48 fps = 96 fps. uh what?

Wow, if that becomes a thing I might have to switch back to AMD.. that's amazing

Anything you can do i can do better?

 

No really, if AMD do it, so will NVIDIA.

Nah it won't be an amd-exclusive feature, but the devs need to support it.

Either way, I was with Nvidia for my past 4 graphics cards and I switched to AMD recently, no regrets so far. Went from a 970 to a 290X and I get 15 more FPS in some games.

Yeah, if AMD invents stuff, Nvidia buys it.

Let's hope they do, I prefer nvidia. (Pls dont start red vs green war)

Other way around for me. Had horrible experiences with AMD. Been with nvidia for over a year now, never had problems

Every time mentions the red or the green i cringe

 

let's not go there.

course.

 

Well 24fps in each eye is 24fps at the source isn't it?

 

this whole "in each eye" thing sounds like crap to me.

its not crap, thats how 3d movies work. In a regular 3d movie the silly glasses block out every other frame for the alternate eye, every second, your right eye sees 24 frames and your left eye sees 24 different frames. that means that 48 frames were displayed in a second -> 48fps, but you only perceived 24fps

 

the new high frame rate 3d movies show 96 frames per second on the screen, but the glasses split out every other frame so your left eye sees 48 frames and your right eye sees 48 different frames. So you see the movie as if it was 48 fps.

Hmmm. All three of the previous cards (9800GT, GTX 260, GTX 660) Died on me within a 3 year margin. Bought a 970, decided to sell it after 3 months and get a cheaper (at least in Poland) 290X and it performs better.

Well what I said is kinda true. AMD Invented HBM, Nvidia bought it from them so they can use it in Pascal. Nvidia didn't even invent SLI ^^ They bought a company that did and branded it as Nvidia

okay right. Shows that i give no craps about 3d, and don't know how it works.

 

but now you know

 

This thread has really just turned into a "talk about whatever" now

Well I got 3 broken AMD gpu's in less than 1 year. 3 years is very long imho. I'd replace it faster than it would break

There are manufacturers like MSI or Gigabyte that give 3 years long warranty. The card is not supposed to completely break during that period of time.

Granted, but I got 3 broken in a year and my nvidia is older than a year now. It all boils down to personal experience with them anyway

Really its just a scam to try to justify $14.50 movie tickets. You could go on 5 movie dates with popcorn and drinks or just buy a flat-screen and watch movies on popcorn time every night for a month

I guess so ^^ I just felt cheated after getting a 970 and finding out about the lower specs of 970's issue, then about Maxwell being unable to use Async Computing properly.

[Master Disaster]

Yes but the point they were saying is, many theatres are showing the 48fps movie at 24fps 3d, instead of at 48fps 3d

 

technically the film is being played twice, its passive 3d, so each eye sees alternate frames, so to get the film to play at 48fps, they have to run the projector at 96FPS

 

so a 48fps projector showing 3d, only shows 24fps to each eye in passive 3d

 

a 96fps projector showing 3d shows 48fps to each eye in passive 3d

 

This, its a side by side image (SBS), one for the left eye and one for the right eye. If each image is displayed at HFR then yes, the poster is indeed correct.

I'm reading some of the tech horror in http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/34813-experiences-with-non-techies

 

Just. How...

They run 18 way SLI with the Titan X. Ive seen it with my own eyes the left and the right one.

Yes

 

Apparently my cinema releases schedules on the wednesday of each week, the day before the movie! I have be reloading that page every 10 seconds for an entire day.

 

And the funny thing is. I will.
