The TrueAudio guy made a big deal about this working on stereo or headphones, exactly what you said most gamers have. So it will help them, if not people with better setups.
If it was between one or the other, I will always take grass. Lot more of it in a game.
Yes, but think about it this way. It would be like buying a 3-4k audio receiver for your home theater and connecting a $80 set of speakers. Audio quality is first and foremost your equipment. 2.0 sound from $500 speakers will be 100x better than 7.1 sound from $50 speakers. Cheap speakers is what most people use...
True! Just wish we'd see something equally revolutionary with the hardware or the card pricing.glad to see audio making a big push.
creative eax on windows xp was orgasm for your ears. straight wall hacking.
last few years has been abysmal in the stereo positional audio.

No it's just looking at the reality of things. 4k will come, probably to PC monitors before TV screens in the mainstream. Resolution and sharpness will trump VR.
So what are the actual specs of the R290? ROPs, TMUs, etc...
positional audio is not about creating the best sound stage, bass, highs, clarity.
its about changing the signature to mimic a sound coming from behind you with 2 speakers, or a sound coming from above with 5.1 setup.

Well, lets just say we agree to disagree. 4K will be nice, 8K will be nice, but those are small improvements. Going from 360p to 1080p is a far bigger jump in immersion than going to 4K/8K. Diminishing returns will become a bigger and bigger problem.

I don't agree, 4k is a huge step up. It takes the visual from nice to "looking out a window" experience. It removes that artifact of knowing it's still a display. Huge difference.

I am not saying people should pay more for TrueAudio, but if it is included for a small cost, I can see the value there. Even for laptop speaker users.
Okay, why are people clapping for a CGI trailer of a game?
