  1. If these are actually highend cards this is AMAZING NEWS. I honestly think the biggest selling point to AMD graphics cards is the market for Freesync monitors. We have a hard limit right now for the performance you can get on a Freesync monitor (unless you can use this workaround) so pushing the performance available for a 4k Freesync monitor would be tremendous. And yeah never read too much into AMD TFLOP numbers.
  2. Well Tim Burton himself has said that he was pulling influence from The Dark Knight Returns, that's why I said that.
  3. Well, while there were campy moments in Tim Burton's Batman films, they were definitely more built on the gritty comics than the tongue-in-cheek 60s interpretations. I honestly think the root of all modern comic book movies really traces back to Batman '89, but Blade certainly made it more stylish by contemporary sensibilities.
  4. Maybe it's unpopular to say something in this thread without some sort of cheeky quip about things you hate about X Conservative, but I watched both Obama's and Bush's eulogies and I quite enjoyed them both. Both seem to make remarks that chastise the character or the immigration policy of Trump, which was amusing.
  5. That's entirely possible. Or at the very least a jumping off point for X-Men.
  6. Seems like an odd choice not to simply recast him as it was never established that New Line's Blade series was part of the MCU, and it wouldn't make sense to have an aged Blade character in the MCU.
  7. It explains everything perfectly. I had no trouble following it.
  8. It's not. It talks about plot issues, character motivations, pacing, etc. I didn't find any issues with anything he said.
  9. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13279/amd-to-fab-7nm-cpus-gpus-at-tsmc This is huge. GlobalFoundries is effectively out of the race now, which is a blow to AMD as they had used them for much of their manufacturing, and a blow to the chip manufacturing world where the competition is needed.
  10. Is this just the thread where RedSoxFan shits all over a man dying of brain cancer? @SFLUFAN does this sit well with you?
  11. Finn, moved by events of Episode VIII, convinces Poe that animal cruelty needs to end and they travel to a fur farming planet to begin their crusade. Meanwhile Rey is trained by a stack of books for a few minutes and Kylo Ren continues not wondering wtf happened to his Knights.
  12. Remember when that used to be the pre-rendered graphics in 2D games? Seems like ages ago now.
  13. "DLSS takes advantage of our tensor cores’ ability to use AI. In this case it’s used to develop a neural network that teaches itself how to render a game. It smooths the edges of rendered objects and increases performance." This sounds similar in premise to AMD's SenseMI technology, doing adaptive optimization and speculative execution, which is definitely something new and interesting in the world of GPUs. Granted, narrowed in focus to the task of anti-aliasing, but hopefully the concept opens up to more rendering tasks in the future. It could have implications for all types of rendering, raytracing or otherwise.
  14. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3299456/components-graphics/custom-geforce-rtx-2080-and-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-graphics-card-preorders.html https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wait-to-buy-nvidia-geforce-rtx-gpus,37673.html https://www.extremetech.com/computing/275859-dont-buy-the-ray-traced-hype-around-nvidias-rtx-2080-family Major publications all over are encouraging people to wait for reviews to see how these cards perform under current workloads (you know, despite the risks to "social decision making" or whatever). I'm glad there's a voice of reason spreading after the hype train. Moral of the story: don't believe smoke and mirrors until you see strong, convincing evidence.
