Does the game even allow for it given its realistic game design?

Nope

They’re in the same family but have some differences.

Color me skeptical since they’re in with PEGI and they clarified Balatro as 18+ while games with literally monetary gambling and predatory monetization are rated for everyone.

Instant claim

Jesus, no. Just no.

For anyone who wishes to take a look at the game and support the developer.

I’m assuming it will be a zoom meeting that’s only accessible on a phone?

Yup. Defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yeah, if they can hit MSRP and have a decent supply I’m going to buy this card to replace my 4070 because Nvidia driver support for Linux just isn’t great I’m my opinion.

The issue lies with these publishers.

See the problem is that they don’t want to just make money, they want all the money and if your game you’re proposing isn’t based on a existing known IP and doesn’t include psychological manipulation to make all the money, preferably through a live service, well these executives don’t want none.

So to me watching that tech demo I see a lot of odd issues with the shadows acting weird, going blurry as the light sources bounce around.

Another question is what were they rendering on? I’ll bet a case of beer it wasn’t on a 9070 XT. So again why are gamers hell bent on having ray tracing when you can’t run it on “average hardware”?

Sorry but I’m still saying that RT is not ready for gaming.

The 9070 XT looks like it could be a contender, especially if you’re a Linux user. The non XT is a very much meh looking price to performance though.

AMD: Hold my beer.

Remember when upscalers were marketed as more a nice to have feature and extension of life of older cards vs a mandatory, proprietary think to make a damn game run?

Thanks but no thanks.

It might still be the future but in the present ready tracing isn’t ready to be mandatory in my opinion.

A good example I think would be ratchet and clank, rift apart.

When running with RT, there is so much noise and blurring that happens with the implementation and running with DLSS helps reduce that noise. In the end I turned it all off and enjoyed it much better with a smooth, high frame rate.

Not exactly making the case that ray tracing is the best solution.

I played it when it first came out and found it to be a solid, meh.

It was serviceable, enjoyable in short bursts with friends but the devs just keep nerfing everything, every weapon, every build that was good until it basically lost all the fun for me.

Can’t wait until I see some liquid cooling blocks and AIO solutions for this cable/connector and spec.

Such a shitty spec.

I’m surprised it’s just a 10% increase.

Because he actually gives a shit that Asus and Nvidia are trying to mislead gamers with price per performance on a price that doesn’t actually exist?

And did you just stop listening after the first few minutes?

Because his point is that between Nvidia and Asus they gave these cards to reviewers as a 750 dollar card when clearly they aren’t and reviewers are being misled into doing a cost to performance at that price vs what they’re actually selling them for. That portion of dishonesty is what he was complaining about.

Not the point he was making but okay.

It’s like people don’t RTFA before commenting.

That’s actually very welcome to me as a older gamer with a family.

I don’t have the time for these massive 100+ hour RPGs anytime, I’ve yet to finish BG 3, which I absolutely love, due to time constraints and trying to remember where I left off.

Yeah, I’ve basically stopped caring about the free games at this point. I mean I have a very full library of games there but most I already own on steam of gog and I haven’t played any of them, even the ones during the recent holidays.

I’ve said this when the original spec was released, it’s a bad design and a bad spec. 600W of total power on tiny, fragile, endpoints is not a good idea.

Keep in mind that US customer will likely pay a at least 10% more due to stupid tariffs and we’re still need to see what the actual performance is.

Sense pins are only there to inform the graphics card what the max power it can draw from the PSU, not for power management and load balancing. If someone from Nvidia misunderstood their own standard and made it past the CE, then it’s still excuses nothing since again it’s their own standard and has bad engineers or maybe they shouldn’t trust their AI to develop engineering specs for them.

Either way, it’s a bad design and a bad standard.
