that's one shabby review, I think the m3 lite should work very similarly to the past m3's though....unless the m3 team felt pressured to rush this one and develop some faults through out, but they usually have great products in general (m3s and g6s). I'm sure with the mass distribution a full review with real compatibility/speed testings will be out soon.

I guess its £4 more for the Sandisk 1GB. I hope selling my M3 CF covers this.

COMMERCIAL GAMES

Ultimate Spiderman
- works fine as far as i can see

Animal Crossing: Wild World (In and out of doors with +pad)
- bit of slowdown at the menu i think but dpad controls are smooth enough

Tony Hawk: Playground (Music/Sounds (speech during intro) and slowdowns)
- havn't tried this one yet, don't like the game but i'll doa test soon

Castlevania (Intro)
- no slowdowns for the intro with my kingston 1GB microsd but almost unwatchable with my sandisk, when playing intro on my sandisk its as if i'm watching a slideshow of pics

Metroid Prime: Hunters (MP with 4 players shooting)
- havn't had the chance to do this one either

I've used it with both a 1gb sandisk brought from bambogaming and a 1gb kingston from hk, right now the kingston seems like a better choice since there is little to no slowdowns.

---------------


his castlevania comments are somewhat worrying. I've just received my Sandisk 1gb Ultra II in the post this morning, and yet to decide on the SC or M3Lite versions....but going by this worrying comment about both castlevania and Animal crossing, first impressions are that the SC may be the better option for now. At least until get some proper comparative judgement against the SC and M3, and results with ultra and normal speed cards

His Sandisk is a regular one, yours is an Ultra II, I believe you will see better performance, it would be interesting to see a comparison between the regular Sandisk and the Ultra II

yes it definately would.


the worrying thing is that on the SC Lite the regular sandisk performed nearly perfect based with a 9/10 based on the well detailed FifthE1ement review of the SC Lite and the ultra II a 10/10.....which makes it worrying if the SCLite can use the regular card with only a minor speedloss, compared to "the slideshow" of castlevania.

Just have to wait and see now till someone clued up gets their greasy mits with all cards in the damn machine now

wow.. i'm gettin a lil worried now =P
well, i have a normal 1gb sandisk microsd so i'll be able to give a second opinion once it's arrived and hopefully confirm things....

is sandisk the only maker with 1gb cards though? i know kingston only makes up to 512mb atm yeh?

but yeh, first thing i do will be is to try out castlevania and ff3 intros once i get it... =)

people's beef against divineo is regarding their other country based sites which get shipments (small amounts of it) a week or more later..

Divineo China's site always gets new flashcarts first

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol
  • 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
