  • Temporal AA doesn’t look good compared to what?

    Compared to some older AA tech. TAA is awful in motion in games. edit: by default. if there’s a config file it can be made better edit2: sometimes no AA is clean as fuck, depends on the game and resolution

    What do you mean “real resolution goes down”? Down from where?

    I mean internal resolution. Playing at 1080p with DLSS means the game doesn’t render at your specified resolution, but a fraction of it. Native (for now) is the best looking.

    What is “image quality” in your view?

    Mostly general clarity and stuff like particle effects, textures, stuff like that I think. You can ask those people directly, you know. I’m just the messenger, I barely play modern games.

    I don’t know … a lot of the terms you’re using are supposed to mean

    Yeah, that’s a problem. More people should be aware of the graphical effects in games. Thankfully some games now implement previews for damn near every quality toggle.




  • everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist,

    That’s stuff’s on buttons in many, many cars.

    back up cams are all either unnecessary

    They really aren’t. With thicker pillars (for better safety, but also sometimes for design purposes) the more cameras you have - the better.

    You can still buy incredibly simple cars, just look at PSA, Dacia/Renault basic models or Fiats that have been in production for years. Hell, Mitsubishi ASX turns 15 and all they did was stick a big screen for a radio. Suzuki S-cross imo is the sweet spot, a small screen for 2 functions (radio/phone audio, camera) and physical controls for the rest.

    Or just don’t buy new cars. I think you’d like VW Up, big selling point of it was the lack of a navigation system because they get outdated so quickly, so instead there’s just a nav holder.



  • Oh, there have been attempts. Joystick controls, for example, in Mercedes concepts (F 200, SL R129 Concept, Vario Research car), or in actual farming vehicles. Recently, several automakers tried yokes. For now wheel is the cheapest (and simplest) way to make a car steer, we’ll see some funky shapes probably.

    edit: also if steer-by-wire takes off, I imagine physical steering linkage would still be required. In that case it wouldn’t save money.
