Star Trek : Legacy is a real-time tactics/space combat video game in 3D. I really quite enjoyed it.
From what we know so far of DX12 is that it is a low level API is all about reducing CPU overhead + multithreading. As this console gen is just as...

Actually Defrag on Windows 8 and 8.1 run a free space TRIM when optimization runs on a SSD.
I also hope they rework the combat system. In AC4 I really felt the burden of 'every fight feels the same feeling'!
Glad this is a next gen only title..... graphics look rather good (game at ALPHA quality code) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQng7EkJHOI...
GTC Keynote states that is had NVLINK (a new GPU-GPU link) and 3D Memory (Stacked DRAM). Is this GPU a replacement or renamed Volta?
Volta appears to be moving all the VRAM off the PCB and onto a Interposer near the GPU silicon die.
The major benefits of lower overhead draw-calls in Mantle is better frame times in *CPU limited* situations (with less of a performance benefit...
Having a single unified pool of memory to manage was the most requested feature from developers according to Sony. So my question is what would...
Received 500 errors both on the front page and the forums front page (both this evening).
Unlikely to work as the PS4 outputs 5.1 and that converter will not downmix 5.1 channels to 2.0 Stereo. PS3 supported LCPM 5.1 downmix to 2.0...
You could try an Injector (or RadeonPro) to force SMAA for FXAA. Personally I disabled the built in post AA added FXAA and then used...
Great article PeterT, I really enjoyed it :). It was super nice reading a front page article again.
Just wanted to say that AC4 has excellent SLI scaling on my 680 SLI setup. Which is so much better than much more disappointing AC3 SLI scaling.

Indeed their might be significant work spent optimising a PC centric code base for the new consoles. But I still maintain this would be much...
Being 75% through the main game and I don't feel like an 'Assassin' and am feeling complete ambivalence toward the Templars. AC4 has done nothing...
Other *potential* rip-offs are Season Passes. Several times I have purchased a season pass (expecting to receive all DLC content for a game only...
Bold mine..... I absolutely agree. Dead Space 3 and Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag recently have the added additional 'grind' to 'nudge' the player...
Backwards compatibility via emulation/virtualisation has only been really supported by Microsoft and Sony during the early life of a console new...
Adaptive Vsync just disables vsync when fps drops below refresh. It's g-sync that will be the real dynamic vsync ;-)
Amazon just confirmed my PS4 Gamer Pack has been dispatched...... and with a £900 tax rebate - I have just setup a new Onkyo TX-NR626 AV Receiver,...
It has been great hearing the passion in his voice return during recent interviews. Working on the low-level tech at Oculus seams to be a great...
Steam just unlocked the game here in the UK a few days early :-)
Thanks patsu. LPCM could be 2ch, 5.1ch or 7.1ch! I which they labelled it like the PS3 did!
Sound Settings >> Audio Output Settings. Both HDMI and Optical Digital by default support 'Linear PCM 2Ch. 44hz' etc on PS3. I'm using the...
Q: Does the PS4 support down-mixing 5.1 channels to 2 channel stereo? As I currently use this function on my PS3.
The reality is if process technology's were not slowing down/getting more expensive then we would have much faster CPUs and GPUs every 12-18...
Any idea if the PS4 will support down-mixing 5.1 channels to 2 channel stereo? As I currently use this on PS3.

Could someone expand what TMAA is?

Is there particularly bad scaling (as number of SMX's increase) to warrant a 10 SMX part that's boosts to 1200Mhz? Had anyone done any analysis...
I'm sure if lifetime is a consideration MS would choose eMLC or SLC NAND. Also if standard MLC is used then they could have more than 8GB with...
Interesting Read. Thanks for posting.
Just finished Metro Last Light.... absolutely loved it. Great gameplay and atmosphere :-)

Sweet...... Metro Last Light just unlocked on Steam ;)
What is really annoying is that buying a game on Steam -> Nested Uplay -> Type Steam Code into UPlay = special version of Uplay for this title....
Doesn't look like it :(
Just played the for about an hour. Really Loving the old school nature. Great atmosphere too. This game rocks ;)
It's also releasing on Steam (some don't like Uplay). The title music is here - sounds cool to me ;) :...
