I was planning to buy EZFA ($120, wasn't cheap back then since I couldn't even drive) and stumbled on the site looking for guides. I regret the purchase but not finding this site.

went away after I lost interest in DS, came back for 3DS and PC games.

If I remember right I wound up here via Google search quite a few times in 2008/09. I registered in '10 for reasons I don't know about because I never posted, I only recently started becoming an active member. But I never want to leave here.

Back when I had first gotten a CycloDS, I had no idea what I was doing with it. I had been asking questions and getting info on the official Team Cyclops forums, and it was working out alright, but it wasn't sufficient for asking about other flashcarts and whether or not I made the right purchase. Plus the community tended to be populated with elitist assholes.
While Googling my question, it's no surprise that I came to GBAtemp on the first page. I got my answers and much more, along with a handy selection of cheat files for certain game fixes, so I decided to bookmark the site.

I had been lurking for a while before joining, but I finally made an account when HeartGold and SoulSilver were released. I created the account to ask about the games, and the various translations already created (making my first post in Raqib12's translation thread). Been a happy and frequently active member ever since.

Yes, I am one of the dreaded PokeNoobs.

So many newbies here, see I wanted to come up with something other than "browsing the net for ds homebrew" which is the truth.

So my make believe story is I was browsing round the net for some hardcore porn as you do, suddenly the alarm went off and a pidgin flew into my windows it was in this moment of horny disbelief that i suddenly felt hungry so made myself a sandwich. When I finished my sandwich i went to play on my r4 but it was broke so searched for some more porn but I accidentally typed in the wrong web address and came here (no pun intended)

Was on a very long gone NDS roms site and I was a regular shoutboxer, then I asked something and Luke_c directed me here, after a few months of lurking, using the guides ect I finally made an account and now I'm the most important temper on this site ............ I joke

I was googling for ROM sites and I ended up here because of the database. Took me some time to realize it wasn't, but after I found that out I was like: "Huh, looks like this site has useful stuff, even though it has no ROMs." Lurked for a long time after that (I don't even remember how long) until I finally made an account.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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 @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
