Because SLI is not enabled for the game. Once you enable it you will see it drop to 4GB again.
DX12, Mantle, Vulcan will eventually stack vram, via alternate frame rendering, and even may allow you to use different multi gpu configurations in your setup.
Why not just play it and enjoy the game? You can pick up keys for cheap. If FPS becomes that much of an issue, turn off fog/smoke.
Ah, sold out. :(
NewMonday is desperately trying to use logic to put the game in a bad light, yet failing at his own logic. Even if it has the worst score on Metacritic it still is a great game like the rest.
The problem is you are focusing on everyone else's perspective of the game, suggesting we shouldn't take any positive news of the game. Bring up some points about the game itself in which it had a direct impact on you instead of how many stars it received on Amazon.
What happened to 1080p or bust? Oh wait, now we moved the goal posts to 900p. Some of these PS4-Users even come up with illnesses to defend their console of choice.
I hope the focus on 60 fps makes up for the mediocre MP. The single player shouldn't disappoint.
Ouch. No servers? Hey at least they are trying to add MP again. The previous attempts were atrocious, they even removed it from the Uncharted remaster.
Still haven't seen anything the trailers did not show. Yet another gripe since there is nothing to grasp on. Great single player, flawless Multi-player.
343 is continuing a great campaign, one which most have not even played.
This is great news. This may be one of the best games this year.
Sour grapes are everywhere. Folks haven't even played the game but are looking for reviews to voice their dissent just because they aren't happy. I feel sorry for them.
Preloaded and sitting comfortably on my couch vs standing in line in the middle of the night at a game store. Thanks but no thanks, I'll take the former.
And then we have the all the PS3 owners still out there.
It's a good thing that the people who never really liked Halo, aren't going to be playing this.
But before I lay judgement on a game and take someone else's word because it fits my bias, I'm going to run through it at least once. I'll read other reviews and see if my bullheaded views can't be changed to fit reality.
That way I won't be so upset all the time over games I never really cared about in the first place.
Where are the real reviews? Paste Magazine? Destructiod? RPG Lovers? Digital Spy? The moderators on N4G looking for hits today or what? Lol
Let's add the Forbes review on here while we're at it, "the best Halo yet!"
Yes, Unity looked amazing on PC after the patch works. I was only able to max out 1440p and ~60 FPS as the engine is too powerful for low end hardware. They had to tone down the rendering capability of the engine in order to get stable frame rates under a set amount of vram, but this is the fruits of the labor.
I wouldn't worry about it so much and actually look at how the core gameplay elements have evolved.
Wait, so an audiophile can buy a $100 smartphone but want to spend $150 on a set of earbuds and you tell him no because it costs more than the smart phone?
Considering they are moving to unite Windows 10 on all platforms, this is going to be a good move for them. There will more total users on Xbox Live with the inclusion of PC.
Now all they need to do is make Xbox Two into a more robust small form factor PC, ala Steam Machine with Big Screen Mode, keep the game controller and bring cross platform play to the masses.
This is going to be huge as PC players will now have access to what were once Xbox exclusives, a...
Except they are not dominating in the US, but only worldwide. Which is exactly my point. If they were dominating they wouldn't have to drop the price to curtail their competitors products sales and continue to make additional profit. This momentum Xbox is having is forcing Sony's hand.
Price drop for Xbox will come after this holiday season to match the new vendor bundles and drum up additional sales for anyone who was on the fence but couldn't grab one this se...
That's very impressive for Xbox to keep up the momentum after all the stigma attached to it from negative consumers.
^^^This.
I've seen so many casuals with a Wii hooked to their TV collecting dust.
I apologize, SFR is what I meant to write. It was very late or very early. Take your pick.
With AFR all assets have to be available to each GPU as it fully renders each other screen. SPR only needs the assets for only a portion of the screen. We may even be a able to throw the power of iGPU into the mix. More significant for APUs rendering power.
