    PNG Image Format Gets Native Animation and HDR in Version 3.0

    That's a pretty intricate comparison across various options. The AVIF/WebP did pretty nicely on speed/compression comparatively speaking and were mostly neck and neck to some degree. Not sure what happened on Image 4 on speed kind of looks like a possible system hiccup, but depends on how you...

    What are you playing?

    Guides are fine some of the time, but isn't necessary all of the time as well. You can learn quite a bit from good guides though and some of it might carry over to other games entirely when it's just good general advice to keep in mind.

    Colorful Debuts iGame Duo SSD: GPU with Two M.2 Drives

    Yeah depends on MB really for both companies, but I think AMD has some added flexibility with PCIE and lanes overall because they support a few more of them. I believe ROG STRIX Z790-H GAMING WIFI is x8/x8 on the PCIE 5.0 slot in the bios. I think their Intel Z790 WS Pro Art board may have been...

    Colorful Debuts iGame Duo SSD: GPU with Two M.2 Drives

    Pretty nice and gen 5 presumably theoretically it could host four Gen 4 M.2 in terms of the bandwidth. I'm not sure if it works on the bifurcation though on all, but small handful of MB's a few do x8/x8 like my MB, but a lot less are doing x4/x4/x4/x4 at some point I wouldn't be shocked someone...

    This Week in Gaming (Week 28)

    From what I saw of videos for THPS 1 they kept it true to form with the N64 version well enough on the revamp.

    What Windows is overall the best to you and why?

    I liked XP64 most, but obviously isn't good current day connected to the internet. As far as Vista to Windows 11 it's largely similar with quirks between them and Windows 11 is just most recent and most on top of security for this era with support on the others dropped on the way out the door...

    What would you buy?

    As the poll goes probably RX 9060 XT 16GB or ARC B580 2GB. Very interested in the Arc B60 Dual 48GB though from a tinkering standpoint it looks really fun.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Trails RTX 4060 but Leaps Ahead with Multi-Frame Generation

    The MFG is pretty solid overall wish they weren't wasting so many PCIE 5.0 lanes though on such a weaker entry level GPU however and not at least trying to get some usage out of them. They could easily insert some M.2's, USB 4, or like 10G perhaps with some of the dormant PCIE slot lane...

    PNG Image Format Gets Native Animation and HDR in Version 3.0

    Had some example comparisons, but apparently AVIF uploads don't work on forums atm. On the AV1 and codec yeah hopefully, but for now it still needs to gain a better footing as a standard like even MS Paint doesn't allow AVIF export yet though it can import AVIF images fine and pretty common...

    PNG Image Format Gets Native Animation and HDR in Version 3.0

    I was getting at it's only 4KB difference the HDR over the previous standard PNG was which just fine. Yes PNG is larger file size than JPG, but that's been the case all along. I'd use AVIF now over JPG anyway. One of AVIF's biggest negatives right now is just software support is more limited for...

    Crucial T710 2 TB

    Gen 5 just isn't worth it yet for the average consumer given the temperature, power, and relative performance difference between it and Gen 4 that doesn't have the same temperature and power issues while being overall more affordable by no small amount. It feels like they've focused too heavily...

    Gamers Reject RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB — Outsold 16:1 by 16 GB Model

    A bit of a paper feature right now. It might be good in due time, but anyone that might need more than 8GB today rather than down the road would be naive to get the 8GB version. I'd have to see more working examples of it in action before I consider it a must have legitimate feature to base my...

    PNG Image Format Gets Native Animation and HDR in Version 3.0

    Seems you're right and supports both. I think I ended up using lossy for my script purposes with testing. I may have tried the other option and didn't like the file size results, but not sure. I'd have to revisit the script. I think the lossy option is still good if you don't get carried away on...
