  1. Lots of games use the older type of hdr on consoles, the big deal here is support for the larger color space on brand new 4k tvs it's the hdr that's part of the uhd Blu-ray standard. It's part of the hdmi 2.0 spec
  2. Previously HDR referred to rendering a game in a larger color space and then clamping it on output so if the scene was mainly bright with a few dark spots it raises the black value, if it's mostly a black scene it lowers the bright point. Modern HDR is an increase in color space on the TV and unclamped color rendering Will edit with better explanation later
  3. Yeah everything Xbox after revision 3 or 4 iirc isn't affected by the mobo warping and chip deseating that ravaged the first couple The slims and further are basically bulletproof
  4. That's absolutely not true, the Xbox failure rate was several times higher. https://consumerist.com/2009/08/17/xbox-360-failure-rate-is-542-percent-game-informer-finds/ The PS3 was issue prone due to higher TDP, but I never experienced a failure in a PS3 outside a PSU after 5 years of use, no one I knew had one die I had 11 Xbox 360s die, most within 30 days 3 different models. The latest 2 have lasted 4 years since. And I had maybe 2 people I knew that didn't have failures. Not to say my rural area is a cross section of all production, but it's really naive to say they were about on par After 2010/11 they are both rock solid probably equal.
  5. When YouTube is a money bleeding venture as it is that would collapse without Googles backing there isn't really a chance of a competitor arising
  6. My big problem with it is it has a hand full of Good stuff but it's full of shovel ware and was hung out to dry for its first two years and Nintendo still over prices it. They better learn with their next hardware release. Nintendo games aren't my big thing but I want star fox
  7. The only ground I'll give you on that is if I'm trying to push for people to know more I shouldn't be sarcastic The facts here are the vast vast vast majority of PS4 games are 1080p. The WIi u as far as I'm aware has 2 1080p 60 games and I'd assume it's less than 5, the ps4 has at least 30 and then more at 900 60. Nothing against Nintendo and Mario Kart 8 Bayonetta and most other first party non Zelda games being 720 60 is impressive for the hardware
  8. Most people who complain about resolution in regards to ps4 are simply ignorant. Not to say it's intensely powerful of beyond criticism, but that's not an alley to bark down. And quoting the total software numbers for a console is pretty silly, there are like 140 or so retail WIi u games and it's a known thing that it has a scarce library
  9. What it will do is upscale from variable resolutions like many current gen games do, but instead of dropping from 1080 down to 944 or so they will vary from 1080 to 4k depending on scene complexity. I absolutely think there will be 4k 3d games on it, not Witcher 3, but something like MGSV visuals or sports games
  10. This hasn't been the case for a very long time and probably wasn't ever. There are something like 11 ps4 games that aren't 1080p. And there are like 40~ 60fps games on it, I don't know if the WIi u even has 40 games.
  11. Graphics rendering is already a massively parallel operation, every triangle, every shadow every pixel is a parallel render, thats why GPU performance scales with core count unlike CPU perf
  12. So now do we sue them for the 660ti and 550ti? Those both had split memory busses with 1.5/2gb and 768/1gb in the main bus.
  13. Gotta fly in to point in that JB isn't a producer, skrillex and crew were the ones who propped that album up Biebs vocals are over produced and probably the weakest link in the album, probably could have been a good Justin Timberlake album or something, anyone who actually has a shred of charisma I don't hate him, but People are too quick to give him a pass all of a sudden. His singing really hasn't improved that much in the last couple years
  14. It's choosing to display what content you want to on your website Facebook isn't the internet, it's a company
  15. It's pretty likely that they are still safer than manual drivers I think it's going to become a reality that your insurance is going to go up if you want to continue driving in the coming decades.
  16. I think the pics are covering identifiers, done by the leakers Anyways 480 is basically bust unless Nvidia sticks to that 300$ number
  17. -Nintendo hardware hasn't been relevant for several generations, -The Nx Is an unknown value, it might still be some handheld hybrid at this point -we don't know if Nintendo will leave it out to dry for the first two years like Wii u There are more than enough reasons for me to be weary of the next Nintendo
  18. That's a tdp issue with the card, the game doesn't pull more power than furmark it can't There's something else going on with your system
  19. We know Konami did it with MGSV as far as inviting reviewers out to Europe for a "review event" where they had to write it on site and only could play the first 10hrs That's where all those 9/10s came from
  20. That's within 5-10% and a 490 could deliver more power and have a better cooler
  21. That means you can only "safely" pull 150, there isn't really a limit to how much you could pull through that connector, look at the 295X2 that pulled 550w through 2 eight pins (375)
  22. That's the ONLY way to review cards, you compare at highest settings to know worst case senario per game
  23. I'm disappointed honestly. Still might buy one, not sure now
  24. It's a zotac that boosts to above reference 1080 speed. 1304 or something mhz
