Unreal Engine 3 Tweaks for Smoothness

So this has been bothering me for a while now, UE3 games are some of the most frustrating pieces of software/games out there, not because of how they look or perform (raw FPS wise) but because of the damn micro stuttering these games tend to have. The latest example is Killing Floor 2...

So, do active PFC PSU really require a pure sine wave UPS?

Title pretty much says it all, I'm in the market for a UPS, and from what I can tell, active PFC PSU's require a pure sine wave UPS to work properly, but unfortunately, where I live I can't find a single UPS with pure sine wave, just non pure sine wave ones. Thanks.

The AMD Mantle Thread

Hello Johan, we've actually exchanged a couple of tweets in the past, quick question for you: How much performance would you say us non 290X, 290, 260X users will be missing in this initial release? (I have a HD 7970 GHz Edition), and how soon will those optimizations be implemented for the...

The AMD Mantle Thread

My bad, I actually saw a couple of posts mentioning the R9 290X when the stream was happening so I thought I had missed it, but after having re-watched the stream, there's absolutely no mention of any hardware config. Sorry. I will say that it had to be a high end part, removing the 2 dips it...

The AMD Mantle Thread

Not a chance in hell, we already have videos of Kaveri running BF4 around 30 FPS at 1080p with everything set to Medium, and in the teaser they showed today the average was around ~100 FPS. So it had a to be a high end part. And yes those hiccups were actually VERY noticeable, you could also...

45% faster than DirectX. So IMO, since BF4 is natively a Direct3D 11.1 game, it was probably calculated based off of that. But as with every news conference/PR stuff, take it with a grain of salt.

Yup. Running on a 290X, "up to" 45% in performance improvement.

The AMD Mantle Thread

That belongs in the tin foil hat category though in all honesty. I want to believe that's not actually the main reason behind the "hate" we're seeing in regards to Mantle, maybe it's something as basic as people with NVIDIA cards being afraid of AMD overtaking their cards by a significant %...

The AMD Mantle Thread

How am I saying that they're equivalent in consequences for the other camp? What I did was shed some light on how they're being treated differently by the PC crowd, while having ~somewhat comparable restrictions/requirements (in the case of G-Sync the requirements are much heavier vs Mantle...

The AMD Mantle Thread

I was actually referring to your statement: "they're making Direct3D look worse than it actually is", how do you know that? are you a game developer? Friendly advise mate, you should really stop it with the whole frame rate thing, just because a game has a high frame rate doesn't mean the...

The AMD Mantle Thread

So obviously that was directed at me, oh I don't know... Maybe because it's one, if not the most active Mantle thread out there right now and I wanted to chime in? But I guess the most logical guess would be that I'm being paid by AMD to promote Mantle. Fanatical posts? have you actually...

The AMD Mantle Thread

They've been asking for this from AMD for years now, just because we're hearing more about it now that Mantle was announced doesn't mean it wasn't as strong before, in fact, look at this article from 2011: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2011/03/16/farewell-to-directx/ If Johan...

The AMD Mantle Thread

They are sure on the right path IMO. Both AMD and DICE have confirmed that they are indeed adding the necessary abstraction for compatibility with other vendors, but it will definitely come down to politics at the end :(. Btw on the whole OpenGL vs Mantle discussion... (not related to the...

The AMD Mantle Thread

My gut tells me that BF4's Mantle renderer/build is not delayed, if that was actually the case, Johan would have address it already IMO, but we've heard absolutely nothing from either camp (AMD or DICE). :crosses fingers:

Yeah pretty underwhelmed by it, hopefully there're a couple of improvements under the hood.
