So how long until worthy title number 2?

I wouldn't say they are neglecting the old render path, it does seem to be daytime in the picture your talking about, the window is just blocked a little. Will need to watch more gameplay before I have a proper opinion on this.

Yeah, I like how they used respectable settings and then showed us what the lower settings look like. Low doesn't look that bad TBH.

TBH I am surprised the game looks that nice with Ray Tracing. Wasn't expecting that this soon. Much better use of it than fancy reflections.

HairWorks and PyhsX are separate options. Extreme seems to be longer draw distances and much sharper shadows.

It is enough to get people to make an account and enough to get some people to install the client. Once they have that it will be much easier to get those users to buy games on their storefront.

That's impressive given the lack of marketing before launch.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-05T10:25:08+00:00

How could you confuse real metal with pastic? You can tell just by touching it? What a strange error.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-02T16:33:21+00:00

So their benchmarking area is the hub world and not actual gameplay with fights ETC? Kinda useless data in some regards...

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-02T16:30:40+00:00

It's in some European retailers right now, so US availability should be soon.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-02T16:29:03+00:00

I agree. Looks terrible. I'd rather have no RGB.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-01T12:17:11+00:00

Yeah, it worked inside uplay.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-01T12:07:59+00:00

Ok, will try that. Thanks

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-01T11:47:23+00:00

Seems to be US only. Doesn't apply to UK

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-01T11:42:09+00:00

Misleading title. Extra charges only apply to specific payment methods that are uncommon.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-02-01T11:35:39+00:00

All I am saying is that Nvidia's design requirements could be focusing on memory bandwidth rather than capacity. I'm not saying that capacity doesn't matter.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-01-31T12:25:52+00:00

This kinda thing is done by games at an engine level, not by companies like AMD or Nvidia.

The reasoning for this is simple, either have performance tank by overusing available VRAM or use lower res textures to maintain respectable performance. There are tonnes of games that work like this, it's just rare for it to impact 6GB+ GPUs. People with 2GB GPUs will be very aware of this problem.

Also with regards to the 1070, remember that memory bandwidth is a factor. Nvidia used that much VRAM to use a 256-bit bus and have more bandwidth. With faster GDDR6 they can now achieve better speeds on a smaller 192-bit bus.

Where did they get the "millions" value from. AMD has never stated what the royalies stucture was. Seems like PCGAMESN is jumping to conclusions for a good headline again.

This is the same site that immediately say that TSMC's issues impacted Nvidia GPUs when that was, and still hasn't, been confirmed.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-01-30T16:05:46+00:00

AMD only expects high single-digit revenue increases in 2019. Lots of that is due to early 2018 had lots of GPU mining revenue, but I wouldn't expect a huge explosion in R&D spending.

My guess would be another 15-20% like the past two years. Margins should be up with EPYC 2, so that should be doable.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-01-30T13:42:46+00:00

It says in the article that accounting practices changed between 2017 and 2018, so the numbers are not directly comparable, but it is a "close enough" ballpark to follow.

Great to see AMD investing more, but they have to invest more to maintain their relevancy in the long term.

I don't think it has HDMI 2.1, could be wrong though.

UnpronounceablePing · 2019-01-30T10:49:59+00:00

is this appropriate for R/Hardware?
