goddamn thats like higher than far cry 2 and crysis.

get core i7 up and running g for that purpose :p

for me the requriment sound al right since both

X360 and PS3

have multicore

X360 has Triple core

while PS3 has six cells i belive ?

My PC's the 'recommended' system, except with just 2 GB of RAM on Vista and a 8800 GT.

But geez. Can someone say poor optimization... if the quality of graphics is anything to go by in previous GTA games. :/

Well the game is optimized for consoles already. The Xbox 360 runs 3 cores all dual threaded, and the PS3 runs 7 threads on one core. Both systems have advanced GPU's, and the 360's GPU utilizes DX10 API's. Dunno what you'd expect.

I suppose they could dumb the game down some, but why would they want to do that. All of a sudden Lucas Art's logic for not wanting to produce PC games is brought into physical perspective.

They don't have to dumb the entire game down, but rather offer some scaled back path for older hardware. I'm ready to play the game with those requirements, but wouldn't it be nice to let other PC gamers play the game at GTA3/VC/SA detail levels?

As for LucasArts. Puh. Other developers would beg to differ.

Both systems have advanced GPU's, and the 360's GPU utilizes DX10 API's. Dunno what you'd expect.

-Spenser

The PS3's RSX GPU is based on the GeForce 7800 having a bandwidth of 23 GB/s and doesn't utilise DX10 at all. That's hardly advanced. In case of the XBox360, the Xenos is a precursor to the Radeon R600 series. The minimum requirements itself are too high considering the GTA IV experience on the two consoles was OK.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
