Man, why settle for 8k when you could be downsampling from 16k? Don't let this fine TV go to waste. :) (Edit: Make sure to click 'view original'. The original link timed out.)

For what it's worth, it's quite easy to test whether the game is CPU bound by simply lowering the rendering resolution. BFV can be made to run at just 320x180 by setting the display to 720p and resolution scale to 25%. I won't speak for the 7700k but my own i7-3770 is entirely thread bound...

PrimoCache is easily my preferred solution over SRT and StoreMI. The latter two are both great solutions (and everyone should use them if they can) but Primo is in a league of its own when it comes to customizabiliity. StoreMI seemingly only supports RAM as a read cache, for example, and SRT...

Switch is still relatively new. Nintendo likely had no idea that they would grow so popular and the supply constraints have largely disappeared by now. PS4/Xbox One have been easy to find since the initial launch period and the same is true of both PS4 Pro and One X. The lack of Polaris GPUs...

Great argument. It does nothing to address what I wrote. I've been on these forums longer than you have. I lost my old account because my ISP shut down. And, no, they're not all scarce. I just looked up the stock in my local stores and every one of them has 1070/1080/1080Ti cards in stock...

For all this talk of nvidia's anticompetitive practices, I really have to question why nobody ever mentions AMD's own scarcity when it comes to their GPUs. They have some of the most sought-after GPUs in history (due to mining) and Polaris GPUs are still nowhere to be found almost two years...

Not to take away from his credit but Sousa joined id Software less than two years before the game came out.

If you also have Chrome installed then you can see all your currently running browsers' memory consumption by typing chrome://memory-redirect/ in the address bar. If your Firefox process is close to the 2GB limit then the 64-bit version is likely to fix that problem.

Firefox is actually the only major browser that does benefit from being a 64-bit application. Chrome, IE, Opera, and Safari all use a separate-process-per-tab model whereas Firefox only has a single process to contain all open tabs. If you have, say, 30 open tabs then it's not uncommon to...

You're confusing religious belief with poor character. Toxic people always find ways to justify their behaviors. It's why they're so hard to get rid of.

Seems like a decent enough card but 2GB is completely unacceptable. AC: Unity needs a minimum of 3GB to be playable at 1080p (with everything on low) and there will be countless cross-platform games coming out with similar framebuffer needs. Just going from 720p to 1080p adds ~500mb to the...

[H] needs to review its guidelines. Modern games like ACU can use an absolutely enormous amount of VRAM for its buffers where just going from 720p to 1080p needs an additional ~500mb of memory. Going from low to medium textures needs an additional ~600mb as well and means that combined they...

Depends how you define 'similar'. Watch_Dogs sees ~40% better performance on low-end CPUs when coupled with a Geforce over a Radeon. Dead Rising 3 (another draw call heavy game) more than doubles performance under the same scenario while CoD can see a ~60% improvement. These aren't small...

Er, the consoles are both AMD based from top to bottom. No, the problem is likely that AMD have yet to properly implement deferred contexts / multithreaded rendering into their Windows driver. The new Call of Duty, Dead Rising 3, and Watch Dogs all exhibit that same behavior on high-end AMD...

The average PS4 game uses in excess of 5GB of total memory. 3.5GB may be dedicated to video memory and 2GB to system memory. A PC with 2GB of video memory and 4 GB of system memory will push the remaining 1.5GB of video memory into system memory. System memory is now consuming 3.5GB...
