How would one “leak” “fake information”, exactly?

You know they’re shitting themselves. Progressive successes pose more of a threat to incumbent Democrats than Republican successes

Even I’m not impressed by Elon Musk’s PR team pushing a narrative of him being a victim of drug addiction in order to shift responsibility for his actions and also give him an opportunity to repair his public image by getting clean.

^ the real headline. There isn’t an amount of ketamine you can take to make you do a sieg heil on stage

causing a relentless onslaught of crime, vagrancy, violence, and death

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States

The population adjusted crime rate has basically never been lower than it has been for the past decade, in the history of the USA

Immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, have a lower crime rate than US born citizens.

Nope! It actually is mathematically how it works. Upscaling does not amplify NOISE, like eg surface boiling, although it does introduce many other artifacts. Noise, specifically, would be smoothed. The problem with upscaling is actually not noise, but oversmoothing, which is why it’s paired with sharpening. You can just look at an upsampled signal to see how noise is affected. Boosting gain would increase noise; interpolating samples does not increase noise.

You can test it yourself and see, just go ahead and disable the FSR and frame gen gimmicks entirely while keeping ray tracing on. Hell, disable all AA and motion blur while you’re at it, and really take a gander at what actual, unblurred ray tracing looks like.

Edit: also, “with low quality upscaling” lmao I’d love to hear what the implied “high quality upscaling” does differently 😂 something right? It’s totally different!!

That’s not down to graphic card.

Yeah. That’s literally my point. Ray tracing just isn’t there yet. Has nothing to do with GPUs.

Surprisingly, Oblivion Remaster running Unreal Engine 5 doesn’t have this issue even on RX 9070 XT.

Because you have aggressive upscaling and frame gen enabled, so you’ve blurred your screen to the point that details like boiling are lost and then artificially resharpened your screen with the details that an AI is guessing were there.

Disable these and set to render natively and enjoy the analog static

Are you kidding…?? I wish that was true. The worst I’ve seen it is in Marvel Rivals. It’s pretty bad in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Heart of Chernobyl as well

Rust

Ray tracing just still isn’t there yet. Even during the manicured ray tracing demo during the AMD announcement event for 9000 series, its nothing but surface boil. Looks like analog white static overlayed on all the surfaces.

A huge factor is rendering resolution. I only render at most <1080p (1024x768 or 1600x1200). 2x performance improvement over 6800XT in general sounds very incorrect if the benchmarks are run at 1080p, unless they are using upscaling and frame gen to cheat the performance numbers. Do you have a link to these benchmarks? I’d be less skeptical about a significant performance improvement over 6800XT if the benchmarks were done specifically at 4k resolution though as both AMD and NVIDIA have further optimized GPUs for 4k rendering each passing generation.

Upscaling/framegen and 4k are completely irrelevant to me, so counting that out, it is marginal improvement based on the numbers I’ve seen. I’d like to be wrong though, and I could be

Seemed like it was marginal improvement with focus on upscaling/framegen, which does not really interest me. I’m still really happy with my 6900 XT. Although, NVIDIA has been marginal improvement with significant TDP (💀) and price increase for several generations now, so whatever 🤷

Returning the shopping cart

because of credit card debt

wut, you’re the only one trying to make a comparison between credit card debt and the national debt. They aren’t comparable things, FYI…

wooooooosh. That wasn’t the comparison.

Also Norway is literally the prime example of when a sovereign wealth fund works and makes sense… They have a massive… wait for it… SURPLUS… due to their nation’s natural resources (oil)

Patently false.

😂 that cracked me up

Yeah of course they can, like I can open and fund an IRA while underwater on credit card debt…

Any nation can also have policies that are bad or stupid or horrific.

Because that’s where the money that is put into the fund comes from. Otherwise you’re putting in money that should probably be used to balance the deficit.

Those are for nations running a surplus, not a deficit.
