This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 224 - 158: Does 4090 Sound Better Than 4060?
The discussion on the new game continued until after work hours.
In the end, not much content was discussed, mainly because it’s been a while since the game was played, and they’re a bit rusty.
Chen Ba decided to go back to buy some marbles and pull Lu, Zhong Shengwei, and Dong together to figure it out properly...
Time moved to August.
Amidst everyone’s attention, the long-brewing Old Huang finally dropped a bombshell—RTX50 series mobile desktop graphics cards.
"This is super cool!"
In front of the camera, Old Huang repeatedly emphasized how powerful the technology equipped in the 50 series graphics cards is, and how much it surpasses the previous generation products.
But to Chen Ba, who was watching the live broadcast, the biggest change in the 50 series this time is mainly the upgrade of the manufacturing process, jumping to a 3nm process.
Power consumption is controlled well!
However, aside from the new generation of manufacturing processes, the performance improvement of the 50 series of graphics cards is not as far ahead as Old Huang claimed compared to the 40 series.
Let’s say, it’s a bit exaggerated?
Old Huang is still the same Old Huang. Although this time he squeezed a bit more toothpaste, and there is more sincerity than the 40 series, it doesn’t hide the fact that he’s squeezing toothpaste.
Aside from that.
Throughout the press conference, what impressed Chen Ba the most was Old Huang’s superb knife skills.
This cut is too outrageous!
The 5070 upwards, the performance barely matches the price. But the mid-to-low-end sweet spot cards like the much-anticipated 5060, 5050, are not that "sweet."
Sweet spot? Blunder spot!
Unless someone is really foolish, no one would buy the 5060 card after such a cut. It’s either add more money for the 5070 or not buy it at all and keep using the old card for the future.
If any of the family members have a tight budget, they can check out Su’s next door!
This time, Old Huang’s high-end cards do have some sincerity, but it’s only for Fu. For the average gamer, they’ll still curse Old Huang, as this knife skill is just disgusting.
The most eye-catching segment of the release was the real-game demo!
The old habit, go onto "Star Emperor"!
2K is no pressure, 4K is no pressure... Under extreme graphics, the Extreme Sublimation, in Old Huang’s words, only resulted in "this is super cool."
Ah right, right, right!
Chen Ba rolled his eyes wildly. Compared to ordinary netizens, he’s aware of a lot of inside information.
For instance, before the release of the 50 series, to be on the safe side, NVIDIA secretly contacted Tianba Studio, asking them to optimize specifically for the new 50 series of graphics cards.
The benefits are huge!
This is an optimized demo effect. Without optimization, although it can still be played smoothly, the frame rate would definitely not be so high.
With 4K ultra-quality graphics, the Extreme Sublimation on the Path to Immortality runs the game with almost 120 frames at full capacity. This scene directly excited the "Star Emperor" players watching the release.
It’s essential to know that the demo card is not the most top-notch 5090 of the 50 series, nor even the 5080Ti, but just a very ordinary 5080.
In Old Huang’s words, the 5090 was already demoed, so there’s no need to specifically highlight it at the release.
When was it demoed?
Of course at the GAL League! The configuration of NVIDIA’s team battling in the GAL League basically adopted the same process and technology as the 5090.
Of course!
Old Huang’s words are just for fun. The configuration of the GAL League is definitely much higher than the 5090, and he wouldn’t let players have the same configuration as the GAL League.
If really so open-minded, how would he squeeze toothpaste in the future?
But it can be confirmed that the 5090 card is indeed very powerful and does adopt some of the technologies and processes from the GAL League machines.
So, Old Huang is so confident this time, his confidence is really sufficient. At least he feels that suppressing the Path to Immortality is just a piece of cake.
But he could never dream of it.
The day after the 50 series release conference, Tianba Studio released an update announcement about "Star Emperor." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
This is super cool!
Chen Ba unceremoniously borrowed Old Huang’s phrase, indicating that this is a super cool version update, cooler than anyone could imagine.
...
"Super cool version update?"
As an old player of "Star Emperor" and the game’s top live streamer, what kind of version update hasn’t Pan Yang seen?
But an update like this, he indeed hasn’t seen.
What is all this?
"Immortal Emperor title holders can comprehend the supreme skill Other-Transformation Freedom Technique, thereby gaining higher combat power..."
At first glance, there’s nothing special about this.
But as Pan Yang continued reading, especially the conditions for using the Other-Transformation Freedom Technique and the specific effects, he was completely stunned.
Summoning another Immortal Emperor avatar?
What does it mean? In the past, it was a solo fight, but the version update turns it into a group brawl?
Moreover, looking at these usage conditions, directly deducting the current life value, for certain characters whose power increases as their health decreases, this is simply an epic enhancement!
"Forget it, let’s get into the game and see."
Just by reading the update document, Pan Yang couldn’t really understand it.
Mainly, it’s too abstract!
To those aware it’s a version update document, those unaware might think it’s a Chapter from a fantasy and fairy novel!
"Brothers, don’t rush, I’ll enter the game right away to test and see what this Other-Transformation Freedom Technique is..."
Pan Yang is one of the few Immortal Emperors among the "Star Emperor" streamers, and he was among the first batch of veteran Immortal Emperors.
Don’t underestimate this credibility!
The current Immortal Emperors are indeed watered down, not very high in value, and the global number of Immortal Emperors has reached over ten thousand people.
But in the early days of "Star Emperor", when there weren’t as many game players, and even fewer high-end graphics card players, the title of Immortal Emperor carried a significant weight.
