Nvidia says the RTX 5090 will have a total graphics power of 575 watts and a recommended PSU requirement of 1000 watts. That’s 125 watts more than the RTX 4090

Thanks, but no, thanks. I don't want to see this power creep in new cards, regardless of who is making them. Same goes for price creep. I.e. these top end cards are really just to show off that they are "better" by cramming more power usage and more transistors in them. That's not really helping to make them better.

It would be interesting to see what AMD are going to do as a next step for 7900 XTX but I sure hope they aren't going to mirror Nvidia's nonsense approach for power usage / pricing for that just to say "we have moar fps!!"

What I'm interested in is performance of 9070 XT vs 7900 XTX.

Oh, Rise of the Dragon is a nice addition. A cyberpunk / detective game.

After the update the game does feel more responsive.

Quoting: M@GOidSpeaking of trailers from CD Projekt Red games, do you guys know if the killer fembot from the Cyberpunk trailer appears in the game?

Yes, she appears in actual Cyberpunk 2077 - search for Melissa Rory.

According to CDPR sources, Ciri went through trial of the grasses. I guess there will be a theme of restoring witcher schools in the game?

The trailer graphics is very realistic, but I wonder if this is really a realtime rendering and what kind of hardware it can run on now to achieve that?

UPDATE:

I missed that it mentioned pre-rendered. So not real time. That makes more sense.

Quoting: JarmerInteresting that CDPR partnered with a 3rd party to do this update. I wonder why. Maybe they're helping them with other games right now and it was something to fill a short downtime?

I think the reason is that their main developers are all assigned to new games now. I actually didn't expect any updates due to that.

More secrets sounds interesting. I wonder what they added. I'm still yet to explore the whole FF:06:B5 thing.

Similar in some ways, but interface feels different. Try for yourself.

Overall I think it's pretty good.
