I think so, although that's obviously just my opinion - I like the bigger scenes and bigger cast in games like SG. I think it makes things more realistic and makes the characters seem to play a bigger part in the MC's experiences, etc. as the narrative progresses.
I know why he needs this, 3D editors are very demanding on GPU memory, 2x Ada will give him 96 GB of memory.
With his level of visuals in the game, without them he will not be able to realize what he wants.

Just my five cents. It's up to Ocean to decide, of course, but are these scenes with a couple dozen characters worth the colossal money spent on Ada? Plus the bonus to rendering time, which is not worth the expense, is only a quarter faster. In addition, one developer was able to create a party with several dozen characters in the frame using a 2xRTX3090. The visuals are certainly worse there, but the visual perfectionism of Ocean is a serious disadvantage.
Have you seen the new Nami previews? I love being disadvantaged this way :p
After all, the dude didn't buy some stupid sportbike or upgrade his car or spent it on coke and hookers. No sir, he invested in the means of production! :KEK:

She's totally dope!
But Ocean must be damn confident the game will be a success if he's making that kind of investment up front.
Beyond the confidence in the success, it has to do with the fact that he found a way to finance and tax-deduct the expense without the need for extras or waiting for bureaucratic paperwork.

I have to add - because I'm OCD when Ocean gives us stats like render time decrease:

~24% decrease in render time And the ability to have the hardware working on two revs at the same time.

Yes - it will take time for that to show up in the # of releases we get over a unit of time; perhaps we get 3 releases over the next 12-month period following the Steam release but I'm in this for the long haul and these kinds of improvements are a Thing of Beauty!

Cheers!! :coffee:

I also don't like to use her ponytail all the time, so I've begun to experiment with new hairstyles.

The look the Cheeto gives you while you try to explain, why taking a bath together is a bad idea before she dismisses everything you just said with a funky "Yo!"

Nami got new body?
They are all shapeshifters. That's gonna be the big reveal at the end of season 3. No other way you can explain the monumental lack of consistency of SG when it comes to body shape and dimensions. They literally change from render to render :LOL:

I'll drop a spoiler here.
