    A "Perspective" on Nvidia's GameWorks

    Amd performance is inexplicably lower than on nvidia gpus of the same class, and at the heart of the problem lies the fact that they can't see the necessary code and optimize their drivers properly. It doesn't mater if they can see some code, or even most of it, if the part that they can't will...

    A "Perspective" on Nvidia's GameWorks

    Do you believe nvidia would still offer their services to ubisoft if amd users would have access to a second version of the game that works properly? What incentive would they have to affiliate with a publisher if they can't pay for an exclusive edge over their competitors?

    A "Perspective" on Nvidia's GameWorks

    It's only been a few days and I am already getting tired of this. What in front flipping HELL does Mantle have to do with anything? Mantle is an API specifically designed to reduce draw call overhead by only being coded for one GPU architecture and it's small variations. It doesn't work on...

    290 vs. 780 in Trine 2

    Thanks for your input. It was very insightful.

    At what resolution/AA amount does texture and edge shimmering become unnoticeable?

    Well my gpu doesn't support it, but the OP was hypothetical, anyway ... for now (I wasn't going to go balls out on high-res monitors and run them on a gimped out gtx 460 :P) I see there are a lot of recommendations for txaa, though. It does seem pretty effective at reducing motion aliasing...

    At what resolution/AA amount does texture and edge shimmering become unnoticeable?

    I think my question has more to do with display resolution than anti-aliasing, so I will put this here... So I've been messing around with large anti-aliasing samples in older games at 1080p and, to my surprise, I can still clearly see edge jittering and even some texture shimmer. My display is...

    Fx-9590 receives massive price cut

    If by "very marginal"you mean up to 25%, sure ... We'll go with that. Better to go for a processor that doesn't need more power with increased clocks, which is an actual, real thing that exists. General rules of thumb don't work all that well for devices that have a very wide variance in...

    "Hawaii's SPs are packed too tight"

    I realize my post came off a bit matter-of-factly, but I was really only trying to raise some talking points, not make definitive claims, or anything. Welp... to me this points to a colossal lack of perspective on AMD's part. It would have made a whole world of difference if they allowed OEMs...

    "Hawaii's SPs are packed too tight"

    "surprised nobody has slapped an accelero or something on 1 of these yet. I could swear that I've seen someone doing it ... As I remember, the bench showed the card running faster, too. Can't seem to find it on google, though... edit: No, wait, yeah ... it was right here on [H]...

    "Hawaii's SPs are packed too tight"

    So, ever since the official R9 290/x reviews have revealed that the Hawaii chips run very hot, there's been speculation that the reason this happens is because of how tightly packed together the GCN 1.1 stream processors are designed. The reasoning for this is, presumably, because the 290x...

    Intel's Iris Pro:

    Wow .. um... I haven't read the whole thread yet but ... I'm just gonna leave this question here ... Are we really congratulating intel for making an igpu that's around 20% faster on average than amd's last gen apu, while having the benefit of a gpu die that's almost as large as the hd7660d...

    W7 on-screen keyboard pops up from hiding when I open the magnifier

    Both the on-screen KB and the magnifier are embedded in the OS, so I figured I'd put this here instead of the general software forum. So I'm annoyed with how the virtual KB always pops up or maximizes whenever I start the magnifier program, which I need because I'm using a 32"TV at 8~9 feet...

    Intel-NVIDIA-AMD Linux Driver Performance

    Are there not more hardware-demanding games on linux that don't run at 200~700 frames per second? What's the point of benchmarking these games if none of them stress out any of the mid/high-end gpus?

    Bitcoin Discussion Thread

    Awesome, it works! I have managed to get the mem down to 400mhz, though it seems that it would easily go even lower than that (although I'm not completely sure that I want to yet) Does anyone know how high a card like this could go on the core without upping the voltage (in my particular...
