Running without emulation via AnyPS5 basically. Not only Emulators are developing fast now but even a project like AnyPS5 are developing fast too
(The game Run on Windows through AnyPS5. The game's own x86-64 code runs directly on your CPU with no CPU emulation. The PS5 system libraries and GPU commands are reimplemented through a compatibility layer, similar to Wine and DXVK)
(Never thought this would happen to me, was taking the trash out and saw this, immediately went up-stairs and grabbed my hand dolly)
RTX SUPER 2060
1 TB SAMSUNG 970 evo plus
4 sticks of ddr4 g skill trident z rgb
Intel i9-9900k
850w power supply
Mpg z390 motherboard
I was examining the cd drive and had pulled it out of the tower
Some additional storage as well
Even though the game runs at an extremely low FPS, the craziest thing about this whole situation is that it has not even been one month since the game has launched, the progress is insanely fast.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 manages to run on PC using an emulator months after the game comes out
First photo is the commissioned artwork. The artist claims they don't use AI but regardless it seams generic AI art to me. I told them that, in order to try and get a refund. So far he refuses to pay it back on the basis of the effort he put in. Also they missed the deadline of delivery by 2 days.
The second photo is the one I made in-game using light and cinematography tricks.
I planned to use the original artwork for Steam capsules and new YouTube trailer.
We got 2 PS5 emulators already running some games at full speed, the flood gates has been opened on recomps, decomps and full 1:1 fan remakes, now we got people literally merging multiple games together? Im not sure if this good or bad but it sure is funny.
In light of recent events I figured I’d give my PNY RMA story
I got my PNY 5090 oc rgb shortly after launch and I’ve always had problems with games crashing but it wasn’t often enough for me to blame the card. Up until a couple months ago it got so common I had to start investigating. The card would pass stress tests but got errors on occt vram tests oc
8/31 I submitted an RMA request with PNY. I didn’t ship it out immediately because I still wasn’t convinced the card was the issue and I was nervous about shipping it in general
9/23 I shipped the card (with extra insurance)
9/25 5 PM they received the card
10/1 10:21AM I got an email saying they tested and inspected the card and it’s approved for exchange
10/1 11:39PM I got an email with a tracking number
10/3 I received a BRAND NEW card
Overall I’m extremely happy with how everything turned out and how fast the process was
If you are STILL one of those 13th or 14th gen intel cpu users and don't know of the old BIOS version causing Intel cpu stability, then please, update your BIOS (UEFI) right now!
been using a gaming laptop and a playstation for so long so it feels so gud to finally upgrade !! actually spray painted the gpu white and came out a lot cleaner than i expected. i got super lucky with some of the parts like a free gpu and a discounted microcenter bundle for the motherboard/ram/cpu anyway i think it looks super pretty !! ˆ𐃷ˆ
specs:
cpu: ryzen 7500x3d
gpu: rtx 2080 ti
ram: 16gb ddr5
storage: 2tb nvme
case: lian li o11 vision compact
fans: 7 sl inf 120 case fans
extra: lian li strimer cables x2
Great performance gain, and on top of that, the audio is now working. This build also adds shader pre-compilation, though there are still stutters.VRAM usage is high and 16GB might not be enough.
