That is one odd thing, Sony has not mentioned what their OS resource reservations are for PS5. Nor have any of those details leaked.
Anyone with VR will go for higher FPS.
Ah yes, forgot about them folks.
I think that's too much of an ask from AMD. As well as creating RDNA2, they are supposed to create two branches of RDNA1 for the consoles? With the efficiency of RDNA2? We also had AMD say the next-gen consoles are using their latest GPU architecture. I think an absence of VRS HW on PS5 would either have to be because RDNA2 doesn't have it, or because Sony took it out, which is pretty nonsensical. Ergo I think the HW is in there, and either it's present as a feature but not talked about, or prohibited as a feature on a software level. Those seem some fairly straight-forward scenarios versus the somewhat convoluted alternatives.
Fair enough, SDK is incomplete is probably the correct answer if it’s not there currently. Features can arrive at later dates even after launch as they pull back more resources for developers as time goes on.
I’m not sure to be honest. Occam’s is not applying here. The simplest most straight forward answer was for both to use AMD. Sony is quiet, for something that they don’t need to be legally, and MS rolled their own.
Um...has MS told us they have audio hardware decompression or anything? AFAIK they've just said they have audio HW. I don't think lack of info at this point is really indicative of anything. That is, I don't think everything said so far is everything there is. I'm not aware of where Sony have skirted around the question. Maybe if there's a clear quoted example, we can see if they are being elusive or not.
They current support 3D encoding/decoding for Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic and in the future DTS:X.
and they have their project acoustics. That’s pretty much all I could find on audio.
Tier 2 isn't really much of a benefit, unless we think that RDNA2 isn't tier 2, and I find that hard to believe.
Was hoping someone who read it could see what it would provide beyond what we know of any standard implementation, efficiency, wider grid selection etc.
Maybe like you say it's just teir 2 but handling some kind of edge case better. Hardly worth trumpeting the fact it's patented, but then again why not.
T2 has a huge benefit over tier 1.
being able to use an image to determine shading areas is a massive improvement over selecting an arbitrary area. It allows
For fine grained VRS to be applied in areas only specifically where it should be.
In order for your card to be certified DX12U - it must support Tier 2. Tier 1 is insufficient.
That's why my opinion is that the 60hz framerate should be a mandate, and this would naturally create a new bar for graphics.
This hole conundrum happens because developers cannot behave themselves. The entire PS3/x360 generation was a disgrace aside from some developers.
Yep that's my point I expect RDNA2 to be teir 2.
Actually forgot about that, be a bigger fail for amd if RDNA2 isn't DX12U, in fact I find that impossible to even consider. (until it happens
)Reporters will eat every bit of sh*t the big developers gives them in the hopes for good access on futures titles. Its all about clicks, and it behaves like a snow ball. Big developers are more responsible for this.
RDNA 2 is DX12U. That’s the confusing part. Either it’s not ready in time. Or it wasn’t enough for MSYep that's my point I expect RDNA2 to be teir 2.

What makes you think it wasn't enough for MS?
Brain fart regarding DX12U (put it down to the crazy heat having in UK)
That's why I said previously that RDNA2 has VRS, and why i expect PS5 to also.
For me it's more so about what if anything the patent provides, as if it's in hardware i expect it to be a customization of RDNA2 more so than a replacement
Possibly the fact that Microsoft has their own patented VRS implementation. ?
Is that hardware though? I'm imagining a situation where MS's DX API enables VRS as long as the hardware has it. The hardware can then support VRS on MS platforms, but other platforms won't be able to use that hardware unless they can get around MS's patents.
I'm unfamiliar with the content of said patents. You just see, "MS have VRS patented," and we all know that the same ideas manage to get used elsewhere despite patents, so the existence of patents doesn't stop the concept being elsewhere; it's the content of those patents that may or may not stop VRS being used.
