| Intrinsic said: All I got from this post is that you didn't read/understand what i was saying to you and why. Nor have you taken the tim to read any more of the numerous bits of information I have put up here. But i am not going to argue with you. I will tell you one thing though... Downsampling (which is actually called supersampling in AA speak and is the most expensive type of AA) a game from 4k (8.2M+ pixels) to 480p (320k pixels) will require the post processing AA equivalent of over 64xMSAA. Running as much as 8xMSAA cripples most game engines. It will cost you less performance to up the rez of a game from 480p to 720p/1080p than to use 64XMSAA. Way, way, way, way less. And no one said games can't be playable at lower resolutions. That is not what this thread was about. What it was about was if lowering the rez could double the franerate amongst other things. And as for your opinions, well I am not arguing with them. Never was, so don't know why you are so salty. And your "opinions" of how games made today is bad and what you would rather play, again has nothing to do with this thread. So you may wanna keep those facts to yourself. Oh btw, 1080p@60fps with more post processing than you can wave a stick at. Guess even now there is s omething for everyone. |
Second reply of yours that misses the point congratulations! Of course I didnt understand because you replied with stuff that made no sense in relation to my comment.
I know about supersampling and downsampling I also know about AA etc. But you still needlessly explained that "AA is not a button press away" etc. You are the one not being able/willing to read what other people write.
I said something you said "misinformation" and argued because you read something between the lines I didnt even say or whatever. Thats why I said you should stop jumping to conclusions.
The reason why I listed those things is because I wanted to show you that whatever you call misinformation is either a fact or my opinion and neither misleading nor is it "Just so much misinformation"
I also never said that 64xMSAA or 8xMSAA is "cheaper than a higher resolution" etc. Again I still dont understand why you are arguing with me at all.
You again needlessly try to explain to me what supersampling is. I also never said supersampling is the perfect replacement for higher resolution or whatever you think I said (because there has to be a reason you keep talking about supersampling) I even said I prefer higher resolutions over lower resolutions any day.
And Again I never said I want a game to have so much AA it will look as crisp as a 1080p crisis I just said it would be sufficient at 576p with some AA in most cases (dont forget I said I prefer higher resolutions! just a reminder!)
I also never said anyone said "low res = unplayable". I just said that "576p with AA would be perfectly playable." its two completely different things.
So your "And no one said games can't be playable at lower resolutions. That is not what this thread was about." is again out of place
Its like me saying "I want apples for breakfast" and you explain to me how bananas are yellow etc.
And what does Mighty #9 have to do with this conversation?
Seriously I dont get what you want to say at all.
