AMD’s new high-end graphics card
|
 Yesterday saw the official release of AMD’s new high-end graphics card, the Fury X. Giant chip, many shader cores, HBM, no HDMI 2.0, small board, liquid cooling – the specs are old news by now.
However, what all readers do like to know more about is benchmarks and we published a lot of them yesterday in a remarkably succinct (we saved the long exposition bits for our Dutch review) article that is all about graphs, graphs, graphs. 12 games, plus 3DMark, 3 resolutions, 2 quality settings. Oh, and some temperature, noise and overclocking (incl. HBM overclocking) results, but who’s counting.

Understanding Frame Rate – Uncovering The Truth Behind 30 VS 60 FPS
|
|
INFO: As someone who loves video games, I spend a lot of time discussing them on the internet via various Reddit communities, forums and when I can stomach it; the YouTube comment section. One topic that seems to keep coming up in the ever-growing battle between PC and Console is the difference between 30 and 60 FPS or rather the lack thereof, in the case of some arguments. In this report, we’ll be taking a look at some of these arguments and attempt to clarify some of the misinformation that is often used in them.

Benchmarking The Latest AMD & NVIDIA Graphics Cards On Ubuntu Linux
|
|
"Last year for the 10th Phoronix birthday I did a 60+ GPU
comparison with the open-source drivers and a 30-way graphics card
comparison with the binary AMD/NVIDIA Linux drivers. With Phoronix
turning eleven this week, I did another large graphics card comparison
under Linux... The results today aren't as large as last year, but
represent most of the latest-generation AMD and NVIDIA hardware while
running Ubuntu 15.04. With more games coming to Linux, there's new
titles covered in this year's massive comparison including Civilization:
Beyond Earth, Metro 2033 Redux, and many others."

Gamers are more than excited about DirectX 12 coming to market later this year and after seeing what other low-level APIs like AMD Mantle could do with regards to lowering the API overhead we certainly understand why. Futuremark recently released a DirectX 12 feature test called the 3DMark API Overhead Feature Test that allows enthusiasts and gamers to look at the draw call benefits of the new DX12 API. The 3DMark API Overhead Feature Test should show how future game titles that were developed 'to the metal' perform.

With an MSRP of $199 and availability in May, the SHIELD Set-Top box has grabbed the attention of many this week. . The benchmarks out on the web that show off the true performance numbers behind the NVIDIA SHIELD console are far and few between, so we managed to track done some NVIDIA employees and get some 1-on-1 time with an early sample of the NVIDIA SHIELD to run some benchmarks on it.

Evolve Benchmarked, Performance Review
|
|
We've been eagerly anticipating more games based on the latest CryEngine build and now that wait is over: after being delayed from its original October 2014 release date, Evolve has launched this week on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Developed by Turtle Rock Studios (creator of Left 4 Dead), Evolve is the company's latest squad-based co-op shooter and unsurprisingly, it calls for some fairly beefy hardware.
