That's my point, a good part of gamers can't hear the difference or simply don't care, people that are like or work in the music area, are the ones that most of the time will notice the difference, you ears are train for that or already have that natural ability.
Yes, I am not disagreeing with you. Just like some people cannot tell 30 FPS from 60 FPS there are people that are happy with sound in 2.0. It does not mean that everybody will be happy about games in 30 FPS 2.0 stereo.

Damn this guy from Lichdom presentation was annoying. Someone should have send his a memo that this was not presentation for elementary school.

Ehh whatever, I expect too much of this and gaming industry it seems. Time to stop watching PR machine.

I am outta here.

Have you actually tried the Oculus Rift? So far, people seem very interested in it. Maybe just the people you know don't care. I am guessing it is not a lot of people.

People who have tried it also report low resolution, getting woozy, trouble focusing etc.

When 4k gets here, who wants 1080p anymore.

I have a feeling it takes 15% of A core (not all cores) 15%, who cares? Most folks have CPU performance to spare anyways. I need more GPU power...

I wonder if that's really designed for AMD's APUs, which usually are a bit lacking on the CPU side. Especially if we consider the next-gen consoles, which probably don't want anything taxing their CPU to that extent.

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...

R9-290X Battlefield 4 Edition limited quantities, available for pre-order starting October 3
Are they saying here that there are only going to be only a few 290X's in the wild, or just a few 290X's that are going to come with BF4?

I hope it just means that there is only going to be limited cards shipped with BF4...

The consoles even have dedicated Network processors now to do all the downloading and uploading in the background off the CPU. They say it's to make things more seamless and instantaneous but I think they didn't want the CPU bogged down with all the social stuff built into PSN and XBL.

Yay,Amd is pulling the nvidia short stop and going for the rebadge method as well but Amd went the extra mile including a fun little $99 card as well,nvidia stopped short at the gtx760 with its rebadging.Nvidia still needs its gtx760ti,its gtx750 and a gt740 just for measure.....

The 290x is the only thing exciting and that is without seeing some official reviews.

People report that for all VR out there. The point is that Oculus has done a better job of trying to solve those problems. The product is not done, not final, it will improve. I would like to see a 4K display myself before I could be comfortable with it. Adjustable lenses would also be nice, I have glasses.

And that last line is like saying why buy a old-tech incremental computer now, just wait for the future photonic supercomputers that fit in your pocket.

This is the worst presentation Ive ever watched LOL its such a trainwreck...

I love how NO ONE clapped after Lichdom trailer
At least the Lichdom CEO dude had some enthusiasm, but the whole script was cringeworthy (as always)

Anyway, looks like we are back to graphics...

GT630 and GT640 are new with GK208.

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.

Just a limited number/partners preorders with bf4. No limits on the card itself.

AMD says they have never done anything like this before.

Let's hope they never do it again.
