Nope, no SLI for you GTX 1060 users

NecoTehSergal2845d ago (Edited 2845d ago )

A reminder that you can buy an AMD 480 and Crossfire it :P You know, support the company that supports your modding and customization desires. 2x 480's beat the 1080s.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI2845d ago

In what metric...? You are aware cross fire needs to be supported and developers have proven they don't care to support it.

RedDeadLB2845d ago

I guess they thought they were shooting themselves in the foot because 2x1060 > 1080 for about the same price. What they don't know is that instead of shooting themselves in the pinky, they straight up amputated their leg.

Oh well.. both AMD and NVIDIA have their issues.

GeisT2845d ago

Anyone making the 2x Anything > 1080 argument has never used SLI or Crossfire. It "works" on a day to day basis depending on drivers. The 1070 and 1080 are already amazing value cards for performance enthusiasts. If you want $700 performance then save your pennies and buy a 1080.

RedDeadLB2845d ago

Yeah, I know that. A single powerful card is always better than two mediocre ones. But then again, I'm starting to not like the closed direction Nvidia is going in.

Lon3wolf2845d ago

Maybe they are betting on Multi GPU with DX 12 but that is no reason to remove SLI completely at this point in time.

impet252845d ago

I'm sorry I know people are gonna say but having the option to sli is best but, sli is such a pain enthusiast or not it just isn't worth it at all. Trust me I've had 3 different sli setups in the last 5 years (660, 680, 980) and it's more trouble than its worth. From my 1St hard experience I do not recommend sli or crossfire, it's so much better to just buy the highest end single gpu you can afford.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN8h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos5h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger8h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto9h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos9h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long6h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel8h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator8h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg11h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos10h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola6h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
