they are not judging it exactly, just giving their opinion based on what sony talked about. just assumptions and speculations.
No, for shadows and ambient occlusion (cheaper than reflections) as wired article informed
True downgraded, i want realistic games next gen. I hope this time they do
Ever since AMD gave a preview of what their RT hardware would look like, we knew it would be more mild than Turing, and certainly whatever Ampere has in store.
Just read it. Right observation. I am just scratching my head here just as to why even when the previous article was published they used the buzzword to describe it. And again they are skeptical what next-gen can achieve.
RAM is based on the E3 video which showed what looked to be a 10 chip set up with 1GB and 2GB chips at 14GBps.
I agree. Maybe its because I am in an ill-informed position, but I am yet to see something using RT that makes me go "damn, i need this". The best looking stuff I have seen isn't using RT.
Yes and No. yes it wilbe enough in the ame way 500GB HDDs was enough at the start of this gen. Not all games will be eating up 100GB+. But no it won't be enough if you want your console to e a game jukebox. You will have to do some data management.
Don't forget the whole data duplication thing.
Ryzen's are also known for liking that bandwidth to pull the best out of
This might precisely be it. Sony with the slightest edge over Scarlett
My interpretation is that, the flute leak showed 18gbps
More than 10TF IMO. But who knows if the flute bandwidth is what we'll get in the retail unit.
This is the first gen where the likes of Digital Foundry seem to genuinely have no idea about the intricate details of these consoles. The nearest we have to any sort of confirmation is PS5 using a 1TB SSD.
With the Scars RAM... how are they getting 16GB of RAM on a 320-bit bus? 320-bit bus suggests 10 RAM chips. So the only way they get 16GB is with a mixture of RAM sizes.
Slower RAM(14Gbs + Wider Bus(320-bit) vs Faster RAM(16Gbs) + Narrower bus (256-bit).
I'm expecting heavily hybridized solutions for RT next-gen. More focused on accurate behavior and placement without the need for baking than a huge quality jump.
Don't know, but its two 32-bit controllers less. We had a measurement on hereon the GPU components but i can't find it so that could be a great reference.
It'll be most beneficial for devs and their development process. That will trickle down to us in other ways like games potentially coming out sooner.
MS had shown us in the CGI trailer a mixture of 1GB and 2GB chips, 10 of those means anything between 11GB and 19GB of GDDR6 in Scarlett unless they will decide to downgrade to just 1GB chips (which will never happen) or just 2GB (which might happen).
Flute implies a 256-bit bus with 16GB of 18Gbps GDDR6, MS CGI trailer from E3 implies a 320-bit bus with 10GB-20GB of 14Gbps GDDR6.
320-bit vs 256-bit should be ~20mm^2 on the die.
