🎪bruh-fart

[vale sand]

good thing i have never even played the original stalker games

[idle veldt]

[vale sand]

i couldn't care less for people's opinion on the games lmao

but it's funny to see them fight over it

[frail kettle]

get rid of the stank ass british voicelines in stalker 2 and bring back the english VAs from the trilogy

[prisma venture]

Breakfest

🥰🥰

[vale sand]

ah well, that's not true, i played clear sky because it was a free disk in a computer magazine

[lapis zinc]

True the goofy voice acting in the trilogy was peak

[simple ore]

idk why they made half the english va in s2 british
skiff sounds good

[simple ore]

[frail kettle]

holy based

[spring quail]

ye got a loicense fer that ther artyfact

[frail kettle]

i hate the way prof. hermann sounds especially. something about his voice just pisses me off

[simple ore]

Cop was so goat for that

[fallow trellis]

didnt you have this like yesterday

[vale sand]

because the zone is secretly just a portal to the uk and the entire time in stalker 2, you're walking amongst the most beautiful scenery the country has to offer

[simple ore]

tbh i played in ukr VA so idk how most of them sound

i only know skiff

[prisma venture]

So what

[prisma venture]

Can't man have a hobby

[frail kettle]

ye same I just switched to the ukrainian voiceover after I couldn't stand hearing the br*tish anymore

[fallow trellis]

no variety

[simple ore]

ukr skiff clears eng skiff

[idle veldt]

Needs cigars

[vale sand]

the most immersive part of my experience was when i was attacked by 15 bloodsuckers in the swamp

[stoic girder]

[vale sand]

and when i touched even a 1cm puddle of water, the instant death

that was peak immersion

[spring quail]

gamma has quick release shit for that specific situation

but that specific situation isnt in gamma

[prisma venture]

No?

[frail kettle]

or the instant +1 gorillion mSv of radiation if you dare take a different path than the developers intended in some areas

[frail kettle]

one of the things that annoyed me the most in S2 lowkey

that and performance

otherwise a solid game imo

[vale sand]

skill issue, my tick rate in the game was so fucking low due to lack of any optimization, i just died before realising i died

[frail kettle]

[spring quail]

fighting faust on v1.11 on xbox x was hell

[vale sand]

The game wasn't bad if I completely forget what the trailer looked like

The gameplay was alright, the performance when a npc was around tho

[frail kettle]

dude idk what the fuck happens when you approach NPCs

like what could possibly be taking up so much processing power

they're standing still half the time

[vale sand]

probably the bitcoin miner kicks in and duplicates

[spring quail]

micro-dyatlov inside each npc gives the order to hit az-5

[frail kettle]

faust was a pretty cool bossfight

[pseudo robin]

stalker 2 was dogshit

[simple ore]

holy shit
fighting faust with 20 fps was one of the experiences of all time

[pseudo robin]

i felt actually scammed

[simple ore]

faust is pretty cool tho

[vale sand]

I also liked the second update they pushed, had to redownload the entire fucking game in a single update

[spring quail]

i agree, its just the fight on xbox was like..... ive gone through faster slideshows

[frail kettle]

dude my strategy with faust was to rush him to the point I could smell his breath and unload the saiga into the little psy thingy lmfao

[vale sand]

It just became tiresome to play the game and the game itself wasn't even the main reason

[simple ore]

nah it was the same on pc

[pseudo robin]

actual powerpoint gameplay

[simple ore]

it's not about the fight
it's about the frame drops

[spring quail]

did mouse/kb have 2 second input lag

because my controller did

[frail kettle]

why? performance or

[simple ore]

depends

[pseudo robin]

because it's dogshit

[frail kettle]

yeah it's gotten better since the early builds of the game but it's still pretty trash performance wise

[vale sand]

I didn't get far after SIRCAA, I just gave up because I didn't feel like fighting the performance issues any longer

[simple ore]

ik but early on it was hell

[pseudo robin]

i played it on release and it really felt like they didn't playtest the game at all after SIRCAA

[frail kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[simple ore]

yea that was the breaking point

[spring quail]

my favorite part of stalker 2 on xbox was when i was in sircaa and the cutscenes/dialogue refused to load in between the strelok monolith scenes and the room fight so i was twiddling my thumbs for 45 minutes until the game decided to catch up

[pseudo robin]

also running from rostok to duga and back and not seeing a single npc was aids

[simple ore]

they spent like 50 patches just for the after sircaa shit

[pseudo robin]

map felt dead there was nothing to do aside from some ass main story that despite the glazing i thought was mid at best

[fallow trellis]

variety

[simple ore]

i liked it tbh

[vale sand]

I paid 60€ and received an unoptimized mess, just didn't feel like bothering anymore

I might come back to it at some point

[frail kettle]

ok no I have one more big complaint with stalker 2. what the fuck were they thinking with stamina?

[simple ore]

idk about the endings i didn't get there yet
but i got like 70% of the way

[vale sand]

Understandable

[frail kettle]

huge open world but less stamina than the trilogy is wild

[pseudo robin]

do dogs and shit still just run away when you jump on a tire or some shit

lmfao that was hilarious

[spring quail]

yes

[simple ore]

i thought that was actually cool ngl

[frail kettle]

i honestly think the mutant behaviour when you got on top of shit was better

[prisma venture]

Yesterday i had smol cigar now i have Marlboro ciggies

[spring quail]

"SHIT HE'S ACHIEVED A 2 FOOT ADVANTAGE IN ELEVATION, RETREAT. WE'RE DOOMED."

[simple ore]

the only mutant that was shit for me at launch was the psydog
but that one was nerfed

[frail kettle]

I also experienced the whole "enemies spawn in front of you" like.. 3 or 4 times in my entire run?

that's a main point of complaint

[vale sand]

I mean, the bloodsuckers weren't as bad but the issue was that you never fought a single one of them

[frail kettle]

but honestly it wasn't that bad in my experience

[pseudo robin]

that was dogshit too

[vale sand]

You either fought none or you fought 3

[pseudo robin]

whatever the base is that you go to near the start and there's a literal endless wave of npcs

[simple ore]

i think the worst mutant in s2 were the boars
they just made them regular ass boars with nothing unique

[pseudo robin]

ass

[vale sand]

They spawned them like it was normal npc's

[frail kettle]

maybe I was just too to notice enemies being spawned around me or something

[simple ore]

at least in the ogs boars looked cool

[frail kettle]

dude the boars/fleshes in the trilogy were perfect in terms of ai behaviour. they literally just needed a remodel and they would've been fine. like why are fleshes leaping at me like chimeras?

[spring quail]

i started stalker 2 on a 15 year old LCD tv, bloodsuckers were completely invisible until they decloaked lmao

[vale sand]

Bloodsuckers were a real issue and in the swamp, where I was basically roaming around in darkness, I thought they were the most annoying shit to deal with

[frail kettle]

oh yeah, especially the whole shit with knocking you down

[simple ore]

snorks are still the most cancer

[pseudo robin]

the chimera fight you're meant to run away from in swamps is also dogshit

[frail kettle]

mass rat assaults were cool though lmfao

[simple ore]

but god damn they look sick tho

especially that one scene with ||nimble ||

[vale sand]

I read somewhere that bloodsuckers were supposed to be scary when you come across one, that's probably the reason why they pissed me off that much

[pseudo robin]

so many things in stalker 2 are absolute ass with very little good within it, it could of been so much better

[vale sand]

But the game was still pretty cool

It was nice to just walk around

[pseudo robin]

also 1tb modding tool or whatever lmfao

rip

[frail kettle]

mutant balance in general is just kinda horseshit for higher tier mutants

especially the chimera

[simple ore]

i think the sdk was 700gb

[vale sand]

1tb

you need the base game as well

and then you're nearly at 1tb

[pseudo robin]

[simple ore]

or around 820-850

[pseudo robin]

diabolical

[vale sand]

you can't forget that the sdk also uses swap storage, it can't just save everything in your ram

[simple ore]

my guess is the uncompressed textures ?

[vale sand]

you need buffer on your disk

otherwise that shit will, by the literal definition, not be usable

And I love to point this out, these are the specs that Epic Games recommends for the Unreal Engine Development SDK

[frail kettle]

can chimeras still not fit through doors btw?

[simple ore]

gonna wait until a dlc drop and mod the shit out of it

[simple ore]

[frail kettle]

only bad thing about UE is that epic games owns it

[vale sand]

Broski, that is a 7k workstation threadripper

The cpu is 7k

[simple ore]

64 threads ?

that's nothing

[vale sand]

nvm, I thought about the wrong model

it's not 7k, the newest one is 7k

This one is 1.4 ~ 1.7K

[simple ore]

very affordable

[frail kettle]

bring back SLI for gaming

(i will not be using it)

[simple ore]

no one will use it

[frail kettle]

true

[simple ore]

fellas can barely afford 1 gpu

[frail kettle]

the 3 people who used SLI before it got discontinued

[simple ore]

and retards will just think
hmmm the game will rine fine with 2 6090s in an SLI setup
game is fine just upgrade

[spring quail]

my brother had two 970's

[frail kettle]

i've seen this sentiment becoming annoyingly common

[simple ore]

always was the case

[frail kettle]

especially with the whole hoopla around borderlands 4

these retards are rearing their ugly heads

[frail kettle]

bro was a baller

[vale sand]

No wait, I now know why the price changed, I remember it was 7k, what I sent were the linux development requirements

[simple ore]

i mean tbf there are people still want to run a game maxed out on a 1050

[pseudo robin]

A threadripper

[vale sand]

This is on the windows page

That CPU is 7k

[frail kettle]

true, it's like a retard horseshoe

[spring quail]

no rent, domino's delivery driver with a hybrid car

[vale sand]

https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/hardware-and-software-specifications-for-unreal-engine

Anyways, that being said, I doubt a lot of people will use the Stalker 2 SDK

[simple ore]

ik nothin about modding
but don't smaller mods usually don't need the sdk

[spring quail]

there will be crackheads that do and proceed to grandstand over others for doing so like always

[vale sand]

Nah, smaller mods don't need it

Even medium sized ones don't

You only need it if you really want to change something about the game in a bigger style

[drifting mantle]

You don't, doing it that way ensures you get nothing done the way you wanted to

[simple ore]

to be devil's advocate
the only time you'll need the sdk is making a big ass mod
so it kinda makes sense

[vale sand]

Well, there will always be retards in any scene

[vale sand]

Yes, that is true

But that mod will likely be free

[frail kettle]

obligatory gamma 2 meme mention

[simple ore]

that is true

[vale sand]

And having to fight with a 1tb sdk for something that is free? I doubt a lot of people will go through that trouble

[simple ore]

and asking for donos for a mod that isn't out is understandbly frowned upon

[frail kettle]

yall seen RAM prices recently? lmfao

[vale sand]

I mean, to be entirely fair, you don't need those specs, it's just what they use at Epic Games

[simple ore]

ddr5 is as psyop

[vale sand]

But you'll have a rough time using normal consumer hardware

[simple ore]

i have my trusty 32gb of ddr4
never needed ram

[pseudo robin]

ddr5 beams 5g into my brain

[fallow trellis]

i dont know what ur talking about i just saw wet and sloppy spiderman

[simple ore]

im talking about the size of the sdk mostly

[vale sand]

The biggest issue you will face is compile time

[frail kettle]

yeah tbh i'm glad I got an extra 16gb kit, even ddr4 has shot up in price now since they cut production

[vale sand]

Unreal Engine uses C++ and you'll probably compile quite a huge chunk of the game yourself

That could take minutes or hours, sometimes even days if your cpu is shit

[pseudo robin]

I fell asleep watching youtube last night and woke up midway through some atlantis documentary it was the most schizo thing ive seen in ages

[simple ore]

no white hair atlantis baddie tho 😔

[frail kettle]

somebody should be mega based and bake lighting into the entire game. i genuinely wonder how long that would take considering gsc just skipped the step altogether in favor of lumen (or if its even possible using the sdk)

[pseudo robin]

https://tenor.com/view/kida-gif-27640009

[fallow trellis]

would raw, next question

[simple ore]

lumen is so retarded
it was meant for smaller studios to skip lighting iirc
but it's abused by big corpos and fucks shit

[pseudo robin]

https://tenor.com/view/toxiqueney-mannequinney-quingifs-stan-twitter-seductive-gif-2498452795083985222

[pseudo robin]

they can lumen deez nuts

[simple ore]

white nationalist dream wife

[frail kettle]

as much as it hurts to say since i fucking hate lumen, gsc was pretty justified in using it imo

[simple ore]

eh

[frail kettle]

never ask a white nationalist what race their wife is

[spring quail]

https://tenor.com/view/shadow-the-hedgehog-shadow-sonic-the-hedgehog-latina-funny-gif-12823157149897775890

[vale sand]

They were supported by Microsoft, they really could've gone a different route if they wanted to

[fallow trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hump-cat-cat-humping-hump-humping-gif-26968026

[vale sand]

But Lumen is the smallest issue that the game faces because I doubt it has anything to do with the fact that npc's halve your framerate

[simple ore]

i would say no
since they were sponsored by microsoft
and the game was on ue4 but scrapped and remade on ue5

[frail kettle]

I thought microsoft just pulled the plug for support at some point in development though unless I'm wrong

[simple ore]

no

[vale sand]

Very possible and when looking at what we got, I would understand why they did

I don't know though

I just know they were supported by them

[pseudo robin]

Ue5 and its consequences have been a disaster

[simple ore]

the game sold well according to xbox so idk

[spring quail]

despite its flaws i enjoyed my time with stalker 2

[simple ore]

same

[frail kettle]

atleast they've been (somewhat) proactive in fixing a lot of shit in the game. only thing in the way of performance was smoothing out frametimes though

[drifting mantle]

What do you mean?

[frail kettle]

yeah same here

[pseudo robin]

Its dogshit

[vale sand]

I think everyone did, to some extent at least but it was just a shit fest with the performance

[drifting mantle]

Oh, UE5 I thought EU5

[vale sand]

It felt like they didn't test anything because a lot of optional parts of quests were just straight up bugged

[pseudo robin]

Eu5 looks cool

[vale sand]

Uncompleteable

[pseudo robin]

I should suss it out

[spring quail]

i found great autistic joy in throwing a bolt into a gravity anomaly and hearing the shawhoop sound

[vale sand]

lmao

[spring quail]

like after a long day of work, id boot up sdalger 2, throw bolt into gravity anomaly

[drifting mantle]

Yeah, I wait until it receives some Patches and gets on sale

[spring quail]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[frail kettle]

i remember having to search up a video to get into the skadovsk since the doors were just shut closed for no reason

some weird ass parkour

wait no it was the shevchenko that was bugged

[vale sand]

I remember when I had to go into a bunker and the door did not open for an optional part of a quest

I thought I had to go through the trap door in the roof

Maybe a button somewhere

But no, it was bugged and didn't open

[frail kettle]

dude I wonder wtf they were testing on with the pre-release trailers

that HAD to run like shit

considering it looks even better than what we got on release

[simple ore]

yea that one kept bugging out over multiple patches for some reason lmao

every patch it was included

[vale sand]

It worked for me after the second update they pushed

But it was confusing at first

[simple ore]

yea

[spring quail]

reactor 4

[simple ore]

we know that every stalker game is personalized

[frail kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/i-want-the-zone-to-disappear-strelok-wishing-strelok-facepalm-strelok-cnpp-gif-5127137257313069451

oh yeah that reminds me

[vale sand]

Would be pretty funny and quite a big schizo fest

[spring quail]

did anyone else have to wait 30 minutes for the sircaa combat sequence to wake up

[frail kettle]

redoing the wish granter endings in stalker 2 was fucking awesome

i really enjoyed that part of the game

[simple ore]

yea that one was cool as hell

i really enjoyed going into the sircaa labs and underground

reminded me of half life 1

[spring quail]

i did what i always do and got to the penultimate mission and didnt finish the game

[frail kettle]

agreed

[spring quail]

its leaving game ass so im gonna buy it on shteam next year

[vale sand]

Damn, now I want to play it and actually finish it, did they fix any of the aforementioned issues?

[frail kettle]

also the comically long elevator sequence that was (probably) done to mask loading times

[pseudo robin]

Same

[vale sand]

And has performance gotten better, at least to some extent?

[frail kettle]

performance wise, not really, except that frametimes are a (bit) smoother now, which is noticeable

[simple ore]

performance is better last time i played that was months ago

but not by much

now idk

[vale sand]

Hm

Might give it a try in a couple of days, worst case it's as bad as back then

[river zealot]

i want to try this dispatch game

[frail kettle]

also theres been some small mods that claim to improve performance, but idk what they do to shit like ai spawning mechanics, behaviour, etc.

[river zealot]

the brown tomboy sold it for me

[spring quail]

im using my birthday to get my family to contribute to me buying a 5070 ti so ill probably buy it again soon

https://tenor.com/view/spirit-bomb-reverse-gif-752380995271403853

mfw birthday money

[vale sand]

Idk, I have never been a big friend of installing mods because sometimes they just don't do anything and then I am too lazy to remove them

Or they do something annoying but it fucked my save file already

[frail kettle]

yeah i recommend revisiting the game as is rn

[simple ore]

according to a youtube vid my 6700xt can get 60 on 1080p

[river zealot]

[frail kettle]

just don't do the optional electric collar mission for shcherba, like holy that mission was ass

[vale sand]

So it should be able to stay at 144 with my gpu then

At least that is my hope

[simple ore]

"should"

[frail kettle]

are you running 40 series atm?

[vale sand]

I know I am reaching but you can always hope

[vale sand]

yeah

[simple ore]

that was with tsr and native and no frame gen
honestly might play again after seeing this

[frail kettle]

idk if they've added DLSS 4 to the game yet, but if that's in game, i would recommend just turning it on. it looks really good from what i've been able to see from videos

also depends on the res you run at

[river zealot]

@narrow lotus @naive bison @thick wadi

[vale sand]

1440p

[thick wadi]

[frail kettle]

yeah just turn on DLSS at quality, enable MFG (or the FSR frame gen that's in the game) and you should be good, since it feels like the game was just built to be played with frame gen sadly

[vale sand]

[narrow lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/fridge-meme-good-ending-black-man-opening-gif-17099877077400562986

[vale sand]

less hyped about it now but could be worse

[frail kettle]

also you may not need to enable dlss or frame gen at all depending on which 40 series card you have

[vale sand]

I still have the 4090

[narrow lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-pepe-the-frog-disappointed-disappointed-pepe-tired-gif-1482602579291311529

average AAA game nowadays

[vale sand]

Let's hope I can play without frame gen

[frail kettle]

my card can run 1440p native AA with no framegen at like 80fps outside of settlements, it's about equivalent to a 5070ti, which is considerably weaker than the 4090. you can easily play high refresh 1440p with no framegen

[vale sand]

But if I can't, at least I will get steady fps with it, before it literally didn't matter, nothing could save that game

[narrow lotus]

Just buy this overpriced last gen GPU to play this overpriced AAA game turning on 3 settings in order to get fake framerate oookey

[frail kettle]

yeah, unfortunately

[river zealot]

i love this fat dog

[vale sand]

I skipped the 50 series entirely and I will continue to skip it till the 60 series

[frail kettle]

if you don't want to enable this shit, you simply have to front the cost of buying a better gpu to compensate for the fact they didnt want to spend money on optimizing the game, it's totally fucked

[vale sand]

That's the thing, the 5090 has a ~13% raw performance increase over the 4090

[simple ore]

what card is it

[vale sand]

That's why I skipped it

[frail kettle]

and it isn't going to get better, since the sad reality is that most people are ok with playing with frame gen on with a base framerate of like 40fps

[frail kettle]

9070xt

[simple ore]

nvm

[vale sand]

Those 13% come at a marginally higher power consumption while also being heavier

And it would require me to pay 3K€ for those 13%

[simple ore]

reading 13% in this channel triggered something

[frail kettle]

neuron activation

[vale sand]

[frail kettle]

the 5090 is not compelling at all as an upgrade from the 4090

but there are plenty of people who bought the 4090 who are willing to spend that money

and nvidia makes bank on selling the silicon to the highest bidder (datacenters) anyway so they don't give a shit

[drifting mantle]

This is so retarded, we reached a point where said games don't even look nearly as good as RDR2 which runs perfectly fine on older GPUs.
There is no excuse for games that look worse, to run this badly with high end GPUs.

Played the latest Iteration of ARK (the dino game) and it ran like dog shit...
I have a RTX3070Ti

I refunded that shit immedeatly

[frail kettle]

i would say i'm surprised that they haven't just given up on geforce in general, but it's free money for them anyway so

[vale sand]

I would’ve spent that money as well if the gain wouldn’t have been that laughable

[deep topaz]

BRO DO NOT TURN AROUND

[frail kettle]

survival ascended is an especially egregious example. i'm pretty sure it was found that they had frame gen on by default without the user's input at all, it would just constantly run in the background without you being able to change it

[vale sand]

Because it’s an entryway for other niches, not just gaming

[frail kettle]

that is true

[simple ore]

gpus went to shit when they removed sexy women on the box

[drifting mantle]

If you can't make your game run smoothly in this day and age, just give up on being a dev...

[frail kettle]

yeah the powerdraw especially is insane. 800W+ transients I believe

[narrow lotus]

i played RDR 2 on a GTX 960 2GB

lowest settings, no shadows and 800x600 resolution

but i had 35-40fps lmao

went to a 1070 and it ran like a dream

KCD 2 perfect example of a game that learned from its first game , i could run that game on ULTRA instantly

[stark gull]

https://tenor.com/view/segra-gym-hot-girl-duploads-cute-gif-14614121

[narrow lotus]

no fake frames no nothing

that game ran like a dream

[narrow lotus]

[vale sand]

It’s just the general upgrade

[narrow lotus]

i am talking here

[vale sand]

I am currently running a 1000w psu

[river zealot]

holy fuck can we stop with the gooning

[vale sand]

For the 5090 to work, I’d need to upgrade again

[frail kettle]

i would've thought the 4090 would struggle on a 1000w psu, guess I was wrong lol

[simple ore]

i remember seeing a gtx 750ti with this box on fb marketplace once

[drifting mantle]

Not to mention all the other complicated Shit, running in the Background. What excuses have other studios for bad Performance?

I have one: incompetence

[stark gull]

No, I've been awake for 48 seconds and haven't coomed yet

I think it’s 1000 but it could also be 1200, it’s the ASUS ROG Thor

[drifting mantle]

SAME, also goated game

Game of the year 100%

[frail kettle]

also a good psu. higher end psus can handle transients better

[simple ore]

i updated rivia tuner and fucked this shit

[narrow lotus]

Budget cuts etc

RDR 2 runs on a Tennis Game engine from 2006 or whatever

[frail kettle]

what game is this

[simple ore]

duckov

stats don't matter

the ui is fucked now

[narrow lotus]

same with GTA 5 which i played on a fucking Radeon HD 5450 1GB

[stark gull]

Small team who knows what they're doing vs 3k people trying to make a game by guess

[vale sand]

I like it, it’s been by my side for like 4 years by now, didn’t have any issues till now

[narrow lotus]

THAT RADEON HD 5450 DIDNT EVEN HAVE A COOLER , IT HAD PASSIVE HEATSINK

ALOOOOOOOOO

[simple ore]

tbf both gta 5 and rdr2 launched like shit
but were quickly fixed

[narrow lotus]

what a piece of shit

[frail kettle]

till now? wym

[narrow lotus]

i think i threw it to the garbage at some point years back

[vale sand]

Was just a way of saying it, I still have it installed

It’s still going strong

[simple ore]

i remember wanting a 750ti so fucking bad

[frail kettle]

ah I see

[vale sand]

Just worried about what the 6090 will look like

[frail kettle]

same

[vale sand]

Might as well buy another PSU just for the GPU alone

[drifting mantle]

If you don't have the Budget, don't make it. Don't eat more than you can shew.

This is just bad Management and as a dev, you should be able to call that out. But when you work for companies like Ubisoft, toxic positivity ruins the whole thing...

House made problems, made by retards

[deep topaz]

Eventually, that's what's going to happen

[narrow lotus]

Yeah i am worried they will not adress the issues at all and will have another power hungry GPU that can barely fit in your average case while burning the connector AGAIN for the 3rd generation

[frail kettle]

reducing TDP? no, further R&D budget can not be alloted for that, we have AI gpus to make. pass the cost onto the consumer and blame them for not upgrading their psu instead

i'm like 60% sure this will be the case

[narrow lotus]

Yeah most likely , sadly nowadays consumers are the beta testers

[deep topaz]

You will be flat by morning but you have saved me tonight

[river zealot]

beta testing for 5 years now

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1191518737480818740/1284579725364166839/IVxyndD.gif

[narrow lotus]

[vale sand]

Very likely that’ll happen

[thick wadi]

hey

thats like

something else we all know

hm

wonder what

[vale sand]

[frail kettle]

also pessimistic about the the gain in performance next gen, but maybe we'll be surprised

just seems like IPC improvements for GPUs has been slowing drastically

[narrow lotus]

yeah i guess we hit a bit of a cap on technology

[spring quail]

nvidia engineer :

[vale sand]

Well, then why does software fucking need more than we can physically produce, it’s absolutely retarded to watch

[frail kettle]

i'm probably talking out of my ass, but from what I hear we are approaching the physical limit for how small transistors can get

[narrow lotus]

it seems the gains are smaller and smaller , innovation is slow now , and Nvidia really wants to shit GPUs every 2 years now

and it works

They will release a new gen of the same GPU , add 30% price to it for 10% performance gain at best , call it limited edition gaming whatever and poof

this is what happened to the 3070

3070 was supposed to be 3060

[frail kettle]

yall remember the original 4080 debacle?

how they tried to pass it off as a 12gb card

[narrow lotus]

then they did it again with the 4060ti 16gb

[frail kettle]

then they renamed it to the 4070ti because they got so much backlash

lmfao

[narrow lotus]

they gave a medium 144p GPU 16gb even tho it had an 8gb version that was enough , but gave the 4070 12gb and the 3070 8gb only

ITS OK GUYS , THE 3070 TI WAS ANNOUNCED AAAAAAAAAAAND it has 8gb VRAM only as well

that gpu aged like milk in the summer sun , holyy

[frail kettle]

just wait for the super refresh bro

[spring quail]

im about to go from a 2080 super to a 5070 ti i cant complain too much

[frail kettle]

yeah the 3070 was nvidias greatest rugpull in recent memory

[spring quail]

i used to pray for times like these

[river zealot]

Feels like my spine has been sunburnt

[narrow lotus]

yeah i went for a 960 2gb to a 1070 to a 4070 now

but in like , 6 years between them

[vale sand]

I honestly don’t get why they’re that sparse with the vram, I get it, a 3080 shouldn’t have as much as a 3090 but like, bro 12gb is a joke for most titles, 8gb is literally unusable

[narrow lotus]

and the 1070 ti is still good cause of that 8gb vram in a pinch

[spring quail]

i can't even max out monster hunter world with my 2080s

[narrow lotus]

1070 has the same vram as 3070 and its like 4 years between them

[frail kettle]

reminds me, as much hate as the 2080ti gets, it's aging better than the 1080ti lmao

[narrow lotus]

[frail kettle]

mainly because of DLSS

but yeah I mean obviously newer card ages better than older card, but you get what I mean

[spring quail]

i miss physx

https://i.imgur.com/wFiv063.png

[narrow lotus]

but yeah gamers are not priority i think even Jensen said that now the most consumers that buy the GPUs are the AI developers and shit

not gamers

so they do not care

WAITER WAITER , AI IN EVERYTHING PLS

[vale sand]

I miss my Gainward 980Ti

That beast managed to render every game at a steady frame rate, no matter what I threw at it

[frail kettle]

investors pouring billions into AI just to watch ai videos of dogs hitting a dance move

[frail kettle]

apparently gainward still makes gpus lol

they look pretty good too

[vale sand]

Damn, I thought they went out of business, ngl

They were pretty big back then but I stopped hearing about them after the 980 lmao

[frail kettle]

EVGA

[narrow lotus]

yeah EVGA peaced out

[vale sand]

Understandable

[frail kettle]

GN managed to get their hands on an EVGA 4090 prototype interestingly enough

also managed to get a hold of an RTX Ada Titan prototype

absolute brick of a card

[frail kettle]

what the fuck 🥀

[stark gull]

Heh

A few more models and this shit will take half of my room

[frail kettle]

the single 12vhpwr connector is also giving me anxiety

[idle veldt]

Yeah but that’s kinda awesome

Someone repost that video of the cat in the tank

[vale sand]

I don’t even understand why that is preferred over the 3 connector setup they had

Like the 3 pcie connector setup

[frail kettle]

no clue

tried and tested design just ditched for.. who tf knows

[frail kettle]

your username implies the existence of a small robert

[idle veldt]

Haha yeah my penis

[idle veldt]

What the fuck is the point of the 5060

[frail kettle]

the 8gb one specifically

[idle veldt]

Yeah

Playing cyberpunk on 1080p

[frail kettle]

apparently they aren't selling very well which is good to hear

[river zealot]

I dont get it

[vale sand]

Cheap entry to the 50 series

Quite literally the only reason I can think of

[idle veldt]

For the suckers

[vale sand]

Maybe for pre-builds, that way they can say "50 SERIES NVIDIA RTX GPU"

[stark gull]

I think she hates clunkers

[frail kettle]

interestingly enough, i'm pretty sure the 5070 is outselling the 5060 in diy builds?

[river zealot]

Good

[idle veldt]

Diabolical

[frail kettle]

i could be totally wrong, but i remember hearing something about that

[vale sand]

The xx60 series was never really a good card, usually the xx70 series wasn't that much more expensive and had an actual gain over the xx60 series

I honestly think the xx60 cards exist for prebuilt computers

[frail kettle]

yeah

[vale sand]

To scam the suckers for believing that they have an actually good card in the computer

Because when they google "RTX 50 series", they will see the videos about the cards and the performance

Just to get a 5060

[frail kettle]

yeah most people don't put all that much research into it

[vale sand]

None, they just hear their kid crying that they want a gaming computer and they buy a gaming computer

[idle veldt]

A gaming laptop

[frail kettle]

my buddies who are not as into PCs commonly show me prebuilt deals and ask if they're good because they have "RTX" and shit like that lol. it ends up being an rtx 5060 buildfor like 1800

[idle veldt]

Because kids need portable

[vale sand]

I literally only own one because of work, I needed a strong cpu and the only way to get a strong cpu is by getting a gaming laptop

[frail kettle]

yeah honestly even though the hobby has generally grown, most people are much less knowledgeable about pc hardware than we'd think

[vale sand]

If you buy a gaming laptop to play games on it, you deserve to pay the 100% mark up

[idle veldt]

I don’t dislike gaming laptops, but why not just get a steam deck or ally

[pure badger]

Tbh I feel like back in the pre 1000 + series card times 60 series were good

[frail kettle]

that's why youll see

• "amd releases their most successful gpu generation in years"
• market share falls anyway

[pure badger]

I was very proud of my gtx 960, it lasted me so many years.

[vale sand]

Yeah but only because we still saw gigantic leaps in generations

Nowadays the margin of performance increase from generation to generation is so minuscule, the xx60 series is basically just for suckers

[pure badger]

Yep that's the thing. Idk if its tech stagnating or if nvidia is having too much of a monopoly rn, but gpus suck atm

[idle veldt]

It’s the monopoly

[frail kettle]

that's why I only upgrade every 3-4 generations or so. noticeable uplift

[pseudo robin]

Ive still got a 6800xt

Does the job

[frail kettle]

solid card

[vale sand]

I have had a look at what they are cooking up for AI

It may not only be monopoly but it definitely plays a gigantic part in it

Because the AI sector is fucking awesome to look at, what they create is unbelievable even

[frail kettle]

do you work in an ML/AI field or as a hobby?

[vale sand]

I use AI and even host a custom model for work but I am not specialised in it in any way, shape or form

[frail kettle]

ah cool

[pure badger]

Thing is I'm like really against all the AI stuff and the upscaling etc. I hate where processing power is being focused rn.

I geniunely feel like frame gen / upscaling just make for a worse experience.

It's one thing to have em as crutches if your pc sucks (they're actually horrible for bad pcs lmao).

It's another to have your game be optimized to run with upscaling and framegen and run like shit without em.

It's not like we get better graphics either. I'd argue we had better looking games before the upscaling boom.

Cause image quality is better

[vale sand]

I just love seeing that Nvidia is still the peak of innovation, just now it's not targeted towards consumers anymore

[frail kettle]

honestly AI upscaling is an objectively good technology imo, especially with how far it's come (besides the developer reliance on it). my main problem is with framegen

[vale sand]

It sucks but whatever pays best, will always have the most attention

I get their perspective and why they'd pivot into AI harder than consumer grade hardware

[pure badger]

Oh yeah they make like 80% or something was it from non gaming sources

[frail kettle]

i mean they're getting paid BANK for it too. aside from the US or China, they have a higher total valuation than (I believe) every other countries GDP individually

[pure badger]

So it makes sense absolutely

Now we need amd to take the gaming spot tho, we need a ryzen equivalent for the gpu's

[vale sand]

Makes sense, they received an order for like 450.000 H100 GPU's not too long ago

Those AI datacenters are wild

[frail kettle]

lowkey hoping they don't open one by me bro. I don't need my electricity/water bill going up

[idle veldt]

You should be against like 90% of what AI does or what we want it to do

[vale sand]

I mean, Microsoft is planning to reopen an out-of-service nuclear power plant just to meet the power demand of their AI data center

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

[frail kettle]

that would be a very cool knock-on effect. waiter, waiter, more nuclear power please

[idle veldt]

Wasted power tho

So it’s actually bad

[frail kettle]

my hope is that training these models becomes more efficient over time

[idle veldt]

I hope for, a meteor

[vale sand]

I mean, it will feed the AI Data Center and probably the local power grid as well with anything that isn't used, it also has it's upsides

[idle veldt]

I am not hopeful

[vale sand]

We are far far far away from that

Like I am not kidding

That is a long road until we get there

[frail kettle]

[vale sand]

I mean, we still can't be 100% sure if the model training will hit an eventual dead end before training

So we are wasting resources on literal trial and error

[frail kettle]

AGI is one zeptosecond away

[pure badger]

Have you seen the AI blackmail sim results tho.

[visual stirrup]

can't program the self interest and self preservation out of the clankers

[idle veldt]

Nothingburger

[frail kettle]

also concerned about the whole bubble around AI blowing up. it would be catastrophic. like i don't think AI is going anywhere, and it'll eventually get good enough to live up to expectations, but we might see another dot com bubble scenario

[vale sand]

For example, let's take object detection, if you train your model on too much of one thing, it will literally reach a state of blockage, it will only get worse from that point onwards

Only gets worse if you have duplicate datasets

That's why AI Training scripts usually create checkpoints of the model

That way you can go back to a state where it wasn't declining

[frail kettle]

is that what the insane processing power is necessary for? or is that just for the processing of inputs from sites like GPT, Gemini, etc.

[vale sand]

Ah well, that is just a mix of it all

Training, Token Input, Token Output

But training is probably a big factor of it, yeah

[little mirage]

All of this shit just to create a false messiah to kill us all

[vale sand]

But they are training LLM's, so it's a bit more complex than my example but the basics are the same

[idle veldt]

No it’s for money

And scamming

And misinformation

[little mirage]

Wishful thinking

[frail kettle]

genuinely impressed with the latest version of Gemini. its solved some pretty complex engineering problems I've thrown at it

[idle veldt]

Yeah

[vale sand]

I am pretty impressed with xAI, I have not seen an AI Agent before that was able to get that close to actually solving some of the stuff I have thrown at it

It's not perfect

But it definitely was better than any ChatGPT model I have tried

[quartz ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/ted-kaczynski-ted-ted-k-gif-20150378

[little mirage]

The consequence of this will be a permanent piss stain on our modern world

[quartz ridge]

AI will be the end of us lol

[idle veldt]

Yeah

[little mirage]

I wish what I said was fake, gey and retardex

[quartz ridge]

somehow its gonna end existence or majorly impact it

[little mirage]

Its just real

[idle veldt]

Yeah

[frail kettle]

copilot

[vale sand]

Possibly, it's currently getting implemented in every single workflow where it's not needed, so yeah, very possible that it could eventually make the bubble pop

[little mirage]

I use this headphones called soundcore. They provide an app so you can customize random shit

Some fuck all reason they added an ai chat bot to it

[idle veldt]

Yeah doesn’t it suck

[frail kettle]

half the time copilot just returns raw LaTeX inputs when I present it math equations lmfao

[idle veldt]

Doesn’t it make you sick

[vale sand]

If you mean Github Copilot, I am not very impressed with that one

It has access to Github but still fucking sucks

Somehow

[little mirage]

I wonder how many misc apps now have an updated ai bot just scanning your shit

[idle veldt]

Now imagine you wanted to read the news but it was AI generated videos

[frail kettle]

yeah the shoving of AI into everything is annoying

[idle veldt]

Of things that didn’t happen

[frail kettle]

it's honestly pretty ironic that AI has been ravaging the creative industries before the more technical ones, which is what everybody expected it would shake up

[vale sand]

It's great if you're a developer, you can release a product that doesn't need AI for the workflow and it's just 100 ~ 2000% faster

There's a lot of tools that just don't need the AI but still use it, so it'll slow the process down by retarded margins

For example web crawlers, that doesn't need AI but it still is used for it

[frail kettle]

you're in a programming/ adjacent field right?

[vale sand]

I develop software for a living, yeah

[frail kettle]

how inefficient is AI code generally? i'm not too experienced with programming in general outside of some basic C#/C++ for simulations

[vale sand]

It really depends on what it does

Some code is completely fine

[little mirage]

The recent one punchman animations and people using ai to make it better with people now supporting it

https://tenor.com/view/do-you-have-any-ibuprofen-i-have-a-headache-meme-ibuprofen-meme-anime-girl-meme-mood-gif-17693332636758375379

[vale sand]

But as a rule of thumb, you should never use AI code in any critical environment

[frail kettle]

makes sense

[vale sand]

Because of the major hallucination that occurs

It sometimes makes up functions that don't exist, sometimes it creates functions that literally can not work

Sometimes you get infinite loops because it checks for a state that never changes

[frail kettle]

[vale sand]

And sometimes you just get straight up garbage responses with stuff that wasn't even what you asked for

It's great for small python scripts that you run locally as long as it's not too complex

But anything bigger than that and you'll very quickly run into major problems

[frail kettle]

oh yeah I've used it to debug some relatively rudimentary shit and it just completely restructures everything sometimes lol

or completely changes the way certain loops function without me telling it to

but idk i'm pretty retarded as far as programming/CS in general goes so theres that

[vale sand]

There is a reason why projects like Devin AI or whatever it was called were scrapped and are now coding agents, meant to help you, not to completely do everything themselves

You can't use an AI to create a complex infrastructure, it literally is incapable of doing so

[frail kettle]

based on what you've seen, are entry level CS dudes cooked or? I imagine AI can cover most of what a company needs from an intern / entry level worker

[vale sand]

And that ignores the entire cyber security aspect of things

[vale sand]

Oh yeah definitely

If you have no knowledge, you're fucked beyond believe

[frail kettle]

this is partly why im glad i'm not studying CS

[vale sand]

The industry didn't need python script kiddies before but some companies were still dependant on them none the less

But now they are literally not needed anymore

[frail kettle]

it was cooked even before AI from what it sounded like lmfao

[vale sand]

Yeah because everyone could learn python within 2 weeks of time

And most of the heavy lifting is done with packages

But now you literally do not even need to learn the language for 2 weeks

You can just prompt an AI and get pretty on-par code with what an entry level developer would've created

[frail kettle]

scary shit. idk what they would do in that case

like how do you get the necessary experience to get hired in the first place at that point

[vale sand]

I mean, go to a McDonald's that is near a campus specialised on computer science, they'll be able to tell you

[frail kettle]

too late, they were all beaten to it by the art majors

[vale sand]

Github is a pretty big factor, people now need to create a portfolio

Before it was already a thing but now it's basically a must-have

You need to create things to show that you know your craft

Not chefir sorry

[dreamy flax]

📚 kefir

[South Africans] (white folks) use the word "Kefir" as the equivalent to the use of the word "Nigger" in the U.S. -- rather, the way it was used and the social reaction garnered up until the 1970s. It is used to imply that the person assigned the title is "low class" or "beneath" the speaker. In the movie Blood Diamond, Danny Archer (character portrayed by [Leonardo DiCaprio]) angrily referred to Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou's character) as a Kefir. Since the term was used is such a derogatory way, the viewer understands that Archer used the word kefir, as spoken in South Africa, that is the equivalent word to the word nigger in the [United States].
