Intel and AMD on the verge to outcast discrete GPU solutions?

Looks like the low-end GPU market would soon be dead due to faster IGP solutions.

ProjectVulcan4029d ago (Edited 4029d ago )

The low end market is dead for discrete graphics, because the capability of IGPs has grown massively in the past 5 years or so. There is no reason to buy a dedicated low end video card anymore, because the video acceleration of these on die GPUs is superb.

But for enthusiast solutions discrete will still easily win, and I would rather have a better CPU without a GPU on die to pair with a discrete card.

The main advantage here lies in laptops, because laptop GPU performance 5 years ago was still utterly awful even for the time, whereas now it is perfectly passable and even manages low end gaming.

Anomander4029d ago

Define low end gaming. I bought a Sager laptop in 2010 with a Nvidia GTX460M, i7 2630 Quadcore and 8GB of RAM and gaming on that has been just fine. I may not get DX11 with all the bells and whistles, but I do get most games on High settings with 35-40 FPS in both DX10 and DX11.

I'd still take a laptop with a discrete GPU as well though. If you have the money you could always go crossfire and SLI for laptops as well if you did not want to go the desktop route. Though now that I have a older gaming laptop, I'm trying to get money set aside to build a new desktop, but the Mrs. is not being very supportive of that...

Kurylo3d4029d ago

Yea for real.. u seem very uninformed. My laptop back in 2008 was playing the original crysis on high settings.

dcbronco4029d ago

The problem for Intel is that AMD is moving into the low-end market with their APUs and Nvidia is making Tegra better with CUDA in Tegra 5. They may be getting better but the competition is getting better than their better.

ProjectVulcan4029d ago (Edited 4029d ago )

Low end gaming is having the game just run playable in 720p. I.e practically minimum settings. Something like a HD 4000 can actually run a considerable number of modern games in said HD resolution.

This was beyond stuff like GMA4500 5 years ago running the comparative modern titles of the time.

Kurylo3D, as for claiming your laptop ran Crysis on high in 2008.....sure it did. If you ran it in 720P and had a 9800M GT which would have been in a $1500+ laptop right there- hardly relevant to IGP graphics!

I had a gaming laptop with a 9800M GTS in it, managed medium/high 1440 x 900. That was literally a $1400 machine in 2008.

My point was that even a laptop with IGP in it can do a teeny bit of modern gaming. That was impossible 5 years ago, you were stuck with sub HD or older games.

AndrewLB4029d ago

@Kurylo3d - The fastest mobile GPU available in 2008 was the G92 9800m GTX and running the original Crysis on Ultra it was a slide show @ 1280x1024, still unplayable on Very High, and barely playable on high @ 30-40fps. Those 9800m gtx mobile gpu's were very rare in 2008 and insanely expensive. Very few people played Crysis on a laptop on high settings in 2008.. or 2009 for that matter.

Intel and AMD are both taking risks on the future of computing: Intel trying to have CPUs do most of the work while AMD trying to have the GPUs do most of the work. Who won? who's next? You decide

FragMnTagM4029d ago

That might be a good Epic Rap Battle.

Intel vs. AMD Begin!

hellvaguy4029d ago

Intel controls the high end cpu market and I dont see that changing. The real battle is for the mid and low end.

hellvaguy4029d ago

Where in the heck did that come from?

CaulkSlap4028d ago

Intel integrated graphics have always been a red flag in computer purchasing. I don't see that changing any time soon.

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk778h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE5h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7304h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor2h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos1h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor1h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos1h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus6h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning776h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

VersusDMC5h ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion5h ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware7304h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

VersusDMC4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@thesoftware730

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion2h ago

@Versus
" That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind"

No, it simply implies that some media all over the world might (keyword MIGHT) not properly cover the event like having proper articles for each game announced, or having a proper preshow. maybe some popular YouTubers won't have time to prepare or simply your local newspaper doing an article on tech and game.

So why would Sony take a chance?
What benefit would that give them?

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week

notachance4h ago

Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.

Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..
