Liquid Nitrogen testing is the auto rag racing of computers. Not practical for everyday use, but is can be interesting/fun to do/watch.

I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.

Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.

On my system with raid0 dual pcie4.0 nvme drives, most of the time is spent decompressing and processing the data. There is always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, whether it is the drive, cpu, gpu etc.

This was exactly my first thought as well and I agree it is good business sense. I am in ok with console versions coming out first and getting the kinks out before PC.

Would it be great to do all at the same time? Yeah, but I would rather not deal with another CP2077-like release where it is out on everything and buggy on everything.

Is it even legal in the EU for a company to allow sales in one part, but not another? Do they actively clock PS(4/5) devices from being activated in parts of the EU?

I’d think this would be illegal, but I am not from the EU.

I really have enjoyed this game. A couple things I wish it had was proper wheel controller support and a VR mode for driving around night city would be pretty cool.

Of course they did. Don’t change it after release. In the future with a game like this they should make the singleplayer side part of the base game and move the multiplayer to a free “DLC” and just not offer that “DLC” where psn isn’t available if that is going to be a thing.

OBVIOUSLY it would be better to not have that requirement at all.

Not sure what the hell they are thinking. Also wonder how much money was refunded. Doesn’t even get into the number of buyers they are excluding.

I will just say it uses an ARM A5 which was introduced in 2011. It is 32bit processor which could be problematic as most linux distros are moving or have moved to 64-bit. And most importantly only has USB2.0 ports.

At this point I think they may want to hold off on releases for a while. They could do development, but wait til sometime after the Switch 2 is out to publish the code and executables. Allow things to settle down a bit.

I’d like to see a Quake2 reboot myself, like what was done with Doom & Wolfenstein.

That is the better approach. If Nvidia had done that as the first though, they would be getting a “they are making it look bad on purpose” response. That would be worse than the, it only work on nvidia hardware, response from users. With Microsoft working on a D3D12 upscaling approach, every hardware provider will have a standard interface to make it look best on their hardware.

That said AMD does need to get an AI upscaler. The difference in quality is to great to hand write. At 1080p native it doesn’t matter much as most look pretty, but at higher resolutions, ie 4K, the difference is massive. And it would be best for them to have something ready for futue PS6 and Xbox next.

From what I garnered this is revenue, not profit. Also comparing the companies to Apple, FB & Microsoft is not really a fair comparison. I know it was the Valve employees doing this. Probably a better choice would have been something like a restaurant chain or store like Walmart.

Really like this game. I am not a completionist, but I believe I have done all the endings including the DLC. Got nearly 300 hours in. Has it been buggy? Yes. But that was mostly resolved to a playable state a couple/few months after release.

Hope to see something in the same universe in the future.

Assuming the chips have a 32bit bus and are 2GB, that would be a 32GB 5090. Probably less on the lower models.

I think that is debris. I tried using some 3-in-1 oil on 3 of mine and they work fine now. There is probably a better choice of lubricant though

Looking forward to this. Really love CP77.

Also, it surprises me they don’t use other studio names like “CD Projekt Orange” and other colors.

That doesn’t surprise me. I can only think of a couple games I bought at or near full price. One was a game that was priced fairly recently at $30(usd) msrp and I think I got it for $3 off and the other was at $60. Otherwise I generally wait. If developers want to raise msrp prices to $70, most will still wait, but will end up paying $3 to $6 probably on average more. When you consider inflation over the years it is surprising they don’t already have a much higher price.

Have they actually done any banning or such? I have seen Phantom Liberty on sale repeatedly since it launch on GOG, but haven’t seen it once on Steam.
