That’s just growing things.

I have a few little house plants, that were foisted on me by my sister. But by no stretch of the imagination is that at all related to farming.

Even gardening at its most extreme, only might be a hobby farm.

Actual farming, is a whole other kind of annoying. Its just way different when your lively hood depends on it.

What? Is there a natural human inclination to farming?

I ask because I’ve always had a natural disinclination to anything out in the sun.

Nvidia ceasing to exist is exactly what I’m talking about here.
When people have no choice they’d make ROCm work. It’ll take some extra effort, but it would get the job done just fine.

They’re not what I think of as a “Key Company” for anything.
That would require them to be irreplaceable in some aspect, on any reasonable timeline. But if they disappeared tomorrow, AMD would be able to step in and cover every use people had for Nvidia products.

(Accept maybe the Nvidia Shield. But Nvidia seems to have largely quit that anyway)

The closest thing they have to irreplaceable is CUDA. But AMD has been making leaps and bounds improving their GPU software. It would take the market maybe 6mo, or a year. But it would adjust without much trouble.

How does it feel like DOOM if you’re using WASD instead of the arrow keys?

Is this a joke?
It was a $300M movie with a marketing campaign to match. It was unavoidable for nearly two months.

Literally not a paper launch.
And very typical with every new Nvidia generation.
What else would anyone expect?

DMCA says bypassing encryption at all, to copy something, is illegal.

To be fair. Taking a risk on something unknown, with half a billion dollars on the line, isn’t smart.

Any odds their next release is a PlayStation exclusive for 2 years?

It was clearly designed to be a practical scam, bilking the ignorant, who can’t afford the up front cost of a new computer.

Messing up isn’t the phrasing I’d use.

I think it was kind of the reason. But that statement is also correct. Technically.
With CP2077, they were pushing the Red Engine well beyond what it was supposed to do. Which lead to both, them deciding to switch to Unreal, and causing a bunch of bugs. So the bugs weren’t the reason; They were just another result of the reason.

Not even. My skin was crawling just watching the trailer.

NopeNopeNopeNopeNopeNope.

Looks dope if you like that kind of thing.
I do not.

Do procedurally generated levels and things count?

For reasons having nothing to do with gaming.

I’m not sure I understand why they don’t.

I thought bringing chiplets to GPUs, meant they’d be able just add as many CUs and cash dies as they needed to get on top. Even if it’s $3.5k and 1000W, they should be able to. They could sell 100K units as some limited edition special thing, and pull mind share away from nVidia by having the undisputed top card.

But they don’t. Which is why I think they undervalue having a halo product. They don’t think it’ll push units further down the product stack. I think they’re clearly wrong about that. People buy cards that fit their budgets. But they buy brands they know to be the best.

I think they underestimate the marketing value of a halo product.
That, or it’s just spin to account for the fact that they don’t have one.

All 4 of them are cheaper than the launch price of their 7000 series counterparts. That’s quite good really!

Am I the only one who doesn’t like to use these?
And refuses to use the frame generation?

I’d much prefer real 30fps, over strange fake 120.

4K seasons of shows.
You can compress Blu-ray quality video down to 10-15% of the space if you throw enough CPU cycles at it. Typically it takes me about 20 hours, per hour of video.

Honestly, I’m more interested in the new motherboards.
Apparently they made some real improvements to the memory system, supporting up to DDR8000.
I don’t need that speed, but I would like improved stability. My current system can’t run Handbrake for more than 36hours without things getting weird.
