My opinion on this is it depends on what the game developers are relying on to make the game popular in the first place, because not all strategies are the same. Games that rely on solid gameplay or on grind/reward feedback loops like MMOs tend to be timeless, people were still playing WoW en...
I've read this about Dishonered 2 in a few places, and also that SLI support is sketchy as well. My experience being late to the game, in that I only started playing it a month ago is that I get a rock solid 60fps with all the settings maxed at 4k including TXAA which surprised me quite a lot...
I find it interesting that several posters here have had visible warnings and post edits from mods for using language that the OP used.
To the OP, why assume bias on this before you get an answer from the reviewers? Maybe there's a reason they did what they did which has nothing to do with...
JS is very lite, in fact server side javascript is exploding in popularity in part because of this. What you're saying is that some webapps are very heavy handed in their use of JS and yes that's true and yes older CPUs will struggle with that but older CPUs will also struggle with native...
Wow really, what's the CPU/RAM? That'd have to be quite old to struggle with basic browser tasks. Could be upgrade time for a new mobo/cpu/ram, you could do a fairly budget build these days which can handle basic desktop stuff for fairly cheap. Modern CPUs with build in graphics don't really...
One semi-recent FPS game I've been absolutely loving like crazy is Dishonored 2. Loved the original as well, and this one is a natural evolution which improves on basically everything.
For me personally I love them because they're the only games that have managed to reproduce the stealth system...
Mmm not really. It comes down to what games do you play.
I ran a single 1080 for ages which is only marginally faster than a 1070Ti and I'd argue that in my steam library of 720 games maybe 3-4 wouldn't run comfortably in 4k. Even games like GTA5 run at a playable 50-60fps average.
There are...
Video cards can accelerate decoding (video play back) but it depends on encoding type the videos use and if the software playing the video specifically supports hardware accelerated playback. Most software does these days, most of the major browsers and most good video player software.
If...
To mirror what has been said here, that real world benchmarks of high end video cards dont show any measurable difference between 8x and 16x PCI-E slots, GPUs just do not transfer that much data across the PCI-E bus, probably the most saturated they ever get is when actually filling vRAM during...
I do wonder if they're going to take the new 12nm process and produce a classical raster only chip. If you look at the space on the 2080 chips used for Ray tracing it's quite significant so if you dedicated more of those transistors to normal rasterization you'd have one incredibly fast video...
Generally no, but it is application specific. If you wanted to just project the movie onto the screen more or less just a plane in front of you, then you don't need a very good GPU at all. If you want to use a game that renders you in 1st person inside a cinema room with a screen on the wall...
Well that's not quite true because only some fraction of the RTX2000 cores are dedicated to RT ops which means they're doing a not insignificant amount more workload with like 1/3rd of the die space. Cards that can do RT ops also need to still have reasonable raster performance at the same time...
Am I right in saying this is essentially using the RT cores to do visibility checks for culling? That's actually a really smart idea, I guess cores designed for doing vector work of raytracing are probably really fast at doing visibility check calculations it's kinda the same thing, right? This...
Yep looks that way, at least in terms of matching products like for like starting at the top end of both product range and working your way down from the top. It's become more complex to compare these cards now, I can't easily do it in my head anymore from a spec point of view really, I dunno if...
Tech will start to focus on things like research into new materials and more importantly lowering manufacturing costs, you can get a long way on lowering manufacturing costs because then you can start simply adding more GPUs and start working on rendering that can split the load between many...
