Any resolution over 1080p is utterly useless(for a living room tv), and only exists there for bragging rights and big numbers.

[QUOTE="mulalatum"][QUOTE="kraken2109"] Do any of you guys read that chart? e.g. 4k is worth it if your TV is 50" and you sit closer than 22 feet. I think most people sit closer than 22 feet to their TV...lostrib

That chart is incorrect anyways. For a 4k TV, for you to notice it  in a 50", you need to seat around 3 feet or a little closer.

This other one is about lower resolutions but gives more perspective

I have a 50" TV and a 27 inch monitor. A nice 32 inch 4K monitor would perfect for around 4 feet. Which is perfect PC gaming distance fomr a monitor, and I definitely sit less than 10 feet from my 50 inch TV as well.

No it wouldn't. For around 4 feet you would need a display around 65".

No way will Nvidia let this go they will annouce something similar in the future which is good that means competitive price and what not

TheFadeForever

for the people saying they going to wait on Nvidia.  

 

Here are 4 reasons not to.

 

1) Nvidia are price gougers ... At best they going to price their cards at around the same price of the new amd line. 

2) everytime a new GPU comes out. Its always easy to say "OH THE NEXT SET OF GPUS FROM X COMPANY IS GOING TO BLOW THESE AWAY SO WAIT".  Essentially you will be waiting for a long time with that opinion. 

3) With AMD you are guarenteed that your gpu will be optimized for basically every multiplat going into this next generation. Whereas with Nvidia you always going to be worring about optimization.

4) If mantel picks up, Thats going to be alot of free juice for your GPU . Frostbite 3 is already supporting mantel and there are alot of good games coming out on Frostbite.  Im pretty sure Unreal Engine 4 and CryEngine are going to support mantel as well.   Chris Roberts was at the AMD event to show star citizen , and a staff member at crynet forums has said they will be considering mantel support .   

 

 

So to me, AMD looks like the shiz this gen.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] Yea I have been following that one, just not the lower tiers. I may get two 280xs and call it a day. Then again, crossfire hasn't had the best of luck in the driver department. If the 290x is as good as sources would lead us to believe, may just get a single one of those and call it a day. millerlight89

Just got my first AMD card in a long while (last was a 4870, then was on an nvidia 570 for a few years) and I couldn't be happier with the drivers and quality hardware.  Solid 60 fps....solid 60fps everywhere

PC Gaming = Hardware for games that don't exist. R9 290X to run retro side scrollers and console ports, lol.AestheticGamer

And Star Citizen.

All flash no substance. I'd rather play Grand Theft Auto in 720p at 30fps than play that shitty game in 4k resolution with 10,000 fps.SKaREO

Impressive.

Only when you're tlkaing about a laptop. A desktop for $250 could beat a console in performance (going with an AMD APU).

Not thta it matters. You get what you pay for.

Either way if you have friends playing Battlefield 4 on the consoles will be way better than the PC version where nobody talks but then again you all will just brag about being able to run 32xaa (as if anyone gives a f*ck in the real world).AestheticGamer
