Hello there

My stuff:

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@TheBobPony this is what windows 8.1 should have always had to begin with

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@EirikrCA @TheBobPony @EAZYBLACK40 i will also note this is in theory, as there is a chance WARP could work with other drivers than the basic display driver, haven't actually tested this since it isn't out yet lol

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@EirikrCA @TheBobPony @EAZYBLACK40 the basic display driver is its own driver. if you install the intel driver, you'll lose aero, since you can't have both.

the GMA 900 driver does support partial DX9 but its XPDM so you can't render aero (needs DX9 Ex). There was never a WDDM driver so that is why aero is dead.

@EirikrCA @TheBobPony @EAZYBLACK40 well on basic display driver you would be rendering those games on the CPU instead of the 915G

@MaxfuritoHunter @CentroLeaks @NintendoAmerica they aint gonna pay you twin 😭

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@SapphireTech No one can afford GPUs anymore lol

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@RadioShackUSA will these record players damage your records with too much tracking force? i know those cheap crosleys had a problem with that

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@TheSMU_EE @militantboner @Pirat_Nation Fr though the difference between Nvidia on Linux vs AMD is wild. RADV is awesome

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@War_AK @werty2346 @Pirat_Nation What SteamOS supported system supports PCIe AMD gpus then?

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@royscott87 @David821071318 @tomwarren yet we get less, where's the phyiscal disk or cartridge? that was a major cost factor in the price of old games because physical production was expensive.

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@geirarneholum @BrodieOnLinux but not too old, nvidia already killed off pascal (which is probably the best cheap under 100 gpus you can buy right now)

and the open source drivers just arent able to do it since nvidia locked down clocking the GPU

sadly this likely wont be an old hardware king

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@AlfaProto @cats_and_rats_ @Pirat_Nation Gang the point is that the RT hardware we have in the budget section now is too weak for full path tracing and it will remain that way for a long time. I'm not saying RT will never replace raster but it will take a long long time.

Not sure what you are arguing at this point.

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@AlfaProto @cats_and_rats_ @Pirat_Nation Quake RT is very low poly and as such lower end GPUs can calculate and render the light easily.

If you want a new game with AAA graphics and still have full path tracing, then even new GPUs will struggle especially at higher res.

Ray tracing still isn't a good replacement yet.

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@AlfaProto @cats_and_rats_ @Pirat_Nation "So" you still need rasterization to get decent performance on a budget card. Full ray tracing is far too intensive. Which means ray tracing won't replace rasterization any time soon.

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@AlfaProto @cats_and_rats_ @Pirat_Nation Gang, Control does not use FULL RT, it uses hybrid RT and rasterization approach.

Something like Portal RTX is a better example since it uses full RT.

And shocker: it runs like garbage on a 3050 lol https://t.co/0Ht5IJzyaZ

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@AlfaProto @Pirat_Nation Would destroy the budget section and older cards if they did. PC gaming would become out of reach for many.

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@charles_o90392 @VideoCardz I still think it's pretty pointless to keep using this connector atp, the old 8 pin has shown itself to be significantly more reliable in the long run, even if you need multiple.

Or we could start using higher voltage so the melt risk lowers but that'll probably not happen lol

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@potina_ never use your psp memory stick at 3am or this happens

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@dangitman50 @jojojojojobz @OfficialPCMR Not to mention as home connection speeds improve in the future, you or even the next owner will very much appreciate having that bandwidth lol

[WinDVD @WinDVD_]

@amagicmantv Steam would be baller lol
