I think the problem is that games tend to exaggerate motion blur too much. When they make it barely noticeable instead, or adjustable, they achieve the desired result.

[@mksmike]

@@Tomoyou No, it's used to imitate the way your vision blurs when you move your head to look around. But since you're seeing everything through a screen and not actually there you will notice the blur much more easily. Which is why games should make it even less noticeable.

Secure boot has enough flaws and vulnerabilities to make it basically useless as a form of protection, but very inconvenient for normal users when a windows update inevitably breaks compatibility and forces you to disable it anyways (as has happened to me multiple times already) Sticking to signed drivers doesn't mean that they're safe, it just means that the company that pushed out the drivers you're able to install just paid some cash to Microsoft. There has been malware in signed drivers before, and it'll happen again. Windows update is just a huge annoyance, it's perfectly fine to disable it and install updates on your own schedule instead of having windows interrupt you while you're trying to use your computer. If you want to keep your computer safe, just make sure you have a good antivirus software installed and running. Secure boot, signed drivers, and windows update aren't nearly enough to keep your computer safe from actual malware

This is why and when it came about, in gen7 when they couldn't hit 60. But then, there are many cases where it plain interferes or is too heavy-handed due to technical lapses or control method. It's far more tolerable (and helpful) with a gamepad on games that don't rely on fast camera rotation, but it is prone to make you lose the spatial perception with mouse-aiming.

15:00-15:18 Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Those "tens of thousands of cards" would result in lower sales from Nvidia. There's no way Nvidia would go out of their way to lose potential sales. Had it been AMD, then maybe since they could use the increased market share and those potential customers would most likely buy Nvidia GPUs anyway.

More importantly, you can run amd cards with a fully open source driver (no blobs) on Linux very well and there wouldn't be any lockout in them.

I would like to see them (or anyone really) at least recycling boards instead of tossing them in a landfill. Even $10 off your next GPU for turning in an old one would be nice and they could easily cannibalize $10 of parts off the board with just a hot air solder station and a few minutes

You know... it's funny how this only shows up, right after a few months later the new graphics cards showed up on the market?

the wastefulness of the economy must be stopped, at any cost.

@@Anthonybrother The economy is build around overproduction and wastefulness. That's what we call capitalism.
