Nyt Ryda wants KenMasters to buy a PC

[Nyt Ryda]

NVIDIA just casually offering free DLSS improvements to 2018-2025 graphics cards, with image quality improvements better than PSSR.



@KenMasters ready to preorder the 5090 this month?

Ah, so not this month but rather next month when it's in-stock at that PC store instead. Makes sense.

Hold your breath.

@KenMasters New ray reconstruction in AW2

Great to finally put a face to the name.

@KenMasters I will concede, console-only gaming sounds pretty fun.

PC space is a mess. NVIDIA drivers super unstable (had about 3 big issues last 2 months), Intel degradation issues rearing their head even months after it was "fixed" (had this last month too), AMD chips burning, everything's overpriced and ports are getting worse (Spider-Man 2 on PC by one of the best Sony porting studios turned out to be a mess).

A PS5 getting an optional Pro is fantastic and beneficial to you, a PC getting an optional new GPU is a terrible thing you have to consider constantly.
And a Pro connected to TV set up to colour-calibrated perfection with finely-tuned audiophile level equipment is nice and simple, but buying a prebuilt PC is just too complicated!

I think the real reason is that your wife doesn't want a big shiny glowing box in the living room, you can enjoy your PC in one of your many bedrooms when you retire back to a South African house and leave that overpriced European matchbox behind

While one can fantasize about it [just not at work!] I wouldn't say that all of us are overburdened with compelling reasons to lay waste to our bank balance with every new GPU iteration. Buying a new case [and mATX motherboard] IS something I have been fending off lately.


At least he has a reliable source of power-and a greater sense of security.
