Nvidia DSR and modern games

This "input lag" may have something to do with insufficient mouse sensivity/DPI setting when operating at x times higher than normal res

[Business Korea] Nvidia dumping TSMC in favor of Samsung

Could this be what Kepler patent trolling was all about? To get a better deal on samsung finfets?

Sapphire r290 TRI-X OC low performance problem

Forget about MSAA in crysis 3, it has insane performance overhead. SMAA4 adds 2x msaa too, so try 2TX. Also it's very likely to have CPU ceiling in some areas, because the game loves Hyper-threading.

wccftech:AMD Fiji XT Leaked For The Third Time On Zauba 20nm Looks Promising

I think they don't need a major GCN redesign, but rather do some gaming specific bumps (ala Tonga's improved Tesselator, Fast Conservative Rasterization etc.) and grow further in compute superiority. They simply can not compete with gk104/gm204-style designs directly without making a fully...

I think you went too harsh on 290X here, probably because of the lack of personal experience with the card. Fully dynamic clock engine alone is a huge improvement, i still enjoy how stutter free and power efficient the card performs at variable clocks. And raw rendering power is still enough to...

AMD Special Edition Driver: Catalyst Omega

Disappointed in VSR. I have SXGA 1280x1024 display (placeholder until Freesync IPS) connected via VGA-HDMI converter (that is also adding 1920x1080 res) and all VSR gives me is some 1800x1440 and 2048x1536 which is not even my aspect ratio. Also when i actually choose those resolutions in game...

GTX 970/980 owners thread

What card model do you use? Many non reference cards come with super alloy chokes that should deal with coil whine, unless it's not helping on high OC...

Disappointed in Nvidia DSR - introduces blur

I always thought that even normal downsampling looks blurry, probably because of cheap driver-level scaling algorithm. On the other hand Lanczos in Gedosato looks really crisp, but also less smooth than bilinear/bicubic. I can't imagine how Nvidia's DSR can be less compromising than any other...

Mantle implementation in BF4, is it broken?

Do you have more job threads in DX11? If not, i don't think you should mess with those things, job threads doesn't have to be equal to core or thread count. On my i5 i have 3 job threads and i'm not complaining about performance, though i know that on 4C/8T i7 you can have 4 job threads. FX has...

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

So can you provide any info about AA options/performance and vram usage?

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

He's talking about more generic stuff, they have physx middleware integrated deeply inside their engine, but what i'm talking about is how bad advanced physx effects like particles, fluids, etc. optimized for cpu/software mode. In more recent interview he's saying that you would need an extreme...

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

True, but developers don't bother to optimize physx effects for CPU, Metro LL runs terribly in CPU mode, it's not even saturating single core while runs in pretty much sub 10 or sub 20 fps when you trigger the particles or enter some area with fluids, and they stated themselves that all physx...

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

Don't get me wrong, i'm a huge fan of XXXsampling things, but in case of TW2 it's smooth, but definitely blurry and not crisp http://solidlystated.com/software/the-witcher-2-ubersampling-comparison/

What do you think the Witcher 3 will take to run ?

There were rumors that the game has 8x MSAA and we already now that their engine supports forward+ rendering which should give MSAA a boost. Still it would be nice to have some hybrid mode with temporal smaa and 2x-4x msaa like in crysis 3, but without horrible sharpening filter. I'm a bit...

Xfx r9-290a-edbd

Judging by reviews XFX DD is a decent cooler if you don't care about the temps and maximum OC as long as it stays quiet, it also has more closed air flow design than Windforce or Tri-X. Now about Windforce, yes, it should be less restrictive in terms of overclock and temps, but i believe it...
