I'm honestly pretty pretty disappointed with AMD once again, the stock numbers we're nearly as bad as Ampere despite RDNA2 being Margin machines, and their encoder still sucks royally, as far as i know that's more of a firmware tie in than driver, so I don't imagine that'll improve very much over time. I was gonna buy RDNA2 out of spite but at this point if I can't get either right now then I may very well just get a 3080ti when it comes out.

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

Ps5, Xbox Series X & S, Zen 3, RDNA 2. When you think about even if great yields that's stretched pretty thin

#

Then again who knows, maybe for whatever reason AIBs have more cards phaSip

strong whale Nov 18, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

I did think of this but I'm fairly certain the consoles have been getting produced for months already

#

as far as Aib's go, AMD won't say when they launch so i'll just say what the leaked date is, it's the 25th, their stock will be better overall but will sell out instantly too

#

The consoles only launched with like a couple million units worldwide, for a next gen console release that isn't far from paper launch if you ask me, considering tens of millions of these units are in high demand right now

#

idk if AMD is just broke or what lol

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Nvidia launched in September, and it's a right pain in the ass to even find a card in stock. AMD would just need to do better than that, though it doesn't look good just based on today alone

strong whale Nov 18, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

if they had made even just a couple hundred thousand units it would've been a massive win for amd

#

but their numbers were borderline Ampere levels of atrocious

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

We heard a while ago, granted it was a rumor that there would be loads more Ampere cards this month; but alas

strong whale Nov 18, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Amd f'ed up is what it comes down to at the end of the day

#

as usual

merry bay Nov 18, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

I understand people are upset about stock issues(I am too) but that being the main complaint over why you're not choosing the product sounds pretty weak reasoning. If anything, staying in stock would only say the product isn't desired, given the demand is higher than ever.

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

If Ampere didn't set this record demand and there were plenty of Ampere cards to go around, then it would be the same for AMD. It is what it is

#

Could even go back further and attribute some of the demand to the 20 series kind of being undesirable to a certain extent, I can't be 100% certain but most people who have pascal cards kept them over "upgrading" to Turing.

strong whale Nov 18, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

I probably should have clarified better, the stock issues on both ends has ticked me off some but what disappoints me is what AMD's cards have to offer, so far we have no super sampling and i have doubts as to if it'll even be good (you'd think they'd show off an engineering benchmark of sorts), and I say this because just like they didn't show off their raytracing performance was because it is pretty bad, only a little better than Turing from what I've seen, given it is AMD's first gen raytracing and how only 5 or 6 games support it, it is forgiveable but keep in mind these will be the cards AMD offers for the next 2 years, on top of that it's the same architecture that will be used in both consoles for god knows how long. And of course their encoder among other productivity related performance, But that's just my take on it.

#

Regardless I expected both launches to sell out but not to both be paper launches

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

I think it's too early to say it's a paper launch, not everything has launched yet. Just the reference models. Course I admit I'm not confident that the AIB launch will be too much better

strong whale Nov 18, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

well i just hope the rug gets pulled out from under us and the aibs magically have tons of cards available

vapid crypt Nov 18, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

I was able to get a card into cart on the AMD website just to see if I could

#

Don't know if I would have been able to snag it though cause I'm really not interested in buying one now

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

i gotta say, i disagree fully with the statement about AMDs poor ray tracing being forgivable because its their first attempt at it.
simply put, my reasoning is that if it was any other manufacturer in any other industry, it wouldnt be forgivable to be missing features when you are asking for a similar price.
i mean, hell, look at the epic games store, people go on about how steam had years to develop its features, but epic knew before they had even released their store what would be expected of them, and that they would be constantly compared to them

#

while the 6800xt and the 3080 might go blow for blow in regular rasterization, theyve justified their missing or inferior features as being worth 50 bucks

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

That's fair, though I will say that their first try is still better than Nvidia's first try. At least from what I can tell, and that's kinda better than I expected anyway

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:03 AM

#

probably is, but they also came to the party a few years later than nvidia

#

i think its probably a reasonable expectation to be better when youve had more time and an idea of what is going to be expected from your product

#

imagine if theyd released with RTX performance that was worse than the 2000 series

#

raytracing was barely worth it on anything other than a 2080ti, and even a 2080ti was questionable

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

They've priced the cards the way they did cause they can, and what I mean by that is seeing as it's pretty difficult to get an Ampere card they're using that to their advantage. Otherwise it should be like 499, 599 respectively I'd say

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

its not particularly easy to get a 6800 xt either

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

Oh I know, but that doesn't matter as long as they get the money ultimately

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

true

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

People will buy it regardless because the demand is just that immense

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

bit of a scummy move imo

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

That's corporatism

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

first time in years theyve had any card that could compare to nvidias high end cards

#

and they are milking the availability for whatever its worth

#

though i suppose nothing can beat MSI when it comes to milking availability

#

cant wait to see them scalping their own 6800s

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

They won't make that same mistake again, unless they're braindead

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

honestly, at this point i feel like they are

#

their excuses were so dumb

#

just typical corporate mumbo jumbo

#

without actually taking any responsibility

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

Well anyway, there might be more availability from AIBs next week. I know

#

Asus was talking about poor availability

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:11 AM

#

they didnt even acknowledge that they were being sold for well over MSRP, aside from a little foot note about refunding the difference

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

I think they got the short end of the stick though

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

hard to tell with asus

#

at least over here, we get a lot of stock

#

but they are also stupidly popular

#

my local shop had more asus 3080s than any other card, and they were still the first to sell out

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

Everyone else got the silicon, like Sapphire. I could see AMD shorting Asus since they've been pretty shitty with their products

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

cant argue there

#

im actually shocked at how they handled the 5600

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

They did well with that compared to others?

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

AMD pulled a bait and switch with their bios last minute

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

I know it was kind of a shit show in general because of the sudden Bios update and memory spec change

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

asus fucked up the mounting pressure, so thermals got a bit dicey with the higher power limit on the new bios

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

They fucked up mounting pressure more than once?

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

coz they used the AMD spec

#

every single other manufacturer picked up on it

#

and used higher pressure from the get go

#

so it wasnt an issue for anyone else

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

I shouldn't be surprised actually that's the kind of quality control I would expect from them at this point

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:15 AM

#

compare that to the 3080

#

where they picked up on the capacitor issues during testing

#

ive never had any issues with ASUS products, but man

#

i dont get how they dropped the ball on the 5600 that badly

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

You think it's just they have teams that handle specific product lines

#

And the guys that handle radeon cards are dumb

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

i considered that

#

like

#

literally 5 seconds ago

#

and i suppose its possible

#

but considering how little time a lot of AIBs get with the cards before launch

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

They're hiring the wrong people if they messing up that much

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:18 AM

#

it would leave them with at least a year of thumb twiddling

#

plus, id imagine that the people designing their cards have at least built a few cards

#

mounting pressure wouldnt be a new concept for them

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:21 AM

#

Oh sick thanks I'll check it out

#

SOmehow missed that

restive garnet Nov 19, 2020, 4:24 AM

#

minimum specs are fairly low, but it can be a bit of a hefty game at times

#

lots of shadows, lots of particles

#

i would probably even take the recommended specs with a grain of salt

#

probably fine most of the time, but sometimes the game likes to drop frames for next to no reason

analog marsh Nov 19, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

I think the only issue I had is a lower ram than recommended

#

Only 8GB

#

Which isn't idea l

#

ideal

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Most devs probably over estimate on the RAM I think

analog marsh Nov 19, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

But I probably wouldn't be playing at max

#

I heard the game recently got a performance update yeah?

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 4:41 AM

#

Yeah they updated the engine to the latest revision

#

And polished it a bit, I noticed a good 10% increase

#

Actually probably more like 15%

@proper wren Why you going for NVIDIA now?

vapid crypt Nov 19, 2020, 8:14 PM

Not even close with the rtx thou

#

The 6800 was impressive, but I’ll need the rtx for dev stuff 🙂

#

I might get a 6900xt down the line as well so I can compare them thou

#

Wait, what cards are you referring to locking horns with the 3090?

#

I’d say rtx, especially with dlss 2.0 has the potential to be one of those new new big leaps,
So I’m curious to see how it develops going forward 🙂

#

Ah yeah the 6900xt looks neat!
But choosing 3080 vs 6800xt id still choose the 3080 due to rtx

But I like AMD being up there picking a fight

reef wedge Nov 21, 2020, 6:47 PM

ok following for some reason it preffered dp and since i had used dvi before it was set to dvi
rtx3070 doesnt have any dvi output so I switched
additionally for some reason this screen was selected as main and my actually main was only showing black screen

#

and yeah the screen didnt change the input automaticly

merry bay Nov 21, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

yeah nvidia has a deeply rooted priority you can't change for cable types
VGA, DVI, HDMI, then DP

#

basically from oldest to newest

#

whichever it finds first, it will default in that order

#

but once booted into windows you should be able to set your main monitor whatever. It's just that BIOS will still follow the old order

You guys think that The gen 4 threadripper series will use same socket as 3rd or 1st and 2nd?

strong whale Nov 22, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

considering Zen 3 is AM4 still I imagine the same compatibility will carry over to Zen 3 Threadrippers too, likely 3rd gen socket, but who knows

vapid crypt Nov 22, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

I don't see why they wouldn't continue using the same socket and chipset for the next gen threadrippers

#

They kept X399 and that socket for the first two so I figure they would continue that pace

#

A new socket would be because of DDR5, that's pretty much 100% regardless of platform though

#

DDR5? Well I would expect it to be quite a bit more expensive initially

#

Covid only affected pricing because demand increased on most things phaWesker

#

Though shipments are delayed even still

#

The logistics are all over the place

We're starting to see insane pricing on the level of 2017s mining craze

it shouldn't need contact cleaner unless its super dusty

They're gonna have the most silicon

#

Allegedly there's 1000 Red Devils, which I guess isn't a lot on paper. But it's probably nearly 10x that of whatever Asus have phaWesker

#

Well the reason I think that is cause I saw picture with a number out of 1000 on the backplate of the card

#

Insinuating that the first 1000 are numbered

#

It might technically be more than that

I think it really is some kind of special edition

Just RMA the kit for the same one

Sometimes you get a lemon, and it is what it is

Though I guess if you wanted to go the way of getting your money back, then look for a 3600 CL16 kit

@reef wedge if you have 2 ram kits and one is faulty then you have to buy the same model of ram kit to guarantee its gonna work perfectly

#

The story is about how people buy 4k monitors 144hz and never reach stable 144FPS.

For example in COD Warzon even 2080S at medium/high don't give you 144 stable FPS

In open world games you cannot expect high setting's even with a Monster GPU ( unfortunately, with so much 3000 GPU series ( power ) they're still unable to give us even 120 at high ultra settings in most of the games )

So question is, why would you buy 144,. 4K if you're gonna play 60hz ? emoji_120

Why does 4K 144hz exist?

Why did it even exist a few years back?

#

How did people even consider anything more than 4K60Hz

idle musk Nov 24, 2020, 6:39 AM

It's just marketing to make people spend much more money for just 4K word.

Could just be underestimated, I don't really know how powerful it is on 4K

idle musk Nov 24, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

@fleet canopy try to find some benchmarks on YouTube about that 3090. It don't give you 144 on 4k, I'd say not even 120...

And we're not talking about competitive games

On these games you don't need to see every butterfly or stone...

amazing, 12 years old computing still dominates today's game world...

vapid crypt Nov 24, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

I mean Teraflops doesn't really mean anything for game performance

#

That's raw compute performance, and you can't compare it between architectures either

#

4850 was Terrascale, the graphics architecture used for both the Ps4 and Xbone is GCN I believe

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

it does not means anything

#

but it probably means 90%

#

or 80%

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

imo, if you are getting a new psu, always aim for your parts to consume no more than about 60% of its max capacity, as thats where most power supplies reach peak from the wall efficiency, plus it also gives you decent head room for future upgrades or overclocking further down the line

#

i mean, technically you could probably run a high end build with a 3080 off a 600 watt, but a single spike and your psu would trip over current protections and turn off

vapid crypt Nov 25, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Yeah I would be a bit concerned with something like that

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

ive played with the idea a little bit, heavily influenced by LTTs classic xbox HTPC

#

but it always circles back to it being uncomfortably close

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 2:53 AM

#

surprisingly enough you can find a decent psu for 100 usd nowadays

fleet canopy Nov 25, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

120-130$ gets you about 650W, 750W gold

#

Not bad at least

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

i paid 160 NZD for my corsair SF600, which is about a touch over 100 USD (about 1:1.50 USD:NZD)

for power supply, the larger the better

you may need increase the number of disk, memory or gpu in the future

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

and if you watch the prices you can do better than that. Best buy has a Corsair CX850 for 120

#

upgrading the Memory or RAM won't hit the GPU for much. It's when you upgrade the CPU and mostly the GPU that can require a PSU upgrade

Hi guys. I been really thinking about new parts for my pc. Can any of you suggest a good parts for my pc? I got NZXT MANTA ITX case.
My spec:
Cpu: Intel i5-4440 @ 3.10Ghz

If you can help me than please pm me. I don't want to spam this chat.

1000 fps in gtfo loading screen

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

probably a few points of correction blasta, ram is measured in bytes not hertz, ie 8gb not 8ghz, and gddr5 is a type of memory used in graphics cards, while ram is typically something like ddr#
not being nitpicky, it just makes it a tad harder to recommend parts when you arent sure what you actually have

#

not really. you can go to newegg and change the currency to help a bit

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

last time i tried helping someone for this chat, i had a half decent build that was on budget, but apparently pcpartpicker was showing a price difference

#

ended up being out 100 usd somewhere

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

I like using Neweggs paret picker

#

it helps with referenciong

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:00 AM

#

cant say im 100% familiar with it, but afaik that only shows newegg listings though, doesnt it?

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

it does. but i find I find most of my deals from Newegg. I mean there are other sites also to look at but Newegg is usually good for the deals

#

sometimes even amazon

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:01 AM

#

usually, yeah, ive had a few decent deals from them over the years

#

but for the most part their shipping ends up stinging me

#

last time i ordered from them i had to pay about 400 bucks in shipping and import fees

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

yeah shipping can bite ya. I am atleast glad I am in the States for PC parts

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

sadly, being a kiwi sort of sucks for pc parts

#

on the one hand, the demand for new parts is next to nothing here

#

like, it took 6 hours for our rtx 3080 preorders to sell out

#

compared to seconds internationally

#

but on the flip side, we get screwed on pricing and availability

#

we usually end up paying about 30-35% over MSRP for most products

#

and our range is usually fairly limited in the first place

#

like no reference nvidia cards here

#

well, founders edition rather

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

I am gonna do another build but i am gonna wait until the newness wears off and most of the issues are worked out

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:06 AM

#

id say most of the issues have already been worked out

#

at least, in terms of hardware

#

from here on out, its probably almost entirely software

#

so at least you can download those

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

I may end up going with the 3080ti if it ever gets released and is available

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

im still not 100% sold on 10gb vram

#

like, i get that it has far more bandwidth than a 1080ti, but it feels weird to get less vram than a card thats like 6 years older

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

10 is fine if i stayed with 1080 and most 1440, but eventually more will be needed

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

well, im playing on an ultrawide 1440

#

and ive used 10 before

#

never used the full 11, but id wager its only a matter of time

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

I currently have two 1080p 144hz 27 in monitors

#

I am looking to get the Samsung G9

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

2800 dollars here though

#

while i technically have the money lying around, i cant justify spending that much at the moment

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

it's 1200 here and i feel the same way

#

Although https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=40865 this one has decent reviews. Still hard for me to swallow right now

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

never heard of monoprice

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

My next build i plan on going OVERKILL so I may just go with the G9

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

which isnt surprising, considering we barely get anything outside of the major manufacturers

#

but that looks like its probably the same panel as the precursor to the G9

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

It's a smaller company, but the reviews are fairly decent

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

https://www.samsung.com/nz/monitors/gaming/qled-gaming-monitor-with-32-9-super-ultra-wide-screen-49-inch-lc49hg90dmexxy/

#

basically the exact same specs as that monitor

#

so id wager its probably using the same panel

#

my last rig was overkill when i built it, but now its starting to feel a little bit dated

#

like, it still performs fine

#

above 60 fps ultra settings on pretty much whatever i play at 3440x1440

#

but no raytracing, and with the monitor being a 100hz refresh, i wouldnt mind having a little bit of extra horsepower for cyberpunk

jade surge Nov 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

if Cyberpunk ever gets released

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:18 AM

im assuming our retailers are just being shitty

i dont mind the card being over 1k, it is what it is there

#

our import fees are irritating

coz we have to pay 15% on everything we buy or import, plus general import fees which can go up to about 150 bucks

but we also pay tax to the country we buy stuff from

so we get double taxed

everything's price is rising like rocket with great shortage

its more of a seven deadly sins lust, rather than a raunchy lust

they also have greed, sloth, envy etc

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 5:56 AM

wtf, how can only 2X

2x for opened used ones

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 5:57 AM

I wonder if ppl are out there selling "4k" TV's that are just 900p

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

4K TV is very cheap now

lucid ember Nov 25, 2020, 5:58 AM

Outside of Best Buy maybe

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 5:58 AM

The cheapest 4k may cost lower than 100 dollars

Ain't that just a cooked sandwich?

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 6:01 AM

Subway is alright

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:02 AM

lucid ember Nov 25, 2020, 6:02 AM

I wouldn't know. Never personally had more than their cheese bread

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:02 AM

like, they do some alright stuff

but they havent got anything on a decent burger place

lucid ember Nov 25, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

hot take but I don't actually like burgers

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

sandwich is just wrapped salad

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

i mean, its essentially just two pieces of bread with filling in the middle

lucid ember Nov 25, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

Isn't a salad just assorted grass?

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

try fruit&nut salad

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

i can understand just finding them meh, but theres not really anything wrong with them either

fleet canopy Nov 25, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

I just order meatball and cheese from subway

#

Not really a vegetable fan lmao

lucid ember Nov 25, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

nut salad huh. So trail mix is dried salad

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

avocado, pineapple, cashe, chicken BBQ, lettuce, bread cubes, humms, ranch + maynoises + ketchup

#

tomato + scramble eggs

#

can include lots of variety

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

not really a pineapple person, but the rest sounds decent

thorn lava Nov 25, 2020, 6:09 AM

chipotel

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:11 AM

i think probably the best thing ive eaten, was a korean dish served in a hot stone bowl

cant remember what was in it, aside from rice, egg, and spring vegetables

donburi is not that popular actually...

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 6:15 AM

its not especially popular here, but i quite like it all the same

Eh, not too bad

Unless it's something that should be more cheaper

It isn't bad for an IPS as well, most 1440p 144hz IPS are about 400$

Unless us to euro conversion is fucked

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:44 PM

Amazon was selling 970 evo plus 2tb drives at 50% off, if you need bulk ssd storage

#

Fair enough, my 970 pro has like 100gb left on it

#

So it was a great deal for me

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 9:54 PM

how much space do you need jesus

I can't even fill up 1tb

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:55 PM

In my experience even 4tb isn't enough

Currently using a touch over 6tb

bluray rips and games?

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:56 PM

And there wasnt anything i could do about it

So i just keep everything installed

I don't think I even hit 500g in games

more like 200-300

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:57 PM

Little bit over 1.2 tb installed and that's hardly enough for all the games

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:57 PM

My steamapps folder alone is like 4tb

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

then again I don't play any AAA titles because im allergic to reheated shit

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

On PS4 I would need around 10tb+ for all the games. Scary thinking about how big some games file size is

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

new cod is what, 150gb?

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

For now

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

I mean is that the release game file size

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

Gunna be much bigger before they are done

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Because they have such stupid sizes they gotta be doing it intentionally

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

and what for

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Nothing shows what for. I just got theories

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

reminds me of NieR Automata launch, 60gb game files out of which 30gb was uncompressed cutscenes

#

hahahahahhahahah

restive garnet Nov 25, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Afaik, its because they dont compress any of their files so they can get a slight performance gain

#

Its just ridiculous for last gen consoles with 500-1000gb hard drives

so no surprises there

Its mostly just a media center for entertaining guests

gritty timber Nov 25, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

dozen skins per gun, assuming 4k uncompressed, 600mb right there

hexed fractal Nov 25, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

I mean yeah they are but that's to be expected. People stick to the same games often on a casual level so they don't really know how bs all this stuff is.
