What do you excatly consider mid-range in 2019?
Because I feel both product stacks are offering more than what mid-range is by today's standard.
Christ is this click bait?!
What do we know about the consoles at this point? Really, know. Is there supposed to be some miracle hype train that is flogging gamers to get excited at announcements of, "Yes we are working on the next generation of console."
How about when we actually get solid details on what the big 3 are offering. How they are offering the experience. How much things are going to cost. Which games are going to launch. ETC. ETC. ...
Duh.
Also, do not count out a future ray tracing update on the next gen console versions.
The reality of next generation. If a $2000 PC cannot run the PR speak, a console sure as heck will not.
8k - movie playback
4k - 30Hz
4k - 60Hz (reduced graphical fidelity)
1080p - 120Hz (with native TV / monitor support) 120Hz is not native on all advertised models. Some just overdrive the refresh rate based on incoming NTSC signal. Be warned.
Leaks and projections put the top end Navi playing around RTX 2060 levels. Not bad for a mainstream card supposedly priced at $250.
I loved Octopath Traveler, but handheld mode pissed me off. Why, I couldn't read a single lick of dialogue. Annoying frustration. Needed a magnifying lens to see the chat boxes (ie iphone zoomed in on camera app). So, jrpg on switch, yay. Switch in mobile mode, not with a radiation proof 10ft pole.
SATA I = 150MB/s (PS3), SATA II = 275MB/s (PS4), SATA III = 520MB/s, NVMe = 3500MB/s. I mean if they are going to slap a SSD in there I hope they update the standard. I would not dismiss a NVMe standard connected via m.2 standard for size considerations. However, there is a cost premium with that. A 200%+ improvement by updating to Gen3 SATA and SSD would be a huge boost. Currently, my friend has a NVMe drive that cost him $300 and I have a SATA III drive that cost $150; both SSDs. We still l...
Well, let us hope that Sony actually upgrades the connection to the system. It will not help us if they slap a SSD in there and attach it using a SATA I or II generation connection. The minimum should be SATA III or NVM PCI-E connection. Bottle-necking the glorious speed of a SSD would be a travesty. Previous videos of upgrades to SSD in PS3 or PS4 era consoles did not yield the speed upgrades that a SSD should do expressly because Sony opted for the oldest slowest connection they could with ...
You bet your butt it is!
If you cannot see the writing on the wall with SqureEnix's trends the last two years, you are delusional
It is the NEW ethical micro-transactions. Everyone have some Kool-aid!
I am not sure if you are being an apologist for Capcom, but the latest releasing version of SFV is only including the DLC characters IF you purchase Arcade Edition at retail. The free update is only adding more modes of play and cleaning up the UI. Things that have cost them sales because they were supposed to be there day one. It is not some sort of extra freebie to the FGC for their support. Just making that clear.
Also, Arc System I hope is the next to reap what has bee...
I suppose it is time to write this game off until the inevitable Dragon Ball Fighter Z: Universal Power Turbo Tournament Edition GT, to get those characters included. Right, Capcom? I mean Arc Systems.
Playstation 2 used dual-core RISC cpus to process their engines coupled with VPU and image processing totalling 8 cores on one package. RISC =/= x86 cpus hence the reason the emulation is trash.
Today's consoles are basically x86 PC with custom OS and little overhead. You can make a fair envelope math guesstimate when a large majority of specs are available.
Basically the 1080 Ti is only beginning to push 4k 60fps easily with 10.6 Teraflops of proce...
@AcidDvl
If you reread what I typed you would have invalidated your own response because your second viewpoint is exactly the context of the reply. I even cited two examples of games presented as finished products yet clearly were not, and now in hind sight can everyone see how lacking they were in order to make a release date.
Your first rebuttal does not even come close to interpreting the viewpoint I was coming from. The sentence about coal was the pro...
You are getting older and your purchase tastes are getting refined. You already sampled it, but are not wow'd by the same thing anymore. Part of getting older. I personally only bought 3 games in the last two years because I cannot find things worthy of my time anymore.
One would think that given the sample pool of what was shoved down our throats in 2016, and expected to accept as finished product sort of validates the need for this question. After NMS and FF xv, I think it is fitting to wonder if this will be another polished lump of coal or an actual gem worthy of its name.
At this point I wonder if EA Bioware is just trying to cash in on the Mass Effect name to garner sales for Nostalgic people.
I assumed max 3x Switch per store before even researching the basis behind this article. Am I pretty close to this BS PR stunt?
The whole site is SJW dribble. At least its a whole site to ignore moving forward.
Enjoy paying that $1,000 price tag for a video card outperformed with a $500 part that same winter.
Sadly your argument hinges on the fact that those choices will not fail.
Consumer choices are only winning choices if the product wins in the market, and does not fail commercially. Example, PS Vita. Could you really, honestly say that platform is still alive and well? Same thing here. If instead of supporting a multi-faceted product 100%, we the consumers have given MS, Sony, and Nintendo a reason to market multiple products to us and force us to buy more parts to fatten ...
Here you go folks. Performance #s based on this article.
5700xt vs. 2070 Super @ 1440p
Framerate:
AMD =10% slower
Frametime:
AMD = 2.43% smoother
Frame-per-Watt:
AMD 0.32 and Nvidia 0.36
$-per-Frame:
AMD 0.20c, Nvidia 0.21c
Conclusion. AMD is slower in raw framerate, but smoother in sustainable frametime. Power cost is a 1:1 linear ratio of frame rate increase meaning 10% faster = 10% more powe...
