AMD GPU14 Tech Event Sept 25 - AMD Hawiian Islands

[Revolution 11]

There talking about hair ?

I was simply referring to TressFX. Hair is ok, grass would be great.

To see authentic waving grass as the wind picks up is something games still don't do a great job in.

So one new GPU and rest is rebrand. And then some audio crap is all we got. :|

And in terms of TressFX, even the PS4 uses APEX instead.

Since there was no new process, and they were just trying to compete with the 780, I definitely expected this. This is more of a stop gap due to Nvidia doing the same thing.

no

 

[exar333]

Pointless banter, move along...

Poorly scripted to boot.

Let's move on to the real stuff.

 

[Arkadrel]

Lichdom sounds kinda epic.

but again... this should be about GPUs right? and so far the most exciteing thing there has been this game announcement.

Ok thanks.

 

[Gloomy]

No we wouldn't because I still haven't gotten an answer to my question. What does this do that a soundcard (there are many options) cannot when games are not using lossless audio.

If you had been paying attention, the sound engine can't run on the current cards because of reasons, so they need AMD to step in and be their savior and provide hardware only they can

 

[Keysplayr]

Switching it off. I'll get the notes tomorrow. It's like a funeral in that room.

 

[wand3r3r]

They're just bsing about a game (lichdom). It's quite boring.

... finishing up with that.

Most PC gamers are using their laptop speakers or 2.0 headphones/speakers. Most 'PC' speakers are trash. Real audiophiles already have good equipment. This is a non-starter IMHO.

Yeah sadly Klipsch doesn't make the Ultra 5.1s anymore. I love mine and dunno what I'd do if they went out. Well, yes I do but it would be a lot more money than I paid for these.

 

[Olikan]

Ye, I dont understand the focus from both companies on hair either.

...so you want high grass realism, but plastic hair?

 

[Sohaltang]

"I promise you will feel EPIC"

 

[heaver]

What? Nobody I know who is serious about gaming would touch a VR headset with a 10ft pole.

not yet...do u think people want stuff and companies give it to them?? ermmm NO!

companies push shit and make you want it. maybe u'll never end up buying it, but there's a lot of people that will.

notice that i never said that it's a good or bad thing. Just that's whats being pushed...such as wearables in tech like smartwatches and google glass...people never wanted that shit...theyre making people want it

 

[Face2Face]

EPIC the most overused word... Die already..

 

[monstercameron]

the live view numbers are tanking...lychdom y u so bad.

Have you actually tried the Oculus Rift? So far, people seem very interested in it. Maybe just the people you know don't care. I am guessing it is not a lot of people.

Most PC gamers are using their laptop speakers or 2.0 headphones/speakers. Most 'PC' speakers are trash. Real audiophiles already have good equipment. This is a non-starter IMHO.

The TrueAudio guy made a big deal about this working on stereo or headphones, exactly what you said most gamers have. So it will help them, if not people with better setups.

...so you want high grass realism, but plastic hair?

If it was between one or the other, I will always take grass. Lot more of it in a game.

 

[wand3r3r]

the live view numbers are tanking...lychdom y u so bad.

27k to 24k during audio... 24 to 23 during lichdom

 

[sontin]

Was this game not released 10 years ago?

 

[ShintaiDK]

...so you want high grass realism, but plastic hair?

In terms of priorities. I would easily pick the grass before hair. And TressFX is not exactly realistic. Plenty of examples where its more unrealistic due to sloppy coding.

 

[PingviN]

LOL at the one dude applauding!

 

[cmdrdredd]

EPIC the most overused word... Die already..

Too right you are.

I think people forgot the real meaning of the word and toss it out to make something sound cool when it may or may not actually be.

 

[wand3r3r]

Raja? is back, gpu & software
ahh some1 else first

 

[Gloomy]

Indian dude needs to be the face of AMD.

 

[Elixer]

If they really wanted to do some good sound stuff, they would get Chris Roberts on there, and show off some game play.

We need epic space battles.

 

[Sohaltang]

Next segment.. this graphics performance thing.. I like Indian dude
