LLMs not being able to tell us what bread tastes like has nothing to do with intelligence. it’s a qualia. I think you meant it cannot KNOW what bread tastes like… although I still don’t understand why you’d think that’s a requirement for intelligence

I apologize for my last comment, I was drunk when I wrote it. I’d rather not put that kind of negativity into the world.

I do still disagree with you though.

On paper or not, the system supports it, which means that they are very likely NOT supporting two lighting systems, which means that, yes, my point still stands. The series S is only 5 years old. The minimum system requirements are for 7 year old hardware.

EVERYTHING else is a matter of optimization, which no one here can comment on until the game is released. You just cannot know the game will perform badly until it is released.

As evidence of this, I will again point to the Indiana Jones game which is a) Ray Traced, b) Runs on the series S, and c) runs at 60fps (although, admittedly it’s apparently blurry)

Consoles

Then don’t

check the community you’re posting in… aaaand then fuck right off…

This is my last reply because I just can’t with you anymore.

Those are some HELLA cherry picked examples. Both Dragon’s Dogma examples have the games running at MAX SETTINGS!

Even the Cyberpunk example, that was RAY TRACING on Medium.

I can’t read german, so no idea what is actually being said in the Indiana Jones article, but the closest equivalent I could find is this video which, frankly, tells me you’re completely full of shit.

It’s cute that you think that was a good counter argument

forcing gamers to have a sub par experience

The game isn’t even out yet and you’re commenting on performance! As someone else pointed out, the modern Doom games have a reputation for being extremely well optimised, so let’s wait and see how it actually performs on a 20 series card

As for needing a card > $1000 that’s just ridiculous. You can get a 4060 NEW for under 500, and again, the minimum here is a 2060.

Re: supporting old hardware, again. The minimum is 7 year old hardware. I was also around in the 386 era and to say that devs of that time supported hardware for longer, is at best, wildly exaggerated.

I can’t comment too deeply on consoles. I have no real experience with them, but from a very shallow level, the series S was released in 2020, and Google suggests that it supports ray tracing.

So my point stands. Stop expecting your 10 year old hardware to run new games indefinitely

So couple things:

The first RTX cards were the 20 series, which came out in 2018

There was a time when volumetric lighting was also optional

There was a time when GRAPHICS CARDS were optional.

The first game to require RTX was the Indiana Jones game, as did the Avatar game.

Shit moves on. Did you expect your 1060 card from 2016 to last indefinitely? How long did you expect developers to support 2 different lighting systems?

There is so much to be angry about these days, but not this. This was inevitable. If you MUST be angry about it, at least be angry at the right devs

Ye, and Musk is just autistic /s

The best piece of advice I was given, that I seldom see repeated is this: learn how the filesystem is structured.

It makes everything else easier

wait until you hear someone describe Nirvana as “an excellent example of late 20th century music” like some kind of fucking archeologist!
