This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

The official version of "Star Emperor" has been online for a week, and everything is normal.

Just when Chen Ba thought there would be no problems with the official version and was actively preparing to update the new version of the simulator, Xiao Lu discovered traces of "plug-ins".

"Are you sure it's a plug-in?"

"Not sure, but this player is very strange. When he comes up, he turns on 4K resolution and extreme image quality, and then goes to conquer the road to immortality..."

Isn’t this just a graphics card test?

When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "I guess he is some boring UP owner, using our game to test the performance of the graphics card! What kind of plug-in is this?"

"No, no, no, just abnormal behavior is nothing."

Xiao Lu defended: "The key is its configuration. No information can be read, and the performance is very strong. Features such as real-time ray tracing and DLSS are better than the 30 series graphics card!"

Can't read the information?

Chen Ba was also shocked.

What's the situation? What configuration is this guy using? Why can't he read the information? Isn't it really a cheat?

Out of curiosity, Chen Ba called Yang Dong, Zhong Shengwei and others together, and everyone worked together to conduct a round of screening and verification on the player.

"The registered IP is from the United States."

Yang Dong said: "I logged into the game for the first time two days ago and went straight to the road to immortality. The winning rate is very high..."

"What's interesting is that he takes the initiative to activate the ultimate sublimation every time!"

"The ultimate sublimation under the ultimate 4K image quality!" Worried that it would not attract attention, Zhong Shengwei also emphasized the player's resolution and image quality settings.

Now, everyone was really confused.

The unknown computer configuration that cannot be read, the ultimate sublimation of 4K resolution and ultimate image quality, this should not be a normal 3090.

"3090Ti is also hanging."

Chen Ba muttered: "You dare to play like this, and there is no accident during the car rollover. Is it really some new type of plug-in?"

Beyond the actual performance of the 3090Ti, this is not the hardware level that players should have, and there is no such graphics card on the market. And the model number cannot be read, which is the biggest doubt.

"He got the title of Immortal King last night and then went offline."

Xiao Lu retrieved the login record and said: "Until ten o'clock this morning, there was no online during this period."

"Keep an eye on this account."

Chen Ba gave instructions and asked Xiao Lu to keep an eye on the American player to find out whether he was cheating or using an unknown new graphics card.

But it's strange...

Ever since Tianba Studio noticed the player named [AdaLovelace] and monitored him closely, he has never been online again.

Five days later.

Just when Chen Ba wondered whether the player had uninstalled the game "Star Emperor", NVIDIA's GTC 2022 keynote speech arrived as scheduled.

Wearing a black leather jacket and looking energetic due to the rising stock price, Huang appeared in front of the camera and introduced the latest breakthroughs in AI, data science, high-performance computing, graphics, edge computing, networking and autonomous machines to users and the media.

"Today, we will release the third generation RTX architecture-Ada Lovelace!"

As a member of the gaming industry, Chen Ba naturally watched Lao Huang’s keynote speech.

When he saw Lao Huang launching the third-generation RTX architecture, AdaLovelace, named after the mathematician of the same name, he felt it looked familiar.

Not only him, Xiao Lu and others also thought of it.

Blanch!

The mysterious player they had been looking for for a long time turned out to be Lao Huang! No wonder this IP comes from the United States, no wonder the hardware information cannot be read, everything makes sense.

"So... the plug-in we thought was actually Lao Huang's new graphics card that has not yet been released, the mysterious 4090?"

"It seems so." Chen Ba was speechless.

In the picture, Lao Huang did not give in and took the initiative to show the progress of 4090 compared to 3090 and the power of DLSS3.0 technology.

In Lao Huang's words, our DLSS3.0 is amazing. This is what this technology should look like.

There is no basis for what you say.

Lao Huang probably also knows that if he is just bragging, people may not have any feelings, and they will not think that what he said is true.

Then go to the game test!

As a result, the ultimate picture quality under 4K resolution, and the starry sky emperor who turned on the ultimate sublimation instantly appeared on the screen.

At this level, the 3090 can only maintain 60-65 frames, while the new 4090 launched by Lao Huang can actually achieve 82-90 frames!

Not only that, based on the new generation RTX architecture, the game's light and shadow and dark detail textures are obviously much better than the previous generation.

"Wow! This is incredible!"

Lao Huang boasted intoxicatedly, and then introduced how they achieved the technological breakthrough and the leadership of the new generation GPU architecture.

I have to say that Lao Huang does have something.

New technologies and new architectures have indeed made great improvements in gaming, especially in light pursuit, which has been a huge improvement.

You know, the ultimate sublimation of "Star Emperor" under 4K ultimate image quality is not something that ordinary graphics cards can control.

The 4090's average performance of 85 frames exceeded his expectations.

This is 4K ultimate picture quality!

Adjust the resolution to 1080P or 2K, and the image quality does not need to be changed. With the performance of 4090, it should not be a big problem to penetrate the road to immortality.

"It's weird."

"Old Huang actually advertised for us. We didn't give him any money, right?" Yang Dong was curious.

This is Nvidia's new technology keynote speech. On this occasion, "Star Emperor" was chosen as the demo game. Why not choose those 3A masterpieces?

"Is there a possibility that the demonstration effect of "Star Emperor" is better? After all, 3A is the overall gaming experience, and we only pursue the ultimate graphics and special effects."

"Another point!"

Chen Ba gritted his teeth and said: "When other games become popular, Lao Huang drinks soup the most, but if "Star Emperor" becomes popular, guess who will gain the most?"

Not to mention Star King is very suitable for demonstration.

Even if it is not suitable for demonstration, considering the contribution Tianba Studio has made to graphics card manufacturers, it cannot be justified without support.

Although this is a good thing, Lao Huang is so generous and helps promote "Star Emperor" for free during the keynote speech. Logically speaking, Chen Ba has to thank him.

But he couldn't say the word "thank you"!

Tianba Studio worked hard to make a game, but the money was taken away by the graphics card manufacturer, and they had to thank them...

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the classic line between Zhang Mazi and his master in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" about kneeling down to beg for food.

What a coincidence!

Huang Silang is also named Huang!

Thinking of this amazing coincidence, even the two of them had the same last name, Chen Ba couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

By the way...why did he make the game "Star Emperor" in the first place? Wouldn't it be nice to just work on "Household Simulator - University Edition"?

"Brother Ba, sales have increased!"

Chen Ba was still deep in thought, but Xiao Lu on the side noticed that after Huang's keynote speech, the purchase and download volume of "Star Emperor" soared.

To say it's soaring is a bit of an exaggeration.

In fact, it was not selling well before. After Lao Huang helped launch a global advertisement, sales suddenly doubled several times.
