Because ten years ago he was an internet troll and made off-color jokes about pedophilia and rape.

Mueller can subpoena the interpreter if he finds it necessary. I'm not too concerned about the Republican's attempts at distraction.

Disney's handling of Star Wars has been inconsistent, but the MCU has been all-in-all pretty great. I'll let the whiners bitch and complain about how this is the end of good comic book movies while I sit back and enjoy the benefits.

I guess Dave Filoni felt like he had unfinished business.

I can't speak for the gay community, but I'm pretty sure they'd agree that Trump willingly takes it in the ass whenever he meets Putin.

Stupid. Google should seek retaliatory measures.

The most consequential President.

I do find it odd that Tabletop Games is a separate board but PC Gaming is a sub-board. Shouldn't they both be sub-boards?

How long does this go on till?

Holy shit.

What's amazing is they put work into making the AI function decently, one typo destroyed that work from being in the final game, and no one ever caught it.

That number was based on pure speculation  by one review site.  It is not a credible number.  Original quote that is getting re-reported was "I wouldn't be surprised to see that this FPGA alone makes up $500 of the final price point of these new displays, let alone the costly DDR4 memory."

I would say that's a very plausible estimate, especially given PC Perspective's reputation.

Then my G-Sync monitor must have been almost free.  All reports I have ever read claim a premium of $150-$200, and that has been pretty consistent with what I paid.

G-Sync HDR

If you're still having trouble reading that I'll make you an 8k JPEG out of it.

Most of them cost ~$200 more than a comparable Freesync monitor.

They are way more than $200 extra. The G-Sync HDR module itself accounts for $500 of the cost of an equipped monitor.

That's still years away...

Both Intel's discreet graphics cards and AMD's Navi 20 aren't expected until between 2020 and 2021, so it's really the same difference. But I don't think WHEN competition arrives is really relevant to the discussion anyway.

When do Computer Monitors go HDR?

There already are some. G-Sync HDR monitors are atrociously expensive, though.

That's interesting.

AMD has locked down the console market -- and TVs primarily use HDMI.  So that makes sense.

 

Unless AMD somehow magically turns around their high end gaming cards (and rumours are they diverted resources completely away from them), mid/high end cards will continue to be dominated by nVidia.  

That's why Intel's involvement is so important. Intel may actually turn out to be the last hope for a true competitor against NVIDIA, and I'm dearly hoping they can dish out some humble pie for all the anti-competitive bullshit they've been doing.

While Intel had voiced support for Freesync a few years ago, this latest affirmation is bigger news as it pertains to their discreet GPU business slated to launch in the next 2 to 3 years. This is likely to have a further impact in the market, already favoring Freesync in terms of market share and product offerings, as Intel stands a very good chance of producing very competitive graphics cards with the talent they've hired and the amount of attention they're giving it.

The video also mentions Intel's support for Vulkan, which I don't feel will have nearly as much impact given Microsoft's entrenchment there, but it's good that Intel is showing openess to... open standards, rather than trying to reinvent technologies with proprietary substitutes.

Ok.

Yeah it's truly competitive, and while obviously not the best for gaming, will be substantially better in things outside of gaming.

Blabbermouth.

It's an impressive feat, even with those compromises. It's a lot better than the Vita managed with games of its generation.

I need to stop checking CEB. This is the depressing crap that greets me.
