This being my first souls game, it took me 35 hours (yeah I died a lot
), but if you've played some of the other games I can imagine it taking like 15-20 hours.

As a guy who'll get ps5 on release date - don't have any reason to be jealous. I'm amazed that everyone jerks off on DeS graphics and can't see how current-gen some npc look, which was evident from first trailer with Maiden in Black.

They'll put it everywhere.
It'll be on gamepass and MS will use that to try and drive people to its service.
But if you want to pay full price and play on a non-gamepass platform, MS is going to okay that too.
The question really is if Bethesda manage to get TES out before there is a deal between MS and Sony for gamepass content/hosting.

more or less with this we can see how RDNA2 RT performs with DEDICATED HARDWARE for RT and not shared with TMU. Measured on a 6800 XT
Very good for its first iteration, but still needs a lot of work to get to Nvidia. Still they have done an excellent job, I would say they could match the 2080 Ti in RT.

This is not a bad point and possible. Included on Gamepass, full price everywhere else.
I still think they won't do that.

Enjoy attempting to point out faults in something exceptional. Must be hard for you to appreciate anything. You have my sympathy.

35 hours is a perfectly reasonable time for a first run of any Souls game. Wouldn't say you died excessively. I doubt anyone who isn't very familiar with DeS could do a first run in 20 hours. I haven't played it in nine or so years, so am expecting a good 30 hours, even though I've played the other Soulsborne games to death. Mind you, it looks so incredibly nice, I'll probably take my sweet time, and come out at 50 plus

This is so freaking cool. I remember thinking about future controllers when i was younger and imagining if something like this was possible and we are finally here. Next stop is adaptive analog sticks.

Those who uses those words "niche" to diss a game are really the worst people and the most no brain, like who cares if it's niche or not? if it's good or not that's what should matter. (At least that's my logic)
Also niche doesn't mean anything in a sense, fighting games were considered niche but then go take a look at how much Tekken and MK are selling for example. Hardcore games were considered niche too but then look at how much Souls games sell, and now it's games that inspired many other devs.

After watching the Demon's souls gameplay trailer #2 revealed, i seriously pity those xbox fanboys, all they have now is the talk about Full RDNA2 blah blah blah, and without any true next gen games like Demon's Souls, to play. U know what, i don't give a damn about ps5 being full RDNA2 or whatever shit cerny put inside ps5, just give me games like demon souls, spider man, gow, got2, Horizon forbidden west. Just give me fucking true next gen games, next gen experiences. At the end of the day, only games does matters.

Fuck yes! Awesome haha that should give some nice feeling to gameplay.
Yeah its so true about those developers. Sony have had such a great nack at bringing individual studios into the fold and having them just flourish and produce amazing things. I mean... Ghosts Of Tushima is basically using tech that most people would of considered next gen only with things like its fine grained texture loader (which I my read is very similar to what MS talks about in its dev chats on DX12 Sample Feedback, but instead made with complex compute shaders on a 7 year old graphics card!).Select Jim Ryan quotes from the article (nothing too interesting):PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan on making PS5 more successful than PS4

Is the irony lost on any one else, regarding the gushing for DS ? it looks class but lets not lose sight its a remake and not ignore the fact that COVID has had a huge impact on both Sony and Microsoft launch plans regarding games and we are all feeling it once you put the biased view point aside.
This Gen is truly exiting regardless on hardware As I personally cant wait to see what all studios produce in the coming years.

It doesn't depending on view point but it is. imagine a same level design game build from the ground up ready to go and add 3 or 4 of these showcase games on both consoles that's what we are missing and that was my intended my point.

Tower of Latria now has a storm on the outside?
Just a typo I know, but 6 billion transistors.
And also don't forget SRAM memory takes up less space on a chip than other types of logic, so to figure out area, you have to find out space of SRAM on 7nm node, and can't just rely on transistor count divided by the total transistors into area. Not sure if you did that in regards to the 64 MB of your chip diagram?
Great chip diagram btw! Created by you?
For others that want to know:
If the PS5 had 64 MB of Infinity cache, the calculation would be:
64,000 x 1024 = 65,536,000 bytes or 64 MB
and there are 8-bits in a byte, so 65,536,000 x 8-bits = 524,288,000 bits
and at 6 transistors (SRAM is transistor heavy!) for each bit, 3,145,728,000 transistors or 3 billion.
PS5 transistor count is estimated to be around 13 billion?

Well Digital Foundry needs to explain themselves now. They made the claim that it was 1440P when it's actually Dynamic 4K.
SlimySnake
Flashless at the Golden Globes
Dynamic 4k could mean anything. The resolution drops to ensure the framerate sticks to 60 fps. there is a good chance the framerate drops all the way down to 1440p in some instances.
lets wait and see. Gears of war 5 goes all the way down to 1080p in its dynamic 4k mode.

Dynamic 4K might fall down to 1440p, no?

due to this news:
wccftech.com
After a lot of time i understand:
What I thought was complete RDNA2 should include all the hardware, not just the functions to be developed:
Next AMD presents what are the characteristics that have led it to achieve a 54% improvement compared to RDNA1. Broken down:
The first corresponds to the increase in frequency which does not seem to be very present on Xbox.
The second Improvement Holisty Design that corresponds to the following slide:
Variable clocks per CU (there is no such thing in SX)
Restructuring of the pipeline (as we can see in the 80 CU GPU in the photo it only has Shaders Arrays of 10 CU maximum) There is no such thing in Xbox either
And greater efficiency of data movement. (Who knows).
The last point is that RDNA2 has Infinity cache (the brilliance of the photo):
And yet I'm still trying to find it here:
In which it is neither mentioned nor appears.
And last and foremost is dedicated RT Hardware without using TMUs as calculation units:
In front of this:
Where can you see that if you activate the RT a TMU (there are 2 actually and I hope because as it has 2 TMUs per RDNACU they are managed) to become an RT accelerator.
So what have we been discussing? If RDNA2 architecture is not hardware because it is clear that it is not, then what is RDNA2?
VRS, Mesh Shaders and Direct RT ??? So what have we been discussing all this time for software functions compatible with hardware?
I just know one thing, I think no console can afford all that hardware on the GPU for 500 Euros (~ $ 500). And that of course I think that the word RDNA2 architecture simply refers to VRS, Mesh Shaders AND directX RT. I think we are getting a ton of weird marketing that is not letting us see with our eyes the hardware that we are buying which is really important.
VRS, Mesh Shaders or DXRT are functions that other companies without RDNA2 have, for example Nvidia. So we can assure that they are not exclusive to RDNA2 but rather that it is a way of using hardware that will have to be compatible.
Conclusion:
That certifies you as RDNA2.0 full: it is a set of API characteristics that must be compatible with your system. But it is not tied to hardware development.
I think we've gotten a ton of unnecessary marketing and swallowed it. RDNA2 has nothing to do with concrete hardware architecture.
But I finally understood.
The RDNAX word is just marketing and does not assure you of hardware. So from my Geek point of view it is a word that is worthless.

Dynamic resolution is not the same as 1440p though.
If you think DF should refer to dynamic resolution as the lowest possible, then they should have said Gears 5 actually runs at 1080p on the X1X.

I don't think they said it was dynamic though. I mean that should be easily detectible.
But they also didn't say it was dynamic. I'm curious as how they missed it.

That's right, they didn't. Thomas Morgan assumed 1440p, without much reasoning.

It may or it may not. Depends on what Bluepoint has set as the lowest bound it can scale down to during 100% load on the GPU.

That's an easy assumption honestly. If games run at 4K/30, you have to half the resolution to double the framerate. According to recent info, performance mode may be lacking some advanced lighting, so resolution may go higher than 1440p upto 4K. Obviously, that's just my guess.
