AMD GPU14 Tech Event Sept 25 - AMD Hawiian Islands

[seitur]

Disappointing so far. Gonna stop watching and read about it tommorow.

Just want to ask one thing since I've not watched it all yet.

Has it been confirmed when exactly new GPUs will hit actual shelves? (not paper launch)

How long is this talk supposed to be?

2014 according to Chris Roberts' blog.

More TressFX in games.

was that skyrim? [i know it wasnt]

Lichdom.

 

[wand3r3r]

Lol, i think you did not get it. I have a soundcard because i cared in the past. Now i want better graphics.

Lichdom is getting tressfx hair. ()

 

[monstercameron]

needs more maniacal laughter for that picture!

I wouldn't mind some refinement of it. I liked it compared to static hair. Although if it could be translated to other objects like swaying grass it could become quite nice. It just needs refinement and dedicated people.

 

[wand3r3r]

No we wouldn't because I still haven't gotten an answer to my question. What does this do that a soundcard (there are many options) cannot when games are not using lossless audio.

How would we know?

Tressfx hair actually looks great imo in tomb raider.

I like TressFX. :thumbsup:

Grass should have been the main application from the beginning, IMO. There is far more grass in games compared to hair.

 

[ShintaiDK]

So one new GPU and rest is rebrand. And then some audio crap is all we got. :|

And in terms of TressFX, even the PS4 uses APEX instead.

 

[exar333]

Hey everyone! Pay attention! We have some info on audio now!

Wait, weren't we already talking about audio?

 

[cmdrdredd]

How would we know?

Cause you're watching. Obviously they are trying to sell it as the best thing out there (even though I have a feeling it's not). So...what are they saying it does that differentiates it?

 

[Sohaltang]

Maybe amds angle is to offload everything to the gpu so their inferior cpus don't look so bad?

 

[heaver]

Don't people see that the the next couple of years are gonna be about immersion...
I mean, whats the thing thats 'revolutionizing' and making people cream in the gaming world. Don't think. It's the Oculus Rift. The fad now is immersion and perfect surround is VITAL... it's ABSOLUTELY VITAL for immersion.

Amd is not doing this for NO reason.

 

[sontin]

So, there is now a company i never heard on stage and making a parody of the presentation?!

 

[ShintaiDK]

Ye, I dont understand the focus from both companies on hair either.

 

[pcslookout]

There talking about hair ?

What? Nobody I know who is serious about gaming would touch a VR headset with a 10ft pole.

Most PC gamers are using their laptop speakers or 2.0 headphones/speakers. Most 'PC' speakers are trash. Real audiophiles already have good equipment. This is a non-starter IMHO.

 

[ZGR]

This is getting cringey. I'm outta here!

 

[wand3r3r]

Doesn't it have a massive performance hit? It will kill GPUs if it was everywhere. Look at BL2 and physx.

 

[Nintendesert]

Get them off the stage.

 

[sontin]

BTW: The whole TrueAudio reminds me of nVidia's chipset which was a result of the first Xbox.

 

[AnandThenMan]

Pointless banter, move along...
