I'm sure it'll be fun, but I'm not thrilled about Nintendo bumping the price up to $80 even before paid DLCs inevitably get added on top. Plus if the last Mario Kart is any indication then the price will barely get reduced ov

If it did, I think it's safe to assume they would have sold it to a quant firm and we never would have heard about it.

Also of note is that the RenderFormer tests and Blender tests were done on the same Nvidia A100, which sounds sensible at first glance, but doesn't really make sense because Nvidia's big-iron compute cards (like the A100) lack the

Yeah, and the big caveat with this approach is that it scales quadratically with scene complexity, as opposed to the usual methods which are logarithmic. Their examples only have 4096 triangles at most for that reason. It's a cool pote
