Gamers do not want x.
Gamers are wrong about this.
That is definitely how it works. Keep pushing that line.
I don't like this movie.
You are wrong and must like this movie because I like it!
Fuck. Off.
We're at the "the customer is always wrong" stage of capitalism. Wheeeee
That's because everyone remembers that particular saying incorrectly, similarly to "a few bad apples," or "the blood is thicker than water." Everything and every saying is being twisted to mean exactly opposite what it should be to protect the pedophile capitalists that own everything.
Maybe so. It's too nice a day to get upset.
In this case the customers are giving an opinion in a matter of taste.
The blood thingy always meant what it means today:
Blood is thicker than water
No the fuck it didn't. That page is wrong. The full quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." Meaning that you can choose your family as an adult, and should do so with care and consideration.
Ah, and your sources? Like they have on the Wiki page. Cause the usual source for your version is "this blog, where somebody wants to sound smart"
My grandmother, as well as The Gospel of Thomas, IIRC. It's somewhere in The Apocrypha, I remember reading it in Catholic school
So is nvidia's plan to just not have any market share in a few years?
When the AI bubble pops they're going to need someone to buy their stuff again. Perhaps pissing everybody off isn't the best long-term strategy. But what do I know I'm only their target demographic.
They'll just force remote computing on everyone. They'll find a way to milk this further.
No. They force us to like their slop to keep their mouths full of shareholder-dicks to get more of that thick and juicy shareholder sap.
Same with DLSS 1, in a few years people will like it.
Probably... not? I'm not sure anymore, about it but i think everything is going to look the same in some years with this tech and we, gamers, are becoming more and more aware of our power to turn the tides so, our hate could bury the sloppy part of the tech. EPIC CEO thought the same (in some years people will love me) with the epicstore and people mostly still hate it even with 100 free games in their account.
And they'll keep being wrong. But that's ok, flat earthers still exist too.
That's been the line they have pushed for at least three decades now. It didn't seem to be hurting them until rather recently, when it started affecting the larger software world.
Gamers are not the primary market for GPU anymore. Its AI sadly. So they get away with shit like that...
DLSS has no application in AI, though, so that point is not really valid here.
Its a sideshow, a marketing gag, and they get way with shitty marketing because another industry buys their stuff anyways. I don't see where that is not a relevant or valid argument.
There's absolutely no application for DLSS 5 for anything other than gaming
