    Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion Archive [2014]

    A stuttering framerate is mostly down to the game programming or some odd driver issue, it is also not something limited to PC. Games like Mass Effect on xbox 360, KOTOR 1 and 2 on OG Xbox have large stuttering problems themselves. The reason games like NWN have problems is due to their engine...

    Wii U hardware discussion and investigation *rename

    Nothing says that the karts in Mario Kart (nor the players in COD) have the same CPU load as the cars in NFS (and you are also ignoring the traffic in NFS). That is also before taking into account the different CPU loads each of them have before dealing with cars/karts/guys with guns and thus...

    *split* multiplatform console-world problems + Image Quality Debate

    Too bad it is bullshit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muVv3FU_ShQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=1110 (If you go back a little bit in this video it confirms that the texture on the ground is in fact a strange, moving texture on the PS4 and thus a bug). EDIT: First video looks like it might in...

    News & Rumors: Xbox One (codename Durango)

    Just because Kinect comes with the console does not mean that people have to think it is worth the extra, I am not sure where you are getting 8GB of NAND from (I have not heard about it having that) it is not like it would cost much anyway and subjectively liking the design (of a big black box...

    Xbox One (Durango) Technical hardware investigation

    I can not remember, but it was from the last few weeks (I think) and it was an in car shot at Laguna Seca (this is the image I saw, I did not care to look to much into it).

    Xbox One (Durango) Technical hardware investigation

    He is not saying anything about the "quality" of the pixels! Some screen shots of Forza 5 do seem to have lower than native res (1080P) elements. The screen shots came from direct capture footage (and are marred by some compression), but some area's of the shots are clearly lower than native...

    Viability of a MIPS64/ARM64 based console?

    I would say the newer ARM cores would do fine in a console, but they might need a bit better SIMD. The PPC cores that every console has used have not been that crash hot.

    What is not funny is the idiots that believe crap like that.

    AMD: Volcanic Islands R1100/1200 (8***/9*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

    Yeah, why is that website saying GDDR5 when the picture clearly lists DDR3 controllers?

    Is UE4 indicative of the sacrifices devs will have to make on consoles next gen?

    The HD7970M is likely rated faster than the PS4 GPU, 2.17 TFLOPS vs 1.84 TFLOPS, less TMUs and ROPs (at least based on the VG leaks info). It does not matter how many threads PC games have now, PC games are not going to hold back to 2 threads (a lot already use more). Also funny how the...

    Is UE4 indicative of the sacrifices devs will have to make on consoles next gen?

    Other than the fact Passmark is full of shit (showing that they do not even have SLI support with a GTX570 beating a GTX590 and a GTX670 beating a GTX690 and the clearly wrong CPU bench they have that shows just about 100% Hyperthreaded scaling) Even from the Passmark numbers the GTX680 is...

    Sim City is back in 2013!

    Steam games save locally, they just have an option of also upload the saves to steams servers as a backup and for easy use on an other computer, nothing like forcing you to have the saves online! The DRM forces you to be online to play, Steam cloud saves do not. It is not matter if your PC is...
