu for it :)
(In a framework 16 a gpu can be plugged in or replaced. Framework 13’s always use integrated gpu )
I wasnt talking about that. Those games were released on switch in a bundle lol
