The proprietary gsync approach with a dedicated hw module is indeed dead and most “g-sync” monitors just use the now pretty common vesa’s vrr (aka freesync).
However I did research a bit and found some “gsync pulsar” monitors but none have been released yet, I believe. They do sound like unnecessary overpriced products though. That’s Nvidia for ya.

Ray tracing*
RTX is a brand.
Regardless, given the performance impact and how few games actually have ray tracing (implemented correctly), it makes more sense to just disregard ray tracing altoghether.
It’s an undercooked technology used to push more expensive products, nothing more.
Regarding dlss vs fsr and xess, yes dlss has better quality but it’s also proprietary so I honestly do not care about it. Just like gsync died, dlss will eventually die as well.

As I already said, “american” cheese is called cheddar pretty much everywhere.
- Comment on Depressing awful town 5 days ago:
It’s used in hamburgers all over the world basically and you can purchase it in most supermarkets. In my experience, at least.
I’ve seen it in at least Japan, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Argentina and Brazil. It’s also always labeled “cheddar” instead of “american”.

How can you “rely” on DLSS when you can easily use XeSS or FSR?
- Comment on Depressing awful town 1 week ago:
I suggest you google cheddar cheese then.
- Comment on Depressing awful town 1 week ago:
Cheddar has more calories and fat than mozzarella. It’s also more processed and has more additives.

How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?

It won’t. That’s simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.

However, you’re increasing the client turn over, doing the cashier’s work and not getting a single discount for it. All of this while prices for groceries keep increasing.
Does that really seem ok to you?

I never said that.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 3 months ago:
The amount of effort it takes to make a movie is not small.
That’s precisely why I would favor original work over remakes.
By logic, this means that there are even more reasons for the movie being made because there are more people involved, each with their own motivations.
Not necessarily, no. The people working on a film might be doing it just because it’s their job. Not everything is a passion project. Also, when discussing a big studio production such as this one, the people that greenlight the movie are also expecting an ROI. Lots of big movies are just a product that produces money.
Also, there’s no reason to be a condescending prick.
Not being condescending. It’s just that wishful thinking just gets a chuckle out of me.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 3 months ago:
I can assure you that there is not a single movie where the sole reason it gets made is for money.
And that’s my cue to leave. Thanks for the laugh.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 3 months ago:
Not at all. I’m just saying that if it’s a remake, there should be a reason for making it other than just money, ideally.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 3 months ago:
Because it’s not better than the original and it costs millions of dollars to make. It’d be better to spend that time and resources on something that’s actually new.
- Comment on Please stop making Alien movies 3 months ago:
You’re missing the point. They’re not saying it’s a bad movie, just that it’s an unnecessary remake.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
You’re confusing changing the priority of the inputs with creating them. Not the same thing.
In my opinion this should be implemeted on a OS level for all to use
Tons of keyboard/mice features are applied per device. If you want to do this on yours, it’s free. Look it up.
There’s no barrier for entry and it makes the gameplay quicker. There are no downsides here, this feels like plain gatekeeping.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
The game is coded to not allow you to strafe while pressing both side buttons
The way this feature works haa nothing to do with how the game is coded and go, cs does not explicitly try to prevent you from doing this. If it does, please show me your source. If they actually wanted to do that, they could also add a minimum delay between the inputs and not ban anyone.
Allowing hardware to change how a character behaves lowers the skill ceiling.
Lowers the skill ceiling to strafe but strafing isn’t something thata everyone does. Considering that it makes you harder to hit, and shooting IS something everyone does, it means that everyone has to improve their tracking skills.
Still a closer analogy than “are they gonna ban low latency peripherals.” Genuinely baffling how you came to that conclusion.
If that baffles you, it means you didn’t give it much thought. Lower latency benefits people with better reflexes. If you have a mouse that has a high latency and I a keyboard that has very low latency, that means I can avoid more of your shots.
- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
The super light mouse doesn’t move itself.
These keyboards also don’t move your character on their own. They simply allow you to react faster by not requiring you to fully depress the key before the other input is accepted. This is simillar to banning n-key rollover if something like 4-key rollover was the norm. It’s an improvement on movement and raises the skill ceiling.
To top it all off, this feature is not hardware restricted. Unlike wooting’s other things like setting the key depress distance, which you can do because they have optical switches.
Imagine if you had a mouse that stopped moving when your crosshair passed over an enemy. Is that acceptable?
No. But that example is also nothing like the feature being discussed here. Are you sure you understand what this does?

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
Are you going to ban mice that are too light? How about super low latency peripherals? Are monitors next? Is there a limit for the specs on those?
I really can’t see how this makes sense for you.
