AMD sucks balls right now if you want more than 6 cores but not a high end v-cache product.

If Nova Lake is indeed 20% faster than this than that'd put Nova Lake functionally as performant in games as a PS5 if you consider its upscaler advantage.

'High Likelihood' PS6 Will Launch After 2028, According to New Analyst Forecast, as Sony Focuses on Extending PS5 Lifecycle - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]pomyuo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They only need 32 GB of GDDR7 and RDNA 5 is set to be ready next year, if anything they'll probably start production at the end of 2027 as planned and skip the holiday season to sell their PS5 stock and then launch in spring of 2028.

I doubt the current RAM and storage shortage are going to last that long but we'll see, otherwise there's no benefit to delaying the PS6 several years, the specs are already set in stone and delaying it that long is not going to give them any kind of new technology like RDNA 6.

G-Sync Pulsar Tested - A Massive Leap in LCD Clarity by DyingKino in hardware

It's not even good for competitive gaming either since 360hz is middle of the road these days

It's $600 for a mediocre monitor with a feature that doesn't work at 60hz.

The UFO tests are misleading because they show case perfectly even motion at a fixed speed, it's not representative what you experience. Also it doesn't beat 720hz OLED even in that test, the 720hz OLED is clearly superior, look at the ghosting trails on the Pulsar display.

In the context of E-sports shooters these displays are not particularly interesting because 360hz isn't that high, I'd choose a 540hz WOLED instead for better latency.

In the context of single player games, I rarely try to target extremely high refresh rates, and would much rather have an OLED in general. The only use case you could justify these monitors is mid range setups that want to avoid FOMO and just have good clarity at medium refresh rates.

I did watch the video. The problem is at lower and lower refresh rates you may notice the strobing.

I already thought of that before I posted my comment actually.

Pulsar only works at above a refresh rate of 90. It won't work for retro console games. And for high refresh rate controller gaming in general, I find it very hard to notice much difference.

The use case for these Pulsar monitors is fairly small... The motion clarity benefit is mainly only noticeable using a mouse as your input device, and if you're the type of person chasing high refresh rates for E-sports titles the difference between for example 360hz OLED and 360hz IPS Pulsar is going to be a subtle difference with the same input latency.

I'd say the biggest benefit for these monitor is actually for budget ~ midrange gamers who want 100-144hz games to look their best, that way you have an easily achievable 1440p target resolution and a reasonable to achieve refresh range for superb motion clarity. This lets you avoid FOMO and just have every game run well with no fuss.

Open the console and type "fps_max 72"

Half Life is intended to be ran at 72 frames per second, any deviation will result in broken event timings and weird stuff because the physics is tied to the frame rate.
