Faster than FireFox3

Thats why i am using it :)

I don't care about URL highlighting or Improved search

@Riki: I am sorry to tell you that statistics prove you wrong!

Rikitatsu6448d ago

I didn't not based my judgment on statistics like some people like you do (Even though statistics favors Chrome)

I just simply tried both of them, Chrome is faster even without the AdblockPlus Add-on

ice_prophecy6448d ago

Google Chrome's infrastructure and goal in mind gives it potential to be greatly faster than firefox, albeit using more memory and processing power.

Baka-akaB6448d ago

More memory ? yes and no i'd say .

indeed it takes more initial memory , however unlike firefox 3 , it remains stable and doesnt go up .

I like firefox's interface , but it drives me to wall that it still hasnt fixed with it's 3rd version the main flaw imo : that damn memory leak .

For someone like me who enjoy keeping a huge amount of opened tabs , launch the browser with the same huge amount of tabs opening , it's a problem . Try having 350 mo of tabs+cache with firefox in memory , and let it on all night .. most likely by the morning it would have gone up to 500-600 mo .

My chrome cache in the beginning is heavier , but in the long haul remains the same , thus smaller .

Also any browser with its own personal taskbar and detailled infos on each tabs bandwith and memory usage , is a good friend of mine .

Chrome got some kinks to iron out , and a few missing interfaces features , but its shaping up really good , and already a good runner up for firefox imo .

The main reason why Firefox is the best. AdBlock.

PopEmUp6447d ago

adblock come to chrome I think it's safe to used CHROME as your standard browser, and FIREFOX is your backup plan

Close_Second6447d ago

...and I'm hooked. It loads faster, it browses faster. Its simple and sleek.

To be honest, its still just a web browser and at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. Some will stay with IE, others with Firefox, etc. Use the one you like and live with it. Its not like its a major life changing event.

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger35d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard35d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer35d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee35d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger35d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Andrew33635d ago

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee35d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k435d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33635d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher35d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3435d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger35d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
