I would support this, but it will still be inherently shackled by Microsoft's OS licensing fee's. The day Valve buys On-Live (or creates it's own similar service) and supports real-time streaming across any pc-like device (desktop, tablet, powerful smart phones, etc.) along side local play for those with good enough PC's and can just make steam it's own OS will be the day that "PC Gaming" will obsolete console gaming and will start becoming the overriding popular way to game.
I wouldn't call the On-Live kind of media streaming "PC gaming".
I would call it PC gaming, if it's streaming PC games.
Streaming services share almost no strengths and weaknesses that are typically associated with PC gaming. You could say that consoles are specialized personal computers hence any gaming is PC gaming, but that would be missing the point.
Haha, good one buddy!
I said it before, and I'll say it again. The GTX470: just like the 5870 that you've already had (or could have had) for six months but hotter, more power hungry, and louder.
Haha, good one buddy!
Scuse me folks, but didn't we have all of these arguments long ago? Like AT THE TIME it was happening? Why argue about them all over again? Just dumb.
Don't lapse back into that abyss. hehe.
After all, there will be a whole slew of new arguments to be had soon enough.
Good catch. People who use 3DMark11 runs as a measure of peak power consumption haven't a clue how GPU hardware works. That or they're being deliberately misleading.so you say the 285 also had a total system power of 418W??
walk over the reviews, with less efficient drivers the 480 was already 100W above the 280 serie. which is about 75%..
Ow and it might be that the 2xx serie also benifitted from drivers?

So about BigK, are we expecting a Q3 launch?
So Kyle's benching his at Hardforum, and says the GK104 (680) is faster in games than the 7970. He says the 7970 beats the 680 in highly tesselated scenarios - like tessmark and heaven extreme. The 680 wins on all the normal gaming benchmarks, in game runs, and synthetics.
We've known this since January with those leaked benchmarks.
Looking forward to Cayman, err ehm, Kepler.

smaller AND FASTER? dang....
7000 looked good against 2 year old 40nm...
so what now?
I kid, I kid
Lots of people on here thought Nvidia couldn't catch or beat AMD GPU's on performance per mm^2. Lots of people on here also thought GK104 wouldn't be able to keep up with or beat Tahiti. Lots of people on here think Nvidia isn't going to upset the current pricing tier's set by AMD.
I hope lots of people are wrong 3 out of 3 times.
