We said our GTX 1080 delivers an “irresponsible amount of performance.” It was a bit reckless. But this is even more reckless. So forget words. Here are its numbers: • 11 TFLOPS FP32 • 44 TOPS INT8 (new deep learning inferencing instruction) • 12B transistors • 3,584 CUDA cores at 1.53GHz (vers... -

by Shawn ZipayMake up your own definition of "complete."
Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?
