Just tried Gears 5 ⚙️ MP in 4K+HDR+120 Hz and my mind is a little blown. Definitely a new experience for me.
I’m honestly surprised at what a difference 120 makes vs 60, even on console.
I really hope more devs can target this magical rendering combination this generation.

I like to periodically remind people that Sony employees have friends at Microsoft. AMDers have friends that are NVIDIAns.
I’ve even seen cases of spouses (one at one company with the other at the primary rival).
The recent trip really made it clear how...useless all the console war bickering really is. I was completely disconnected from it for two weeks and it rules. I had an unhealthy relationship with social media but it's become clear that it can be used for good too (typo fixed)

The new HMD from

* Priority on comfort (127g!)

Game devs: benchmark mode should be thought of as a love letter to IHVs saying "please make our shaders faster". In doing so, please:
1. Enforce zero scene variance.
2. Make the bench an executable from the command line w/ no interactive menu.
3. Ideally DRM-free.
4. Update it.

That L1$ was my last major project. We did some neat stuff there. Quite proud of it (and Navi as a whole).
AMD RDNA architecture has 128 KB L1 cache and 2x throughput lower latency L0 cache. Turing also improved Nvidia's raw load latency (by 3x) and increased their L1 cache size. It's good time to start writing your own custom data structures on GPU.

CONS:

We need to end this narrative that COVID outcomes are binary (as in, you died or not), esp. for kids.
There's a *huge* grey area in-between, and we of course have no idea how long those impacts will last.
Even if your survival is all but guaranteed, you don't want this thing.
All three of my kids got Covid. Their hair is still falling out. Eldest has chest pain, exercise intolerance. Middle son has no hunger/thirst/taste & has lost weight; my youngest can’t feel his full bladder, & holds it until he sweats. No one knows what the future holds for kids.

CPU talk.
R9 3900X: ~$410
i9-9900K: ~$515
The 9900K wins on raw FPS. But for "smoothness", 90/99th percentile times, and (when streaming) dropped frames are what matters.
3900X typically wins in that regard. And for streaming, the 3900X (surprisingly) even beats Turing NVENC.

Unpopular opinion: most videogames should be far more expensive today. Typical MSRP for games since 1985 has been ~$50 USD.
In today's money: that's approaching $130 USD.
More than 2X the debut price of most games ($60 USD). And that's ignoring (ridiculous) sale prices.

Digital chips once had logic gates (transistor-level macros) tediously placed and routed by humans.
At some point we were blessed with automated P&R: You give the tool synthesized logic (a netlist of gates and connections) and the tool does all of the "hard work".
I'm confident our field will be around for a long time to come, but I'm also confident it's going to change a whole lot over the next few years
My suspicion is that now might be a fantastic time to start learning, because a lot of the more frustrating aspects will be smoother
