Hey jingles I just had to say thank you I've been watching since 2012 or so I'm now 25yo 2 boys I'm raising by myself and making it through life just thank you for your words of wisdom over the years
Hey Jingles! Were you aware that last evening/night the biggest player driven event in Elite Dangerous history took place? Around 1000 players went to HIP 22460 and took the fight to the Thargoids. I was there, it was sight to behold to see hundreds of ships orbiting a planet waiting to drop in. At a point in the event discord call I heard that a Hydra was taken down in under 10 seconds.
I saw that was going on. I'd just gotten back into Elite a few days ago and was thinking 'do I take my bubble-bus down and have a look?' ... I didn't, but it was cool to know it was going on.
It's gonna be REAL interesting to see what happens when Ubi collapses after the failure of AssCreed Shadows. It'll be the first major publisher to fall down in the era of digital distribution.
They made like 3 good games and then copied the format (which isn't bad on itself, see cod/bf) and then they wokeified them (which is bad) @@ninobixio6156
I'm a current Nvidia GPU owner. I didn't spend as much as I did on it just to use frame gen. Jensen can stuff those extra fake frames where the sun don't shine. Not only that, but I've found that framegen, even in Cyberpunk, makes the whole thing feel spongy and unpleasant to play.
I have a 6800XT and use frame gen if needed, I even use the AFMF tech if there's no FG, which is basically just a driver level frame gen(kinda) and it usually works just fine. Frame time might be a bit higher but if it doesn't go over 20ms it's fine .
In regards to Ubisoft and their many, many controversies regarding AC: Shadows, they aren't getting away from controversy (or angering the Japanese) any time soon! The new release date happens to be the anniversary of the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack. At this point the level of incompetence at Ubisoft is staggering; it's like they are actively trying to anger the Japanese.
well they can go and call it AC 9 ... It would be like a game about a famous Scot with our Mighty Overlord as voice-actor. Or a black female Jarl set in Viking-era Denmark , oh wait ... ... Ubisoft executives could still go and work for Netflix.
I'ma tell you Jingles, I too have never played the Like a Dragons series. But I saw a screenshot today of this upcoming title, featuring a guy in a purple pirate outfit, and behind him was a guy in sci-fi armour that wouldn't look out of place in Mass Effect and my subconscious simply went "yep, that's Like a Dragon alright", and moved on before I realized what it was I had actually seen.
So just a little note on Like a Dragon - Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii - that's the latest in the old Yakuza series, whose name in Japan was always Like a Dragon (so far as I understand, leastways). It also features guest appearances from two of my favourite streamers, which is nice.
But Yasuke *was* a samurai, or so Wikipedia says. "Ōta states that Nobunaga made Yasuke a vassal, giving him a house, servants, a sword, and a stipend. During this period, the definition of samurai was ambiguous, but historians think that this would contemporaneously have been seen as the bestowing of warrior or "samurai" rank." This predates the way Hideyoshi set the Japanese caste system in stone.

The thing that will matter with the 5070 (and the other not 5090), is the power consumption. If they do provide extra true performance, even a bit, over the 4000 series, for lower power consumption and have the bonus of the new frame generation, then taking into account the potential lower price point, yes they are going to be good GPUs to have. This from someone who can't afford to buy one and is stuck to his 2014 mid tier laptop. Ubisoft for me died when they started requiring their client/account for their games. Over 10 years ago IIRC. So while I had good feelings about the company since their very first game (Zombi), they are dead to me for a long time now.
they could have made the afro samurai character a side quest, hell even a quest chain about his life during those times and those places, and no one would have minded or people would have liked it. But ubislot just had to go the fantasy road...oh well, won't even bother sailing the 7 seas for that title
He would've actually been a perfect "main" side character in the game. We know that Yasuke came to Japan via the Jesuits, that Nobunaga was interested in seeing a black man, that Nobunaga hired him as a retainer and that Yasuke survived the death of Nobunaga and then likely returned to the Jesuits. Nothing else about him is known. We don't really know what the may or may not have done as a retainer. This allows for the perfect opportunity to explain all the missing information as his activities in assistance of the Assassin's guild. His actions weren't recorded in history, because he was secretly doing stuff to disrupt the Templars. They could've used him as a massively important story character and it would've made perfect sense. Even ticks some of those "inclusion" boxes if they make him be the most important side character. Basically, turn him into what Idris Elba was for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Absolutely could've worked.
Hey Jingles I hope you see this. I want to thank you i recently applied to join the Bundeswehr to join the Navy. I always love listening to your old stories. Would love if you have playlists full of them xD
Funny enough, Yasuke (mentioned at 15:26) was depicted as a Samurai in another historical fiction game. He's in a Japanese developed *and* published game, Nioh 2. Nobody even batted an eye at his inclusion. I mean, he's literally called the "Obsidian Samurai" in Nioh 2. That's pretty blatant. Dunno why people are getting their panties in a twist *now* when he's been depicted before just like this in a japanese game previously. Is it a bit of a dumb choice to make him a main character? Yeah, in some ways. But the (extremely important) bathing scene between Nobunaga and Yasuke wouldn't hit as hard if it was just a random cutscene between NPCs, now would it? Now if that cutscene doesn't exist, then there's clearly a problem. Ubisoft are French, after all. They love their scenes like that in France. Anyway, people should be getting their panties in a twist for more important things than Yasuke being a main character. Like depicting his relationship with Nobunaga accurately. Or having the right bloody buildings in the game.
Here's what's being missed with DLSS4. While it is "giving" you higher frames by faking, your actual actions on screen are running at the native resolution. So, while it may be displaying 240+ frames/sec, you're only being able to react (and the game will only react) as if you're at the native resolution (for example, if you're at 60 FPS native, the game reacts at 60 FPS even though it's displaying at 240+ FPS).
@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA Not the same. If you understood how DLSS3 and DLSS4 work, you'd understand this is more than monitor refresh. If you turn up the graphics to the point where the card is only able to do 60 FPS, but your refresh rate on you monitor can do 180 FPS, the monitor still is going to drop to that 60 FPS. DLSS renders another frame that the driver "thinks" is coming next thus making the game appear to now run at 120 FPS (or in the case of DLSS4 inserts up to 3 other frames). However, your input is still going to work based on the original non-DLSS 60 FPS.
@@csdn4483 And that's why native 60 is usually a soft recommendation, input lag isn't a thing really if you can mostly get to 60 but the picture will be a lot smoother.
@@TheLazyFinn not the point again. if you have a monitor that is capable of a higher refresh rate (140+ Hz is pretty common now), but if your video card/cpu is only going to pull 60 FPS natively with DLSS4 you can get the effective FPS to "appear" to be 120+ FPS (potentially up to 240 FPS). *HOWEVER* the game will only react to your inputs at 60 FPS, so those 3 additional frames do not react to your input until the next true frame. Before you go, people can't see above 60 FPS or 60 FPS+ doesn't matter, you're wrong as it's very noticeable and there have been studies where they have shown some exceptional people can see 200+ FPS while most people can see between 120 FPS and 140 FPS.
I honestly don't think the Japanese care about Yasuke being called a Samurai. After all, he's the Main Character in Afro Samurai, a classic anime. I do think that Ubisoft should take more care with historical settings, and not being bluntly racist by changing Japanese culture and architecture for Chinese. I bet though that the idea is that they can get better sales by pandering to the Chinese market...
Oh they absolutely care about him being called a samurai in this context. Afro Samurai never claimed to be historically accurate whilst AC:Shadows does.
I'm Chinese, I've been to Japan four times. The architecture in what I've seen of AC:Shadows doesn't look particularly Chinese to me. China has no tori gates, and the pagoda that features prominently in the marketing materials is distinctly Japanese. I've been to one that looks just like it in Kyoto. Japan was heavily influenced by Chinese architecture, so there's going to be similarities. I'm not an architecture student or history buff so there's probably some details I missed, but they're more likely to be errors/laziness in Ubisoft's art team (or their subcontractors' art teams) in pulling references rather than any real attempt to pander. The general Chinese gaming public isn't going to be familiar with that level of detail either.
The one 'Japanese' game that I am desperately excited in 2025 about is 'Showa American Story', though I think the devs are based in China lol. It just looks amazing and is a love story to Japanese Americana and is a bizarre fusion of both. Its full of awesome pop culture references and just looks like damn good fun. I hope Jingles at least looks up the game. It's described as a Japanese Zombie Apocalypse in 80s America....what could possibly be better?
Apparently a lot of the information used for Yasuke is based on a book by a guy who's sources may have amounted to "Trust me bro." for the majority of it. Like the guy definitely existed but extremely little is known about what he did outside of a couple sentences. I can't say how truthful that is, because I don't really care that much as I doubt I will ever play the game, even if it is good... I've just never cared to play Assassins Creed games because of how Ubisoft designs/bloats them (outside of the very first one).
There's no evidence that he ever fought any battles or did basically anything of any real note during his career either, maybe that'll work to their advantage, because as long as it's done in such a way that he's doing his normal duties in between assassinations and such, maybe the gameplay will involve redirecting attentions away from his real persona. I mean they can also take it another direction and make up whatever they want due to the lack of information about him, and make it that records of his deeds were all destroyed or something...
There are a whole 2 sentences about him in historical documentation. Needless to say that guys book was 99% "creative interpretation". He lost all his "professor"ships in Japan when they found out what he wrote and did to the wiki. (Noone checked the contents of the English publication of his book which basically amounted to historical fan fiction)
@@tsunami729 And that the main historian on the subject is not even Japanese and has been essentially making stuff up about Yasuke based on a tiny bit of text somewhere AND has been gaslighting the Japanese in the process. His works translated into Japanese contain different facts and portray them in different ways. His stuff has actually ended up in Japanese schools essentially changing their perspective on history. Japanese are not really happy about him either...
Idk I'll see how bad it is because lets say you have 120 FPS. You'll have the lag of 30 FPS and the quality of 120 FPS. That's my thinking. That or I fucked it up and I don't understand how it works
@@Der_Dekanter I am not sure that I fully understand your explanation. I do not understand, what does it mean lag of 30 Frames Per Seconds. Only time unit is 1 second. I do not like fakery from NVIDIA, but it will not be so bad as lag 1 s :) I will wrote, how I understand, it will work. Lets mark real frames (pictures) as G - generated. Lets mark frames generated by "AI" (it is not, but AI has no meaning any more :)) F - fake. Sequence of frames: G -> F -> F -> F -> G -> F -> F... I think there will be permanent lag 4 frames, when card shows frames 1 cycle back (cycle is: G -> F -> F -> F). Card will shows fake frames, after they will have new G frame. When you have 30 frames per second, it is frame every 30 ms (this is on lower limit or under , what could brain think as 'smooth'). Now some players notice, that game is not smooth, when it do not have 100 frames. When you have 100 frames per second - frame every 10 ms. It is not total equivalent, but if some1 notice (not me), that something is wrong in frequency 10 ms, lag 30 ms could be noticeable. Also quality 120 FPS is not possible. It is still only approximation. Ghosting and another issues will be visible, when you are faking 75% of frames. Also I am afraid of smoothness of fake frames. How it will look like, when it will not be linear interpolation (teleports in games, or just corners - you are not moving in strait line, acceleration, deceleration). But for this, I will need time to test it by myself. Next issues game developers are people and people are lazy. So optimization of games will be even worse and we will have to catch up with this fake frames.
@@Der_Dekanter Yes, exactly. The framecounter will say 120fps but it will still only have the responsiveness of 30fps. This means this will create around 25ms of input lag, which will be very noticable because itl spike up and down and with every real/fake frame transition.
Graphics running 120FPS, physics and input running 30FPS. A sense of pride and accomplishment every time the GPU manages to not have a silicon fart on fake frames #2 and #3. Going to be really interesting to see the comments if it looks good on youtube but feels like your playing in syrup from all the stuff being out of sync.
24:30 Important part of that is that it remains tradable forever, and wont become tied to your account if you wear it, like it might in some games. You can sell it for about the same price if you'd like. You could say it's better value than buying a new car, a new car will lose a huge chunk of its value in just few years, the hat's value will most likely keep going up because you cant get them anymore.
Isn't March 20 the 30th anniversary of The Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack ? Its bizarre they choose that date for the first Japanese Assassin Creed??? Ubisoft 😬😬😬😬😬
The biggest amount of real money spent on digital pixels for a non-existent thing was $250,000 to $500,000 for some land in the Second Life commercial centre/zone next to the IBM building. Looking it up now Second Life is telling me the district/area/IBM building does not exist anymore
Paul the guy in question didn't got the gold in wow from tokens. there is a limit on the number of tokens an account can purchase per week. As such the person that got the item for that amount of gold would have to be buying and selling wow tokens for multiple months before hand. The gold come from 3rd party gold sellers .
The thing I find fascinating about frame gen is that it's not a million miles away from how our eyesight actually works. Our eyes provide information, but the vast majority of what we perceive is our brains, guessing what we should be seeing.
Just saw a street interview with a person from Newcastle and I can't help but wonder how Señor Jingles escaped that silly accent. Up the toon by the way
I am quite surprised that Jingles didn't even once comment on the chaos going on in the Cyberpunk game. Like, as he was talking, I was literally thinking "What the fuck is going on?" 🤣
I might as well also shout out the entire Yakuza/Like A Dragon series, they're actually amazing hardboiled Japanese crime drama games. And they can pivot to being extremely silly in side-stories. You should give them a try. The new Like a Dragon Pirates in Hawaii game will definitely be up your alley just from the ship combat, Jingles.
Edit: Oh... You said exactly that few seconds afterwards lol 4:36 Yes. You still get the input lag of what you have at your REAL fps level, PLUS you get +1 frame of input lag because the gpu has to have a frame in an extra buffer, so that it can generate frames between the newest and 2nd newest frames. So you do not get less input lag, it might just look smoother, but it will literally make you play worse because of the added input lag.
a small correction, all RTX card include RTX20 will support DLSS4 upscaling ( there is a new DLSS more advance upscaling in DLSS 4) but they will not support the multi frame generation of DLSS, that is for the RTX50 only. its the same as DLSS 3.5 work today, u can DLSS 3.5 upscaling and ray reconstruction on RTX20 but not frame gen.
You can´t tell me outstanding performance is doing your job 25% of the time you´re supposed to. That´s exactly what frame generation is. That´s like a four clinder engine firing one cylinder every four rotations of the engine. The truth would be "You can get 4090 framerates for half the price", you can´t get the quality.
Speaking of Assassins Creed shadows, according to some comments iv seen under videos talking about this. Apparently the 20th of March is also the date of a Terrorist attack in Japan from Years ago. More specifically a Sarin Gas Bombing of a Subway. I didn't know about this ether but.... your telling me NO ONE at Ubisoft didn't do a quick GOOGLE search? Id imagine though, AC Shadows is probably going to be about what you expect from AC these days. IE something like Odessey.
I've put about 80hrs into Cyberpunk and 80hrs into Valhalla. I could probably name every character I met in cyberpunk and probably most the side characters. Valhalla I think I can just about remember the main characters name. I know folks value different things in games but for me story is king. I can overlook a fair amount of shortcomings if the story grips me. With Ubisoft they've completely lost the ability to write a good story or write believable characters with depth.
TF2 is well known for the absurd prices given to their items. For example, there's a type of melee weapon that's notorious for being sold for high prices. A frying pan. What's so special about it? It's gold (Actually "Australium" a fictional super material), and when you kill someone with it they turn into a gold statue. Sure, that does make it more that just a bunch of cosmetic pixels, but it's still ridiculous
@@x-uca7465 From my understanding her boyfriend lives in Texas, hes basically an American version of Jingles. I believe they are just friends now but who knows.
@@amplemind9739 Yeah just like friendly roommates at this point. Man I’d feel weird if my partner was living with her ex in another country. Honestly good on them for being able to do that.
You said there are no winners, but that's only in the short term. Ubisoft going down for this would be a good example to other the other AAA morons making slop. Long term they might learn something, or someone who knows what they're doing can at least buy the IP from the sinking ships
The top graphics cards are for people who can write them off as tax expenses. The $2k price only makes sense that way. Shadows will be released, certain youtubers will w**k themselves dry over it, due to the brown envelope having landed. Then people will move on and forget about it. Much like Starfield. If Ubisoft survives is another question though. Only time will tell.
AMD's Frame Generation Latency was fixed a year ago. NVidia can't catch up and what they have they lock it to the latest GPUs to sell more. Even Raw rasterization, in some slightly older games, a 7900XTX is within 5% of a 4090's raster performance at half the price, plus I can just click AMFMF2 and either match or beat a 4090 on any Direct X or Open GL game without rescaling. LOL.
Imagine a dev actually releasing a finished game, rather than a sorta 80%ish finished game which is how the industry has operated for over a decade now. I remember when the game that was released was the final, completely completed and polished product. Why is it so hard for the industry to get back to that state. It's the ONLY industry where the consumer is sold an incomplete product and we scream for more. Imagine buying an unfinished phone, or blender or a car with wheels but the engine is only half assembled, so you can sit in it but not driven it! Its bizarre. They literally serve up shit, and we slurp it up and scream for more, while simultaneously complaining about games being unfinished and often unplayable. It won't stop until we push back! It's astonishing that all the various gov and independent consumer watchdogs say nothing and allow it to continue. It's baffling! I honestly don't know how it's even legal.
I’m using a 2070 Super, got it back in 2019 when my old 7 year old AMD card died, not sure i can justify getting a 50 series just yet. I’ll probably get one in the event my current card snuffs it. There is a problem with the new release date for ACS. It’s the 30 year anniversary of Japan’s worst domestic terrorist attack. Someone didn’t do their research, again.
I would just like to point out that the new release date for Ac Shadows is the 30 year anniversary of the Tokio terrorist attack. It's like Ubisoft is doing it on purpose.
Jingles, look, I get it... but the Yakuza games are FUN. How can I put it in a way you'll understand.... OK, remember how Breath Edge kept turning it's conventions on themselves and getting you to do whacky but fun, silly things instead? Yakuza is that but for JRPGs. Heck, it barely even feels like a JRPG; if I hadn't played so many of them, it would feel more like a modern game with JRPG elements. Look, you get to fight a baboon who has taken control of a digger and a biker gang with a baby fetish. It's GREAT!
On the historical "liberties" with AssCreed Shadows. Apparently Nobunaga (one of if not the most famous Historical Figures in Japan) likes to prove his Creed to mens Ass in game? There would be nothing wrong with that if it were accurate, but it is just fan fiction.
Yes, it matters. Frame Generation will never beat real frames in visual quality. It is a pestilence of the industry and gives devs an excuse to release unoptimized slop.
The cultural consultants really screwed Ubisoft over with Shadows. They need to fire whoever decided to hire them. They should also sue all the consultants for fraud because they're going to need that money back pretty soon.
Ever get the feeling that someone's digging a really big hole that they're gonna struggle to get out of? That's exactly what I suspect is happening with Ubisoft and AC. Time will tell though.
I would rather have a 1080p frame that every one is entirely rasterized and I see exactly what there is, than 4k frame of which half(or more) is what some AI thinks it probably is. Since all that dlss revolution started we're technically being lied to, and it shows. Weird artifacts in dynamic moving lights or reflections. I don't want new "revolutionary" gpu that lies even more. I want revolutionary gpu that is precise and does the job better than previous generations. It feels to me like we pretty much stopped on gtx1080Ti with raw rasterization power and everything after that is a trick, a lie. Ray/path tracing is a welcome addition, no doubt, but without the dlss trick it is so unusable.

If you turn up the graphics to the point where the card is only able to do 60 FPS, but your refresh rate on you monitor can do 180 FPS, the monitor still is going to drop to that 60 FPS. DLSS renders another frame that the driver "thinks" is coming next thus making the game appear to now run at 120 FPS (or in the case of DLSS4 inserts up to 3 other frames). However, your input is still going to work based on the original non-DLSS 60 FPS.
@@csdn4483 And that's why native 60 is usually a soft recommendation, input lag isn't a thing really if you can mostly get to 60 but the picture will be a lot smoother.
@@TheLazyFinn not the point again. if you have a monitor that is capable of a higher refresh rate (140+ Hz is pretty common now), but if your video card/cpu is only going to pull 60 FPS natively with DLSS4 you can get the effective FPS to "appear" to be 120+ FPS (potentially up to 240 FPS). *HOWEVER* the game will only react to your inputs at 60 FPS, so those 3 additional frames do not react to your input until the next true frame.
Before you go, people can't see above 60 FPS or 60 FPS+ doesn't matter, you're wrong as it's very noticeable and there have been studies where they have shown some exceptional people can see 200+ FPS while most people can see between 120 FPS and 140 FPS.
@ Doesn't that mean pretty much what I said? AFAIK if you have sub native 60 you will start to see horrible input lag too and other problems using FG
I honestly don't think the Japanese care about Yasuke being called a Samurai. After all, he's the Main Character in Afro Samurai, a classic anime. I do think that Ubisoft should take more care with historical settings, and not being bluntly racist by changing Japanese culture and architecture for Chinese. I bet though that the idea is that they can get better sales by pandering to the Chinese market...
Oh that is 1000% why.
Oh they absolutely care about him being called a samurai in this context. Afro Samurai never claimed to be historically accurate whilst AC:Shadows does.
@@aristocraticcthulhu3831 this
I'm Chinese, I've been to Japan four times. The architecture in what I've seen of AC:Shadows doesn't look particularly Chinese to me. China has no tori gates, and the pagoda that features prominently in the marketing materials is distinctly Japanese. I've been to one that looks just like it in Kyoto. Japan was heavily influenced by Chinese architecture, so there's going to be similarities.
I'm not an architecture student or history buff so there's probably some details I missed, but they're more likely to be errors/laziness in Ubisoft's art team (or their subcontractors' art teams) in pulling references rather than any real attempt to pander. The general Chinese gaming public isn't going to be familiar with that level of detail either.

No Thank you, Happy New Year and to the kitties and Rita too!
The one 'Japanese' game that I am desperately excited in 2025 about is 'Showa American Story', though I think the devs are based in China lol. It just looks amazing and is a love story to Japanese Americana and is a bizarre fusion of both. Its full of awesome pop culture references and just looks like damn good fun. I hope Jingles at least looks up the game. It's described as a Japanese Zombie Apocalypse in 80s America....what could possibly be better?
Apparently a lot of the information used for Yasuke is based on a book by a guy who's sources may have amounted to "Trust me bro." for the majority of it. Like the guy definitely existed but extremely little is known about what he did outside of a couple sentences. I can't say how truthful that is, because I don't really care that much as I doubt I will ever play the game, even if it is good... I've just never cared to play Assassins Creed games because of how Ubisoft designs/bloats them (outside of the very first one).
There's no evidence that he ever fought any battles or did basically anything of any real note during his career either, maybe that'll work to their advantage, because as long as it's done in such a way that he's doing his normal duties in between assassinations and such, maybe the gameplay will involve redirecting attentions away from his real persona.
I mean they can also take it another direction and make up whatever they want due to the lack of information about him, and make it that records of his deeds were all destroyed or something...
@@NickBingham01I think it’s compounded by the fact that any records were probably burned alongside Nobunaga at Honnonji
There are a whole 2 sentences about him in historical documentation. Needless to say that guys book was 99% "creative interpretation". He lost all his "professor"ships in Japan when they found out what he wrote and did to the wiki. (Noone checked the contents of the English publication of his book which basically amounted to historical fan fiction)
@@tsunami729 That would definitely make sense as to the scarcity of information about the dude.
@@tsunami729 And that the main historian on the subject is not even Japanese and has been essentially making stuff up about Yasuke based on a tiny bit of text somewhere AND has been gaslighting the Japanese in the process. His works translated into Japanese contain different facts and portray them in different ways. His stuff has actually ended up in Japanese schools essentially changing their perspective on history. Japanese are not really happy about him either...
Good morning my fellow salt miners!
Yes it matters. Lag problem and picture quality. You will notice lag problem and it will break immersion even in single player game.
Idk I'll see how bad it is because lets say you have 120 FPS. You'll have the lag of 30 FPS and the quality of 120 FPS. That's my thinking. That or I fucked it up and I don't understand how it works
@@Der_Dekanter I am not sure that I fully understand your explanation. I do not understand, what does it mean lag of 30 Frames Per Seconds. Only time unit is 1 second. I do not like fakery from NVIDIA, but it will not be so bad as lag 1 s :)
I will wrote, how I understand, it will work.
Lets mark real frames (pictures) as G - generated.
Lets mark frames generated by "AI" (it is not, but AI has no meaning any more :)) F - fake.
Sequence of frames: G -> F -> F -> F -> G -> F -> F...
I think there will be permanent lag 4 frames, when card shows frames 1 cycle back (cycle is: G -> F -> F -> F). Card will shows fake frames, after they will have new G frame.
When you have 30 frames per second, it is frame every 30 ms (this is on lower limit or under , what could brain think as 'smooth').
Now some players notice, that game is not smooth, when it do not have 100 frames.
When you have 100 frames per second - frame every 10 ms. It is not total equivalent, but if some1 notice (not me), that something is wrong in frequency 10 ms, lag 30 ms could be noticeable.
Also quality 120 FPS is not possible. It is still only approximation. Ghosting and another issues will be visible, when you are faking 75% of frames. Also I am afraid of smoothness of fake frames. How it will look like, when it will not be linear interpolation (teleports in games, or just corners - you are not moving in strait line, acceleration, deceleration). But for this, I will need time to test it by myself.
Next issues game developers are people and people are lazy. So optimization of games will be even worse and we will have to catch up with this fake frames.
@@Der_Dekanter Yes, exactly. The framecounter will say 120fps but it will still only have the responsiveness of 30fps. This means this will create around 25ms of input lag, which will be very noticable because itl spike up and down and with every real/fake frame transition.
Graphics running 120FPS, physics and input running 30FPS. A sense of pride and accomplishment every time the GPU manages to not have a silicon fart on fake frames #2 and #3.
Going to be really interesting to see the comments if it looks good on youtube but feels like your playing in syrup from all the stuff being out of sync.

The 50 series of cards get released and I'm playing Cyberpunk on my 980ti. XD
All settings are on medium and the game looks/runs great.
24:30 Important part of that is that it remains tradable forever, and wont become tied to your account if you wear it, like it might in some games. You can sell it for about the same price if you'd like. You could say it's better value than buying a new car, a new car will lose a huge chunk of its value in just few years, the hat's value will most likely keep going up because you cant get them anymore.
Isn't March 20 the 30th anniversary of The Tokyo Subway Sarin Attack ?
Its bizarre they choose that date for the first Japanese Assassin Creed???

Indeed it is. Feels like they are combining malice and stupidity.
yes, that is hilarious if just a coincidence. if not… lol
Why yes, it is.

Paul the guy in question didn't got the gold in wow from tokens. there is a limit on the number of tokens an account can purchase per week. As such the person that got the item for that amount of gold would have to be buying and selling wow tokens for multiple months before hand. The gold come from 3rd party gold sellers .
The thing I find fascinating about frame gen is that it's not a million miles away from how our eyesight actually works. Our eyes provide information, but the vast majority of what we perceive is our brains, guessing what we should be seeing.
Just saw a street interview with a person from Newcastle and I can't help but wonder how Señor Jingles escaped that silly accent. Up the toon by the way
Love the venga station...especially Resist and Disorder.
I have heard the term "golden parachute" used for executive payout send-offs.
I am quite surprised that Jingles didn't even once comment on the chaos going on in the Cyberpunk game. Like, as he was talking, I was literally thinking "What the fuck is going on?" 🤣
I might as well also shout out the entire Yakuza/Like A Dragon series, they're actually amazing hardboiled Japanese crime drama games. And they can pivot to being extremely silly in side-stories. You should give them a try. The new Like a Dragon Pirates in Hawaii game will definitely be up your alley just from the ship combat, Jingles.
IT DOES MATTER! the main issue is the LATENCY is not the same Daniel Owen explains this very well.
Remember when 980Ti cards were sold at the price of a heavily cut down entry level 50 series GPU? pepperidge farms remember.

Great games too, at least up to SH4, SH5 wasn't much of anything
@@battleship6177 Very wet fart, that one.
Edit: Oh... You said exactly that few seconds afterwards lol
4:36 Yes. You still get the input lag of what you have at your REAL fps level, PLUS you get +1 frame of input lag because the gpu has to have a frame in an extra buffer, so that it can generate frames between the newest and 2nd newest frames. So you do not get less input lag, it might just look smoother, but it will literally make you play worse because of the added input lag.
Oh... maybe I should have watched a few seconds longer lol
a small correction, all RTX card include RTX20 will support DLSS4 upscaling ( there is a new DLSS more advance upscaling in DLSS 4) but they will not support the multi frame generation of DLSS, that is for the RTX50 only.
its the same as DLSS 3.5 work today, u can DLSS 3.5 upscaling and ray reconstruction on RTX20 but not frame gen.

Good morning Gnome Overlord. All the best.
I would say most of the people working at Ubisoft will jump ship before it goes down
Hey jiggles,do you play on tormenting yourself again by possibly playing either of Dredge's dlcs?
You can´t tell me outstanding performance is doing your job 25% of the time you´re supposed to. That´s exactly what frame generation is. That´s like a four clinder engine firing one cylinder every four rotations of the engine.
The truth would be "You can get 4090 framerates for half the price", you can´t get the quality.
The minute the ubisofy ceo was quoted as mentioning stakeholders i thought oh they are figuring out how to stuff more microtranactions in huh
Ghost Recon Wildlands is a good example of it. With Modder making it 1st person aswell it worked well. Ubisoft deserve what they get
An additional month of crunch then?
Speaking of Assassins Creed shadows, according to some comments iv seen under videos talking about this. Apparently the 20th of March is also the date of a Terrorist attack in Japan from Years ago. More specifically a Sarin Gas Bombing of a Subway. I didn't know about this ether but.... your telling me NO ONE at Ubisoft didn't do a quick GOOGLE search?
Id imagine though, AC Shadows is probably going to be about what you expect from AC these days. IE something like Odessey.
The Pirate Yakuza game is Skull and Bones if not done by Ubisoft.
and I was wondering all this time, what had become of Ritinha.😂
greetings Jingles, hope your week is going well. Will you play grand theft auto 6 when it comes out this fall?
What video did he talk about wow?
Was waiting for your video 😅
Good Morning.
I've put about 80hrs into Cyberpunk and 80hrs into Valhalla. I could probably name every character I met in cyberpunk and probably most the side characters. Valhalla I think I can just about remember the main characters name.
I know folks value different things in games but for me story is king. I can overlook a fair amount of shortcomings if the story grips me.
With Ubisoft they've completely lost the ability to write a good story or write believable characters with depth.
i miss the vids of you and Eddie.
i know losing a very good friend is hard
just saying hi
happy new year

TF2 is well known for the absurd prices given to their items. For example, there's a type of melee weapon that's notorious for being sold for high prices. A frying pan. What's so special about it? It's gold (Actually "Australium" a fictional super material), and when you kill someone with it they turn into a gold statue. Sure, that does make it more that just a bunch of cosmetic pixels, but it's still ridiculous
Now I don't feel so bad about having a few premiums in World of Tanks!
Not even a real hat. It's a pixel hat.😂

You said there are no winners, but that's only in the short term. Ubisoft going down for this would be a good example to other the other AAA morons making slop. Long term they might learn something, or someone who knows what they're doing can at least buy the IP from the sinking ships
Morning Jingles.
I think I have watched this channel since 2013
The top graphics cards are for people who can write them off as tax expenses. The $2k price only makes sense that way. Shadows will be released, certain youtubers will w**k themselves dry over it, due to the brown envelope having landed. Then people will move on and forget about it. Much like Starfield. If Ubisoft survives is another question though. Only time will tell.
Idk how anyone is surprised at that 40k hat in TF2. Valve's games have been for a long time FOMO microtransaction vehicles first, games second.
AMD's Frame Generation Latency was fixed a year ago. NVidia can't catch up and what they have they lock it to the latest GPUs to sell more. Even Raw rasterization, in some slightly older games, a 7900XTX is within 5% of a 4090's raster performance at half the price, plus I can just click AMFMF2 and either match or beat a 4090 on any Direct X or Open GL game without rescaling. LOL.
Imagine a dev actually releasing a finished game, rather than a sorta 80%ish finished game which is how the industry has operated for over a decade now. I remember when the game that was released was the final, completely completed and polished product. Why is it so hard for the industry to get back to that state. It's the ONLY industry where the consumer is sold an incomplete product and we scream for more. Imagine buying an unfinished phone, or blender or a car with wheels but the engine is only half assembled, so you can sit in it but not driven it! Its bizarre. They literally serve up shit, and we slurp it up and scream for more, while simultaneously complaining about games being unfinished and often unplayable. It won't stop until we push back! It's astonishing that all the various gov and independent consumer watchdogs say nothing and allow it to continue. It's baffling! I honestly don't know how it's even legal.
howdy Jingles, hope you're having a good one
I’m using a 2070 Super, got it back in 2019 when my old 7 year old AMD card died, not sure i can justify getting a 50 series just yet. I’ll probably get one in the event my current card snuffs it.
There is a problem with the new release date for ACS. It’s the 30 year anniversary of Japan’s worst domestic terrorist attack. Someone didn’t do their research, again.
I would just like to point out that the new release date for Ac Shadows is the 30 year anniversary of the Tokio terrorist attack. It's like Ubisoft is doing it on purpose.
Guess what ephemeris occored in Japan in a 20 th of march...
3 months os just long enough to make sure in-game monetization all works and looks pretty.
Jingles, look, I get it... but the Yakuza games are FUN.
How can I put it in a way you'll understand.... OK, remember how Breath Edge kept turning it's conventions on themselves and getting you to do whacky but fun, silly things instead? Yakuza is that but for JRPGs.
Heck, it barely even feels like a JRPG; if I hadn't played so many of them, it would feel more like a modern game with JRPG elements.
Look, you get to fight a baboon who has taken control of a digger and a biker gang with a baby fetish. It's GREAT!
-a rogue-ring, if I remember correctly. Bet the person was on a char, not even being a rogue in the first place
On the historical "liberties" with AssCreed Shadows. Apparently Nobunaga (one of if not the most famous Historical Figures in Japan) likes to prove his Creed to mens Ass in game? There would be nothing wrong with that if it were accurate, but it is just fan fiction.
Spending 550 for a card is still outrageous.
✌️
Yes, it matters. Frame Generation will never beat real frames in visual quality. It is a pestilence of the industry and gives devs an excuse to release unoptimized slop.
Even if the game does well there is still no guarantee there won't be big layoffs waiting for the development team.
The cultural consultants really screwed Ubisoft over with Shadows. They need to fire whoever decided to hire them. They should also sue all the consultants for fraud because they're going to need that money back pretty soon.
Ever get the feeling that someone's digging a really big hole that they're gonna struggle to get out of? That's exactly what I suspect is happening with Ubisoft and AC. Time will tell though.
I would rather have a 1080p frame that every one is entirely rasterized and I see exactly what there is, than 4k frame of which half(or more) is what some AI thinks it probably is. Since all that dlss revolution started we're technically being lied to, and it shows. Weird artifacts in dynamic moving lights or reflections. I don't want new "revolutionary" gpu that lies even more. I want revolutionary gpu that is precise and does the job better than previous generations. It feels to me like we pretty much stopped on gtx1080Ti with raw rasterization power and everything after that is a trick, a lie.
Ray/path tracing is a welcome addition, no doubt, but without the dlss trick it is so unusable.
Morning Jingles its folks
