    Cerabyte's Ceramic Storage Medium Hyped as Industry Disruptor

    Internal company politics and poor leadership generally allow holes to open in the market for smaller competitors to enter and eat their lunch, it's happened again and again throughout history. I don't think it's as unlikely as you might think.

    Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 GPU Could be 50% More Powerful Than Current Gen Adreno 740

    They probably want this in tablets and light weight laptops.

    LG Display Claims Samsung's QD OLED More Susceptible to Screen Burn Than LG's WOLED

    Isn't the same true for an RGB OLED? Being that nits are light per square meter measurement, and if you only turn on the Red subpixels you only achieve 1/3rd the output brightness vs. all the subpixels turned on?

    Editorial NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution Tested, AI Enhanced Streaming That Barely Makes a Difference

    For brighter videos this seems to work quite well, but for darker content the AI has a hard time distinguishing what's "noise" and what's "detail". The two screenshots post show 1) No VSR 2) VSR level 4. The content is running from my plex server, it's the Aliens from 1986. At the time of taking...

    Intel Reorganises its Graphics Chip Division, Raja Koduri Seemingly Demoted

    Lol, what is wrong with some people in this thread? I'd hate to be in a room with half of you trying to have a civil conversation. A lot of sad boys at arm chairs throwing rocks at a giant. Raja could out engineer and out manage any one of you, the fact that he has the chops to be a lead...

    How much would you pay for RTX 4080?

    You're examples work because they are cherry picked. Let me cherry pick some examples. The advent of shader programs. Better looking games, lower frame rates, and simply not possible on cards without it. You also have no idea what you're talking about with game audio, there are seriously...

    How much would you pay for RTX 4080?

    It's a comment on the ridiculousness of the notion to reject the new thing cause the old thing is just fine. Yes, the old thing is fine for you, if you don't want progress, go back to the stone age. Like I mentioned earlier, as a game dev and graphics programmer, rasterized triangles are at...

    How much would you pay for RTX 4080?

    I see people talking about cost per mm2 for production costs. Yep, sure that's increased. But did you even look to see the mm2 used by each GPU? RTX 3080 : 628.4mm2 RTX 4080 : 379mm2 Even if their per mm costs have increased the die size has drastically decreased, by 40%. It definitely does...

    Google Calls it Quits on Game Streaming, Shutting Down Stadia

    Show me a business case where any of these services make sense. SPOILER: It doesn't.

    BenQ Launches 4LED Short-Throw Projector for Immersive Console Gaming in XXL Format

    Literally the entire point of vsync is to eliminate screen tearing. If you've been applying it, then it hasn't been working as intended. To that end, I know of at least one case where a screen didn't properly sync with the video card and vsync didn't remove tearing like it should have. So no...

    BenQ Launches 4LED Short-Throw Projector for Immersive Console Gaming in XXL Format

    Yes it does. I feel like you've never used vsync before. If you have a display at 60hz and you have vsync enabled, then your frame rate drops below 60, say to 50, (more accurately your frame takes 20ms to render, which is longer than the 16ms time you had to hit 60fps) then the engine/driver has...

    Google Pulls the Plug on Pixelbook

    Am I the only one that really loved the Pixelbook? Yep, the price wasn't great, but it was an extremely well made device that felt awesome to type on / use. If the screen was OLED and the speakers a bit better I would have never let it go, I miss my pixelbook. it was a little linux platform with...

    LG Takes Gaming Immersion Next-Level With World's First Bendable 42-Inch OLED TV

    I use an LG C2 48 as a PC monitor and it works just fine with PC Power management, the screen dims/goes black just fine.

    Samsung Electronics Unveils Odyssey OLED G8 Gaming Monitor at IFA 2022

    Which in this case, is a HUGE difference (as someone who had the 27" G7 and went to OLED).

    Chinese SMIC Ships 7 nm Chips, Reportedly Copied TSMC's Design

    I think a lot of people in this thread are confusing chip design with chip fabrication. Having people in factories look at a chip it after its been manufactured won't tell you how to fabricate the chip. It doesn't matter if there are "soldiers" in the assembly plants where the cards get put...
