I've been playing video games for almost 20 years now, but I am sad to say that I know very little about graphics of consoles. I'm the kind of person who says stuff like, "The graphics look good; the graphics look bad; the graphics look ok." I don't understand when people post about graphics and say things like "The textures in that game don't look good."
What are textures? Textures are what make up the surfaces of objects in game. When someone is saying the textures look bad they mean the walls, ground, etc look bland and boring. The only thing I really understand are things like 8-bit and 16-bit etc. I mean is the GPU all that matters in producing graphics or are there are alot of other things also? The GPU is a major factor but the processor and amount of random access memory (ram) plays a factor. The stronger the processor the more physics based graphics and effects can be seen and rendered. More ram there becomes more the ability to have more content on screen at once versus having to reload textures and models. So I was hoping someone could give me a good website where it would explain all the different kinds of things about graphics and gpus etc or if someone would like to try to explain it to me on here. I know I only listed a few things, but I am curious about everything that goes into it. Thanks for the help.
Edit: just realized that I put this under "sales discussion" and not "gaming discussion" can I change that somehow? No
