Not sure about leaked clocks, but I'm starting to think that performance boost in current games will be 20-30%...which is not so great tbh.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm very excited to see where having tensor cores, and ray tracing hardware, packed in with CUDA cores, can take us.
Denoising, audio processing, DLAA, variable rate shading, and who knows what else.
Moore's law may be dead, but that doesn't mean we can't go places with intelligent software/hardware architectures.

Yeah, those are all clever things, but as someone already pointed out, that is all in the future... I don't think we'll see any of that actually used much for years.
Honestly, can't wait to see first benchmarks, cause I have this feeling they won't be very exciting.

Eh, I get you, but I want to see what else they have in store for games first.

I also have a few questions I want answered before I make a judgement.
Are we getting an improvement to delta colour compression?
How do these cores handle async compute workloads compared to Pascal?
Are we getting mixed precision compute, and will the work being done for Switch, Vega, Intel and PS4 Pro positively affect Turing's performance?
Will the cache changes positively affect performance in modern, unoptimised titles?

I'm optimistic about the future, but I don't think that'll cost us today.
I am however, waiting for benchmarks.

You are?. I mean, I'd want to be, but seeing where game desgin goes these days and how it has to run on consoles, I honestly don't see myself caring about tech I'll never be able to see, because it'd make the other closed off boxes look bad if a PC had it designed for them and used for first.

I'd be absolutely down for it if we saw many devs making games with real time ray tracing in mind for PC versions or primarily for PC made games. Just not later or after consoles get it first, because I'm honestly tired of the whole "avoid upsetting the special snowflake in the room" routine we've been having for years and years. 

Ka-pi96 said: 'sup doods? Here to ask for some advice (like the only thing I come to the thread for ) How can I set up separate sound output for a multi-screen setup? I've got my PC hooked up to my monitor and my TV, but I want separate sound coming out of my TV to what's coming out of my PC speakers rather than all one one and none on the other. I had it working (by accident) the other day so I'm trying to figure out how to intentionally make it happen.

What is exactly the scenario here?

Do you want sound from one application be heard on TV but not on the speakers? To you want to have different applications be either locked to PC speakers or TV? Do you just want a specific application sometimes play on TV and sometimes on the speakers?

Ugh, it's Monday. I guess I have to make the news, right? Oh, great! It turns out that there's a lot of them... >.>

Valve launches streaming website Steam.tv, promptly un-launches it (Updated)
https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-launches-streaming-website-steamtv/
Earlier today, a tweet from Pavel Djundik pointed us to the domain Steam.tv, but at that time it was a blank site which simply read "Welcome to Steam.tv." A glance at the certificate showed it to be a legitimate Valve website, which was curious, but not quite enough to report. While we've suspected that Valve has Twitch dreams in its eyes, all we could do was speculate.
Update: A Valve rep has confirmed that Steam.tv is real, it's in testing, and you weren't supposed to see it. "We are working on updating Steam Broadcasting for the Main Event of The International, Dota 2’s annual tournament," the rep said. "What people saw was a test feed that was inadvertently made public."

Battlefield 5 may support real-time ray tracing via NVIDIA’s RTX technology
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/battlefield-5-may-support-real-time-ray-tracing-via-nvidia-rtx-technology/
So far, we know that Metro Exodus will be among the first new titles that will support real-time ray tracing. And while there are hints that Final Fantasy XV may also support it via Vulkan, PCGamesHardware has discovered a clear indication of Battlefield 5 supporting real-time ray tracing.
PCGamesHardware used this console command in the alpha version of Battlefield 5: “Render.DrawScreenInfo 1”. This command displays at the top an overview of all the necessary technical details when running Battlefield 5 and at the end of it, we can clearly see the reference to “Raytrace.”

A bunch of PS3 oldies now work via RPCS3, including 2012's SSX, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Resistance 3, Sonic Unleashed (oh no) and MotorStorm: Apocalypse.

New Quake 2 screenshots showcase improved high quality 3D weapon models
https://www.dsogaming.com/screenshot-news/new-quake-2-screenshots-showcase-improved-high-quality-3d-weapon-models/
Modder ‘Turic’ has released some new screenshots from his Quake 2 Weapons Remodel mod for id Software’s classic shooter. These new screenshots showcase some tweaked/improved models for the rail gun, the shotgun and the rocker launcher.
In case you weren’t aware of, Turic aims to remake all the Quake 2 weapons models. The new high quality models feature better textures, more polygons and better animations. After this project is complete, Turic may also remake the enemy models. And that is something that I’m personally really looking forward to.

Quake2xp final 2018 version is available for download, adds lots of modern graphical features
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/quake2xp-final-2018-version-is-available-for-download-adds-lots-of-modern-graphical-features/
In case you weren’t aware of, QuakeIIxp is a multi-platform (windows, linux and freeBSD (experemental)) graphics port of Quake II with a completely updated rendering engine that takes full advantage of the latest graphics cards to get the perfect picture, preserving the original style of the game.
This basically means that Quake2xp features a lot of modern-day graphical effects that can improve the visuals of Quake 2. Some of them are real time per-pixel lighting and shadowing (like DooM3) with hi quality parallax mapping (relief mapping technology) with self-shadowing, oren-Nayar Diffuse with GGX Specular BRDF, Phong, Lambert and Sub-Surface Scattering lighting models, postrocessing effects like Bloom, Depth of Field, Radial Blur, Thermal Vision, Film Grain, Gamma/Brightness/Contrast/Saturation/Vibration, Motion Blur, SSAO, Scanline and mediam cinematic filters, as well as reflection (screen space local reflection) and refraction surfaces.

SA_DirectX 2.0 mod makes Grand Theft Auto San Andreas look almost as good as modern-day video games
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/sa_directx-2-0-mod-makes-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-look-almost-as-good-as-modern-day-video-games/
Modder ‘Makarus’ has released the final version of his graphical overhaul mod for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, SA_DirectX 2.0. While the modder did not reveal the changes he has made to the change, he did release some screenshots that showcase the new and improved visuals achieved with this mod.
From what we have gathered, SA_DirectX 2.0 has some new shaders that Makarus has implemented via the ENBSeries mod for GTA San Andreas. The result is incredible and almost makes the game look as good as modern-day titles (of course we’re not talking about the current-gen triple-A games, but something you could find in an indie/lowered-budget title).

>>The mod is available from Nexus Mods.

Portal: After Hours mod Episode 1 launched on Steam Workshop (Update)
https://www.pcgamer.com/portal-after-hours-mod-to-launch-first-episode-next-month/
After writing about the 20-map, 30-puzzle-boasting Destroyed Aperture earlier this month, I've had a hankering for Portal 2 mods. After a wee fumble around ModDB, the latest to catch my eye is Portal: After Hours—a " one man passion project" that plans to launch its first episode on August 15, 2018.
Designed to recapture the story-lite "simplicity" of the original Portal, After Hours aims to give players "much harder puzzles that cater to long-term Portal fans first," so says creator ABNTGeneric.
Update: ABNTGeneric's Portal: After Hours mod has now launched its first episode to the Portal 2 Steam Workshop.

Modder Kaldaien: 25% of CPU usage in Monster Hunter World is for switching active threads, has over 100 threads
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/modder-kaldaien-25-of-cpu-usage-in-monster-hunter-world-is-for-switching-active-threads-has-over-100-threads/
As we’ve already stated, Monster Hunter World is one of the few games that can stress even high-end CPUs. And while Capcom tried to explain the reasons why the game can be CPU-bound, modder Kaldaien has discovered that 25% of the overall CPU activity in this game is for switching active threads.
As the modder noted, 25% of all CPU activity in Monster Hunter World is the kernel stopping one thread so that another one can run. Moreover, the game currently has over 100 threads and as he stated, the overhead from such a thing is enormous.

https://www.pcgamer.com/burden-of-command-is-a-tactical-rpg-that-aims-to-capture-the-personal-experiences-of-war/
Burden of Command looks like a strategy wargame: Maybe Panzer General, maybe Hearts of Iron 3, or maybe something in between. Developer Green Tree Games insists that it is not, however. They describe it as "Band of Brothers meets XCOM," a blend of RPG and tactics that's "infused with battlefield psychology, where every decision counts."

Turn-based tactics RPG Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is out now

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, a turn-based RPG being developed by 6 Eyes, is in Early Access now. After its successful Kickstarter, our writer Lauren Morton checked out how it was coming along back in March. She said, "Fell Seal's current demo includes 11 story missions and the option to replay most of the maps as random encounters. In true JRPG style, it also features fantasy monsters, bumbling henchmen, and a haughty antagonist with a terrible haircut. The protagonists, by way of contrast, stray a good deal from the plucky heroes of the coming-of-age tale I expected to find."

Their current project is The Pizza Delivery Boy Who Saved the World, a live-action visual novel about, well, the title probably sums it up. You play Doug, who takes a break from pizza delivery when someone claiming to be a future version of himself enlists him to help prevent the internet from being destroyed. There's also weird customers to deal with, awkward flirting, and what looks like a pizza-slicing minigame. It's got everything.

Prey's director says the final act was "too intense"
https://www.pcgamer.com/preys-director-says-the-final-act-was-too-intense/
Raphael Colantonio, director and co-writer of Arkane's 2017 game Prey, has been interviewed by Kotaku about his game's famously divisive final act. As well as the ending itself, the build-up to it has come under criticism for being drawn-out, and introducing too many security bots. Colantonio told Kotaku that, "In this case, yeah there was definitely too much at the end, it was too intense, not only the security bots but there was some other stuff. In general, I think it was too intense, we were trying to ask the players to backtrack, and do some stuff. It was just too much. We should have cut it short."

Cliff Bleszinski will address Boss Key failures in new book
https://www.pcgamer.com/cliff-bleszinski-will-address-boss-key-failures-in-new-book/
Despite glowing reviews, LawBreakers failed to sustain a playerbase. Its free-to-play Early Access follow-up Radical Heights was an unsuccessful roll of the dice—one which led Cliff Bleszinski to shutter Boss Key Productions entirely. Now, Bleszinski is writing a book which will address the studio's failures.

Even if the cards have the same $100 extra that the latest Founder Edition cards had, that's still a lot of money. We need AMD to be competitive again, asap.
