The shady info about Facebook keeps coming, Big Screen Beta VR dev stated he was told by Facebook that they should join them as they will just crush them anyway and apparently there's a long list of VR developers that have been in a roundabout way basically threatened by Facebook.

I bet you zuckerberg isnt even aware of half the shady dealings that go on once he lets his executives get free reign on everything.

Probably why he looks so worried every time he's questioned by officials "Oh crap what did they do now".
I used to like Facebook for what it was meant to be but as of right now it needs a major house cleaning, The platform itself has turned into a cesspool and its owners are just nuts.

More damning info about Zuckboys anti competitive plan for VR, In 2015 he wanted to buy Unity which is used by a lot of VR devs, Thankfully it fell through.

I didn't expect AMD to be this much behind.

Not hugely surprising. Gaming notebook sales are on the rise and AMD barely has a foot in that market. As much as people love to hate on RTX, it is a major feature that NV has and AMD don't which is another huge factor.

EA decided the best thing to put into Sims next is Star Wars...

I have no words. If there's one thing the main Sims community doesn't care about, it's Star Wars

DF had a 3080 for testing, they weren't allowed to release FPS or frame times, but they could compare it directly against 2080.

Its impressive results.

Up to 80% faster on average than a 2080, So probably around 30-40% faster than a 2080 Ti for nearly half the money of a new 2080 Ti FE, That's pretty damn impressive.
I honestly think ill end up with a 3090.

Personally couldn't justify it, I was actually thinking earlier "maybe I should get it for VR ?" but common sense took over XD
im thinking more towards upcoming titles. Really want to keep pushing this 240 hz monitor to its limit.
At the moment, replaying Mechwarrior 5 with butter smoothness feels like a whole new game. its so enjoyable.

I only play at 100Hz Ultrawide and also do VR at 120Hz so I don't need in excess of that really, Will be interesting to see benchmarks though.

Pretty interesting stuff, Microsoft adds more goodness to DX12.

ID's lead programmer says that 8gb will be the minimum VRAM needed soon. He also tweeted that you should buy a card "with as much on as you can afford" for the next gen games.
So the 3070 is already on borrowed time, and the sodding thing hasn't even come out yet LOL.
What did I say? about two hours ago? No trickery can make VRAM appear that is not there.

Want to bet there's a way?
Called, optimization! Whether through pipelines or game design.
At a certain point yes it's not enough, but it can definitely go a long long way. Especially game design. It's a rather major factor into the tech requirements of any game.
