Parkitect is the modern spiritual successor to rct1+2, while Planet Coaster is more like 3. The thing I (and some others) don't like about Rct3+planet coaster is that they're park painters where they're more focused on decora

Considering the 4090 gets 95% of the performance in games if you set a 60% powertarget [0](~90% in synthetics), I feel like they just juiced the power draw like crazy to be able to say they had the fastest gpu this generation (same with AMD

The 4080 12GB's performance is about the same as where a new 60 series card sits compared to the previous gen 80 series card (60 series tend to be within +-10% of the previous gen 80 series, 4080 12GB is at most a 60ti based on this) T

That list is terrible. They clearly didn't do any testing and just copied off the spec sheet, and ignored what enthusiasts actually recommend as good fans in 2022 (Corsair fans are terrible, Arctic F12 instead of P12, etc).

Your Skylake laptop has about 10x the single threaded CPU performance of the Switch. I wouldn't be surprised if the switch started lagging with one 8 reactor nuclear setup.

That's just a straight up lie. The current best Insignia TV (the F50 line) has a crappy 60hz panel with no local dimming, no real hdr, bad gradient handling, a bad scalar, mediocre colours, and low hz PWM dimming. It's honestly a

Nah, tiles hurt quality. Use Av1an (or Nmkoder on Windows if you want a GUI) with AOM to multithread the encoding by scene for offline encodes. For livestreaming, SVT-AV1 1.0 is now usable on good CPUs (eg. AMD 5800x+ desktop CPUs, Intel 12

SVT-AV1 has been both faster and higher quality than x265 for awhile now though? For ease of use, you can just use ffmpeg, or one of the many CLIs or GUIs that support AV1 (preferably either Av1an for CLI, or a gui that uses it under the ho
