3 meters away from a 55" TV gives you a very poor 23 degree viewing angle, let alone 4. The maximum SMPTE recommended viewing distance for that screen size in 16:9 is 2.3m.

In other words, for 4K to stop being perceivable, you have to make your experience worse in other ways.

Most people’s TVs aren’t even big enough for people with average eyesight to see a difference between 1080p and 2160p.

Why do people keep repeating something so easily disprovable? You can tell 1080p and 1440p apart on a laptop, let alone 1080p to 4k on a TV.

Alan Wake 2, Indiana Jones, Doom TDA, Stalker 2 all have no fallback lighting option and won’t work on PCs less capable than a Series S or Nintendo Switch 2.

Source is RDNA3 not being able to handle FP8 on any OS. It just can’t do FSR4.

There is an unofficial INT8 version of FSR4 that was leaked from AMD that works on RDNA3, but it’s a lot slower, and FSR4 is already pretty heavy.

I sincerely doubt that even if another launcher did everything Steam does, it would rival it without huge amounts of money being thrown around. People already use Steam.

And that’s assuming they get to this point, ignoring that Steam had decades to get there. It used to be ass.

And FIFA

As a player, I feel like discovery is great. I found literally dozens of interesting games just by scrolling down the main page.

I don’t know how it’s for devs, but it’s probably all but impossible to get traction if you’re just throwing your game in there, Fests being a compromised solution to an impossible problem

That’s hard to do when Steam has all but cornered the market. Say what you will about Epic’s ineptitude, but even investing billions, the publisher of the biggest game ever can’t break into the market. Now imagine how hard it’d be for a smaller player.

3 and 4 were made with the limitations of PS4/XBOne’s CPUs that weren’t good even by 2013 laptop standards. A new game made with the right people could be something new and cool, but how the realities of AAA game development don’t help.

1. Software Lumen is raytracing.

2. Hardware RT did not have nearly that much of an impact when DF tested it, nor does it usually have such an impact compared to regular Lumen in other games. They even recommended setting it to on in the future if the shadows are fixed. So it’s very likely a bug he, and possibly others, experienced being reported as intended behavior.

Did the editor not watch the video the entire article is based on? It does >70 in at 4k with DLSS Quality (so 1800p native).

Not to say the game doesn’t have bad issues. Hardware RT is broken (that’s what prompted the performance drop on Daniel Owen’s video. Digital Foundry measured only a 6% drop with it on when not CPU limited, but the RT Shadows are shimmery af and makes it actually look worse than regular Lumen) there’s the usual shader compilation woes and a lot of the higher settings have a lot of cost for very little gain; but the article is clickbait bullshit.

Isn’t that Garfield’s owner

We don’t believe in AI, says the developer of AI Art Impostor

You can get some great controllers on AliExpress. Got a Flydigi one two years ago and it became my go-to.

Hardware Lumen looks way better than only software

You can achieve, and beat, PS5 read speeds on PCIe 5.0. No game will really take advantage of it though. They don’t even really take advantage of it on the consoles

Still better than coming with Windows

Exceedingly rare NVIDIA W
