Digital Foundry theorizes that Sony's push for the PS4 Pro as it is to utilize checkerboard upscaling to 4K is to lower "power demand" in order to achieve 4K resolution games. Right now, native 4K at "console quality" would require a GTX 1070 to say the LEAST. This checkerboard upscaling technique is a developer push in order to better market 4K as a standard resolution for home TV's because commercially, 1080p Full HD is more affordable to people than 4K "Ult...

I'm pretty sure someone at Guerrila outed that the PS4 Pro is only capable of outputting higher resolutions with very little graphical upgrades because of what Sony is pushing for with the system.

As a PC gamer who's built many PC's the short answer is no.

Sony is able to shave off some of the costs from buying the parts directly. Even then Sony will be selling the system at a loss at launch in order to better express the value of the product to early adopters. To top it all off, the loss will be easily covered up via AAA licensing like the original PS4's launch.

Now, does it mean I'm saying people should buy the PS4 Pro? Absolute...

By cronies do you mean whoever was in her pants? She was literally the catalyst to Gamergate

It's a matter of implementing balance and any kind of last-minute bugs that can be fixed within that 2-months time. With BF3 and BF4 they did open betas mere WEEKS before the game's launch.

Other than random jitters in frame rate when I first started playing I have had literally no issues playing on PC. I bought it on GOG if that means anything idk.

*cough" Steam Early Access *cough* *cough*

The only good thing to come out of Early Access was Kerbal Space Program, I'll give it that much.

Universal Keyboard shortcuts. As in you can map a controller to they keyboard via the Xbone's UI, and it would work on any game.

They said Skyrim was the easiest to do since they were testing the Skyrim Engine on 8th-gen for Fallout 4.

If that's the case, it means great things for both Nvidia and Nintendo. Nvidia's Pascal series has proven its power with the Geforce GTX 1000-series, and given how powerful the K1(Kepler) in Nvidia's latest tablets and the X1(Maxwell) in the SHIELD console, Pascal is set to be a monstrous mobile CPU.

This is not a gaming GPU. It is not meant to BE a gaming GPU. This is a professional-studio GPU that is tailored for rendering and is meant to handle mass workloads for quality rendering and work that even a gaming GPU can't handle. Again, NOT a gaming GPU.

The Nvidia Tegra is yes, a mobile processor. However, the CPU is tailored for streaming at 1080p60fps (in addition to native support for AAA-style games). I own a SHIELD K1 Tablet so I have experienced what Nvidia's home-grown mobile tech can do, and if the NX is planning on commercializing that level of technology, it will be a huge boost for both Nintendo and Nvidia.

They really can. Nvidia introduces the card. AMD has to follow up. AMD released the 300 series in retaliation to the Maxwell series but it had no changes in architrcture, and was nothing but them widening the memory bus and/or adding more VRAM

Frame rates would stutter no matter what settings or frequency it was on. Nothing was blocking the fans and I had plenty of power (700w PSU, FX8350)

Nvidia's design choices are very questionable with the 1060. 6GB is a lot of VRAM, yes, but GPU's show to have problems with their VRAM being at an increment of 3GB. Also their choice to not have it capable of SLI, and their claim of it being faster than a GTX 960 when it's clearly not. It mostly JUST matches the GTX 970 in those benchmarks (granted, the GTX 970 is still a revered mid-tier card at $260 on Amazon).

As an entry-level card, the $250 tag and the ext...

The purpose of home consoles is essentially an offering of a mid-to-lower tier PC at a reasonable price. /r/pcmasterrace always boast about the fact that DIY builds can run cheaper yet more efficient (and they're right), it's just that on a commercial level, not everyone will be building their own PC for games.

One the subject of Project Scorpio, the commercial offering of it from the E3 developer interviews at the end of Microsofts conference, it's a console bu...

Granted. The contrast to the headline is the fact Sony's stocks have been on a downward turn due to every other branch of their conglomerate that isn't Playstation. VAIO is gone. BRAVIA holds almost no share of the TV market. Xperia phones have been getting comparatively worse every year. Even now, Sony Music and Sony Pictures are taking a turn for the worst. The North Korea hacking, Ghostbusters, and the fact that both relied on hard-disk-format distribution for the past 20 years whe...

The entire Pascal (1000) series has been marked up by $50 compared to the Maxwell(900) series because of the tremendous technological leap between the two generations of Nvidia cards. The 1060 is projected to produce the same kind of performance as the GTX 970 and RX 480. To add to that, the $250 is for a 6GB version. a 3GB version is coming out on a later date at an even lower price.

Personally, I've had bad-blood with AMD cards. My R9 280 throttled horribly in Battlef...

Nintendo execs explain numerous times that the purpose of the company is push the innovation in enterainment. The NES, the GameBoy, and the Wii are the biggest examples of Nintendo's riskiest investments that resulted in them raking in billions that resulted in changes in the market. The NES reignited the console market in North America. The GameBoy was the first thing to put video games in people's pockets, and the Wii's push for motion controls has been a catalyst for the curren...
