The Phenom 2?!

I barely remember it, but yeah, it was a beast.

But my 1700x went hard for five years. The only reason I tacked the extra 5 on was x3d changes things up.

Now, since I’ve made that comment AMD has solved the Zen 5 latency issues but cutting it by more than half. That’s what was holding it back. So when the Zen 5 x3d comes out, it’s going to be nuts.

But…

It’s going to take a while for those changes to become industry standard. It might be a year before Zen 5 x3d, I’m not sure if they’ve even announced when. So games won’t take full advantage of them right away.

It takes like a 4070 super to CPU bound a 7800x3d, and fine tune some settings and it’ll balance out

We’re not going to have a new screen resolution jump, and that combo can max out 4k 120fps on pretty much anything thanks to frame generation without even touching upscaling.

There’s just not a lot to improve until we see a major jump like VR finally taking off.

the price of Zen 4 has dropped, and the 7800X3D in particular looks compelling to those who might’ve wanted Zen 5.

This is the big one.

Literally the best gaming chip from any company is a Zen 4 and surprisingly cheap

For most people they won’t need anything more than a 7800x3d for 5 maybe even 10 years?

I’d hate to say what GPU it takes to make cpu the bottleneck on one of those.

It’s weird on a day old thread you immediately get two extra upvotes, and I get three downvotes as soon as you reply…

I don’t help people who play thos silly games, have a nice life.

A two year old YouTube prediction with no other evidence?

Obviously you’re a man of science…

That’s an entirely different thing and not happening anytime soon…

That’s the worst thing about labeling this stuff “ai” it chefs lumped into crazy no feasible shit like you’re talking about.

Why wouldn’t it?

It’s talking about two things “AI” which is actually a pretty good use of the label

1. Generatinga lower Rez screen and upscaling.

2. Generating addition frames based on what might happen in between real screens

There’s no valid reason not to use that. Hardware costs more so you’d be paying a lot more money for the same performance. With less people making that choice, the price differential would be even greater.

Like, this is right. They can’t make them without this for low enough people will buy it.

It’s facts bro

Frame generation is fucking huge.

Especially since it works best at high frame rates. Like, if you were playing 30fps doubling to 60 might be a perceptable difference because of how long it is in between frames.

But going from 60 to 120, it’s still 50% “fake” frames, but the time between “real screens” is much smaller allowing for more frequent corrections to what the “fake” frames are predicting.

So while it won’t help a bad computer run anything, it can help a “mid” computer make what it can run look a lot better, because you can crank up a bunch of options to maintain the fps you were getting without I.

The bay in particular is like a door to fucking Narnia…

It’s never in the place it was last time, so bookmarks “expire” when the main site has to move, which seems to be multiple times a year

Yep.

The OG Light Bringer sentenced to eternal damnation for providing knowledge to humans.

And yes, I’m still salty Christians made him the bad guy.

It might seem like a subjective question, but the answer is objectively Prometheus and his replacements in other cultures.

Someone that went against God(s) to give humans knowledge that at the time was considered magical

Like, we talk about how much tech changes stuff today, but fucking fire?

Imagine being alive when your group of humans mastered fire. That shit would have been fucking mind breaking.

I have vivid memories of people having the firm belief that there was something up with the attack on 9/11. Was this just my social circle?

“Conspiracy” covers a lot of area.

There’s people that think explosives were planted because “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” and they’ve always been ridiculed.

There are people that look at facts that the different intelligence agencies had all the information to put it together, but due to Dick Cheney requiring each agency only report to him, he was the only one that saw every piece of the puzzle and would have known enough to stop it. GW didn’t even know enough, because Cheney was the only one talking directly to GW.

So some people have always thought Cheney (whether on his own or not) allowed 9/11 to happen to justify the wars he started under Regean and HW to continue indefinitely.

There’s people who claim Israel funded and caused it, when there isn’t really any evidence.

There’s people who claim Israeli spies were caught celebrating… But that was undocumented immigrants celebrating they got the day off work.

https://www.thejc.com/news/world/who-were-the-dancing-israelis-of-9-11-c7f9b960

That’s how conspiracy theories spread.

They took a kernal.of truth and build on it till it becomes something completely out of control.

Immediately after 9/11 everyone had questions and that’s 100% normal, I think that’s what you’re remembering.

It’s not the same as insisiting an unfounded conspiracy theory was true based on spurious evidence.

Kind of feels like it would be more appropriate to make it a post to the fedicerse and not just link to your personal blog…

Looks like about a hundred hit 120fps

https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-ps5-games-running-at-120fps

Performance is 60?

I thought it was 120 and that’s why this part made no sense:

According to Cerny, while 25% of PS5 owners have a 120 fps-capable TV (with 10% owning VRR displays), a vast majority of PS5 players will choose a game’s performance mode if available – with 75% of all users opting for higher framerates at the cost of visual quality.

But yeah, if 25% have 120 displays and performance mode only gets you 60 in some games, that’s a lot who will upgrade

Modern consoles with digital games already blur the lines on console generations, but like, very few games are even using the PS5 to max.

PC you can decide your own “generation”, and if you upgrade your PC, you don’t have to buy remakes, you just turn the settings up.

Between that and locking yourself to one entity to buy games from, there’s a lot of downsides to consoles and not many upsides left.

Almost everyone agrees there should be more compromises in politics

Bullshit.

Republicans want to “compromise” by getting everything they want.

Moderates politicians want “compromise” by giving them half and telling progressives to be happy Republicans only get half.

So most politicians say they want compromise, but I’d have to see a source for “almost everyone” saying it. Most voters don’t want compromise.

We got hella people, they got helicopters

They got the bombs and we got the…

Great.

So the social media site is older than I thought, and the person who made the comment on that site is a lot stupider than it seemed.

Like, Facebooks been around for about 20 years. Would you take a link to a Facebook comment over PBS?

And that linked accounts last comment was advocating for Biden to stage a pre-emptive coup before this election…

https://www.metafilter.com/activity/306302/comments/mefi/

It doesn’t matter if it was created before Ask Yahoo or if it’s older.

It’s random people making random social media comments, sometimes stupid people make the rare comment that sounds like they know what they’re talking about. And I already agreed no one had to take my word on it either.

But that PBS video does a really fucking good job explaining it.

Cuz if I can’t explain to you why a random social media comment isn’t a good source, I’m sure as shit not going to be able to explain anything like Penrose’s theory on consciousness to you.
