A competant driver team.
The spun off company from chinas nvidia branch “Moore Threads” has a gpu out that you can buy, but drivers are extremely terrible on it.
Intel is an example of a major corporation who jumped into the dgpu game a few years ago, and they ran into several driver problems and still have many to this day.
The hardest part of gpu design nowadays isn’t the hardware part, but the software side
Its why people eant that contract with qualcomm and microsoft to expire.
Albeit also bad for the future market, Nvidia is already itching to unseat x86 and qualcomm on pc if it can. (Part of the reason why the Nvidia buyout of Arm had to be stopped)
Its just a matter of getting a invite code from someone whose already in the door. There is basically lots of people who generate it for others. Id do it if I was at home.
The whole point of the conversation is that the other platforms arent doing any work for the consumer.
To this day, epic doesnt even launch on linux officially, and requires a 3rd party launcher to even play its games. Epics first party games are on the list of games that dont work on linux.
There’s clearly one company who puts more effort onto the consumer front than the other. Epic doesnt even need to make a custom OS like valve does, it just needs to get their own launcher working, and their own games working, which they dont and refuse to.
To say that Epic is doing better for the consumer is disingenuous (however it does better for the developer though)
Its ultimately based on the sites you frequent at work vs home. The sites i read stuff at work tend to be less in your face with ads,.so you know its there but theyre less distracting.
After i read that, I was like this man is a red flag
one of the largest yes, but the latter part of your statement is completely off.
just talking about nvidia AIBS alone off the top of my head, theres: MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, Zotac, Galax, Colorful, Inno3d, PNY, Gainward, Palit.
and this is just nvidias optioins. There’s a lot of competition. EVGA was a favorite to those living in the U.S due to having reletively better customer service, but it was far from not having competition.
it has some of the speed, but it’s not quite the same. direct storage is something the Xbox would have access to, but xbox is not directly hardware accelerated in the same way the PS5 is. Think similar to FSR VS DLSS. one utilizes special hardware in order to achieve its result.
Evga is an AIB(and a single one in a goant pool), not a GPU designer like Nvidia/Intel/AMD are. The equivalent in console terms would be like madcatz dropping out of the accesory creation game. The only difference is that the accessory makers also have a hand in the hardwares design, but not the actual compute core itself.
But its 2023, pc gamers get free games every week on epic without having to pay for an online subscription, and thats solely just epic.
Theres actually a single one on the PS5, it essentially has a chip to hardware accelerate storage to ram loading speeds that PC speeds cant fully tap into yet.
Playstation devs are just badly leveraging the sole advantage it has.
The Xbox is virtualy a pc.
The lower point of Fahrenheight is near the freezing point of brine (salt water) which freezes at -6 F (-21 C).
It was designed around what the coldest day at the time of its invention could get and the 100F was marked around how hot the hottest day of the year at the timr would get. Hence its choice to scale 0-100 to local weather vs celcius’ choice to use kelvin and offset it to standardize it to pure water.
computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.
I personally use openshell because its free, some people may prefer start10 or startisback. or go to more non vanilla options like Pokki
i mean users are free to use 3rd party start bars to have a windows 7 style start bar. The thing I always find odd is that if you opt for the 3rd party option, your experience with windows is mostly consistent.
One of the biggest features Windows gives users is the ability to modify stuff and people choose not to use it. It’s like anyone who outright chooses to use IE/Spartan/Edge and complain about it instead of just switching to a 3rd party option.
Probably took a while unless trained speed eater.
I personally attempted the 100 nugget challenge and the bottleneck for me actually wasn’t getting full, it was that your jaw hurts a lot chewing through a shit ton of nuggets. I couldnt even imagine doing over 4x that amount in a sitting
I always like to say, editions labeled SE are the “Shit Edition”
i mean is it hard to just name Jensen, espeically since hes now in the club of CEO of trillion dollar company house which the list is very very short.
They have some unique exclusives. But some game decisions are very questionable at times due to the lacktherof of funding for development.
of course, its just that its a huge task to undertake. People still give AMD shit for their drivers and they’ve been doing it for over a decade. It’s a huge problem for any company to build a competent driver team, especially for graphics, be it on PC or on mobile (e.g Qualcomm has a negative stigma for not supporting its devices long). The when for it is not in any short time window and would be a task that would take several years realistically. One way to fast track it would be approaching in an open source way (e.g AMD/Intel linux GPU drivers) but at a corporate level, drivers for those kinds of gpus usually cost way more to produce (part of the reason why workstation and server gpus are magnitudes more expensive than their consumer counterpart)
