"clustered geometry" looks like it

yeah I always got the impression MS and Nvidia wernt on the best of terms after the OG Xbox
I mean why wouldnt MS use Nvidia if they were tight like that, instead their DX feature set is basically what we can expect in the next Xbox which is AMD
I think what upsets me about raytracing is Im not sure I'll be alive to see it to the end, with 3D it took off in a big way and so fast. There was 10 years between Unreal and Crysis, we're quickly coming up on a decade of RT and its definitely improved but Im not sure the visual difference is as much as between those two games
Atleast it seems to be more approachable than VR but RT on VR would look mind blowing but not sure we'll get there
woven wing
I could fall back to 'simpler' methods, but I want to try the hot new stuff to see if to fits since my new project is set in a big massive forest, and the Witcher 4 stuff was like "look how insane we can make big massive dense forests!"
And shadows were a problem when using the new voxel nanite foliage + nanite assemblies
pearl elk
theres rumours the next series from Nvidia will have a 2x RT performance bump but typically they focus on highest end so on the 6050 or whatevers it might be slow
I heard that Witcher 4 demo ran better on Epics stuff than NV branch, that initial demo was on console. Not sure how true that is, I was going to look into it

nv branch is up to date at least

Gemma 4 is built using the same research that powers Gemini, but with a key difference, it is open. Developers can download it, tweak it and use it freely under an Apache 2.0 license.

well from my understanding, layoffs included 4 months pay, pension and medical. If the medical lasts a certain time only, then it has to be renewed but they won't renew it? Also I highly doubt if Tim was aware of this specific situation he would let that happen.

There are stupid government shenanigans happening with their health system, especially budget-wise.

It depends on how 'scummy' the health insurance provider is being. They sometimes have 'weird' policies, where you pay reduced premiums, but the big coverage is dependant on assured income on your part and stuff.

yeah we are like that in the UK. Yet people freely give up that info here in most cases. Almost like people love to whine about their medical issues in Britain. It reallys gets on my anxiety and depression laden nerves :p

So, if there's a break in income for example, certain clauses will come into effect, essentially making the policy useless for what you need.
