True. Alpha effects were not generally stressed as much with 1st party PS3 titles, IIRC. 3rd party and 1st party X360 titles cut alpha effects down to the size of the X360's eDRAM. Besides alpha effects, what else can you think of that was greatly limited GPU bandwidth. Also, what effects do...

To get maximum performance, Cell required work to be done in parallel. On that point alone, parallel work is the only way to get maximum performance out of multiple cores. You could be correct on the GPU, potentially, being bandwidth limit (in certain cases). Seeing a lot of top PS3 GDC tech...

Sony, also, has that crazy powerful SPU-like 3D audio Tempest Engine (that can also be used for some traditionally CPU processing).

Indeed. It was such an overpowered CPU, for that time period. Was there a GPU, during that time period (2006), that wouldn't have been GPU limited (when matched with the Cell)?

A lot of people actually think the UE5 demo had no ray tracing in it, so who knows what was meant?

Jump to around the 30 minute mark. It seems this approach, from GG, runs into a ton of flushes.

Did someone mention they released DLNA (MKV) compatibility, as well? The conference absolutely floored most people. It was like a dream list for a lot of people, over the years.

If asking focused questions is your definition of "attitude", I guess you would be correct. You seem to want to stick with Lair, after I mentioned "all the Madden games" of that time (first 3 years?). I said "etc", but the truth is that is was a LOT of the games within the first 3 years of the...

Please explain why you believe certain games "aren't suppose to push to envelope". This is based on what exactly? If they aren't suppose to push the envelope, why aren't you talking about the game developer's engines? Other games, that are possibly pushing developers' current knowledge of the...

Please explain what you were experiencing less than two years in, last gen, that was so stable. Lair (because I was experiencing those performance issues)? Personally, this gen's issues seem more like PC-type issues (microstuttering and the like). It's obvious that developers need more time...

Remember, this is only the beginning. This is, also, only launching in three cities right now. This, currently, works with PS3 and PS4. I don't think it would've been smart to let Sling TV be in the market ALONE for long. ;) It was a good decision, by Sony, to launch now. As far as pricing...

Are you saying an engineering company, like Sony, are in the business of wasting APU space on optimizations that "don't really matter" (especially 4x the amount of async compute pipelines)? That doesn't seem logical. These consoles are quite quiet and a LOT cooler than last gen launch...

Yes. 35mm film is about the equivalent to 4K resolution. 70mm is twice that (8K).

That's not really accurate. A lot of people could tell Ryse wasn't native 1080p, unless they were looking at something other than a full frame image.

Isn't it a lot early, to think that won't happen by GT7? :D
