| Chazore said: Is it wrong to have issues with some of their software?. Titan X isn't the end all to be all either from what I've seen, especially from some sporting dual Titan X's for some benchmarks of multiplat console ports, the GTX 980 is still seen and also advertised as a high end card compared to the 960-70 series, I definitely don't expect them to do 4k but I do expect them to handle the majority of games at higher settings at 1080p 60fps, like I have seen in previous benches for other games beforehand. YOu don't see people egtting up in arms because you're not looking, nor does it sound like you'd ever want to. It's illogical to me to pay £50-700+ for a new high end GPU only for it to get tanekd thanks to some crammed in effects that don't really justify the really high price point, especially if the gain's aren't massive in a big "omg this was well worth me paying nearly 1k for", which we still aren't seeing much of from these console ports thus far. I've just looked recently into Hitman DX 11-12 benches and haven['t seen insane gains, looked at comparisons to the visuals of PC-PS4-X1, no huge night and day differences there either and you think it;s perfectly logical to demand imaginary power for very little differences for console ports to PC?. You know back when Crysis came out there wasn't that much new end hw coming out to quickly change how tanked people's rigs were getting, times have changed and it's become a better game for Nvidia to just keep throwing out more premium cards that add little gains each time rather than massive leaps each time, do you honestly think it;s perfectly fine each time to keep bringing out new hardware to forcefully cripple it and throw us back into the stone age each and every time?. I don't need hair FX to get the "best" version though that's the thing. I want to get the experiences I pay for, if I buy their upcoming flagship and find it crippled the same way as a 980 thanks to come console ports then you're damn right I'm going to complain. I don't buy premium products and experiences if all they are going to do is be constantly crap each and every time, this is more or less why I;m looking into moving over to AMD and watching Vulkan and Steam OS grow. I'll tell you this though, you and I definitely aren't going to agree and it;s likely going to be the same situation you had with the Prof in a thread a few days back on the Division's FX. |
Performance wise ? Only a programmer with access to the source code would know ...
The GTX 980 is high end but it's already 1 & 1/2 year old, just don't expect to always get 1080p60fps down the road or even some games before it like Crysis 3. Almost everyone I know buys videocards for how well they perform at LAUNCH, not how well they will age ...
Whether the "difference" was worth it or not comes down to each person, personally speaking if I thought like that I wouldn't have built my new PC ...
Cripple how exactly ? With the demanding effects ? Then just turn it off, lord knows I hate PCSS cause I think it makes shadows look worse but I just turn it off and move on ...
So your definition of best is "optimized" console ports without the GameWorks ? Ok fair enough but I think having highest quality visuals is what constitutes the best in terms of technicals ...
I'm justified in my view and similarily the same goes to you but in the end it's a choice that the developers pit against gamers ...
