    Nicolas Guerin (From Ubisoft) is not in touch with reality.

    They should have emailed AMD and ask for help using this "last gen tech", but perhaps it was too "next gen" for these "next gen consoles" - skip to 6:48. Quite said no one used it until now, tens of thousands of AI accelerated on the GPU would be great, especially in open world games.

    Good example of 30fps vs. 60fps

    Actually the easiest test is to get MSI Afterburner or any other program out there that can limit the FPS at a desired value. Then you play a game at a locked 30FPS for 15-20 minutes and afterwards you switch to 60FPS and go event beyond if the monitor can manage 60hz+. That's the ideal...

    Unreal Engine 4 on PlayStation 4

    We'll have to wait and see how much of an improvement future games are going to bring into the console world. But, if "The Samaratin ran at 1920x1080 30fps requiring 2.5Tflops in 2011", 7970GHz.Ed should be at around 4TF, that's more than enough. So it's more than doable. And let's not...

    Unreal Engine 4 on PlayStation 4

    And that would actually mean nothing really. A lot of games today cannot be maxed out like those demos on a 7970 Ghz. Ed. level of power card even on a lower 1050p. Loose some of those "heavy" elements and it can be run even on 2 to 3 generations old GPUs. But at least it will look awesome on...

    AMD TressFX Technology Detailed

    I'm not programer so I don't really know if it is or it is not the only way or the most efficient way of accomplish a goal, but the results are there. It's not an overly tessellated object with 10k polys instead of a few hundred or a thousand, it's not some invisible ocean underneath the map and...

    AMD TressFX Technology Detailed

    I don't see a problem as long as it runs on nVIDIA cards and so it does. ;)

    Editorial It's Sony, Not AMD in GeForce Titan's Crosshair

    Don't expect such a big jump, it's not another drop in manufacturing process.

    Editorial It's Sony, Not AMD in GeForce Titan's Crosshair

    I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about optimizations for multi-core CPUs, DX10/10.1/11/11.1, on every game those partner companies launch. I'm talking about working with other devs in order to implement more features for the PC crowd, to make a PC first and then port it to consoles. I'm...

    Editorial It's Sony, Not AMD in GeForce Titan's Crosshair

    Well, if you compare the price of this Titan to the price of a new console (most probably less), even considering by a miracle that a ultra high end video card is all you need in order to get the best of that configuration, how on Earth thinks nVIDIA is going to make gamers change their mind...

    First NVIDIA GeForce Titan 780 Performance Numbers Revealed

    As far as I remember, the difference was huge if you'd compare the 4850 512MB model with the 5870 1GB one. A lot of games went beyond 512MB mark and that took a hit. Although 6970 was close to 5870, Crysis 3 seems to show a 57% gap between them -...

    NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

    Nope erocker, the huge ripoff price for the 7xxx series kept me away from it until the magic driver and bundle came true. What I'm saying guys, is that no matter how high the price will be, there are folks that will pay... at least if the performance is wright. At the same time, if this would...

    NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

    If it's close to a gtx690 performance, some will. At least you'll get a much better experience and there is no need for SLI profiles anymore.

    NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

    I'm only going to say it once and be done with it: yes, there is. The frames overlap in such a way that fools the eye. I saw that someplace, but I can't find it any more. Believe or don't believe, your choice. Yeah, I can settle with 30FPS locked on if I have to, but I don't like it, even if...

    NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

    Again, don't compare a movie with a game, the frame rates are "packed" waaaay different, Earth to Moon different. Besides, I believe we all want that virtual image, that virtual experience to be more life like, no? That also needs a high frame rate, just in the same way, a movie is more true to...

    NVIDIA to Name GK110-based Consumer Graphics Card "GeForce Titan"

    Yeah and some never complained about DVD quality, or HD quality or... Just because some gamers out there are fine with a low quality product, it doesn't mean it's good enough for everyone. Or that value of 30 can't be significantly improved and with it, the end user's experience. ;)
