It seems like they're awfully concerned not to hurt console babbies' feelings, although I'm not sure if they're just parroting the same nonsense every dev blabs when asked about this stuff, or if they've truly sold out.

>In a CRT, the scan rate is controlled by the vertical blanking signal generated by the video controller, ordering the monitor to position the beam at the upper left corner of the raster, ready to paint another frame. It is limited by the monitor's maximum horizontal scan rate and the resolution, since higher resolution means more scan lines.

>The refresh rate can be calculated from the horizontal scan rate by dividing the scanning frequency by the number of horizontal lines multiplied by 1.05 (since about 5% of the time it takes to scan the screen is spent moving the electron beam back to the top[citation needed]). For instance, a monitor with a horizontal scanning frequency of 96 kHz at a resolution of 1280 × 1024 results in a refresh rate of 96,000 / (1024 × 1.05) ≈ 89 Hz (rounded down).

If anyone blames game developers for the shitty performance of next gen consoles with their DDR5 they should be beaten with a hose.

They were doomed from the start, developers are the ones taking shit for it, and that's not right. Sony and MS deserve the abuse.

>>284451216
Technical aspects are always secondary to CDPR, all platforms. Hence the pretty games that run like shit on most machines.
>>
>>284451216
>"technical aspects are kind of secondary."
You know something, I really fucking hate marketing speech. I hate that you can't call a duck what it is, a goddamn duck.

The PS4 and Xbone are packing hardware that was incredibly outdated on its release, and every passing year they're getting left behind at an almost hilarious rate. And despite this fact people continue to say 30fps is better than 60, the human eye can't register 1080p, and every other similar statement to avoid addressing the elephant in the room.

And the best part? At the start of the gen everyone and their mother were hyping the PS4 and Xbone as tremendous graphical powerhouses that could blow a six-million dollar PC out of the water, the "perfect PC". Then it went to "well consoles will optimize better as time goes on", now it's "graphics don't matter" despite them apparently mattering very much at E3.

No because I'm not so fucking autistic that I need to spend more money to have a game look and run slightly better than my console.

I pay 400$, it plugs right into my TV, and has zero problems. Anyone who tries to say for a second you haven't ever had hardware compatibility issues or had to spend time installing patches and fixes for a computer is bullshitting you.

Adults don't have this kind of time. It isn't a dick waving contest. If I want to play a game, I can just buy the game at a store and put the disc into my PS4 and I'm playing within 5 minutes.

Publishers and devs will never call consoles for what they are because they risk losing MS and Sony's patronage and financial support.

/v/ thinks PC’s have better capability of graphics, better FPS rate, sound.. Everything.
Let me tell you why this is complete bullshit.

Microsoft and Sony spend literally hundreads of thousands of $’s putting technology in to each and every Xbox and PS. Because they know what equipment they are using is the best technology available in todays market that will work in a machine without blowing up or over-heating too quick.

Where-as with a PC, you’d have to go out and buy a new graphics card just to enhance graphics. You think that’ll improve the game when in fact I’tll make your game shit. The reason the game has that style of graphics is because that’s the best it’ll run at. If you try and improve the graphics on the game, it’ll be too much data for the game to hold, and therefore it’ll make the game run slower than before and worse for your time playing it. Which means the money you’ve spent on the graphics card was a complete waste of time.

Xbox One and PS4 have got the everything it needs to make sure the games you play, will be the best way to play them. I seriously can’t understand how anyone can think PC’s are better than consoles.

Pirated games or games that are more than 15 years old, then yeah, I usually spend an hour or so getting them to work.

You know, I'd normally be laughing at this post, but I just noticed something

Getting your own PC parts and assemble it and making it work it's like eating healthy food. You're in control on what you have, and you can change it if you don't like it, or if you want to experience something more

Consoles are like going to KFC to eat whatever they throw at your face. Also, you have tendency to develop shit taste

>Are you shitposting? Forced first run installations have been common since the PS3 for a lot of games.

So you aren't aware the the PS4 install times are under 5 minutes once you put in the disk because it only installs the parts you need when you're playing? And installs the rest in the background?

And you tell me I have a bad picture of how PCs work? Get fucked.

DVI, Display Port, and HDMI are all digital. DisplayPort and HDMI have built-in audio. The newest standard specs for both allow 4K 60fps video, though adoption of the spec on TVs is taking a while.

Pretty much every PC graphics card comes with at least one DisplayPort (or mini DP) and one HDMI, so I can hook up a PC to a TV just as easily as I can hook up a console. Just throw a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and a PS4 controller or Xbox wireless controller adapter into the mix and you suddenly have controller controls for most games. Not just make Steam start automatically on Windows and you've got a gaming box hooked up to your TV. Add a shortcut to Kodi (XBMC) to Steam and you now have a media playback and gaming center, set up much better than any console, hooked up to your TV.

It's not a big deal even for high-end gaming but it's worth noting. Buying two is stupid but with a single one you will probably not ever experience the issue.

Note how nobody noticed it for half a year yet millions bought it.

I think that is the thing that irritates me the most about the shitposting, everyone acts like this was readly known information since the card was released when It wasn't even revealed until a guy posted a benchmark he did to test the card.

If it wasn't posted everybody would have still been recommending it as the best card for the value alongside the 290x.

>>284458215
there's still no compelling reason to upgrade from an i5 2500k to a 4690k

What bugs me is that the performance was and still is good in almost any gaming situation but people were saying it was a bad card.

Do you really care that much about PhysX? Even if you do, not many games support gpu-powered PhysX (BL2, Mirror's Edge, and the Batman games are the only ones I can think of), and outside of Mirror's Edge or other games that combine cloth physics with bullet physics the improvements are minimal.

>If I want to play a game, I can just buy the game at a store and put the disc into my PS4
again wrong, since there's no fucking games worth your time on ps4 that aren't infinitely better on a pc of the same price

yes, but the particular configuration nvidia used made that last .5 render the card useless to those that needed it.

this isn't so much of a problem, look at the 660ti, the 550ti - except that the speed difference didn't impact performance like it did with the 970.

The game isn't even out yet. Saying it's "nvidia optimized" or listening to the-way-it's-meant-to-be-played marketing is outdated.

Wait until the benchmarks come out before assuming anything. Hell, wait a week or two after that since both Nvidia and AMD often release new drivers with optimized profiles for new games.

For general performance, Bus Speed is more important than clock speed. The instruction set extensions are also important but if you buy something new you don't have to worry about it.

Emulation of last-gen consoles is interesting in that is strongly relies on every aspect of power of a CPU. Bus speed, clock speed, and optimization through instruction set extensions like SSE, are all extremely important.

>Okay shitheads, let me give you a rundown on why this neutered computer that can do only one thing, at a quarter of the power, for only half the price is way fucking better than a PC:
>YOU CAN JUST PLUG IT INTO THE TV AND PLAY IT!

That PC vs console "discussions" still come up on this board is fucking baffling.

Translation: we're sacrificing performance for graphical fidelity and blaming it on the hardware.

Why does /v/ like CD Projekt again?

Preemptively dismissing anything that doesn't fit your narrative. Are you in politics?

Tell me, for what reason could CD Projekt have for knocking the framerate in the console versions?

The hardware is capable of high framerates, don't let shitposters fool you. It's the developers who are at fault for not getting the game to run that well.

So what are they doing that means the game can't run at high framerates?

>you’d have to go out and buy a new graphics card just to enhance graphics. You think that’ll improve the game when in fact I’tll make your game shit
Looking better makes the game worse?
>it’ll be too much data for the game to hold, and therefore it’ll make the game run slower than before
Thats what the upgrade was for any 100+ GPU in the market will run almost every game maxed at a decent framerate and by decent I mean better than console standards

To keep their PCuck audience happy so they call them "Based as fuck," and buy their games.

They didn't knock it, it's always been 30fps.

>Adults don't have this kind of time.

It's an hours worth of your time to set it up the first time, maybe more if it's babby's first PC build. After that the only inside work You'd ever need to do is the weekly or biweekly dusting and maybe a biannual reapplying of the thermal paste.

You have have great performance genuinly have a pretty good time with most games on PC. Just because it demands a bit more time into does not mean it's a "Dick Waving Contest" or something only ManChildren do.

Also

Jesus fuck is there even a single piece of evidence for the idea that it's the fault of developers?

Because if you want to argue the opposite way and say it's because next gen console hardware is shit there's plenty of evidence for that

yes, but remember that it's an already outdated hardware and CDP wants to push it to the limits, so it's obvious that that difference will exist.

yes man, that is totally the reason. You're really smart

When the fuck are the 3xx cards coming out?

>>284461985
Because it's running on a console and looks great? Visually it's a fuckton better than any other open world console game.

It doesn't even run at 30fps most of the time either, well it didn't at E3.

It's worked so far.
