Given the circumstances, let’s make do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Dong rolled his eyes and said, \"It’s snowing outside, even the delivery guys are taking a break, where do you expect me to get fresh vegetables from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba turned to look out the window, and indeed saw that the snow today was heavy, the entire food plaza was a blanket of white, obscuring everything from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this weather, having hotpot is already a blessing, can’t ask for much more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The studio’s on holiday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affected by the bad weather and with Spring Festival approaching, the other employees are working from home, Xianyu Digital also halted express deliveries, leaving only the trio in the studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s the GAL League going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up a piece of beef Lu just put in the pot, completely ignoring Lu’s resentful gaze, Chen Ba asked Yang Dong, \"Is AMD still the biggest hope for the championship this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down his chopsticks, Yang Dong handed each person a bottle of drink and said, \"AMD is old news, NVIDIA leads the GAL points this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can pop the champagne early!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the few matches in spring and summer don’t mess up, a big congrats to Old Huang for triumphing in the GAL League, winning the back-to-back championship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right, back-to-back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>AMD won the first edition, NVIDIA the second, and this year’s matches aren’t over yet, but according to the points standings prediction, it’s likely Old Huang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this about to establish a dynasty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Old Huang is close to a back-to-back, Chen Ba was surprised, he didn’t expect AMD to fall behind so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed AMD’s earlier lead wouldn’t last long and NVIDIA might catch up, but didn’t think they’d catch up this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, is their technical strength that strong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One championship can be considered luck, but with a back-to-back looming, it’s hard to deny, NVIDIA has some unique edge in tuning consumer PC graphics cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Huang squeezed toothpaste over the past five years, probably not as much as the past two years. The game ’Star Emperor’ is a huge stimulus to the graphics card industry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu shared a bunch of data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the data, after ’Star Emperor’ was released, the tech iteration speed of major graphics card vendors increased by noticeably double compared to previous years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, although still squeezing toothpaste, the toothpaste capacity squeezed in these past two years is stronger year by year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the N card for example, the 50 series is appealing, the 5070 is even hailed as another ’divine card’ following the 1060.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the 50 series isn’t much...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Huang indicated they would continue pushing past limits in the 60 series, won’t stop until goals are achieved, this time the 60 series must conquer ’Star Emperor’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even announced, if the 6060 card can’t handle 1080P ’Star Emperor’ Extreme Sublimation + Other-Transformation Freedom Technique, he’d swim around the Pacific Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harsh words from Old Huang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, naturally, players know the 60 series moves seem bigger than the 50 series, this time, Old Huang is serious to defend the graphics card vendors’ honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is undoubtedly good news for players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one likes squeezing toothpaste, with the same price, the more packed it is, the keener everyone is to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba is actually quite pleased too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Game developers, actually welcome seeing hardware vendors push tech iteration, because with new tech, they can develop stunning masterpieces freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 50 series used 3nm process already, how can the 60 series further improve on this basis? It’s perplexing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite the perplexity, Chen Ba could roughly guess, Old Huang’s enhancement this time is mostly about driver or core architecture improvements, unlikely to be process upgrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GAL League’s biggest contribution, has been accelerating the obsolescence update speed of the PC hardware platform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Dong took a bite of vegetables, pondering aloud, \"Now PC gaming players, especially single-player ones, have top-notch hardware configurations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Means many ideas that could only stay as PPT presentations before, now have potential to become actual products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dream Building Engine 6th-generation is about to be released, Ba, should we integrate it ASAP and develop a new game for it?\" Lu asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ba shook his head, expressing little interest in the so-called Dream Building 6th-generation engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, there was no choice, and the Dream Building Engine was technically mature and inclusive, so they used it for game development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Chen Ba had an immature idea, which is to develop a dedicated game engine for Tianba Studio, for the upcoming new game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu and Yang Dong were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dedicated game engine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This term isn’t fresh, the gaming industry already has many game engines, all serving singular or multiple games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba’s idea isn’t odd, in the industry, it’s quite a normal thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock for Lu and Yang Dong primarily came from the fact that creating a dedicated engine for a game typically belongs to AAA titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Games like ’Crysis’, the ’Battlefield’ series, the ’Elder Scrolls’ series, etc., famed AAA titles, have such honor.\u003C\u002Fp>",891,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","99b16528053896dae485647373954e1fdefe52daa4d55940311ec94ba823f4d7","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-259","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-257",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
