Dual GPU Battle: GTX 980 Ti SLI vs. Radeon R9 Fury X Crossfire
jjslash writes: High-end GPU parts from Nvidia and AMD are plenty fast, these days. While top-end cards from both can provide playable performance at 4K, many games dip down to and below 30fps. Folks looking to achieve smooth 4K gameplay will undoubtedly be eyeing dual GTX 980 Ti or Fury X cards to realize their PC gaming machine's full potential. TechSpot puts both cards to the test in SLI and Crossfire modes, at stock and overclocked speeds in over 10 games to see who gets the bragging rights. As it turns out, AMD has a tiny advantage in average frame rates. The two split wins on frame time, but AMD won by bigger margins. When the cards get overclocked, Nvidia is the clear winner, and power consumption favors Nvidia as well.
I agree. When monitors are 40 or 50 inch, then 4K will make sense for gaming. I just don't see it now. You need a lot of screen real estate to take advantage of that many pixels.
If that were true, then there would be no need for Anti Aliasing...
Since there is, then your point is simply incorrect...
Until there is no need for AA, then the resolution isn't high enough.
More pixels per inch means better resolution with less detail-killing antialiasing. Back when resolutions over 1600x1200 were a lot I used to regularly get kills on people who couldn't even see me yet in FPSes because I had a big fancy .22 pitch monitor.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
