There goes my Freesync single GPU 4K Dream

[frozentundra123456]

Was thinking of going Fury X ($650) + Samsung UE850 4K 32" IPS 4K Freesync monitor ($1399) = $2050. But it would need to be able to hit 40fps minimum to sync with the monitor in Freesync.

Alternative is SLI 980 Ti ($1300) + Acer B326HK 4K 32" IPS monitor $(700-750) = $2000-2050 which costs about the same, but needs multi-GPU game support and much more power to achieve the 60fps to sync with the monitor.

But it looks like according to official slides the card is barely managing high 30s fps in Witcher 3. And that's average framerates--minimums will dip well below the Freesync threshold. 40fps 4K single card + Freesync still looks like a bit of a pipe dream at this point, especially as games get more demanding.

Source?? If reliable, looks pretty good for Fury. Equal or up to 10% faster than 980 Ti at the same price point. Not an nVidia killer, but definitely competitive.

That's a marketing slide that shows the Fury in its best form.
They take the best settings and the games that play best on their card and make a chart like this to slow the competitions sales down.
Usually because they are not ready to release their card yet.
Company's always do that.
Look at chart in a week when you read reviews and I'll bet half of those wins will be erased. :thumbsup:

Didn't I just read somewhere, that due to missing HDMI 2.0 we won't see >30 fps in 4k. Red Herring?

 

[Nhirlathothep]

30 fps for you.

cheers!

Of course. That is why I was asking about the source of the benchmarks. I too am taking everything with reservations until we see data from independent reviews.

Is that 23ms the response time?

And why the talk about TVs. They aren't meant for computer gaming and don't have freesync or G-sync

Going 4K is asking for trouble. You can max out 1440p if you get over the 4K hype and bragging rights.

Why can't I game with a 23 ms response time again?
And not even a majority of this forum have freesync/gsync lol....

This is getting pathetic the lengths people have to go through to discredit gaming on a TV despite the fact that more people use a TV than monitor

It's not about discrediting. Or demeaning or anything. This is not personal.

If the trend continues, I think we'll see TVs with Freesync and Gsync and DP ports and many other features that have typically been the domain of monitors.

But also, I don't think more people use a TV than a monitor. I think a lot of people use TVs recently as they have improved greatly. But it's a niche because the average consumer associates computers with a monitor and Best Buy isn't likely to upsell a 4K tv with someone's new GPU purchase...

Well I do think a lot more people are gaming from the couch or recliner with a controller than hunched over a keyboard at a desk anymore. I know I've been playing from my tv for the past year or so now.

Could the Steam HW stats get us closer to the truth and away from personal and subjektive views?

There are many playing on the TV (not 4K for now) using a console. I play on PC with monitor and on TV mostly with the PS4. I also have an avg. gaming performance HTPC ( w/ 7950) to team up w/ my gf in WoT, BF3 or CSGO. The TV and monitors also do stereoscopic 3D.

I don't think there's a way to track whether you are on a TV or traditional monitor or the control method.
