It's the acting like he didn't until he got caught out that's the pathetic part. Like he clearly wanted people to think he did it all, bragging about his chops on Joe Rogan etc that's the real giveaway of a total narcissist. And now he's confidently retconning that narrative because that's the only way he can save face.
Seems wild you would want to upgrade from a 4080 tbh. Rarely worth it gen on gen, although maybe it is if you are selling off your old one each time to fund it. Perhaps the economics works better keeping on top of the latest, I'm not too sure. I'm thinking about upgrading from a 3080, but that's mainly because the of the paltry 10GB of RAM being such a bottleneck now.
I'll postface this with saying there's obviously a market for economies within these things, like within Skyrim, Minecraft, Fortnite and whatever. It's just these economies will come and go. It's been happening since quake (arguably even since doom with custom WADs and whatever) but these things will never be the "steam of the future", just another place to capitalise on if the audience is there.
This all reads like some NFT multiverse investor hype vision of the future. Like sure, people are playing and enjoying mods/custom maps/whatever in games, but demos of one game inside another games engine or replacing steam? C'mon! It's not realistic or practical.
yeah I remember that argument too. Then how that argument went away when they fixed it for the sequel. having massive input delay before anything happens due to technical issues isn't an artistic choice. It's good copium though
A Killzone 2 remake where the controls are actually responsive could be cool.
I mean. Do I even need to click the link? No shit haha
My rough rule of thumb has been roughly every 2 graphics card generations, or about a console generation. I got a 1080ti a bit after the PS4 came out and a 3080 when the PS5 came out. But usually there's some game that's the actual reason. Like The Witcher 3 for the 1080ti because I wanted a stable 4K 60 and the 3080 to play Cyberpunk with RT
Sometimes businesses put features in their products that people will like and enjoy as a means to attract customers to their product, that they sell for money. The more you know!
Beats stuck making Wolfenstein games I reckon.
Also just to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with you about that under 20% number for better than these cards, also seems about right. I'm getting around 18% when I weed out all those misleadingly named laptop GPUs
I was curious myself so plotted the steam hardware survey into google sheets and got about 50% that have an RTX 3060 or greater. One could argue a 3060 is mid, I mean, it's got more teraflops than a PS5, but it's kind of entry level for anyone really into gaming on PC. but certainly there's plenty of older hardware out there, and probably quite a few people who bought a GTX 1660 or whatever hoping to get at least a couple more years out of it.
Baked GI looks decent providing you don't need things to be dynamic. Voxel or probe map GI can look good in most places except the places where it falls apart (small walls and the like where there's often light leak). But what looks a lot better is ray traced GI.
And path tracing (real ray tracing) looks amazing. In games like Cyberpunk it's absolutely transformative. It's just very, very heavy.
This thing runs fine on basically any RT capable card with 8GB of RAM provided you stay within your memory budget (and there's a big ol warning telling you if you dont). So basically any 20xx/30xx/40xx card from the last 6 years or any 6xxx/7xxx AMD card. I don't think it's unreasonable to at least expect the latest AAA game from Bethesda to at least use a Series S level graphics card. if you don't have a capable card a GPU upgrade to an RTX 3060 that will get you playing this...
Works fine on console level PCs too. Game runs like a champ.
Well, they are important. As are the other performance metrics relating to the RT cores. All those games you listed you could DEFINITELY run at native 4K no trouble on a 4090, until you click on the high impact RT settings. Indiana Jones on Xbox gets around this by gimping the RT.
I've a lot of love for Molyneux too. I know that's not a popular view. He had dreams bigger than his studios capabilities too. I'd rather dudes like this that try big and fail rather than all these boring as games we usually get. There was more creativity and interesting new mechanics and genres that came out of the glory days of Bullfrog and Lionhead than there's been out of the entire AAA gaming industry since.
@CrimsonWing69 not now that it's released haha. The prerelease hype on here about PSSR was wild
He dreamed big but couldn't deliver by launch. That video hasn't aged well, Almost all of those "bullshit" counts have actually been delivered upon. I've no doubt this was the original goal but was just too lofty for a small company in the time that he had. His interviews closer to launch weren't nearly as grand as he clearly realised where he had to cut back on ambitions but the damage had been done as an inexperienced guy trying to be the media guy as well as make...
Well, there's also lording over other another platform that doesn't have a particular release or to talk about how it runs way better on a particular platform. There's that too.
