GTX 980 / 970 Discussion

Aww yeah Everquest Next come on! Played EverQuest for 11 years every night!

When are the reviews due to be listed? 8am?

 

[chaparral]

I left the 48k spectrum and Atari ST out........

 

[SkeeterUK]

Hmm linus mod comp has be thinking of a small mod i might do on my case. Namely the spectrum colors in one corner lol. Simple and cheap mod.

 

[humbug]

OCUK on the left, NVidia stream on the top right, Scottish Referendum on the bottom right.

Same

 

[stulid]

Jen is on the galaxies stream

My god the lol im having with the water physx stuff. The goo gun, the angle and the trajctory, porn...

Dynamic Super Resolution : = 4K resolution then downsampled onto a 1080P monitor.

MFAA = MSAA without performance hit, 4 X MFAA = 4 X MSAA but with just 2X AA performance hit.

 

[SkeeterUK]

A separate thread about the streams would have been better imo.

 

[stulid]

Nope.

Keep it all in one thread.

 

[SkeeterUK]

Not sure what MFAA is for, its gona be post processing aint it basically FXAA or SMAA etc?

Also why maxwell only, i highly doubt the card has tech on it that enables this mfaa compared to kepler cards. Bet my 670 could do MFAA, theres probably a sales reason to keep it to the new cards?

Also why not improve TXAA, would have been nice if they developed it so it was less a performance drag.

Edit - you say its msaa without the perf hit, mfaa. From what i gather it was 4x msaa but at 2x msaa perf so its halfed the perf but it still has a perf hit just not as much as 4x msaa.

Just like SMAA Ultra then.

 

[stulid]

Maxwell improves latency for VR.

 

[inverseSquare]

MFAA could be an adaptive pixel sampling system?

Or maybe it's temporally sampled?


Interesting performance games

 

[SkeeterUK]

Pff ooculus, google cardboard is where its at. Want a better vr performance well when you upgrade ur phone ur vr will improve.

Anyhow.. Back to stream.

 

[Rroff]

IIRC maxwell has hardware changes for MFAA that allow for pixel sampling with less overhead.

 

[inverseSquare]

Hmm, Real-time GI lighting?

 

[Dicehunter]

I wonder if Dynamic Super Resolution can be done via a driver update for 780/Ti/Titan/Titan Black seeing as it is really just a software feature and downsampling can be done already.

 

[inverseSquare]

VXGI = Voxel-based Global Illumination


(Dynamic (no baking), 1 bounce lighting calc)

Was worried for a moment when he said Voxels. was expecting him to show off Comanche.

Did wonder, when he said 'minecraft' how many people thought: "hmm, that's not photo-realistic"
