I haven't been following this thread for months, what's Behind BCP textures making up for 2x the disk speed? How is that even possible?

As always a good feature of XSX but in some moment some fans of the brand take that feature out of proportion.

Is better in compression of texture (is only for textures) than Kraken which is used in PS5, but as Xbox advertised as something never seen
before well you see the consequences.

It is just a form of hardware texture compression. Both consoles have some type of compression.
It won't magically make up the difference between consoles.

Exactly especially when come from a company which will release all its games day 1 in PC and I am sure will part of
directx 12 ultimate in some moment as Sampler Feedback is now part of that.

Xbox Team seriously need a new guy naming things, like even this fan-made covers are WAY better than "Optimized for Xbox Series X"

 

[bitbydeath]

I strongly believe the console will look similar to this concept design which was based off the PS5 developer kits and the Dualsense controller.

Love it.

Next-Gen Consoles Run the Swarm Engine 'Amazingly', Could Render a Lot More Than WWZ's 1K Zombies

Saber CEO said that the studio's Swarm Engine runs 'amazing' on next-gen consoles and could render a lot more than World War Z's 1K zombies.

WWZ Dev talks next gen console power







Is WWZ confirmed for Next Gen port already? If WWZ 2 happens it sounds like it will be great on XsX and PS5

Wwz is an amazing game. Just sheer fun

My point is BCPack is just a library they improved and renamed again which the last version already exists also in PC, the main change is now they hardware to support it regarding . But people
put crazy because they heard things like 'BCPack will reach and overcome and exceed the bandwidth of PS5' that is a nonsense.

With SF is a similar situation the difference is that is already compatible with Nvidia turing so is not exclusive (SFS is part of SF).

No, I think the way a xbox engineer tweeted suggests it will be in the texture filtering stage, in much the same way the s3_tc/DXT is, but BCpack (which they didn't want to call BCbc, apparently, even though it is a block compressed texture being block compressed). The main difference I would think to this being achieved in a shader, instead of a custom hw texture filter, is that you don't need to use any memory to expand the data to texture sample the inner (BC) texture. The BCpack hw filter will directly recover the RGB texel from the texture sampler using the custom filter on the BCpack data.

Uhm.. so it does make up for 2x the data speed difference?

JFC. How did miss this? This might be the most aesthetically pleasing console design I've ever seen.

So according to dealer in his today's podcast, the ps5 is 9.2tf overclocked to 10.3 with workload it will be downclocked to 9.2tf again...


I mean REALLY??

Guys next week is the week . Book this post. Ps5 annoucmeent next week . Where is @Dr Strange when u need him to be ready ?

This is awesome!!! One thing, on the God of War box, you wrote "Ghost of Tsushima" instead of "God of War". Just a heads up. Been loving these.

 

[SportsFan581]

It's, as usual, people setting themselves up for disappointment.
I don't think it's PS5 related, could be something else entirely.

Ssh... Don't ruin the mood.

I see no mention of those 38 PS5 games in there.

The BCpack hw filter will directly recover the RGB texel from the texture sampler using the custom filter on the BCpack data.

But isn't BCPack wasteful if it's already lossy? Meaning the game size is the same, yet you use less quality of the actually available data. In a simpler example, it's like watching 4K content on a 1080p-1440p TV/monitor.

As I understand that both have decompressors, which is the most important, isn't compression also important for saving data as well? Do they both have compression functionality inside as well? Thanks.

It lists Bioshock?????? New bio shock incoming?!?

It seems that these outlets are starting to slap next-gen on anything so they'll get sales

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Because it has way more pages if you read in the beginning, this is probably only highlights to make you tempted to buy the original copy.

 

[Thirty7ven]

#PlayTheFuture was also here.

That's a pretty great slogan actually.

 

[Msamy]

No old bioshock info , also magazine contains nothing new regardless ps5 games , don't know why they doing that , all 38 games they talked about are 3rd parties , and already announced ,

 

[Killer Sakoman]

Navi supports a wide variety of configurations, you adjust front-end size of the SEs as needed. The 5500 has 24 CUs on a single (larger) SE.

Does the size of the CUs vary as well? I mean can they make smaller CUs inside SE to put more of then for more parallel processing? Or is the size of CUs fixed for the architecture?

Thanks a lot, man, gonna enjoy reading it now.

Astro Bot and Bloodborne are too low...

No Ratchet and Clank in that list is a sin. God forgive those bastards.

Wait so next week's PS event is for third-parties or am I missing something here? Page 28-29 lists all of the 38 games.

They kind of HAVE to do some sort of reveal before it comes out in a magazine like that, right?
Edit- never mind. I see there's really NOTHING about PS5 in that magazine. Rats!

Well, someone with access needs to BUY the damn thing already so we can see what's up! Right???????

No , I am pretty sure if ps5 gonna have event next week , it will have first party titles as main show and new 3rd parties other than ones mentioned in opm issue

 

[Tesseract]

wtf

It's really odd. They seem to be completely cut off from Sony's own games. I wonder why.....

Surely being labeled "Official" is breaking the trade descriptions act!

Nothing new

 

[dotnotbot]

Amazing list, nothing new, games like battlefield 6, the sims 5, elder scrolls 6. They don't even know full title and when those games release but hey, let's be hyped!

 

[3liteDragon]

Here's the list of all the 38 games they were talking about:

And this guy needs to be hired by Sony, especially for the marketing area.

CU size should be liked to nm process, 7nm for RDNA 2
