True, but it looks horrible

No, it looks amazing. If you'd told me back in 1989 that my 4-bit adapter could display graphics like that, I would have died of shock.

EDIT:
Perhaps 2-bit CGA is more your speed.

AMD confirms Radeon RX 9070 series launching in March

This is bizarre. Judging by the performance leaks, 9070 is pretty good against 5070/Ti and there is no advantage at all to waiting.

Godfuckingdamnit AMD, I'm not gonna send my money to Jewvidia but at this rate, many people will do.

There's a certain aesthetic to well-done 2-bit CGA that modern graphics just fail to capture. The Eternal Castle Remastered is a good example of this. Game looks amazing.

there's nothing i love more than russian's love of 80s/90s tech. its like how they modded Fallout 2 into an MMO. more people played the South Park PC game than fallout 2 in the west, but russians love fallout 2 so much they keep modding it to this day and have made a half dozen knock offs. they kept the soul of late 90s obnoxious PC games with extremely out there ideas alive.

Russians are the final form of what a techno NEET would be in the west if they didn't succumb to employment or HRT. Just uncountable hours of pure autism poured into potato technology. It's glorious.

Honestly it feels like there should be a film from it. Like space cowboys but instead of hiring ancient people to fix some old computer stuff they have to hire Russian dirt bag zoomers.

Something like a class trip to a space station goes wrong and the zoomers have to save the station and survive by themselves?

i hope the star is a guy named Leaf! and he'll have a talking robot named Jinx!

i was focusing more on the russian part honestly.

So a Russian class trip. I thought that was clearly implied.

When your friend with a Commodore 64 asked if your Dad's IBM-PC with CGA graphics has any games they can see, you just muttered "no" and suggested that we "play Legos" instead.

NVIDIA claims melting connector issue has been resolved, GeForce RTX 50 should not to be affected

"B-b-but that was just user error!"

"B-b-but that was just user error!"

The user errors have been resolved by pricing out all their users.

 

[geckogoy]

I feel like companies claim issues are resolved more or less at random to the point there is no reason to be interested what they say anymore

Maybe they did solve it, there is just no connection between that and what they choose to say

 

[#lurker]

You asked about a hypothetical situation where no improvements in rendering technology or asset fidelity had been made in 14 years, and settings were identical between the two games. Since this isn't reality, the frame rate at 16K can only be compared in your imagination. I'm sure the imaginary version of 2042 runs at 30 fps.

It wasn't a hypothetical question. You already conceded new games look no better than their decade old predecessors ("because they target old hardware" was your excuse).
Please stop simping for terrible optimization and modern developers.

They just went back to 3 8 pin power connectors

They solved the issue by telling the gweilos to buy the new RTX 50 series.

NVIDIA finally shows off its quad-slot & triple-fan RTX 40/TITAN prototype with rotated PCB

Nvidia admits to the existence of the card Gamers Nexus got hold of.

NVIDIA RTX Blackwell GPU with 96GB GDDR7 memory and 512-bit bus spotted

Here's the workstation card based on the die the 5090 uses. Tripled memory from memory chips on both sides and 3 GB modules instead of 2 GB. 70B LLMs need this much memory.

NVIDIA May Aim For Up To 16 Generated Frames With Multi-Frame Generation Tech In Future DLSS Technology

The sky's the limit.

AMD explains March launch for Radeon RX 9070: focus on optimization and FSR4 support

More excuses. Now your late ass-launch has to have working drivers and good supply.
