They really dropped the ball with only 8gb vram, it’s not like GDDR is expensive.

Outside of simracing, Pistol Whip is my most played VR game, despite the fact I can only play for so long until I have to lie down and curse my overall lack of fitness.

As a deck owner, it’s not that powerful, you’re never going to drive it at full settings on most modern games, so the size of the vram does not matter all that much.

Also, the GPU already does the cache work itself if the vram is full anyway, and GDDR is much faster than regular DDR, which is why you see stuttering on 8gb GPUs when texture resolution is pushing the limits.

With the spot price if GDDR6 modules it’s frankly disappointing to only see 8gb.

Plus, add in the fact that FSR/DLSS models take up valuable vram size to work for framegen and stuff, it reduces even more the availability for actual data.

Use Bazzite, or ChimeraOS if you do’nt care about desktop mode

Bulk pricings has increased sure, but not to the extent consumer price did. Capitalism, ho!

How much jank are you willing to deal with?

I’m a bit concerned about the vram situation. 8Gb is not a lot nowadays, particularly if you start adding stuff like ai framegen and stuff which these types of machines tend to need further down the line.

An extra 8gb wouldn’t have killed the profit margins.

I need a controller that can tell how hard I am mashing the buttons and games reacting appropriately.

Valve, after billions of dollars of market research: “we release this cool headset”

Average single braincelled organism: VR dead lol

I have used AI to ‘create’ art and music for entirely personal purposes. I shared some too with friends but that’s the extent of it. I would never call myself an artist or musician. People who do are delusional at best.

I get an unsupervised toddler eating something they shouldn’t have been able to get to in the first place…

A 13 years old should at least have a functional brain.

I guess we fundamentally disagree on the effectiveness of DEI policies at the workplace.

I will admit I was mistaken, I forgot the quarterly company wide corporate email asking employees to not be openly racist at work.

Truly solving inequalities, one middle manager asking you to sign that you’ve read the email at a time.

The problem isn’t that there isn’t smart women and minorities, they exist. They’re just crushed by the system. DEI won’t solve that. DEI won’t women and minorities the resources to achieve their dreams, DEI won’t give handicapped people access to a better life.

DEI is a bandaid on a festering, maggot filled wound. People slap it on and are like “wow, what a good job”, and it drives me crazy.

Social studies are about worth as much as the paper they’re written on. 60 years ago studies said black people were inferior. In 60 years it’ll be something else. They always match the era they were made in.

The only true solution to inequality is actual action against the cause of inequality, not some feelgood quarterly corporate email asking employees to not be openly racist at work.

DEI is nothing more than an acceptable form of racism.

Hiring people to meet quotas does not make a society better and does nothing to fix the root cause of inequalities.

Free access to quality education, healthcare and funding higher education for the people who can’t afford it is how you fix things for the better. This is the future and good.

DEI is the equivalent of a small band aid over a putrid, gaping wound.

Because fuck you.

• middle management.

Why the fuck are you defending google so hard lmao.

Google will absolutely put bad information front and center too.

And by using Google you make Google richer. In fact you get served far more ads using Google products than chatGPT.

What’s your fucking point lmao.

To get a decent result on Google, you have to wade through 2 pages of ads, 4 pages of sponsored content, and maybe the first good result is on page 10.

ChatGPT does a good job at filtering most of the bullshit.

I know enough to not just accept any shit from the internet at face value.

I use Wikipedia when I want to know stuff. I use chatGPT when I need quick information about something that’s not necessarily super critical.

It’s also much better at looking up stuff than Google. Which is amazing, because it’s pretty bad. Google has become absolute garbage.
