Asus' has officially showed its upcoming HD 5870 Matrix card, an overclocking friendly beast made exclusively for overclocking enthusiasts.
Although it was showcased at CeBIT, next to the upcoming dual-GPU HD 5970 Ares, there were no details about the specifications or the details behind the massive heatsink on the HD 5870 Matrix.
OpenAI has introduced a new series of AI models, o1, that are capable of complex reasoning and problem-solving - including game programming.
This is basically a more advanced model embedding the chain of thought technique by spending reasoning tokens while "thinking" before providing an output and is more suited for heavy specific tasks in coding, math and science.
I have used it for creating complex game puzzles (for role playing games) using tiered approach and multi step reasoning and it worked liked a charm.
It does not support vision at this point however or other multi modal features, nor does it generate images (no DALL-E 3 integration yet) and it has limits for plus and teams users in usage (20 and 50 messages per week respectively).
I have create an interactive guide for it for getting started here

In any case, I believe that when the new models launch (GPT5 Orion, Claude Opus 3.5 and Gemini 2 along with Grok 3) we will see a big difference in gaming as well. Combined with text to video AI tools like Open AI's Sora, we will definitely see a decrease in quality in games and increase in. output, at least at the beginning.
In a few years where the models will be more fine tuned, we wont be able to tell the difference really
Well AI would be necessary for the sword art online VR experience ppl are expecting to exist somewhere in the future. Aka full body VR.

All of this translates to better image clarity and smoother performance, offering us consistent 60 frames per second with the best possible visual settings. The PS5 Pro also comes with a 2TB SSD and Wi-Fi 7. Question is, is a $700 price tag worth it?
Consoles definitely have their place because they're affordable and easy to use. But when you start changing those two things, that's when I stop seeing the value—especially now that exclusive content isn't really a big factor anymore.
When it comes to the PS5 Pro, I think Sony is asking for too much. That $700 quickly turns into almost $900 once you add the disc drive and taxes. Cutting corners by not including the drive and even the stand just makes the deal worse.
Still, there will be people who buy it. Some fans won’t mind the price. I just hope there aren’t enough of them, so Sony will rethinking this kind of pricing strategy for their future consoles.
Regular PS5: $449 + 2TB SSD $150 = $599
PS5 Pro 2TB: $699
It would have soften the overreaction if they would have stuck with 1TB and priced it at $599.
I don't know, is it? Do we have an actual component cost breakdown of the PS5 Pro? Because until we do, anyone defending or criticizing the price is clueless.
Yeah. I think the big miss is they should have just included the disc drive and dropped to 1tb for $599. At $699 plus additional expenses for physical games, it quickly got out of hand for most people to see the value.
Now, when you consider that it's considerably more powerful than the Series X 2tb sku but only $100 more, that's a deal. Problem for them is you add $85 after tax for the disc drive.
Still a better value but they should have mentioned 2TB in the presentation itself to soften the blow.
After thinking it over, it's still more affordable for me to upgrade to the Pro than switching to PC because all the games that are Pro enhanced, I already own. I would need to repurchase on PC and some aren't even there yet. Plus, I can sell my OG PS5 to cover half. Reasonable from there.
I would have compromised on storage space to meet $599 - include the stand too. The original PS5 wasn't 1TB anyways so it would still seem like an upgrade.
For a limited time, buy a participating GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card, desktop PC or laptop and you’ll receive a digital copy of Star Wars Outlaws, enhanced with ray tracing, Reflex and NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction.
Overclock this monster to 1 ghz and it will surpass a GTX 480 in performance and still use less electricity and give off less heat and cost less.
Can't wait for the HD 5890 to shut Fermi down like the HD 4890 did to the GTX 200 series. (except GTX 295)
All we need now is for developers to program physics in an OPENGL format so ANY card can do Physics and not just Nvidia. If not it's ok as ATI has company that will implement it no matter what in future games.
As Physx should be open to all and not just Nvidia.
