I will disagree here but maybe I am misunderstanding you. I agree that exclusives should be gone but competition is what keeps hardware so advanced if that matters to you. Also competition is what makes games so great. It even keeps the old school games fresh because we see a lot of remakes and refreshes of the most popular games.

How would a standardized system even work? Who would determine the specs, size of unit, the bigger, the more power fits in, what if it's portable like the switch or steam handheld, how do you work all of that out? Why don't they have standardized cars if all cars do the same thing, get you from A to B?

I agree with you. If they were both priced the same, then one could argue the differences in VRAM vs RT and DLSS vs FSR, however with massive price differences, they don't directly compare.

I will add that some consumers might want to look at the 7900 XT which still has 20GB VRAM because those are going for around $700 on sale. That's not a hype price, you can find them for around that on a deal. That is a damn good price point if you don't mind losing some performance and VRAM to the XTX.

Not quite. No one seems to notice that Nvidia GPUs can use FSR in all of those games. Nvidia allows AMD to implement a feature that works on Nvidia GPUs and shows that their solution is better but it hides or you have to figure out yourself that the reason is because it's tailored specific for Nvidia GPUs. The only thing AMD is blocking is for a game they pay for, they don't want the developer to implement a feature that can only be used on Nvidia GPUs, DLSS.

This would be outrageous if FSR only worked on AMD GPUs as DLSS only works on Nvidia GPUs.

In the future when FSR3 is released, if AMD goes the route of making it more comparable to DLSS in quality and it only works on AMD GPUS, I wonder how many of those Nvidia games would support FSR3 that only works on AMD GPUs.

What was wrong with Halo 4 and 5? I'm not a Halo guy so I didn't even play them to be honest. The MCC was rough at release because of the underpowered Xbox but I think they fixed it mostly for the X1X and certainly for the Series X. I played it only a little because again, I'm not into Halo and it ran great for the little I played it. I have the Series X btw.

Covid affected all software development but somehow it didn't touch 343 studios, right?

I actually enjoyed Halo infinite at launch and I'm not even into Halo games. I am more into open world RPGs. I love the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series. I am currently playing Medieval Dynasty and it's pretty good.

But Halo was good enough for me that after I finished it I was hungry for the same type of game so I played through Far Cry 5 and loved it. Then I went to Far cry 3 and finished that. I am half way through Far Cry 4 and also played a little Far Cry 6. All of that because I enjoyed Halo Infinite so much. And it was free with GamePass.

Don't split hairs with me, it was covid and you know it. This is just propaganda to stop the Activision deal from going through which has the cows on damage control gone wild.

What would be the point, I thought all PS5 consoles are shipping with high end gaming PCs and Halo gets ported to PC, no?

What about covid, do you think that had anything to do Halo infinite's development issues?

So it's as good as GoW:R? Got it.

What about covid? Why isn't anyone bringing up covid?

And what planet were you on that you don't know about covid? Why do you think it had nothing to do with this?

All this garbage is propaganda against the Activision deal.

You're lucky. I would throw up all over the place if I was exposed to that disgusting trash.
