    ComputerBase - Upscaling Blind Test at 4K: Native+TAA vs. DLSS 4.5 vs FSR 4

    I kinda feel like this is just showing how awful TAA is. The links are in German so I can't tell what the methodlolgy was, but there's no question that DLAA looks better than TAA since you're rendering at full resolution on both sides at that point. The highest quality DLSS might also edge...

    Upgraded account

    I'm in the same boat, upgraded about a month ago and it hasn't gone through yet. I hardly ever post (or even login for that matter) but lurking still counts, right?

    Halo: Campaign Evolved (remake)

    I wasn't comparing it to the original xbox version, that one did look awful by today's standards, primarily due to low resolution. I was comparing it to the original PC release (equivalent to the classic mode graphics in the remaster). Basically you got the choice of blurry textures and...

    Halo: Campaign Evolved (remake)

    Sort-of. The master chief collection version had 'improved' graphics, but they actually looked worse than the original. The original holds up pretty well at higher resolutions. One remake/re-release of a game is enough though, the first is nice to keep the game playable on modern systems, the...

    The AI boom is unsustainable unless tech spending goes ‘parabolic,’ Deutsche Bank warns: ‘This is highly unlikely’

    How do you deal with bugs? All code has them, but at least for human written code they're somewhat predictable. The very hardest things to debug are when code looks right but isn't, and when there's no thought process behind it, it's even harder to work out what part is behaving incorrectly...

    Australian womens rights/anti-porn group gets thousands of games removed from steam by getting credit card companies to not honor purchases

    The problem is that the line is being drawn by a private company with a de-facto monopoly. We have govenrments for a reason. If the content is a problem, pass a law making it illegal. This is not something we should leave up to the whims of a corporation. I can't really fault Visa for what...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Remember when Oblivon was announced and they said they wanted a unique style rather than as 'realistic' as possible? Seems like Bethesda forgot about that. Maybe the comparison screenshots are a poor example but I could do without more 'brown everything'.

    If major Windows game releases also came to macOS, would you switch?

    What would I play them on?

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    I don't think that's entirely fair. Part of the brilliance of D2 was that everything did exactly what it said it did. There was no nonsense like 'X is a multiplier but Y is additive and Z is a multiplier that happens after multiplier W but only when...'. Skills did damage based on their...

    Cybersecurity Researcher Sheds Light On Windows 11 Data Collection

    It's not that complicated. People don't use Linux on the desktop because there is no single one-size-fits-all 'Linux'. Just like Windows, nearly every 'home user' type Linux install has some small thing that doesn't work out of the box. It's usually not serious or hard to fix, but there's...

    ASUS Rog Swift 32 inch PG32UCDM with 31.5″ QD-OLED Panel, 4K 240hz

    My current monitor is an older fixed-backlight IPS panel with a peak brightness of about 350 nits in a dark room. I have to turn it down to about 25% brightness or it hurts my eyes over time. I realize that that's a full-field image, but if 350 nits fullscreen is far too bright, what is the...

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    There are multiple storefronts selling lossless music in standard formats (FLAC, WAV, etc.). As far as I know, no one has ever sold full-quality digital movies or TV in an open format. We don't need CDs because we have an equivalent digital alternative. We do not have that for movies, and...

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    I never bought into DVD or Blu-Ray because they seemed to be dead-end formats that would eventually be obsolete. Now that we have 4K, nearly equivalent to the source material, with little to be gained by going to 8K, I can finally buy something and not expect to replace it. Just in time for...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    If you ever get a chance to see them side by side in a dark room you'd understand. A matte coating smears the reflection across the whole panel and muddies the image. It's affected by the light output from the monitor itself, so it's always a downside, even if your room is setup so reflections...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    For more than 10 feet you really need fiber optic. I had a certified HDMI 2.1 fiber cable from Monoprice and it frequently failed to connect. Replaced it with this one by Ruipro and it has worked fine for 4k@120Hz 10-bit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCFZG1W5 So yeah, it does seem like the...
