Oh cool. More manufacturer specific features to lock consumers to Nvidia. Because RTX and DLAA have been soooo good for the gaming industry.

Pity nobody can afford better cards from Nvidia or anybody else anymore then.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

It won't matter if someone else makes a better card when features like mega geometry and RTX are only available on Nvidia cards.

Honestly if anyone is still willingly supporting nvidia they deserve what they get

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, but with AMD apparently jumping on the "AI" bandwagon and Intel being... Intel, we aren't exactly spoiled for choice right now. Besides, Nvidia's financial shenanigans ultimately hits everybody right in the DRAM equally anyway.

Yeah, its not a great time to be purchasing PC hardware :/

[–] Aliktren@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Because new video cards are cheap and easy to aquire ??

Huh. So I won't be playing the Witcher 4. Oh well, I kinda suspect that Witcher 3 was lightning in a bottle that they'll NEVER replicate.

[–] Tim_Bisley@piefed.social 6 points 6 months ago

I enjoyed Witcher 2 as well. I only played it once though. I've played witcher 3 several times now.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I honestly don't get the overwhelming praise for Witcher 3. It was, like, good overall but I had a lot of nits to pick with it that everyone seems to overlook.

I only played a few hours, don't really understand the hype. Maybe having read some of the books made me less curious?

[–] alphabethunter@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I played the first 20h, of which there was a solid 4h where I was not in control of my character, and a lot of immersion breaking bad game design elements (Griffon quest was particularly jarring). So I dropped it and never understood the hype either. CP2077 was yet another reminder that CDPR game design is mid at best.

cool, another feature for youtubers/streamers and like a handful of people who can afford those cards. god this company is so tiring

Who gives a shit? Computer graphics have peaked a long time ago. Anything slapped on top is just the tech industry trying to generate value where there is none.
