Chapter 158: 4090 sounds better than 4060?
The discussion of the new game continued until the end of the working day.
In the end, we didn't discuss much, mainly because I hadn't played this thing for a long time and I was a little rusty.
Chen Ba decided to go buy some marbles and take Xiao Lu, Zhong Shengwei and Dong Ge to think about it carefully...
The time came to August.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Huang, who had been planning for a long time, finally released a bombshell - the RTX50 series mobile desktop graphics card.
“This is super cool!”
In front of the camera, Huang repeatedly emphasized how powerful the technology equipped in the 50 series graphics cards is and how much ahead of previous generations of products.
However, in the opinion of Chen Ba, who was watching the live broadcast, the biggest change in the 50 series this time is the upgrade of the process technology, which has leaped to 3nm process.
Power consumption is well controlled!
However, apart from the new generation of process technology, the performance improvement of the 50 series graphics cards is not as far ahead of the 40 series as Huang said.
How should I put it? A bit exaggerated? Huang is still Huang. Although he squeezed a little more toothpaste this time, and his sincerity is more than that of the 40 series, it cannot cover up the fact that he is squeezing the toothpaste.
besides.
After watching the entire press conference, what impressed Chen Ba the most was Lao Huang’s superb knife skills.
This is too much! The performance of 5070 and above is barely worth the price. But the 5060 and 5050, the mid-to-low-end sweet-end graphics cards that players are eagerly waiting for, are not so "sweet".
Dessert grade? Unlucky grade! With this cut, unless they are really stupid, no one will buy the 5060 card. They will either spend more money to upgrade to the 5070 or simply not buy it. The old card will continue to fight in the future.
Families with limited budgets can go and have a look at Su Ma next door! Huang's high-end card does have some sincerity this time, but that's only for rich guys. For ordinary gamers, you can still curse Huang as you like, anyway, his knife skills are disgusting.
The most eye-catching part of the press conference is the actual game demonstration!
As usual, let's go to "Star Emperor"! 2K no pressure, 4K no pressure... The ultimate sublimation under the ultimate picture quality, in Huang's mouth, only exchanged for "this is so cool".
Oh, yes, yes!
Chen Ba rolled his eyes wildly. Compared with ordinary netizens, he knew a lot of inside information.
For example, before the release of the 50 series, NVIDIA was probably unsure and secretly contacted Tianba Studio, asking them to optimize the new 50 series graphics cards.
There are huge benefits!
This is a specially optimized demonstration effect. Before optimization, although you can play the game without any pressure, the frame rate will definitely not be so high.
The ultimate 4K image quality and the ultimate sublimation on the road to becoming an immortal, with the game running at nearly 120 frames at full capacity, this scene directly excited the "Star Emperor" players who were watching the press conference.
You should know that the graphics card used for the demonstration is not the top-of-the-line 5090 in the 50 series, nor even the 5080Ti, but just the most ordinary 5080.
In Huang's words, the 5090 has already been demonstrated, so there is no need to mention it specifically at the press conference.
When was the presentation?
Of course it is the GAL League! The graphics card configuration of the NVIDIA team in the GAL League basically adopts the same process and technology as the 5090.
certainly!
Lao Huang's words are just for fun. The configuration of the GAL League is definitely much higher than that of 5090, and he can't let players use the same configuration of GAL.
If it is really so unrestrained, how can we squeeze the toothpaste in the future? However, it is certain that the 5090 card is indeed very powerful, and it does use some of the technology and craftsmanship of the GAL League console.
That’s why Lao Huang was so confident this time, and he had enough confidence. At least he felt that suppressing the immortal road was a piece of cake.
But he never dreamed of it.
Just on the second day after the 50 series launch conference, Tianba Studio released an update announcement about "Star Emperor".
This is super cool!
Chen Ba unceremoniously plagiarized Lao Huang's lines, saying that this was a super cool version update, cooler than anyone thought.
…
“A cool version update?”
As an old player of "Star Emperor" and the top live streamer of the game, what kind of version updates has Pan Yang not seen?
But he had never seen a version update like this one.
What is this? "Those who obtain the title of Immortal Emperor can comprehend the supreme art of transformation and gain a higher combat power..."
At first glance, this is nothing.
But when Pan Yang continued to read on, especially after looking at the conditions for using the Hehua Zizai Fa and its specific effects, he was completely stunned.
Summon other incarnations of the Immortal Emperor?
What does that mean? The previous one-on-one fight has become a group fight after the version update, right?
And looking at the usage conditions, the current health points will be directly deducted. For some characters who become more powerful as their health decreases, this is an epic enhancement!
"Forget it, let's go into the game and take a look."
Just looking at the update document instructions, Pan Yang actually didn’t quite understand it.
The main reason is that it is too abstract! Those who know it think it is a version update description document, while those who don’t know it may think it is the content of a chapter in a fantasy novel! “Don’t worry, brothers, I will test it as soon as I enter the game to see what this other-transformation method is…”
Pan Yang is one of the few Immortal Emperors among the hosts of "Star Emperor", and he is also one of the earliest and veteran Immortal Emperors.
Don’t underestimate its value!
The current Immortal Emperors are indeed very weak and their value is not very high. The number of Immortal Emperors in the world has reached more than 10,000.
But in the early days of "Star Emperor", when there were not so many game players and there were not many players with high-end graphics cards, the title of Immortal Emperor was very valuable.
Let me put it this way.
The new generation of Immortal Emperors all have pretty good battle records and have rarely seen blood.
But who among the veteran Immortal Emperors didn't have blood on their hands? All veteran Immortal Emperors had basically crushed dozens or even hundreds of graphics cards, which was definitely a heavy sin.
There are only a few hundred veteran Immortal Emperors at most, and at most no more than a thousand.
At that time, this title was still very valuable. Whenever people mentioned the path to becoming an immortal, they would always show expressions of fear and horror on their faces.
Who isn’t afraid?
Every player who can make a name for himself on the road to becoming an immortal, or even strive to become an Immortal Emperor, is a ruthless person among the ruthless ones.
The success of a general is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers. To be born, an Immortal Emperor must step on the corpses of at least dozens of graphics cards.
As for the current Immortal Emperor...
Although they have the ability, they are all flowers in a greenhouse and have never seen the truly terrifying side of the path to becoming an immortal.
This is really not Pan Yang being mean.
He would not recognize the Immortal Emperor, who had never seen blood and had never blown up the enemy's graphics card, even if he had the corresponding strength.
But there's nothing I can do.
When reaching the realm of Immortal Emperor, everyone's hardware level is similar. Even if one takes the initiative and sublimates to the extreme, there is no such thing as one person defeating the other.
In this situation, there is naturally no chance to fight to the death and experience the humiliation of having your graphics card blown up by others.
As the first day of the new version update, you need to queue up to log in to the Chinese server of "Star Emperor".
This also surprised Pan Yang. This crappy game required a queue. How many players had joined today? I waited for about 15 minutes.
As the number of people in the queue was reduced to zero, Pan Yang finally entered the game and saw the familiar UI page.
"On the road to becoming an immortal, let's play a game first."
Pan Yang's main purpose of going online this time is to test the new method of transformation and freedom on the road to becoming an immortal.
This updated content can only be used after obtaining the title of Immortal Emperor. It is definitely not possible to use a small account. You must log in to your own main account.
If your main character is an Immortal Emperor, your matched opponents will also be Immortal Emperors. Even if you downgrade to a lower level, you will be matched with Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
Matching opponents at this level is very slow, often taking four or five minutes. Sometimes, such as at two or three in the middle of the night, you may not be matched with an opponent even after half an hour.
The longest one...
If Pan Yang remembered correctly, he once used his main account to fight for the immortal path, and he waited for 78 minutes before he found an opponent of similar strength.
Fortunately, today is the first day of the version update, and the new version has a lot to do with the Immortal Emperor, so there are quite a few Immortal Emperor players online today.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After only waiting for a few dozen seconds, Pan Yang was matched with a suitable opponent.
"OK!"
After entering the game, Pan Yang first typed to discuss with the opponent, asking him not to rush into action, as he wanted to study the newly developed method of transformation.
The other party readily agreed.
This player also wanted to test out his own method, so he discussed with Pan Yang that each of them would try it out once to see the effect.
"You go first!"
Pan Yang felt that he was the anchor and should be more humble, and he also wanted to know what the other-transformation method looked like from the enemy's perspective.
So he let the other party take the first step.
He is free, he is eternal! The player named "Humble Gentleman" was not polite. Since Pan Yang asked him to make the first move, he decisively activated the He is Free method and summoned 7 incarnations of the Immortal Emperor.
"Fuck, it's dropping frames already?"
Pan Yang was a little shocked when he saw the frame rate dropped in the upper right corner of the screen. Although he was not using the top-level 4090Ti, it was still a 4090.
Why is it a bit difficult now? And why did the summoned Immortal Emperor incarnation start to sublimate and bombard him as soon as he saw him? "It wasn't me..."
"The Modest Gentleman" was also stunned. He summoned the incarnation of the Immortal Emperor and thought he was controlling it, but he didn't expect it to act automatically.
This is bad!
There were seven incarnations at the level of Immortal Emperor, and after they reached their highest level of sublimation, they were directly killed by Pan Yang.
Yes, no more...
Seven Immortal Emperors of the same level launched a full-strength attack. Pan Yang was caught off guard and naturally lost all his skills.
But what frightened him even more than this was that just when the seven incarnations of the Immortal Emperor attacked him, he saw that the frame rate of the game in the upper right corner had dropped to 60 frames.
What does it mean? As we all know, the minimum frame rate of the game "Star Emperor" is 60 frames, and it cannot be lower than 60.
Generally speaking, according to different computer configurations, choose the game quality that suits you, the frame rate will usually fluctuate around 70-90 frames, and it is unlikely to be over 60 frames.
As for the frame rate dropping to 60 and not moving, there is only one possibility: the graphics card is a bit overwhelmed...
Watt? Although the game was still running and the second round was about to start, Pan Yang still didn't expect that the 4090 he was using would almost explode the video memory when facing the attack of seven immortal emperor incarnations?
Who would believe this if I told them? Fortunately, the graphics card held up. If it hadn't, and the screen had gone black, the audience in the live broadcast room would have laughed to death, and I would have become the shame of 4090!
"It's my turn, it's my turn!"
The opponent stole a move in the last round, so this time it was Pan Yang's turn to make the first move.
He glanced at the "Transformation into Freedom" button and pressed it. His health was immediately deducted by 10% and an incarnation of the Immortal Emperor was summoned.
The skill has no CD, and it can be pressed! So Pan Yang pressed it several times and directly summoned seven immortal emperor incarnations. At the same time, his health was almost at the bottom.
Just as "Humble Gentleman" said, once these Immortal Emperor incarnations are summoned, they will actively attack enemy targets and are not under the control of the players at all.
Therefore, the "modest gentleman" also fell.
1:1, the deciding game!
The previous person has tested it once, so there is no need to be polite in this decisive round. According to the "modest gentleman", let's just use the method of transformation together to see who can summon the more powerful incarnation of the Immortal Emperor.
They didn't fight each other.
Just watch the battle between the incarnations of the Immortal Emperor, this way it would be fair.
At the same time, in order to avoid being killed by the aftermath of the battle, they summoned up to five incarnations of the Immortal Emperor to retain as much blood as possible.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Pan Yang agreed to this plan, so the two of them clicked "ready", stood still, and started to pull each other's population.
In the blink of an eye, in addition to Pan Yang and "Humble Gentleman", 10 other Immortal Emperors appeared on the screen.
"The ultimate sublimation!"
These incarnations of the Immortal Emperor, controlled by computer AI, were sublimated to the utmost as soon as they came up, and then a melee broke out.
“What the hell! What the hell!”
From the moment the ten Immortal Emperor incarnations appeared to the moment they started to ascend to the ultimate level and engaged in a melee, Pan Yang heard a terrifying howling sound.
The sound comes from the chassis...
It goes without saying that this is definitely the sound made by the graphics card being fully loaded and unable to bear the heavy load.
But he is using 4090! Brother Ba, what are you doing? Look at what you have updated. My buddy’s 4090 can’t handle it. Isn’t this too scary? The barrage also exclaimed.
No one had ever seen such a bloody battle between Immortal Emperors. They thought that at the level of Immortal Emperor, the howling of graphics cards should not be a problem.
But who could have thought that an inconspicuous version update would allow them to hear the howling sound from 4090?
This is so rare!
Seriously, 99 out of 100 people have never heard the howling of 4090. After all, graphics cards of this level rarely encounter such high voltage situations.
"You know what, the whistling sound of this 4090 is better than that of my 4060. No wonder it's so expensive..."
The appearance of a barrage of comments immediately broke Pan Yang's defense.
Is there something wrong with your focus? Is this a question of whether the sound is pleasant? Is this a question of whether my graphics card will be blown up? And...
My buddy spent so much money to buy it home, not because of its nice voice! Even if it sounds nice, it is not worth ten thousand yuan! 4090, cheer up! The battle between ten Immortal Emperors was still too noisy. Pan Yang thought his computer could withstand it.
But it turned out that it couldn't hold up.
It only lasted 1 minute and 27 seconds. Before the battle between the ten Immortal Emperors was decided, he found that the screen was stuck and the mouse and keyboard were unresponsive.
He was familiar with this scene...
