This is also a good one. Do you notice any battery life changes after the tdp changes that are substantial? I never looked into it too much, but I assume there are very subtle ways to get a bit more battery without too much sacrifices

Decky loader is actually very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Interesting one. I was aware of btrfs but never thought about for the deck. Heroic is on my toolbox already

Thanks for pointing out. Usually I didn’t fiddle with settings at all, much less with the steam deck ones, since usually things look good enough without much effort

Right, didn’t even think about steam settings. Half rate shading is off

OK, finally managed to sit with the deck after a long day. So from what I see, no fsr enabled. For the screen resolution, is at windowed at 720p, no framerate limit, motion blur is on (turned off now), chromatic aberration is on (what is even that??), Asus aura ready on (for… Some reason. Turned it off now). As for advanced settings, all low except texture quality and mesh quality on high

Since I am not from the us or ever been there, I do have a question: are there people that truly believe in this bullshit?

Persona 5 is an amazing game. Played back on my ps4, later when trying game pass and I am sure I will play it probably more 2 or 3 times after I get it for PC. Still don’t have it because no version on gog… Or no denuvo for that matter. Before anyone mentions: I am very aware that denuvo anti cheat and denuvo anti tamper are 2 very different things. However, single player games that need a “ping” in order to run? Fuck that nonsense

Nice to see these posts being made and adding more quality content around here. Keep it up!

As for what I am playing now: I decided to kick myself in the groin and get persona 3 reloaded, going against my principle of not getting anything with denuvo. Been having a lot of fun with it, but eventually, will get a version without this bloody nonsense and archive it.

… Did they check this place on a Wednesday?

I watched hub review and this one, not sure what to make of this. Some games is actually quite alright, some it gets heavily stomped. In general, price sounds OK but depends how much they cost in the end on the stores. For all intends and purposes, if the price is met then its in a much better showing than the 5070 and 5070ti for the price point. If the price goes down eventually for the 50 series (which over time, should) then it becomes a bit more difficult to choose this over the 5070ti (vram capacity is still a shit show at this price for nvidia no matter what).

Nvidia DESERVES to be fleeced after the mind blowing stupid marketing saying 5070=4090. I did not see a single person that fell for that. And even with that out, the card is meh at best.

Was busy almost 100% blasphemous 2

What I see in general in the indie scene people are much more willing to experiment with different concepts than regular AAA. For that alone I think is always a good idea to check the indie section. But I am also aware since there is a lot of volume, there is also a lot of straight up shovelware, which makes it difficult to navigate. By people talking about it, we can have more visibility as a group to see what is actually good and what is not from such a big selection.

My signal app tries to update itself. Installed from obtanium. It is a very irritating process, the thing tries to update, there is sometimes weird response times from clicking it (you click the notification and simply do not know if something is happening) and then without notice the thing restarts and then usually it works. But sometimes, the update notification still comes back. Because of that, I just update via obtanium

That is for sure true. And this variance that creates the “binning lottery” people talk about (and why there is some people that will pay premium for specific high binned parts)

So in this case, the rop were not detected because of firmware? Strange, but at least would be solvable. Let’s see if this situation for the 5090 is the same

If the spec does not follow the expectations, I assume they have to recall those. Right? If not, someone is asking for an official recall and get their rears destroyed.

There is a lot to be said about the 50 series so far:

• reviewers by en large are extremely fed up with this situation (msrp is a value, street value is way more inflated. This skews a lot the review process)
• people simply cannot get them (mostly scalpers for now I would say)
• if we check in a vacuum the msrp and performance between 40 and 50 series, in the same segment is not an impressive uplift
• the 5090 PCB is a massive fiasco (if you do not know what the problem is, check buildzoid video on the 12x6 connector and PCB issue). And by the looks of it, 5080 might suffer the same

My opinion regarding the pricing issue is going to be decided in the next months. If people cave for scalpers or pre scalper prices, price anchoring will be in full effect for next release. If people as a collective get a back bone and don’t cave in, prices will have to be more normal than this nonsense. Still the connector issue for 5090 really needs to be addressed in an official capacity for nvidia to do something about it.

Last time I heard, no drivers were available yet. So… You are getting a brick at this point.

That is an expensive door stopper that will evolve into a gpu
