In that case, hard pass.

I think what he's getting at is that OLED isn't really a great technology, all things considered. Contrast is good and pixels can fully switch off. Hurray! Other than that, and the power savings from OLED, it's not really that great of a tech when you think about how little it brings to the...

Right? In 2007 too. What the actual fuck.

Define performance. And define worse. My 2500 Cummins can't outrun my Odyssey to save its life. Obviously it's a worse vehicle right? :)

Honestly, this thread title could read "Acura NSX, the death knell of Honda Civics". LCD's ain't going nowheres, not even gaming panels. For most people, price will always be king.

Dumb question. Is it possible to have a powerful GPU like an RTX perform all the rendering, and then send the output to another video card in the system with analog output?

I say Konami can suck my left nut for not offering Rondo of Blood on platforms other than Sony. Only reason I'm considering the system.

Hell no, no glossy for me. Hate that about the Wii U. Scratch/fingerprint magnet.

Mmm.... Kuro. I'm honestly thinking of getting a 65 inch plasma. Our 51 inch is a little too small for our big living room.

So am thinking of getting a PS4 for Castlevania Requiem. I also see that it has its own version of Minecraft and that version looks to be solid (4 player local co-op runs at a solid 30 fps at 1080p). Is there some quick resource I can go to, to see if a PS4 is worth it to me? Right now we...

Keep the pics coming!

Not to mention films being cancelled cause "muh raycism" and shit.

Dude, dump her. Obvious choice here. :)

Just purchased this screen and I wanted to give a shout out to those who are working from home and still using 1080p. This seems to be a solid monitor so far: - 2560 x 1440 - 27 inches - IPS - Great sound system for built-in speakers - 100hz - VRR if you're into that kind of thing - 100% sRGB...

Yep I get that. I agree. I mean the old Tseng cards can be considered gaming GPU's too right? I think they had the fastest DOS 2D performance. :D

I get what you're saying and I respect that. I do, however, feel that the first GPU to include T&L sets it apart from its forefathers. Before this inclusion, the CPU was still doing some of the heavy lifting. Not all of it obviously, and that's where the old graphics accelerators saved the...

Is this why my plasma refreshes at 96hz for 24hz content? It does look lovely. Do OLED TV's not do the same thing? EDIT - I don't mean 96hz specifically but just display 24hz content at a multiple - like 120hz (like most of them are capable of doing)?

I'm a BFI whore. Unless I see a FALD LCD that allows the same tweaking as my Viewsonic XG-2431, I'm not interested. OLED is the only tech that doesn't require extensive tweaking to get a perfect crosstalk-less strobe. Even if it's at reduced clarity compared to said XG-2431. So yes, I get...

I always find these kinds of products fascinating. They took some odd design choices and risks. With 20/20 hindsight it's easy to see that it never would have worked out but it's still fun to look back on them anyways. Parhelia's weird Vertex Shaders vs Pixel Shaders being one of those...

Dude, CRT and Plasma pimp-slap LCD, in my opinion. Yet I'm using LCD now. I use what I have for the job that I need. I do wish to get an OLED monitor though. But yes, I will continue to "go back" to LCD. Will I use LCD on my main gaming rig afterward? Probably not - why would I?

I wish all manufacturers put at least some effort into calibrating their screens like Apple did. A good bit of them finally are, but I always appreciated Apple for this. Anyways - I have no dog in this fight. Just saw your mention of a calibrated screen and wanted to chime in with how much I...

Nvidia gives you options as to which timing formula to use. I had good results using the GTF formulas, if I recall correctly:

Only a matter of time. I was driving home and explaining to my kids what analog TV was like "back in the day". There's lots of old stuff that children today have virtually no exposure to anymore. Sad.

I used to show off my GDM CRT monitors with this game. Absolutely gorgeous.

It's the first GPU with hardware T&L, which was the game-changing aspect of it. I think that you can make an argument for the claim of "first gaming GPU" using this standard. Before this the main CPU still had to do the T&L calculations. GeForce 256 eliminated that.

Its sound levels were compared to leaf blowers back in the day. That was the joke. Only the old bastages would get the reference.

I saw some of these at Home Depot the other day.

Better than nothing. It also gives us options. Woot!

Uh huh. :)

What's an Xbox? Is that like Matchbox cars? :D

I mean honestly, the best strategy is to get the best monitor tech you can given the time you have it, if it's available to you. LG CX owners and C1 owners can testify as 120hz BFI is no longer a thing for TV's and only recently just sprouted with the new ASUS monitor.

My man. Another reason CRT rocks. It will draw whatever you tell it to, provided it's in range.

In my opinion, emissive displays will always beat backlit displays. No, OLED doesn't get as bright as FALD, but they don't have to cheat to get their blacks either. I think the only real contender to OLED is the two-layer LCD panels, where one polarizer layer controls black and white emission...

Welcome to the cult... I think.

Where’s your sense of adventure?

Glad it's not just me. I had to switch back and forth between classic and remastered on a couple of occasions just to be able to see myself. Good deal. Looking forward to the update.

Thanks for this! Will watch the video - looking forward to it. My understanding is that the early release bugs and all that stuff applies to the European version of Tomb Raider on Saturn. They went back and fixed the bugs up in the North American and Japanese release. I do recall seeing a...

“The woman”. Lol

Frame pacing issues are in the PC version too when using the classic graphics.

Finished the first Tomb Raider the other night. My kids have been enjoying watching me play it. I warned them though that the ending was very anti-climactic. :D That said this brings me to my biggest gripe about the collection thus far - no level select! And no "Restart Level" option...
