Yeah, but this person thought 4 and 8K video was all that mattered.
Why the fuck he think 8K video is important but not games is beyond me. How many have an 8K display? How many have 8K content to watch? How many would suffer with settling for 4K content right now?
An affordable video card is totally capable of outputting 4k
So where are those sub-$100 Pascal-based videocards?

No need to buy a graphics card at all for 4K playback.
The card is designed for data mining and neural network research; it's not for games or even remotely intended to be used for them.
Bullshit.
http://www.geforce.com/hardwar... "With the DNA of the worldâ(TM)s fastest supercomputer and the soul of NVIDIA® Keplerâ architecture, GeForce® GTX TITAN GPU is a revolution in PC gaming performance."
I admit I don't completely know who they focus on with the Titan cards. 10-11 Tflops single precision performance with this one. 317-343 Gflops double precision. 159-171 Gflops half precision (shouldn't that one be higher?)
I don't really know where the Titan cards fall between the consumer cards and the professional cards. Once re-released as the GTX 1080Ti it will definitely be a gamers card.
I guess without further evidence saying "yes it is!" is just as good as saying "no it isn't!"
It's an expensive gaming card but those who want this performance now only have this option.
An affordable video card is totally capable of outputting 4k or even 8k video with no problem.
Encoding that or playing video games or using it for totally unrelated things is a different story though.
As you're posting as AC maybe you don't even WANT an answer. And now when you will likely get multiple will that help educate you and reconsider? Not likely. Because it's not a card FOR YOU and that's all that matter for you. That doesn't mean it's useless for everyone else.
Of course people will buy this and can afford it.
A friend just bought a GTX 1080 and a 34" 21:9 100 Hz G-sync screen (and the rest of the computer including the much more expensive Samsung Pro 950 drive and he will likely end up having the HTC Vive or another VR product too), he can afford this. Do he need this? NEED? Guess no. But of course not being able to pull off 4K gaming is an issue for him and as such the plan have seemed to included two GTX 1080 though I think it's better with one card which mean that he actually "need" something BETTER than this. Maybe this get close to 60 FPS gaming on 4K though.
but the cooling tower will be the size of a small house.
You do realize the actual cooler is on the picture in the article right? http://hothardware.com/Content... And that it's part of the card which fit in some case (standards for graphics card lengths I'm unaware off, fit on a mini-ITX board a possible exception.)
A family of mice or small snakes or some small fishes I guess.
Perfect? We don't even have any proof that it would even be possible to travel backwards in time!
My other post made it a "maybe" whereas this one is a "not as far as we know." I remember seeing something likely here on Slashdot which if true / suggested it wouldn't be possible. But maybe that's not proven either. Maybe it have to be perfect once in use but currently it's less about perfecting it and more about (not) being capable to do it at all.
If you drop a phone face-first on a flat surface then the bezel will hit first and the force will be spread out across the entire bezel. If you drop a phone corner-first on a flat surface then all the force has to be distributed from that one corner, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it went through the screen.
Well. Good for them their name isn't Cornering Gorilla Glass then now isn't it?
"Super shatter-proof glass 5, only breaks ever second-fourth time!" (Here I wanted to account for less precise falls..)
It's totally not an analog keyboard. It's a keyboard with an analog joystick for the thumb.
I meant analog WASD input so you for instance didn't had to hit the walk key (or crouch) and change the outcome like that but rather could just push down the key a little to walk slowly.
I'm not sure the thumb joystick is as precise, maybe it is.
I went to a nearby closed food store and meet three male kids walking with their phones up talking about where they should go.... maybe they were just taking a stroll and had to discuss where they should go next and held their phones like all kids do.. or they played the game.
It's been pretty obvious to me that Nintendo's value is in it's IP, not it's hardware. Games on other systems, movies, tv etc. are where the growth is.
Unless you only care about looking at plain text, most "special" contrast settings kill the color accuracy.
I didn't even consider dynamic contrast. I assume I wouldn't use it. I can't really know what he mean with "super contrast."
Normal IPS and TN panels top out at around 1000:1 contrast and the VA ones on 3000:1. Out in the real world the difference is much much much much larger than that. The contrast on the displays is shit relative the real world and the eyes can handle that pretty well.
You're correct in that for a calibrated IPS screen the contrast usually ends up being more in the 700-800:1 range rather than the 1000:1 one. Even worse relative reality when it comes to contrast and I can't see how his eyes wouldn't be able to handle that. Maybe he speak about inaccurate colors in some mode which maximizes contrast as you suggest (and as such maybe it wasn't about dynamic contrast either but just about maximum contrast value at the cost of color accuracy.)
Personally I would have wanted to have the more correct colors I guess and would have had to live with 800:1 contrast which would be low and poor but it is what those screens can deliver.
The 360 controller isn't made to be used with one hand though.
It would better be some joystick with multiple buttons for the fingers or whatever. But I think a four button layout for directions is ok too but they could be analog.
Maybe something like a flater trackball with buttons around it?
But well, maybe joystick with buttons for all fingers are best combined with mouse, one got room for lots of buttons on the mouse too anyway.
The average PC yes. The average PC gamer doesn't have RX 480 performance either.
However the RX 480 is having the graphical performance of about one of the most bought graphics cards for those who built new machines for gaming.
I guess the PS4 Neo may end up performing just above RX 480. What's interesting is that they are shooting for 4K, are accepting lower resolutions but not as low as WQHD and also demand higher frame-rates than the PS4 1080p or lower resolution version of the game. To get close to or 4K performance out of the a 6 gflops card you need to do something intelligent and I can only assume that will help with performance on the PC too.
Personally I wonder if I should pick up a used i7 2600K rather than an i7 6700K since it cost like 1/4 as much and perform 1/4 worse..
Slashdot Mirror
But that's not $100 or even $150 territory for those who want it.
But there's the RX 480, 470 and 460 for them so far. But I can only assume Nvidia will release cards for that market too.
Nvidia have cheap cards in that category.
I assume you'll see a GTX 1050 at some time too.
Trump rule.
Or well. Will rule. <3
I love it. Give me European Hitler and remove Kebab.

So read it again:
I didn't see the "video" at the end of his comment. Since we're talking about GPUs I assumed we were talking about 4K gaming.
"An affordable video card is totally capable of outputting 4k or even 8k video"
There's little reason to release sub $100 cards.
For those purposes you've got integrated graphics.

The idea with the more professional card is to hit 5+ Tflops of couble precision performance?

Wow, why all the hate?
This dude has a sweet home theatre room complete with a pile of Tribbles in the corner.
Be happy for the guy!
Those Tribbles are trouble.

"Super shatter-proof glass 5, only breaks ever second-fourth time!" (Here I wanted to account for less precise falls ..)
You meant to say kittens.
Also what does "up to 80%" mean?
Altogether it mean that "sometimes it will survive the fall!"
Like a Logitech g13?
That's exactly what it is...
It's totally not an analog keyboard. It's a keyboard with an analog joystick for the thumb.
I meant analog WASD input so you for instance didn't had to hit the walk key (or crouch) and change the outcome like that but rather could just push down the key a little to walk slowly.
I'm not sure the thumb joystick is as precise, maybe it is.
I assume there's some joysticks with buttons on the shaft too.

Games would of course also need to either have native support or mappaple support for it.
Seriously, who plays that game and why?
I went to a nearby closed food store and meet three male kids walking with their phones up talking about where they should go. ... maybe they were just taking a stroll and had to discuss where they should go next and held their phones like all kids do .. or they played the game.
