The new Nvidia RTX 5090 delivers the fastest gaming performance ever seen from a consumer GPU - but at an average 31 percent improvement over RTX 4090, is that enough to meet expectations? And meanwhile, what about DLSS 4? Are frame generation fps boosts actually increased performance? It's tricky - and the discussion has only just begun.

Niftski's WR - 4:54.565

RTA Rules TAS (no left+right) - 4:54.265, 18 frames away

any% TAS (left+right allowed) - 4:54.032, 32 frames away

Holding left+right at the same time is physically impossible on an NES controller and banned for all real time runs.

This video probably should've used the RTA Rules TAS to make it a more fair comparison but oh well, it's still cool to see

I haven't seen Reddit give so much attention to the Fediverse in a long time. Maybe we can help them and answer some questions.

some forums that use NodeBB, will be interesting to see if they enable federation

announcement post from [email protected] : https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18545/nodebb-v4.0.0-federate-good-times-come-on

Comment below with any other NodeBB communities as people update their servers and enable federation

You can turn federation on and off (and adjust some other fun toggles) directly from ACP > Settings > Federation (ActivityPub).

While GDQ is still going on, Niftski just broke the WR again!

I think the human limit is 4:54.265

'Quake done Quickest 2' (QdQst2) is a segmented run that completes Quake on Nightmare difficulty as fast as possible, disregarding kills and secrets on all maps. The run is a major overhaul of the Quake done Quickest run from 2011. The run time is 10:20, which is an improvement of 69 seconds. Each level was recorded in one segment - played over and over again for hours, days, weeks, even months - and then pieced together to create this run. The project was setup in early 2022 and segments were grinded over a span of 2 years by many different runners. With the insane level of execution and optimization of modern-day Quake speedrunning the next generation of runners managed to go even quicker than "Quickest".

It's been an awesome experience, and we're very happy to finally release QdQst2 exactly 13 years after the release of QdQst! Hope you enjoy!
