ehh. I beat P4G the first time in 68 hours, yeah, but the second time took 46. P3FeS was like 56 and 42. I can see getting it down to 30 if you just ignore the social links. Probably make the game super difficult though.
Yes, taking quotes out of context and without representing the larger point I was making will make it look like I'm wrong. Grats.
Vram is a marketing gimmick. 6TFLOPS is not even close to fast enough for native 4k/60 for most anything AAA and you'll see serious struggles with 4k/30 (most of the time) unless you turn the settings way down because the card simply can't process the data fast enough. Obviously architecture and optomization and about a million other things play into it and can actually be significantly more important (after all, the RX480 peaks at 5.9 and the GTX 1070 peaks at 6.5 which is only a 10%...
@Aenea
No, I'm claiming whatever resolution it was natively rendered at will have more detail than the upscaled version. If you actually bothered to read my post, maybe you'd have gotten that as the takeaway. Upscaling *reduces* image detail.
try not throwing stones from that glass house sweetheart.
@Sevir then the extra detail is from the higher rendering resolution, it's still not the upscaling. The upscaling results in a loss of detail. That's why the edges appear soft. That really doesn't undermine my point at all. It's doing exactly what i said it is, minimizing the loss of detail from traditional upscaling, not adding detail to put it in line with native 4k. I can do basically the same thing on my PC right now with similar effects, if I wanted to install ubisoft gam...
I've seen the digital foundry article. They outright state that the result of the upscaling is a softness (ie loss of detail) on edges and some of the particle effects and textures become more visibly blurry.
Maybe look up how the upscaling actually works and apply some critical thinking. It can't magic detail in to make up for the fact that the original image is 1080p. What it does is apply a gradient between nearby pixels to smooth out the jaggies and pixilation ...
I'd think the bigger risk would be not mentioning that high quality HDR *tanks* framerates so compromises will have to be made in any game that supports it, especially given the modest power of the GPU, and if the game in question is already struggling it might simply be off the table.
Sony can recommend whatever they want. I would recommend a high quality 1080p TV.
The 4k upscaling they use will actually result in a *loss* of visual quality compared to the same game on the same system with a 1080p display. What their fancy upscaling does is minimize the loss upscaling usually causes (which usually comes in the form of jagged edges, visual distortions and pixilation) by, in effect, slightly blurring everything to hide them.
Part of that is a misnomer. The fancy upscaling won't make it look *better* at 4k, it will *stop* it looking as bad as 1080p normally does when upscaled with simpler techniques (which tends to distort things and/or create pixilation or jaggies along edges.) It won't look better, it will preserve most of the image quality by blurring lines where it would otherwise be pixilated.
There may be extra detail on the upscaled PS4 pro versions, but it will be because they&...
That (again, assuming the rather vague Scorpio specs are accurate) isn't really true. The Scorpio (gpu wise) will actually be able to compete with mid range PCs in terms of fidelity and framerate, the Ps4 Pro will not. The PS4 pro will actually slightly underperform compared to the 280x (a 2 generation old mid range card) in terms of raw power.
Incidentally I just upgraded from a 280x to a RX 480 like 3 weeks ago. In Shaodow of Mordor (on custom settings) my minimum fr...
They said 6 TFLOPS right? Even assuming that was the determining factor of performance (it isn't) I have an RX480 which stock clock peaks at 5.9 TFLOPS (I can get more.) Chances are the Scorpio is using the same architecture (polaris 10) as the 480 because if they were using Vega or Pascal they'd be getting more. Guess what? Unstable native 4k30 is the *absolute* best case for modern games on an RX480 unless you turn all the settings way down. The sole exception is DOOM, where it can ...
It should be able to manage 1080p/60 with high settings for most games, with maybe lights and shadows having to be turned down some.
Though I agree, console games need settings. If given the option to turn down quality to manage a stable frame rate I would almost always take the option in anything action oriented.
No. It will, in fact, not match native 4k. There is more to it than sharp edges, you'll get precisely 0 additional detail (most easily noticed in lighting, close ups and particle effects) because upscaling can't magic the extra detail in, you're just avoiding most of the stretching and blurring that displaying a 1080p image at 4k would normally cause. The technique Ubisoft uses is good, but it's still clearly not native 4k if you actually stop to look at things because it'...
TL;DR Obsidian are better at world building, character building and narrative structure than modern Bethesda. Fallout 3 and 4 are like themeparks for your setpiece moments and power fantasies (though fallout 4 does pay far more attention to world building than 3 does), Fallout 1/2/NV are like actual worlds that function in a way that makes sense given their rules.
It's not. They've outright stated they aren't doing a WiiU emulator (they only added a Wii because it's basically the same thing as the Gamecube) and the only functional WiiU emulator I'm aware of (Cemu) is a long ways off. It will run some of the popular games at full speed sometimes if you have a super beefy computer so don't expect full or even mostly full compatibility for 2+ years.
No. I'm not forcing my views on you if I want "under god" removed from the pledge. I have no right to stop you praying at a football game, pledging your alliegance under god, or displaying a nativity on your own property (or any other private property you have permission to do so on.) I have *every* right to demand that it not be part of the official conduct or speech for public events because the state isn't supposed to support a religion, or even the concept of a religion...
oops, wrong artilce
Except for the whole "we want mass adoption" thing and the "we already have factories employed to mass produce the thing" and the "we're pushing VR into the main stream" thing that all heavily incentivise getting as many out as fast as possible. That preorders sold out so fast is a good reason to ramp up production.
Besides that, you can and should wait a month or more to be sure it's actually worth getting and works properly, ect. and...
You mean upscale an image to 4k? You can do that for far less than $400. Most 4k TVs will do that automatically. Some are even decent at it. We'd need a multiplat game to actually compare performance and we'd have to know the *actual* resolution it's rendering at before the upscaling.
Oh that's BS and you know it. For 1 you can hook a computer up to a TV just as easily as you can a console, and for 2 are we including the cost of the TV when talking about con...
