The tech is still hugely better over 2 generations, but the power consumption keeps rising. Somehow a 120 watt last gen GPU became entry level.

there's already better search engines, I just wish they were better known. I use duckduckgo and I find the search results far better, primarily due to the lack of censored results. Also the complete lack of promoted results. If I search for something, I want what I searched for, end of story. Google hasn't done that for a long time.

No, you shall sit, down, shut up, and learn about what makes this a good poll versus to the bad ones you know about.

Your comment is supposed to be ironic but yes. Nvidia and AMD will soon stop fabricating expensive gpus if they don’t bring them enough money because no one can buy them. They’re companies, not cartoon villains who make expensive products just to fuck with the poors.

The 2080 is a 215 watt gpu. Games should run on 60 watt gpus like they used to.

Honestly if this comes to pass I wouldn't be surprised if major corps split into us/rest of the world divisions.

Americans will use vpn to see the eu version until that's banned too

A 1060 SHOULD play almost every game out there. The games that don't are mostly open world RPGs like we had in 2014 with low graphics settings options omitted.

The power consumption is what offends me most. Like, by now you should be able to play games on 200 watts, but nope, 500+ watts or GTFO.

It’s his own private company 🤷🏼‍♂️

So? Then make it more customer friendly for repairs. Don't punish the customers because your own system is trash. Make the ram install more user friendly.

Time to actually start writing more effective code and efficient hardware use.

LOL my 2016 graphics card is still 2/3 the price it was in 2016 accounting for inflation according to newegg. What a fucking failure of the "free market"

Exactly.

We in Reddit live in a tech bubble, but the majority of people I've worked with in non-tech companies couldn't find an answer in Google to save their lives.

They would talk to me, I would translate their questions into keywords that would bring the best results, then I'd show them the results.

The average person is that tech illiterate.

The first company that gets search engine plus conversational AI right is going to revolutionize the market.

There's a reason Google got so desperate with Bing AI's announcement. They know this. They also know this fundamentally destroys more than half their income (search ads), so they have to be the one that gets it first and mold it into something that favors them.

But new AI search startups? They have no stake in keeping search engines that lucrative. They can focus on the best product (for the user). If they destroy Google's business model and walk away with just 5% of the revenue, they still become one of the largest players around.

They don’t need to actually make one, they just need to throw $1B at appearing to making one so Google will throw them $5B more a year to have priority over it.

I keep saying they should just buy Duck Duck Go for a paltry $1B in cash (or less) or stock and then point to that acquisition everytime Google comes around asking to re-up their Google search priority contract for iPhones.

Google would pay an extra $5B the first year.

I have been struggling to find directions since a month

Eventually, but we are still many years away from that. Maybe once 5G becomes ubiquitous globally and the datacenters more geographically distributed this will be the case. But until then, most games will need to be run locally.

And that's gonna piss it off. Just another salesman.

it is a problem when games like hogwarts legacy barely holds 1080p60 fps on an RTX4090 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zofJ5yFvajA

Progressive ex twitter employee posts article on progressive newsite the atlantic, expressing feelings of not being a fan of Elon Musk's changes to Twitter, more news at 11

As if Twitter wasn't already a toxic hellscape long before Musk took it over

I'm fairly sure they look at the steam stats when they make a game and make sure it'll run ok on at least the top 70% of the in-use market.

Sure, you have to turn stuff off/down, but it still should play ok.

It's a volume business. They need sales. They need to target the audience that exists.

I'll note the 1060 is finally the #2 card on steam.

A 6 year old mid range card is still way up there in the market. It'll be hard for game designers to not target it.

I think they will just push everyone to game streaming from the cloud. maybe when valve gets bored with the steam deck.
