This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

DLLS and similars are nice for running newer games on outdated hardware.

Sadly it also enables studios to cheap out on optimization, you shouldn't need upscaling for 1080p medium on a new GPU.

Well that is a food point in late stages capitalism.

I was idealistically thinking about it light might be beneficial for those 480hz and whatnot screens coming out.

And for these new Blackwells like for 5070 the vram is still only 12, but they claim they have a much better resolution compressing tech or something.

Idk man but to me just thinking everything AI is "ick" is sort of ludditic. Yeah it's a garbage overhyped marketing term but some of the ~~features~~ applications people are coming up for sophisticated neural networks are pretty godddamn cool.
