It takes about 1ns for light to move the distance of your monitor, or about 1/10000th of a ns to move 1 pixel. This implies a maximum theoretical “useful” FPS of 10000 billion FPS, or 10 trillion FPS. This allows one full frame for each pixel to light up as an object moving at light speed traverses your monitor. There may be some possible “fringe benefits” or “perceived smoothness” to higher FPS, but generally if anyone claims they need higher than 10 trillion FPS they most likely don’t know what they are talking about. I hope this can finally put the arguing and infighting to bed.

Instead of frame rates, what about resolutions? I like 1080p ultrawide

Anime Schoolgirl posted:i know it's 3 times the power per cpu core than the last generation but "i expect 60 in idle scenes where they turn all the silly simulation code and grass animation on" is lofty when you're talking about 15-20gb of mesh and texture assets in regular use. SE are not id software. (this is also a problem starfield will have btw) I am loling at the naively hopeful gamers who think Starfield is going to be largely big free (and have good performance on PC). It’s a Bethesda game folks! It’s going to be buggy as poo poo and modders are going to have to fix it like every other Bethesda game. Also it’s going to come out and DF is going to figure out that it’s locked to 30 on Xbox because Gamebryo is still single threaded or something. There is going to be a main thread pegged at 100% CPU usage, a render thread at 50%, an I/O thread at 50%, and then the remaining CPU cores are just sitting silently with the lights off. I know MS said they sent id to help out on Starfield, but I imagine there is only so much they can do besides telling Bethesda to radically rearchitect their engine.

what bit depth you guys like technically 8bits x 3 channels is enough to encode all colors but you need a really good nonlinear color model in rgb you need a lot of bits

Antonymous posted:what bit depth you guys like Serious post: I would like to move beyond 8 bits per color. Too much banding. Also “HDR” doesn’t really fix this because a bunch of HDR implementations still just use 8 bits per color, just over a wider range so highlights are brighter but banding is even worse since the gaps are bigger.

did you know the CD contains 74 minutes of perfectly reproduced audio with error correction and 90db of dynamic range and so for 40 years now we've never needed an advancement in audio reprodution tech except MP3s which deliver good enough quality but can stream over internet due to lower data rates when do you think video will hit the 'there is no human experience that cannot be reproduced' benchmark or have we passed it. certainly we can store it but maybe not display it yet

4k looks really clean but it requires optimisation and sacrifice that isn't really possible for video games. It's a marketing term for visualphiles
