That’s a shame. Pavlov is one of the few games that supports dynamic foveated rendering (DFR) on AMD graphics through Quad Views. I was hoping to test the performance gains after getting big uplifts from DFR in Kayak VR but I don’t really want to buy an online-focused game that’s falling off.
I am on PCVR, Asgard’s Wrath just happens to be one of Meta’s few PCVR games with depth. I just found it to be a slog.
I’m definitely going to play Alyx soon, but I’m too sucked into VR sim racing at the moment. Le Mans Ultimate and Dirt Rally 2.0 keep me on the edge of my seat at all times.
I was interested in Contractors and the CoD Zombies maps that people recreated in them, but I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet.
I just got into VR and I recently tried Ace Combat 7 in VR… Incredible experience once you have the right setup.
As for motion controlled VR games, I tried Asgard’s Wrath and was pretty disappointed. Synth Riders is always a good time, and Kayak VR is gorgeous, but I’m struggling to find a game that has gameplay more compelling than “shoot here” and “swing your swords wildly.”
No worries, I still knew where you meant to end them, it just took me a second pass.
4K vs 8K on a 49" screen across the room is going to have much less of a noticeable difference than 4K vs 1080p on a 24" screen a foot or two away (dancing around the boundary of retina).
I think an 8K 42" would make a great single monitor for productivity, I just can’t imagine driving 8K at idle is very efficient if there aren’t software/firmware solutions to recognize non-moving screens.
I’m being annoying, but why do you keep opening parentheses without closing them 😭
Someday I will impress someone with this knowledge, and then I’ll look back at the time I’ve wasted scrolling Lemmy and tell myself it was worth it.
Did you tickle their balls while you sucked on their toes? Anything for a job these days.
If my 3600X has taught me anything, it’s that AM4 platform is truly a long-haul legend.
For me, it’s rarely ever furries. Usually it’s the waifu posts that get the hammer from me, mostly because I scroll this thing in public and around people I know.
I have used a handful of their mid-to-high end motherboards (relative to their product range) and they have never caused any major issues. This is obviously only anecdotal, though.
It could be the board, it could be the RAM, and it could be a fauly memory controller on your CPU. Although, if this was a while ago (pre-2003 for AMD, pre-2008 for intel) then the memory controller would be on the ASRock board.
In other words, a nightmare to diagnose.
Grok must be tired of switching between mechahitler mode and trying to logically think through questions.
They’re just not compatible, and yet somehow they keep trying to force it.
(I know, LLMs do not have feelings or get tired)
Oh, certainly. The reason I focused on speed is because an idiot using a shoddy LLM may not notice it’s hallucinations or failures as easily as they’d notice it’s sluggishness.
However, the meaningfulness of the LLM’s responses are a necessary condition, whereas the speed and convenience is more of a sufficient condition (which contradicts my first statement). Either way, I don’t think the average users knows what hardware they need to leverage local AI.
My point is that this “AI” hardware gives a bad experience and leaves a bad impression of running AI locally, because 98% of people saw “AI” in the CPU model and figured it should work. And thus, more compute is pushed to datatcenters.
Infinitely better, as long as your network and encoding are set up properly. At the very least, you won’t need the ice bricks.
I feel like the “AI capable” marketed CPUs are a sham. For the average user, it’s just going to feel slow compared to cloud compute, so it’s just training the average person to not bother buying AI-labelled hardware for AI.
I was thinking this. Choose vibe code, start from scratch. As cool as it seems to work with FORTRAN I’d probably hit a brick wall much sooner, and harder.
Never underestimate AMD’s ability to miss good opportunities.
