), cannot remember off the top of my head. AC:O is more-or-less the most demanding game currently out there.

Wow. Finally watched that last night.
It makes me wish that Halo/CoD hadn't turned shooters in the slow, duck and hide while your health recharges single player experiences that they mostly are today. Can't wait to play this.

Apparently my launch XB1 is only worth $90 as part of this deal....
Apparently when I looked on my phone, I clicked on the wrong spot -- it is apparently worth $200.

Where do you get those codes from?
Every 3-4 months Sony has been offering them as "bonuses" on their live.playstation.com -- haven't seen one in about 5 months.

This and Spiderman are my two big September games. That's my I want to finish God of War and Ghost Recon this month.
Me as well -- although I may not play Spider-Man at launch if I can't get another of those 20% off PSN codes...

I would need some data to know if this is true.
Click on any IGN or Gamespot review. Look at their picture on twitter. Try to find one person who has been doing reviews there for 10 years (let alone 20).

Easy Allies Reviews are good about avoiding this mostly.
Actually, I think the ones making money are streaming on twitch, rather than doing reviews on YouTube...

A couple of suggestions:
1) If your PSU is from 2011, I would be tempted to replace it. You might be OK, but it likely won't last for the life of the rest of the components
2) Consider getting a full Windows 10 license (rather than OEM)-- you will likely be able to use it for your next build too...

The games enthusiast press is mostly made up of kids in their 20s, who barely earn anything, who are constantly churned -- to ensure they stay cheap.
"Criticism", like that seen of other media, in games reviews on most of the big sites is mostly nonexistent. And its likely to stay that way as long as it is the purview of inexperienced, poorly paid 25-year olds.

This looks like a must buy.

hm...why does this actually looks like it would be fun
I hope to watch this later today.
The first game was really fun - I think it was underrated because everyone was expecting Fallout.
-
Almost never. I've played through Metal Gear Solid about 3 times... Can't think of anything else. Too many new games to play.

2)pretty sure we all agree on that aspect thats why Hitting 4k next gen wont really be an issue. We have enough horse power with todays tech to make next gen machines Humm in the impressions department. All they have to do is put in Ryzen cpu cores and a slightly upgraded gpu and next gen games will have DRAMATIC difference in performance. You guys are forgetting how fucking weak Jag cores are and the amazing things they are accomplishing with that weak shit.
On 7/30/2018 at 5:50 PM, TomCat said:2) not sure where you learned your info from but Jag cores ARE THE BIGGEST problem in current gen systems. Gpu has already proved that it can do 4k frame buffers with no problem. The problem that the gpu is having is that the Jag core cant provide it with info fast enough to maintain that 4k image at an acceptable frame rate. If you simply switched out the cores for ryzen cores these games would hit 4k60 with no problem. They are already doing it on the pc thats not designed to take advantage of a closed system. Running consoles with jag cores is like running a cpu system that has a 980ti and using core duo as the cpu
2 hours ago, TomCat said:@mikechorney is still incorrect. First I never said that the x gpu would be able to do games at ultra settings at 4k60. What i said was the gpu in the X is perfectly capable of doing games at 4k60. There are examples of that. I then said that the jaguar core is the weakest component in the X1X. I then stated that if you replaced the jaguar cores with Ryzen cores that games would EASILY hit 4k60. Lets use the Witcher 3 as an example. IT's runinning at 4k on the 1x with a varible framerate up to 60fps. If you simply just replace the Jag cores with Ryzen cores that game would run at a STEADY 4k60 all of the time. Thats all I said and you said if I believed that then I'm just trolling the thread
What are you saying then?
For the record, The Witcher 3 can run at 60fps on X1X -- at ~1300p (not 4k) a faster CPU won't increase the resolution back to 4k -- it's GPU constrained. But, if they lower the graphical settings (AA, shader quality,, LOD, shadow quality, polycount on models, etc) they could hit 4k60 if they wanted to.
But as, @Keyser_Soze said, no one can "fact check you" because there is no XB1X with a Ryzen 2 CPU in it.

1080ti pulls a 50+ fps average in 4k at the ultra defaults in AC:O, which I think may default to 4x AA (
), cannot remember off the top of my head. AC:O is more-or-less the most demanding game currently out there.
It has the 39 fps minimum... And IMHO, the "minimum" is really what you are shooting for when you say 4k/60 (i.e. can it reliably maintain 60 fps).
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti-benchmarks,review-4241.html
GTAV was about the same as AC:O
I take your point about AA not being as important as the rendering resolution gets higher.
-
I think there are a lot of newer AAA games that a 1080Ti will fail to maintain a 4k minimum framerate of 60fps at the highest quality settings. There are also, clearly, a number of games where it can.)
-
I suspect that there will be a LOT of PS4 bundles this fall -- no one wants to be caught with the old stock (that doesn't include a game) at the same price.

So what its the same principle. games that are running at a certain resolution getting a Frame Rate boost from simply changing the Cpu. Something you said wasnt possible and I was Trolling when I said that
No. I said the Xbox1X GPU wasn't capable of doing 4k60/Ultra on most games. Because the games are GPU constrained.
At 1080p, any game on XB1X running sub-60fps is likely CPU constrained.
4k requires ~4x the amount of GPU power as 1080p -- but minimal extra CPU performance.

Interesting. Publishers are continuing to try and avoid paying the 30% online store tax....

Now listen to what DF is saying about an improvement to the Jag cpu and tell me I'm still wrong simply moving to a ryzen cpu allows the games to jump to 60fps
Those games aren't running at 4k. They are running at 1080p.

The non-Ti 1180 will be faster than the 1080 Ti and likely will cost less... that one is “weeks away”.
Why would you get a 1080 Ti when the base 1180 will be better? The 980 was significantly faster than the 780 Ti, the 1080 was significantly faster than the 980 Ti.
Until a replacement releases, the 1180 will indeed be the “flagship”, just as the 780 was a flagship, just as the 980 was a flagship.
If you’re looking for something to hold you over until an 1180 Ti variant releases (which is an extremely different question) then I’d recommend looking at a second-hand 1070-1080 to hold you over... but the best value proposition is to wait a few weeks and get an 1180 at launch.
One way to interpret the rumours is that the flagship (referred to as the 1180+) will be launching concurrent with the other GPUs this time:
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1180 (30th August Release Date)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1180+ (30th September Release Date)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1170 (30th September Release Date)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1160 (30th October Release Date)
You're absolutely right -- I would anticipate that even the "1170" would give the 1080Ti a run for its money...
-
For the record, I always heard them referred to as:
"Nintendo" and "Super Nintendo" -- I didn't hear them called "NES" and "SNES" (however you want to pronounce them) until much later.
Why would you get a 1080 Ti when the base 1180 will be better? The 980 was significantly faster than the 780 Ti, the 1080 was significantly faster than the 980 Ti.
BEST OPEN WORLD DEV
in The Spawn Point
Posted
I think we've got a combination of developers/publishers in the list...
My favourites:
Rockstar San Diego
Ubisoft Montreal
Guerilla Games
Rockstar North (I will give GTAV another go, but I bounced off of it relatively quickly...)
Surprised to not see CD Project Red on the list...
Editted because I am an idiot:
Playground Games clearly makes the best open world games.
