The only card that is 1K is the Titan and my $350 R9 290 outperforms it in COH2. You dont have to spend 1K for high quality gaming, maybe 400ish.
That's true. I'm not sure how companies go about their GPU support, but they probably went for mid range card optimization and left more specialized rigs as well as outdated ones behind, which goes to show why SLI isn't well supported.

I agree with Inverse. People these days care too much about nametags on things.
Are videogames art?
Are videogames a sport?
Who cares? The first and foremost goal of games is to have fun. Competitive games add a competitive layer to it, that's all.
The problem with fighting hard to call it a sport, is that they are going to try and emulate EVERYTHING about the sports industry: wearing blazers as a commentator, showing the swagger and trashtalking of boxing matches, etc. I wonder if they'd try to implement salary caps and drafts eventually...
I don't believe sports should require an athletic element per se, but they traditionally do. The reasoning for this is that sports require less and less natural atheltic ability form participants to perform the same feats, as technology permits us. Examples are: Better footwear in track competitions, lighter soccer balls, better golf clubs, overall better cars in Formula 1 as well as the controversial performance enhancing drugs.

Made me had faith where there is none.

Ah, yes. That makes more sense.
It doesn't really "render" the scene apparently. In theory it does, but it doesn't display that rendered image. Its sound almost like a buffer within the card before actually displaying it.
In any scenario, AA is never really recommended for people looking for performance in their games. Playing at your monitor's native resolution is actually the best way to go (Be it 1920x1080, or whatever).
I am very disappointed that CoH2 wasn't properly optimized. I only have the venerable 8800 GTX which is VERY old now, but I cringe at the idea of spending $1000 for a 30 fps increase, when I've seen people get higher framrates in far more eye candy games.
Hell, my GPU plays games like Assassins Creed and Battlefield 4 with better performance. |
Having the Tiger Ace helps, more than a mic, to be honest. |
DrJason, it's a beta. They cannot make the mistake of releasing something with potentially gamebreaking bugs. Sue, the retail game ain't complete yet, but releasing a beta too early can prove bad.
For all we know we are close to release |
Resolution and anti-aliasing have nothing to do with each other, but they both aim to do the same through the different methods.
Resolution is just how many pixels the game wil be rendered in. Obviously the more pixels you render in, the better and sharper the image, but also the more work your GPU must perform (single most taxing work, actually).
Anti-Aliasing, no matter what kind it is, is an algorithm that grabs a pixelated edge in the image and blurs it a little bit. ome methods are faster than others, some methods are more accurate than others.
Increasing Anti-aliasing does NOT increase your resolution, you cannot create pixels out of thing air. You can, however, mimic the effects of a higher resolution.
That's why 4K monitors are so damn expensive (the cheapest is $800 and sucks, the ASUS is $2000). They laugh at 1080p resolution, giving you a LOT more pixels to work with.
Good luck with your framrate using that amount of quality in a current videocard though. |

When has it not been. |
The guys on top have the advantage, on matter if you flank. Considering both players are of equal skill:
-Flanking the top players is more difficult, since they have a very nice defensible position with two entrances, which look straight into the ice.
-Likewise, defending the middle base from an ice flank is more difficult, because not only does it not face toward the flank, but you only have one sensible defense point, instead of two (you have to blob a little, which is perfect for artillery).
-The bottom NEEDs to go through that bridge, which in theory can get blown and produces a pseudo bottle neck. That means defending middle form top is easier.
-The houses, in general, are pointed perfectly towards a top defense. There's also a lot of heavy cover for people on top.
The one advantage for bottom is that their fuel can be better defended. |
Why we bother with the OP? He is an Ostheer fanboi and plays only 4v4 anw =)
Because its a legitimate question, no matter what kind of game he plays? |
