Every comparison thread.
No, this isn’t a both sides are wrong problem. The PS guys are clearly being a bunch of assholes here. We’re trying to engage in a normal discussion and they turn it into platform warring nonsense.
Im confused....i thought DS was gpu decompression?
Examples?
Some games have large differences, others do not. Simple as that.
I guess Im still lost about what exactly Direct Storage is then?
Via DF
This is aided by DirectStorage, though GPU decompression isn't enabled. At present, the developers feel this feature is too restrictive in terms of mixing and matching decompression formats and isn't quite the finished article. We're told that as Horizon isn't heavily CPU-limited, it makes sense to run decompression on the CPU rather than adding additional burden to the GPU.
Either way, the frame-time issues we saw with GPU-based DirectStorage in Ratchet and Clank are not visible here
It’s cool. I said what I needed to say and it’s the truth. Half of this thread is a stupid back and forth that has nothing to do with the video.I see the ban hammer falling on some lol
It’s an API that is used for faster decompression in short. One of the features is that it can also use the GPU to decompress files even faster.
It was not directed at you.
People want to have the best possible experience with a game. Is that shocking?
Well it doesnt look "far superior" in the comparison takes. But I'm sure on the higher end, running at 4k with very high framerates, it would be a more noticeable step up. Or the youtube video isn't doing the differences justice.
It’s the old case of Blood in the water.
This thread?
Just need to drop that sweet baby garbage.
Defensive how? The game is better and cheaper on PC. What has to be defended?
It looked like a refinement to me. Maybe big on your ruler, is small on mine. Mine goes to 12". lol
Some don’t like it being so close.
Alex is an obvious one.
Alex is on this thread? Where?
Did he mention the lower bound on the 3070? I don’t recall that.
I'm sure this game is also tanking performance on the 3070 a lot based on the VRAM overflow. it is quite a shame really. I've ran into similar extreme GPU bottlenecks in ratchet and had to cover up the VRAM performance tank with more aggresive internal resolutions even at 1440p
He said it can potentially drop to that level. Not that it does. That’s the res floor. Doesn’t mean it actually ever hits it. It might.
memory bound drops also manifest themselves with max GPU load. only way to properly identify them is to take a look at shared VRAM usage which alex is refusing to do so for some reason
I think this can be somewhat mitigated by lowering the texture streaming speed from Fastest down to Fast.memory bound drops also manifest themselves with max GPU load. only way to properly identify them is to take a look at shared VRAM usage which alex is refusing to do so for some reason
it is why 3070 also performs greatly lower than ps5 at equivalent settings/resolutions because it is offloading 4.5 gb worth of memory to regular RAM. this is something PC games should not do, and instead do proper texture streaming. in most other cases, even breaching past 1 gb of shared memory will cause insane performance problems and you stop getting your GPU's worth of performance at that point
if a game uses more than 1-1.5 gb shared memory, it means that you're not getting optimal GPU performance you can get. simple as that. alan wake 2, avatar and most UE5 titles properly stream textures and never go above 1.5 gb shared memory and as such, in those games these GPUs perform like you would expect.
this war will go on because some of you people use this to opportunistically claim PS5 is punching above its weight when you know that all along an 16 GB 3070 would drastically change the result. hence the idea that ps5 performing better than the "3070" chip is just disingenious when the chip is being stalled because of poor memory management decisions by the developer.
this is with that setting on "normal" lol
You taking the piss out of my old eyes? I bet you go up to wheelchair users and ask them to race you too! You springy legged, chicken.
I don’t want to be rude and call people out.
