New games are big because the textures are huge. It boils down to objects not looking potato when you get close to them while playing at 4k, especially on large displays like TVs. There are some beautiful games with minimal amount of textures and mostly shader and particle effects driven, but those are few and far between, and often not demanding. Like thumper

[@fujinshu]

Also, there’s lack of optimisation due to lazy development strategies that are often a result of increased cases of time crunch, which means MANY more games are being cranked out at once but the output of a game studio becomes sloppier as a result.

Margins on such low-mid cards are lowish because there's competition (would be lower if AMD had any mindshare). It's the high-end cards from nVidia that have no competition that give high margins, nevermind the AI stuff that has like 90% gross margin.

[@bdhale34]

if you priced all of the componants on a 4090 that card would cost you less than $300 to build. the profit margines are insane, on almost every product anyone buys because there are zero regulations on how much a company can rip someone off if they will pay the price.

[@concinnus]

@@bdhale34 You're talking out of your ass. While nVidia's profit margins are probably the highest in the industry (outside of budget cards at least), that means ~50% gross margin. The 4090 BoM is a hell of a lot more than $300. The GPU die cost alone is ~$225 assuming 90% yields.

[@tayzonday]

@ The tech hardware industry in particular has always seemed vulnerable to price fixing due to there only being a few suppliers and a few leading design IPs for memory, CPUs, GPUs, storage and the like. It’s not like Micron is a bakery in New York competing with a thousand others.

So far I can't get the Ollama stuff working with Vulkan because it's X86 only, but there may be other ways... still tinkering with that.

[@PixlRainbow]

@@JeffGeerling you should still be able to bypass ollama and load the underlying models through code e.g. tensorflow or pytorch. Those libraries have native ARM support, though to get hardware acceleration working you may need to specify that you want to use Vulkan or OpenGL, as they won't assume that by default.

OpenCL is also available on AMD gpus via rusticl if you have an up to date version of mesa if ollama or other llms can use that (provided it works on ARM)

Modern AAA games are big because they include huge high resolution assets like massive textures and their mipmaps, incredibly detailed models with often 6 level of detail, etc. It then has to include all the lower resolution assets for lower quality settings. Console games are often smaller because they can specifically tune the asset pool, but on PC you don't know if the person running your game is going to run it on low or ultra settings so you have to include everything to make that possible.

The CPU/bus bottleneck clears up at much lower resolutions (like 720p or less), but then things get a little more pixelated :( There's still room for improvement in the driver though-it's doing a couple tweaks that take away a little performance.

I think one reason why games are so memory-laden is better to keep up with the speed and demand of performance today. they don't compress their files as much so it is available right away. plus since today's peripherals and PC components can "dew it", developers don't bother trying to squeeze out any unnecessary bytes. so basically I'm sure there's a way they can like cut their code in half and save on memory, but because computers are so powerful and people have huge hard drive capacity anyway, they don't bother. plus I'm sure manufacturers of them are happy when you upgrade your storage to fit the next never ending games that are released

I realize it's in your wheelhouse of interest, and R Pi probably encourage you by sending you stuff, but you do such a good job making things look fun and accessible. I started thinking about seriously playing around with Raspberry Pis about a year ago. My frustrations with windows and seeing if I'd be more satisfied with Linux only making me consider more, and I stumbled on your channel when doing a little research and you quickly had me excited about a number of possibilities with the Pi 5. To the point I'm thinking I should buy a R Pi 5 or two this year in the coming weeks. One for retro, one for just normal stuff and learning Linux to see what I can do with it when I don't need my gaming laptop. (I'll probably start with one and have two different storage / boot drives). I'm still hoping that they create an (semi-)official Graphics Card hat or base to make that aspect easier for mid-range rendering. But that's probably another generation out, unless the market suddenly has a massive demand for it. Although I wonder what the boards for the CM 5 will offer when it becomes available. But if there's a reasonably accessible and inexpensive way to get the Pi to emulate like a PS4 Pro for gaming (~10 year old Mid-range gaming PC), that would be the point where I couldn't ask for more to be fully satisfied. The Pi 5 is already basically there, but the GPU is definitely not.
