Software rendering is back on the menu folks
Wonder how long it’ll take for Intel’s cards to become good enough.
Thank you Rule 63 Jensen, very cool
Fuck you too, Lisa.
this is soul crushing. greed ruins everything.
The next hardware manufacturer saying “Actually, we do GPUs for gaming” will be King/Queen of the world.
Also “Luigi, we need you so bad.”
Not gonna happen any time soon. The barrier of entry is massive.
Making decent drivers alone is a humongous undertaking: You have to catch up to the work of several decades - and it’s a moving target. That’s on top of just how difficult it is to design good silicon. Just look at how Chinese GPU manufacturers are struggling to match low-end cards from 10 years ago (even though they are lying and claiming they are matching high-end cards from one generation ago) with cards that have many times the power draw and cost - and all of that with far worse games compatibility.
Hell, even the giant that is (soon to be probably: was) Intel failed to leave a mark in the dedicated GPU business and they actually have decades of experience making (pretty shitty) integrated GPUs and (even shittier) drivers for them.
Will these data center only companies continue need those big driver design and implementation departments if they are narrowing their focus like this? Maybe there will be a batch of experienced devs looking for a new place to hang their hats?
Good thing I’ll be getting my next GPU from ebay
remember she is related to Huang, by cousin.
Somebody bring back Matrox or Cirrus Logic, please.
Are we going to soon find out exactly how secure data centres are? With lots expensive computer hardware and i assume not many staff.
I don’t know what ya’ll are complaining about. Gaming will move this direction anyway as gaming is droplets of piss in the computing budget world.
Stadia was just too early.
We are a tulip first investment firm
A+ historical reference
I’m sorry to break this, but would love someone to educate me here, pretty please!
First ‘stock’ market bubble and crash was in tulip bulbs.
And it was far earlier than you would imagine. And far dumber.
popcorn futures too.
I’ve got some south seas islands you can plant them on…
What a cunt.
At this point, we’re gonna need Valve to get into the GPU business or else PC gaming is going to collapse
Monopolies got us to this point. Another monopoly isn’t going to save us.
The solution is politics, regulations, and enforcement. These companies are breaking laws, and have even been found to do so in court (see how many times Google has been found to be a monopoly, for example). The problem is spineless and/or corrupt judges and politicians not doing anything about it.
But just a few weeks ago, MAGA seemed unstoppable, and today it’s completely dead. There are still corrupt dems in power though, and they’re going to try to steer us towards the same do-nothing equilibrium of before, so we gotta keep the pressure up. This is a great time to write to your elected officials, especially the ones who weren’t up for reelection this cycle.
Not really. With AAA maybe, but there are millions of great games out there that run on basically phone hardware. And with valve creating a translation layer for x86 to arm, all of them are basically in reach.
Once I tried to design my own open-source GPU architecture.
BTW if anyone wants to reuse the name “VideoDSP” for the shader cores, then feel free to do it.
“…if you believe—which I do, deeply—that computing in many ways equates to intelligence. So the more compute you have, the more intelligent you are…”
Why did nobody in the room interrupt at this point and challenge the validity of the assertion. Sick of these people getting away with spouting nonsense
Glad the article goes on to disagree but i want to see these challenges happening in real time.
“the more compute you have the more dunning-kruger you are”
TIL I am a computer.
Stop all the downloading.
Porkchop sandwiches?!
Help computer
“my product equl intellegence, more product? Basically bigger brain.” Is crazy unsubtle marketing.
This is not being sold to the wise, or the conscientious!
