Carmack's brain has been occupied outside the realm of gaming/engine development for some time now, which is reflected in his sale of Id to Zenimax/Bethesda in the first place. If it isn't amateur aeronautics, speculative hardware engineering, or VR, he isn't interested. Which I think is...

When can we expect to see a Mantle performance demonstration? They must have some tech demos, and possibly third parties working on software that takes advantage of Mantle that have their own tech demos illustrating performance benefits.

Strange. The tech is neat, but I fail to see it's utility in a phone. Phones keep getting bigger and more ungainly and everyone LOVES it. So this is sure to be a win though everyone will be hard pressed to explain exactly why. We are converging towards the lauded Zach Morris status symbol...

The cost differential is negligible as is the performance. If you can get a better deal on one or the other should be the deciding factor. There is no performance difference.

AMD doesn't have to beat any NVIDIA card, they simply have to do what they do best: Provide a card that performs favorably at it's price-point in comparison to NVIDIA's offering. Blowing over 500 dollars on a video card is a fools game. The difference between todays 200-dollar card and todays...

Interesting. While the merits of 9xxx FX chips is beyond questionable at the current price point, this does suggest possible FX chips in the future in line with the drastic 9xxx price drop in certain regions. Honestly, an 8320 is the only price-performance piece from AMD right now, but it...

By 'controller' they are referring to the usb host device which is essentially an external sound card.

This is great. AMD and Radeon have been undervalued. Their CPU's are more versatile and they have a long term goal they are working towards and forcing the rest of the industry to coincide: moving controllers on die and removing communication overhead between cpu/memory/gpu. They are starting...

I'm gonna call BS on the validity of this 'leak'. Is GDDR5 dirt cheap all of a sudden? 6GB on the high-end and 5GB (that's a weird number) on the upper-middle? It's a waste of resource and money and won't impact the performance of the card beyond 2 GB for 99 percent of uses. Save that 6GB...

kinggravesGabe doesn't seem to even comprehend the differences between consoles and PCs. Important factors for consoles are things like simplicity, accessibility, pricing. This doesn't sound like it will hit any of those factors. The average console player isn't looking to buy 8 TVs to play a...

adgfrgerr54Fallout 3 was awesome, new vegas was awesome as well but to me it just didnt have that fresh feeling like 3 did rantocHaven't had a single crash/freeze/whatever on any Fallout game nor in Skyrim to date. According to Steam its a tad over 300 hrs played total in Fallout 3 and New Vegas...

yzfr1guyR U Kidding me M.M.? Ram is dirt cheap. I welcome the PS4 as I loves me some Playstation gameplay, to h3ll with Microshaft RexBox! 16 GB of RAM is pointless. My PC has 16 as Newegg gave me a free set of 8GB sticks with my build order, but I was kinda like...what the heck am I possibly...
