So interesting to hear an opinion from someone who actually worked in the belly of the beast

Player3Podcast2664d ago

I enjoyed the customers, I could've done without the continual corporate changes.

TheCommentator2663d ago

15 years working for them, and I couldn't agree more. My customers all hated being at the store when my DM came around and they all saw how much LESS customer oriented I was when I followed Gamestop's rules. The irony is that I was always a top 25% store until they made us more "customer oriented", then people just felt pressured into sales and services while the employees were under constant threat of job loss for underperformance. No one was happy at that point.

Player3Podcast2663d ago

@TheCommentator I worked there during the 10%/20% guarantee, saw people get fired for missing that value message on calls only to have them go back on it two weeks later. It was ridiculous.

Jared8Randall2663d ago

It sounds like Gamestop is led by people who don't buy games. They just don't know what it's like to walk in there to buy a game or system that they want. It sucks because if you love gaming and need a job, then you want to work at GS, but the people managing you just don't know what's up.

Player3Podcast2662d ago

Absolutely! It's really sad, too.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky1d 17h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu1d 17h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv722d ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo1d 16h ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

Eonjay1d 2h ago

Yes it would increase the framerate but it would add more noticeable latency. The impact of latency goes down the more natural frames produced. So a monitor that can push bast 60 will naturally allow the game to operate much smoother. Add VRR to this and now you have a much more enjoyable experience.

BlackDoomAx1d 18h ago

Can it deliver the 60fps dream?

purple1011d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

no, it delivers approx 80fps.

which is why I say why not target 60fps with this new tech and use the upscaling pssr, (Sonys version of Nvidia's DLSS, that seems so popular in the pc realm)

then we have best of both, better believe ps5pro will be doing all the above.

andy851d 17h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

anast1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

120 is a bit slow. My eyes can't look at anything less than 260fps.
