What the flying fuck. I switched the HDD. Installed FERROX, installed all games back, installed all DLCs. Logged on PSN, resigned all saves. Everything is pristine again so i went up to rebuild database cause it was like a shittom of games to transfer. Then the ps3 says the HDD is corrupted, what the fuck. Did the ps3 just ate the HDD like, is formatting the only option?
If the games aren't showing up or playable you are screwed here. I had a similar problem like in 2012 where the power went out while installing a game. The ps3 told me the same thing and games showed up with white blank icons. Formatting was the only solution.
Best thing I can tell you is try to backup your games/save files to an external drive before formatting the HDD. A corrupted database means formatting. If you switched HDDs thats probably the reason why you can't recover properly.
I keep consoles with hard drives connected to a UPS for this very reason. I consider the purchase of a UPS to be like getting insurance for your consoles.
Damn. Well my best bet now is recovering the backups that i did with recuva. Sorting what games i lost and re-downloading them again. Since DLCs and other PKGs i still have the backup. My estimates are at least 200-300 gigs of lost data.
Yeah I have one now especially for my pc. If anything most of my ps4/ps3 games are stored on an external hdd. Not that it's any safer but at least I have a better chance to recover them.
there's a four byte db.err file that flags the system for a rebuilding of the database: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Recovery_Menu#4._Rebuild_Database
I've had so many problems with my PS3's internal hdd... Now, I'm makeing clones of the internal hdd almost everytime after a successful file system check.
Btw. what size is your internal drive now? I has a 1.5TB drive installed at first, and whenever the PS3 wanted to do a filesystem check, it prompted me to reformat (even with a freshly formatted drive).
Luckily, (iirc) I've never had a corrupt database that led to a mandatory formatting...

the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now

I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)

So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.

they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding+1

AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that

least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling

i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling

@The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
