    Digital Foundry: Microsoft Xbox One X & S supports Freesync 2 [2017-04-11]

    I'm torn on features like these. On one hand, it's great because it can help preserve image consistency when frame rendering goes over budget, but on the other won't it sort of encourage the devs to care about stable framerate less? Especially on a console like Scorpio that - let's face it -...

    Middle Generation Console Upgrade Discussion [Scorpio, 4Pro]

    But based on what? Position of the controller's sticks sampled between 'real' frames? Motion vectors from previous frames, that would have been used for motion blur? If it's such an 'obvious' thing (that I thought of it) surely there's a game that uses it already, but I'm not aware of it.

    Middle Generation Console Upgrade Discussion [Scorpio, 4Pro]

    Eurogamer's article mentions framerate interpolation: Can someone in the know explain what they mean? AFAIK CPU is running the game logic, in particular issues the drawcalls according to how the scene changes from one frame to the next and then the GPU renders it. So how would a GPU run 2x as...

    Nintendo Switch Tech Speculation discussion

    An off-topic (not clocks related :)) question - is it known if the console can be connected to TV without the dock? I mean if it's selling point is that it's portable, it would be great if you could take it travelling and then connect it to whatever TV you have available at your destination...

    Nintendo Switch Tech Speculation discussion

    My thoughts exactly - they've built a mobile device, checked what sort of performance (clocks) they can get targeting specific battery life & thermals and then just increased the clocks accordingly for "docked" mode to facilitate rendering at 1080p as opposed to 720p when mobile. Sure, they...

    UC4: Best looking gameplay? *SPOILS*

    I knew it - Aloy is a robot! Just look at her plastic skin on the arm ;) :D BTW, my resolve to NOT upgrade by White PS4 to the Pro is being tested on a daily basis... :cry:

    PS4 Pro vs PS4 Graphical Comparison Thread

    You are aware that Evolution Studios were closed like half year ago and it's a miracle that we even got the PSVR version and additional city tracks recently, right?

    PS4 Pro Official Specifications (Codename NEO)

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that. But my understanding - perhaps wrong? - was that consoles struggle with proper AF because they need to share their finite bandwidth between CPU and GPU, so if there's some additional compression available on Polaris architecture, then more bandwidth would be left...

    Andrew House admits the PS4 Pro is a reaction to PC migration

    I think one of the misconceptions about House's quote is people assuming they want to prevent ALL hardcore console gamers to migrate to PCs, which is NOT the case. Obviously those that want the best graphics, resolutions and frame-rates will still get that only on the PC, but there's vast pool...

    PS4 Pro, checkerboard rendering

    Exactly, that is what's most interesting to me, especially with regards to possible improvements to anisotropic filtering - how much does Polaris texture compression contribute to lowering bandwidth requirements and could that "fried" bandwidth be used to bump the AF to 8-16x? EDIT: Ok, based...

    PS4 Pro Official Specifications (Codename NEO)

    I'd agree provided they'd be an important provider of streamed 4k content. However, I noticed they only mentioned Netflix & YouTube, while completely avoided referencing Playstation Vue. Also, I don't think they're in Apple's position in terms of being market leader and trend-setter... :)

    Sony Playstation Meeting September 7 2016 [PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Rumors, Speculations, and News]

    Yes, very good points. The question is, how much of CPU work can be offloaded to GPU, to enable the 60fps boost to 30fps titles? Also - quite weirdly - Jaguar clock speed is the only info that's missing from published specs, so there's hoping it got increased above the rumoured 2.1Ghz :) Unless...

    Sony Playstation Meeting September 7 2016 [PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Rumors, Speculations, and News]

    How? And why? :shock: Unless you play on some very weak PC? And even so, that actually contradicts what I've been trying to argue :-D
