As a side-note, the X-Box series S was the cheapest and most effective way for me to buy a 4K-UHD blu-ray player.

I did try to do some CUDA based AI rendering stuff on my 2080S but 8GB didn't seem to be enough.

Its weird to comprehend the 'stretching' of technology advance over time as I age, especially on the value side. There hasn't ever been the same 'feel' for me from the first leap of moving from software rendered Quake to a 3D-card - despite the various advances since, although I remember bump-mapping as another massive leap.

It's totally unfair in some ways. As an example the control you have over lighting a scene (either in a game or something you're rendering) is way beyond what multi-million dollar studios were using in my younger years.

What happens to society/reality when technology capable of producing video content indistinguishable from reality is affordable to many? Its already happening. Its going to become more commonplace.

The problem of 'truth' becomes massive - is the thing presented to you something that actually happened or was it fabricated?

I assume you mean the Xbox One S, because the Series S doesn't have a disc drive.

Correct. My mistake.

Thanks for catching it. Unfortunately I missed the edit window for the post.

It does show you how poor naming conventions can screw you over. Then again naming things is one of the two* hardest problems in computing.
