I was already forgetting, thanks for correcting the numbers I described, it’s not 250 gflops, it’s 246.4 gflops ...

calculated: 246.4 GFLOPS (Vertex Shader: (4-way SIMD 2ops ×) × 8 groups × 550 MHz + Pixel Shader: (4-way SIMD 2ops ×) × 2 groups (doubles) × 24 groups × 550 MHz) = 246.4 GFLOPS


That math can't be right. Per Nvidia, the Tegra K1 slide I posted shows PS3's GPU listed at 192 GFLOPS.

Doesn’t mean they can’t do their own parallel event... It seems like a good moment to show more, everyone will be looking for games.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were still a part of it somehow either. Decisions to pull out were made before this year and Covid-19 so might make sense to change that decision. Or again, just hold a parallel event. I'm wondering if the October issue of Wired might have another article and they release a video and/or blog as well once that magazine is out in public? I thought that Wired had said they were going to have another article with more information after that last one?

game is already massive and extremely detailed for what it is.
just think that it already contains 37.000 airports, let alone the cities and basically the entire planet.
and you can add as much more precision as your heart desires.
Most of this "massive" is just map 3D reconstruction, that many online maps did way before FS.
And it's hard to say that FS do it in very advanced matter, it pretty much the same, but now with textures - maps reconstructed in simplified matter, most of the building are simple rectangular blocks with simple textures that don't look very good up close.
It simply because FS did not create this "massive world", they just visualize existing maps, done by others, and details depends on source material that FS managed to obtain.

Am still a bit behind here so apologies if posted but I never saw this point from Matt. Just seems to shut down another claim against PS5...

I mean we kind of knew didn't we but for anyone still claiming otherwise...

No that's not true, I'm sure there was one fella in here screaming his head off that the PS5 variable clocks will effect performance as it can't run at max clocks all the time. I believe him!

how come?
not only its a microsoft first party game that has been announced for xbox,
but also its going to be out on xbox waaaaaay before almost every sony first party game on playstation,
given that the game is already finished ;]


So far the only platform listed on its site is Windows 10, where's is the Xbox Series X version? No Xbox version, not entitled for this thread.

Oh I'm not talking about hype or anything gaming related. Just him. Just a feeling I have.
You'd look and feel like shit too if you had to get on your knees and suck up every big exec in the industry for exclusive access to every big reveal. That doritos and dew diet can't be sitting well with him either.

It's already confirmed to be released on Xbox one and Xbox Series X. The date hasn't been announced though, but it will 100% come to Xbox. It's confirmed.

In fact, Xbox is the leading platform for this game, it's developed for xbox first and then optimized for PC:

"By the way, the Xbox will help us to optimize the product, so it will also be a benefit for PC. There is nothing PC will lose from the Xbox. It's basically the opposite. We're doing the work to have a better experience on the Xbox family, then we will improve the PC version."

Crazy that this cross-gen game is still the best looking and most impressive nextgen experience we have seen so far at all.
 
What are the advantages of a faster pixel fill rate, please halp, will give a juicy back rub.
For now I can think in two cases:

1)Less impact in you performance while is use MSAA or something similar
2)Probably Sony wants this for its VR, they will probably use two 1440p screens to 120 hz, this are a lot pixels to draw per second

The thing with this usually as I understand the Texture fill rate,Shader units are bigger bottlenecks but of course
as many things in a GPU, any component can become a bottleneck for some specific kind of scene, game, engine,
etc so if full of dependencies.

Funny you say it's for Xbox first but right know it's on PC only, tell me about this 'leading' platform...:messenger_tears_of_joy:

Oh, last time I checked, 'crossgen' meant a game in old and new platforms, where's the Xbox One version too?

Flight sim up close, I was looking for Zuul the destroyer on the building. It looks bad up close in city.



Flight sim only looks good far away, a bit like a nextflix streaming game for landscapes.

It has no relevance in gaming as your not 1000 ft in the air all the time in gaming.

If I had to do that, I'd quit, like I did 14 years go, only 5 months into my job.

The best looking open world game pun intended to date. the game streams 2 + petrabytes of data mapping the whole green earth with plane models that rival GT and Forza from the GD cloud 🤯
Scale,model, and ambition this is the most next gen things we've seen thus far.
But by all means zoom in and troll the texture res of buildings in a flight sim game

Dude I am playstation guy and I didn't touch TLOU2 and GOT yet. Some people didn't touch any sony exclusive in this generation and can play just that when PS5 release. And you telling me that some flight sim will be on XSX launch ? How sad is that xD

The mental gymnastics 😂 It's the best looking game so far, Period. No need for mental gymnastics.





It's a A Generational Leap In Graphical Realism according to DF. how can you still deny that? By zooming in 100000%?
Also, its not only about graphics, it's also everything around it, it's a snapshot of our ENTIRE WORLD (!!!) and includes REAL-TIME airtime traffic, so basically live planes in real life being in the game with the accurate radar data in real-time!

This is amazing and means that if one of my loved ones or best friends take a plane somewhere I can fly alongside them the entire route and see the weather they are experiencing in real-time with them. The fact the game has ADS-B data integration is amazing. I love the fact I can just fly over to any airport and see the real-time air traffic. As a prior-service US Airman, who worked exclusively with radar systems I think this alone will sell me on the game as everything else is just a gorgeous cherry on top.

And there are also amazing weather effects.

Best at 1000 feet for a landscape on PC with 64 GB RAM, rubbish up close. Totally irrelevant to all other games. This is not zoomed in its the cockpit view FFS.

Not seen on Xbox. Its a good flight sim, but thinking this is good graphics for gaming is hilarious.

2080ti with huge RAM for streaming (64 GB) looks good at distance. Thats it. LOL

Its all amazing but I like plot in my games. One flight and I'm done.
Also I don't care about what DF says anymore. I have hard time believing them.

Just because it streams data from some petabyte dataset of the earth does not mean it's the second coming.
I even said before release people should expect those 3D models and textures to collapse like noodles if you fly close to the ground and that's pretty much what happens.
Which is fine, you actually shouldn't fly that low, but come on those beautiful auto-generated backdrops are not exactly "the first taste of next-gen".

And thats how smart shift works on laptops. You actually think ps5 is the same, why ? What leads you to beleive that ?

Is it because the name is the same :messenger_beaming:

where is the CUSTOM ps5 implementation which is different. OH, its in road to ps5 and explained by Cerny. This is a console APU and has custom.

Laptop is trying to save battery..... its a not a laptop FFS.

That's a proper live, tangible skybox being rendered, not a backdrop but your point is valid. Never said it was the second coming but thus far of what I've seen from any camps this is the most impressive

The spreadsheets in Excel are soooo next-gen.
So much data from around the world. But when you look closer its only numbers :/


I get it. You have no normal games so you're happy about sim in which any of you will get bored after one flight. BUT COMMON it only looks good when you're high ( like in game, not IRL).

And saying that I will be on launch faster than Sony games ? Common Sony has whole generation of GOTY contender games just waiting for PS5 newcomers.
What fancy games xbox had this gen? I've only liked quantum break so far.
So maybe you're right hyping FS because you have nothing more to play from MS.

According to Alex. It's a flight sim FFS. An impressive flight sim nothing against it, but generational leap it is NOT. The same guys at Digital Foundry that said driving sims always look good, because well, they're driving sims, are now pushing flight sims as the pinnacle of graphics.

If we desperately want to find excuses will will always find an excuse - "it's a corridor shooter", "it's a sports game", it's a racing title", "it's a scripted cinematic game", "it's full of QTE", and so on, like how hard is it to just accept what we are looking at and simply tell if it's good looking or not?

Its a great looking flight sim, but as your always 1000 ft away from stuff, the techniques used to stream massive data to a 64 GB RAM on PC is not relevant to other game graphics at all unless its another flight sim.

You cannot use this method on any other game, its clear from pics. Its a game to enjoy Vistas from the air.

I think you are misinterpreting that quote. They mean that work to optimise for the X1 can also be applied to and benefits the PC version. They even state in that same article...

"The company has outlined plans to bring Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to the Xbox console family but continues to stress its latest as a "PC-first" project. "

I'm really looking forward the XBox version and discussion of the game here is perfectly fine. It's a fantastic technical achievement. Unfortunately it's also the perfect "platform war" game because it is so easy to make it look fantastic or poor and cherry pick your examples to back-up your pre-decided argument. What it does and how it does it is unprecedented for this type of game and puts the focus on what players what from the game. That should be celebrated and lauded regardless of whether your house looks like it has cars driving through it or whether Edinburgh castle has been turned in to offices.

I feel like all that's left that they GOT to show is price and date.
Also the UI but that's really unimportant.

Not really, there's the above plus...

Teardown
Another games event
UI
Back compatible games
Load times examples + boot time
Maybe more tech demos of unique features
Maybe more
