Seriously. **** 2020. He will be missed.

Some leaked Ray tracing performance figures from Tomb Raider https://videocardz.com/newz/alleged-amd-radeon-rx-6800-time-spy-and-tomb-raider-with-dxr-performance-leaks-out That's not too bad really! Looking more like a 6900xt is on the table

According to some user statistics is 87.113%*, you play the role of someone, thus; RPG. *I also like arse number pulls! The more decimal numbers, the more believable they are!

Failed skill rolls are usually the best catalysts for the most interesting sessions really, or just people desperately trying to avoid certain skill checks. And yes, it is really difficult, bar a massive improvement in AI that is likely never going to happen. Doesn't mean that one shouldn't try to come as close as can be realistically done in a game though.

Fallout 1 & 2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Baldurs Gate games, PoE, Pathfinder Kingmaker. These are a few choices from the top of my head that do well. Bloodlines is the only FPS RPG that I can think of that was somewhat satisfactory with the player/character separation.

It's going to be a great game I reckon. It's not going to be a Fallout though. Then again, my definition of RPG is much stricter and narrower than 99.869% of other users, I think there's only one person on these forums that would agree with me. I don't view it as an RPG, I view it as an FP action adventure with some RPG mechanics, atleast until I see proof positive of the opposite. Edit; Actually, @Gizmo might not be the same person that I spoke with back on the Bethesda boards right before Fallout 3 was released, where we pretty much agreed about player/character separation and were disagreed with by just about everyone..

Definetly, the hype was insane for CP2077. The reddit forums has calmed down a bit though, but it's gone from HYYYPE, to bitter memes now. I miss all the fanart.

The only person that I know in person, so to speak, that uses Linux is, well, a bit of a weirdo. He works as a programmer, goes home to program som more to relax, go to a rave on the weekend, do some drugs, have an massive orgy and repeat. If I had his programming abilities I would've made a go at Linux, but I'm way way to stupid to even try Linux. And most definetly way to lazy, let's not forget lazy.

That is definetly disturbing, though to be honest not at all unexpected. I'm glad to hear you're keeping safe though! Edit; I got greatly annoyed by a coworker of mine that told me he was going to a party this weekend so "get some ""siil"".. Bad timing dude.

@Keyrock I think you've mentioned using Linux?

Haha! It was, I started writing it on my phone, but I got so annoyed by it spellchecking, so I just mailed the text to myself, than one snuck by me No, they aren't bans, it's not illegal really, with the exception of holding public gatherings with more than 50 people. If you do hold a public gathering with more than 50 people you will get fined and up to 6 months in jail. https://www.regeringen.se/artiklar/2020/03/andring-i-forordning-om-forbud-mot-att-halla-allmanna-sammankomster-och-offentliga-tillstallningar/ So, yeah. That's about it. The translation is far from perfect, I am a bit tired but that's the gist of it. I should add though, that we do have contagion laws. So if you've got corona, and deliberately don't self isolate, you will get in trouble with the law.

I really don't care for yongyeahs videos, I don't like how he reads every single line in quotes and whatnot, and I can read ten times faster than he reads, but this intro was worth it. And for those of you who are like me; https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-10-29-ea-to-appeal-5m-dutch-fifa-loot-boxes-fine https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-29-ea-fined-10m-over-loot-boxes-as-dutch-court-sides-with-gambling-authority

Yeah, I was at the store last night, and I had to actively keep telling people to step back, told one to please use the tweezers to pick up the pastries instead of her fingers aswell (Not a major vector supposedly, but for ****s sake.. People don't really care. I did get a thank you from an old lady so that felt nice. Counterproposal; science challenged, callous, mercenary hippocrates?

So the region I and @Pidesco (Unless he's moved ) live in here in Sweden has seen a surge in Corona cases, and we've recieved some new local restrictions. I'm posting it here, because 1. I don't know how much Pidesco follows Swedish news, and 2. because someone might find it remotely interesting. https://www.gp.se/nyheter/västsverige/lokala-restriktioner-mot-corona-införs-i-västra-götaland-1.36293930 For the public; Refrain from being inside shops, malls, museums, libraries, public baths and gyms. Necessary visits to foodstores and apotecarys can be done. Refrain from taking part of meetings, concerts, shows, training in sports, matches and contests. This does not apply to children and young born 2005 or later. (Didn't know we had raised the legal abortion age to 15? Look at that, you learn something new every day) If at all possible, avoid physical contact with people other than those you live with. This means it's adviced against holding or participating in parties or other social events. The other points refer to shop owners and employers to make sure that people can follow these guidelines.

You called it https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/10/28/cyberpunk-2077-devs-didnt-know-about-the-delay-until-the-day-of-heres-why As CD PROJEKT is a publicly listed company on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) our communication has to be transparent to employees, gamers, and investors, as well as in line with the regulations of Polish Financial Authorities & European Parliament, and the Council & Commission Directives. Information of such business magnitude i.e. the delay of the release of the biggest project under development, is, until it is made publicly available, considered price-sensitive and confidential because it could easily influence the potential decisions of investors. In a nutshell, early, the unplanned release of this information could have potentially led to market abuse and manipulation of CD PROJEKT's stock price on the WSE. Therefore, due to the aforementioned regulations, the information on postponement of Cyberpunk 2077's release date couldn't have been shared with all of the Group's employees before the current report was filed and made public.

If it is the 6800, there's a good chance there'd be a decent performance uplift going to 6800xt or 6900 XT, but yeah, that's hoping for too much. And I should've pointed out that the SDK isn't a benchmark either, but atleast it gives us an estimate between the index finger and the elbow of what it could perform.

Stole this from the AMD reddit. Faster than the 2080Ti and Slower than the 3080. I wish that they had specified exactly which cards performance that was. If it was the 6900 XT ray tracing performance I'd be bummed, if it was the 6800 I'd be more interested. Well, we'll see the performance metrics when GamersNexus and similar get going.

If it get's acceptable RT performance I might have to get myself a 6900. It's almost more likely to get one than a 3080 it seems. Also "FPS (Up to)"? The hell is that supposed to mean.. Wouldn't that be measuring the spikes and not the average FPS?

Hell, if they actually did that it'd be awesome! I'd book another copy

Are those games confirmed to have ray tracing at launch though?

https://www.gfinityesports.com/article/7475/cyberpunk-2077-ray-tracing-nvidia-amd-hardware-gpu-cd-projekt-red-xbox-ps4-pc For those that care about such things. At launch there won't be ray tracing on consoles or AMD gpus. So I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that AMD gpus likely won't have ray tracing in older titles until that is fixed either.

Don't listen to him, that hat is ****ing fabulous, and I love it!

And 357 incoming cards
