Youtube does 60fps 4k

[GMdavidson]

 

 

"YouTube introduced videos that play at 60 frames per second last year and ones viewable in 4k resolution in February. Now, the website is starting to experiment with videos that are both silky smooth and ultra high-def. Tech Crunch has spotted a low-key, semi-secret playlist comprised of only six videos that you can choose to play at 60 fps in 4K resolution -- just toggle the settings switch to see the option. You'll have to load YouTube on Chrome to see the 2160p60 4K setting under Quality. Plus, you'll need a device capable of displaying ultra HD (3840 × 2160 resolution) to enjoy the feature's benefits."

Star Citizen in 4k 60fps:

These videos destroy cpu usage whilst not using my gpu at all, anyone care to explain? My 4670k @ 4.5ghz stutters like crazy .  It is great that youtube is pushing this type of content though, opinions?

4K60fps does not work here. 2laggy4me.

 

If it doesn't show up on your PC, you have to update Chrome

[Victorious Secret]

Google, killing bandwidth and your CPU, one Chrome update at a time. 

[Nineshadow]

Can't play it that well. It stutters like hell. Bandwidth is fine, but I can't play that 4k video at 60 fps D:.

My cpu is at 100%.

Lol.

[TheHolyCawCaw]

Well gotta need a 4k display to enjoy this

@LinusTech you KNOW we want it!  B)

[RedSphyxis]

if only we had cheaper and faster speeds here

[Sauron]

I HAVE seen better textures to be honest though...

He will just render 4k30fps to 60fps and troll everyone

[VirtualR3ality]

Regardless 60fps 4k is pretty nerdgasming awesome. I am happy I took the dive to 4K, however if you don't have fast network speeds you won't be able to take full advantage of streaming 4k content.

although right now 4k 60fps is stuttering so much (it's not the connection, it was loading fast) we may notice the difference from that alone ^^ and if my i7 stutters I fear most people will have the same problem...

Damn straight! B)

This is interesting. Vessel's got nothing on YouTube. #VesselRekt JK

I have a 3770K@4.0 Ghz and its hovering between 60-80% when I play 4K@60 FPS. No stuttering at all like how others are reporting

[Thony]

Something is super wrong with that video. No way it would make my i7 go 60-80% usage.  I dont even have 4K monitor....

I heard massive hype about Star Citizen, but in this video there are stupidly low res textures. Its all blurry with no detail. Characters have some detail, ship on the outside too but interior is pretty crappy just like the asteroids (or w/e the correct term is for the "rocks" in space).

Close to 100% usage across all 6 physical cores on my 4930k at 4.7GHz

This is some random fan made video.

We don't even know what settings were used, most likely not max. In-engine cinematics if not done right, can actually make the game look worse than real gameplay too.

Look at some ship showcases on the official RSI channel, the detail is nuts.

This exiting, YouTube stepping up their game.

[KirbyTech]

I have a great connection for here in Canada and I have no hope as YouTube recommends 35 MB/s for 30 fps, so 70 down is crazy, only play in Canada that, that is not the highest tier is the east coast and that is only because they are Bell's testing ground.

[SkilledRebuilds]

Playing the First 1 of 6 in that link,.. the Volcano,....in Chrome it works fine,.. Firefox is a stuttery mess.

 

Chrome = 75-85% CPU usage across all four 4Ghz cores, 25% GPU usage on my 290X

^At least at the start when I play.

Then it stabilizes after some buffering at 70-85% CPU usage, and 70% GPU usage,.. still plays smooth.

[ACatWithThumbs]

The game is in Pre Alpha...

[silberdrachi]

Because chrome's performance isnt bad enough, lets decode 4k60fps video

[Sauron]

The game is in Pre Alpha...

 

sure, but textures don't really have anything to do with the code... we'll see I suppose. It's not like it looks bad anyway. It's just that with all the hype about the graphics I'd have expected something better.

The entire game is in pre alpha that includes art assets.

Almost all graphic features are missing right now even basic functions like AA.

Holy heavy shit. 60-70% constant on all 8 threads. Hope that doesn't take too long to get better
