So you don't use an ups and everytime there is a shortage you just pray that nothing breaks?

Yep, it's quite stupid with 800€ GPU inside (and PS5 pro on the same outlet)

But power outages are quite rare where I live and I use power strip with safety fuse.

Long time ago after thunderstorm my GTX680 died, but i'm not even sure if it was related because rest of the computer was absolutely fine...

my home office room has these weird outages that only affect this room and nothing else. my guess is that having a giant 65 inch tv, ps5, two work monitors, a laptop and my gaming PC in one tiny room is not ideal.

I lost two monitors, one soundbar or rather a subwoofer of a soundbar plus both rear speakers, and my last PC's cpu and ram also got fried before i went out and got not one but three UPSs. nothing has broken since. its been over 4 years.

i still get random outages in this room once every few weeks, but my UPCs kick in and save the day. whats weird is that they only happen during the day when im home alone with no one else watching tv, doing laundry, cooking etc. And im just using my work laptop and not even playing games. i should probably have an electric guy come and check it out, but the UPSs are holding up well.

I have my tv and PS5 hooked up to one 600 watt UPS. My PC is hooked up to a 1000 Watt UPS. My work laptop and two monitors are hooked up to another 600 watt UPS. i tried hooking up my Brother printer to my 1000 watt UPS thinking it should work fine since my pc only consumes are 600 watts but it immediately shut down. I think i might be maxing out the power draw to this room even if all the electronics are powered off or in sleep mode. at the very least, it will beep and warn you in case you are overdrawing the power by connecting one too many things.

PCs are super weird like that. My CPU got fried, my ram became defective, but my GPU, SSD and HDD were all working correctly.

hell, even the CPU was fine. it just started running hot and would crash after it hit 100 degrees. the ram would load windows, it would just fail after a while. My RTX 2080 also started scoring lower on the Timespy GPU becnhmarks, but only by around 10%. Down from 26k to 24k on the GPU only benchmarks. my guess is some of the compute units got fried.

that demo also uses raytracing that's far higher quality than Lumen while running faster

oh really? The description lists DDGI.

Consoles always skimp on anisotropic filtering. I assume the PC version of DS2 will fix all those ugly things, just like it did in Forbidden West.

AF will help but LOD detail is clearly still ass. PC could offer better draw distance, but it does seem to be a weakness of the engine (at least in its current version)

oh really? The description lists DDGI.

direct quote:
DDGI + RT Reflections + RTAO + RT Shadows + RT Translucency

DDGI in addition to RT.
and all the RT effects are higher quality with less artifacts.

DDGI is meant to be used in conjunction with raytracing.
with the HUGE benefit of not being noisy... it doesn't need to be denoised and is stable.

so what you get is fully dynamic lighting, with minimal light leak, minimal noise, and FAR better performance than Lumen

You did not understand my post and you have delusional views about litterature.
But you just do you. I always will remember you fondly because of the thread you made where you were patting yourself on the back for making another thread that had lots of pages.
That was really good comedy writing ! So maybe you know something about writing after all albeit unknowingly.

Explain without the childish insults.

We are 814 pages deep and people still fail to grasp how stupid it is comparing open world games with linear exeperiences.

It's basic stuff, but still, here we are

True, but you have games like HFW looking better than some linear experiences, either way best fidelity is simply best fidelity, but we should account for other things as well.
