I read MS is releasing a new developer kit that will take care of the 1080p issues and allow developers to hit 1080 regularly.. Funny enough you never hear about Ps4's network wifi only being able to do 2ghz.. while Xbox one can do 2ghz & 5ghz channels. Yes, In a protected LABORATORY setting there is no diffference. But in the REAL WORLD ENVIROMENT 2gz channels have tons of saturation and interference because everything from cell phones to microwave ovens interfere with these channels. Also 5Ghz channels only go about 200 feet tops ( useable ) where as 2Ghz goes up to 800 Feet. Many people using wireless routers never hit peak speeds because they actually get interference from the neighbors. Because 5ghz doesnt go as far and because channels ( bands ) on 5ghz routers are spaced further apart ( in example 36,44,48, 96 ...etc ) then 2ghz channels which are much closer ( which go channels 1,2,3,4,5 etc ) there is a slower negotiated speed on 2ghz channels. I have a newer Asus router that does both bands simultaneously. My ISP package provides 50 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up... I can switch my smartphone from 2ghz to 5ghz and see a huge difference. In 2Ghz mode I can hit maybe 17 Mps down top ... Remember this is wireless.... and over wireless 5Ghz I can hit over 50 Mbps download very consistently. I've also done the same on my PC. If anyone types in command prompt ( windows ) " netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid" The above - it'll show neighbors channels - so you can change your routers channels to something further away from what your neighbors use.... people will realise just how much saturation there is when you pick up neighbors in cities and especially bad in apartments, condos, townhomes.. Even doing this I can never get 2Ghz devices to even half the speed of 5gz ones.. |
Probably cause no one ever talks about that lol, I mean I never seen ANYONE on the net talk about that lol
