Well, this is going to cause some headache. Lot's and lot's of IP behind Ansys too. And their product are all over several sensible industries. The ramifications of this acquisition could be interesting. I'm honestly surprised the regulators didn't cause more hurdle

Ultimatelly HDR is just more color and brightness information being accessible when an asset is created and the game visuals are put together. It's what the designer and the developer do with it that will make a difference. And if you just want to have more realism, SDR simply can't reproduce...

Any UEFI bios is natively able to boot from any storage that is adressable. Most motherboard targeted for consumer don't expose that possibility to the user, but it's trivial to modify the bios file to target a device since there are tools designed to edit uefi bios. I had a Z87X-UD3H-CF with...

How will they even ship these thing without risking attracting some scrutiny by the customs?

It uses a GPU of the same generation, Ampere. Saying that it uses an RXT 3something is misleading, this is not a discrete GPU.

That's not a VLC problem, that's a Blu-ray Disc Association and whoever own the patent for an hardware accelerated codec for hevc problem. It feels hacky because that's what it is.

So the CPU has no ram at all? This article doesn't make any sense. Is someone proof reading this?

DLSS3.5 does nod add input lag. You can chose to also use frame generation with DLSS 3 and it will add some lag, like all frame generation technique.

The old 8 pins pcie cable is anything but fool proof. I've seen it misused and causing melt down plenty of time. Let's not even speak of the molex adapters that they can use. If anything the 12 pins fault is to not be "janky" enough in a way that cause users to be too confident that the...

The simpler, more depressing, reason for this card to exist at this price is that sometimes an SFF GPU is the only way out of procurement hell. When you can throw whatever money at an "accessory" but you're stuck with <Mod Edit> unbalanced configuration for the desktops this is an easy way out...

Back then we still had to wait 2 generation of card to fully exploit the QIII engine and yet we are still taking about its "secret" algorithm and how fast it was. We also had to suffer almost half a decade of <Mod Edit> or half baked 3D games. I just feel like people have no idea about what...

I understand why you're saying that but you're missing out on what ray tracing is offering. First of all you can't really see what it brings on a still image, the dynamic real time lighting and shadowing allowed by the technique isn't going to appear obviously different without motion. Secondly...

Sadly this is not how it works. Doing "nothing" is not "supporting" W7. Its abandoning it. And if it lead to abuse, one way or the other, Valve will nevertheless have to respond to the people who have been wronged. In order to do what what you are proposing Valve would have to be build a new...

Gabe Newel also said several time that if steam ever had to close they would make as much game as they can DRM free.

Steam is foremost DRM platform, what you are proposing defeat its purpose. There are numerous way of accessing your steam library, even if your hardware is very outdated. At this point continuing on gaming on W7 is just stubbornness. And Sony and Nintendo attitude toward backward support and...
