If you are watching those videos on an SDR screen then the HDR labelled side is showing SDR and the SDR side is showing way, way below SDR.

Wouldn't most 3D game sessions or augmented reality apps which are extremely popular at the moment count as a sustained workload scenario well past 8 seconds. An 8 second test does not represent what a very large amount of users do on phones. Those users would care about what performance is for...

The Jaguar was by far my favourite console and I still have a few but the majority of the games are rubbish. One of the problems was the lack of storage space on the cartridges. It really should have come with the CD add-on as default.

No I wasn’t alone my partner was with me and I had our torch. It was far too bright for a firefly and too short lived not to mention to large a room. The lights appeared in corners and vanished in seconds it was like short flashes. It happened in two locations the 2nd time it happened was on...

Not sure about ghosts but I have experienced things I cannot explain. Two of the bigger ones was exploring some old ruins and small globes of light appeared, light up the room and vanished a dozen times. Old monk abbey so no power lines or other source of light we could find. One room it...

Are NVidia really a different source when they are using the same source as everyone else just trying to pass it off as their own? As far as I can see all those Tegra 3, 4 and K1 automotive solutions are not really NVidia technology nor NVidia software. It’s all Mobileye’s EyeQ3 hardware with...

NVidia seem to be a bit sneaky here. They have attached a Mobileye’s chip to many of there own car solutions and its really the Mobileye’s doing the driving not the Tegra chip for many versions. The Audi prototype that recently completed a 550 mile piloted drive from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas...

Making the environments traversible in 3D looks to have ruined the game for me. Its very unlikely I will be buying this one even in a sale now due to that change :(

While searching for ray tracing news I stumbled across this patent by Imagination Technologies published this month. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8970591.html Anyone been to GDC and the ray tracing talks? Anything new or interesting from any of the company's in this area?

What if its doing all that for less energy drain and better power efficiency while at a lower Mhz rating and pumping out less heat?

I suggest you read up on IMG some more, for example. "have you ever worked for a GPU vendor ? I did and I can tell as a fact that marketing is as much important (even sometimes more) than engineering. New features request are from management, sales and marketing teams, then engineers are in...

I more wonder are Arm, Intel, AMD and NV prepared for the change in landscape once mobile real time ray tracing arrives. It’s getting closer by the day and now Unreal 4.5 engine support it, Unity is adding support the only thing missing is the mobile GPU that is getting closer. Personally I...

What about Windows XP 64-bit I remember using that for a long time. Separate release form Win XP.

Not sure it really matters but I haven’t seen anyone ask how Apple got the Series 6XT GPU out in a product so fast. Didn’t the Series 6XT only get announced January 6 2014? That gives it barely a 9 month cycle time from finished IP to product? How has Apple done this? So what do we think...

Both me and my brother where bitterly disappointed with it for multiplayer. Then we turned off city creation and it became x10 more fun. The DLC fixed the lack of buildings as well. Still not as good as Age of Wonders 2 as spells are weak and specializations seem to be mostly pointless and I do...
