Seems reasonable to me. With Zen being pushed back into 2017 as well it makes sense to have your new highend gpus out when your new highend cpus are available. I plan on doing an AMD build once everything becomes available cant wait.

I really wanted my new build to be full AMD, but I needed an efficient PC this year for college, so have gone with Skylake i5 and a GTX 1070 I'm buying tomorrow. AMD has finally got their act together though, so my next PC will be full AMD. I won't do that upgrade until 4K is affordable though, 4-6 years from now. If you're building in 2017 though, I'd recommend giving AMD a shot with Zen/Vega coming out. Should be great power for cheap. Zen + r490x should be really damn powerful on the cheap, and they've got their TDP down quite a bit.

AMD's high end is almost always still on the low end when compared to the competitors

Nvidia performance is hard to beat. I believe Nvidia was playing the waiting game. The 1080ti will be expensive though. Should have waited for the 1080ti
Cringe 😠

Omnislashver362796d ago (Edited 2796d ago )

Nvidia has no need to counter this. The 490x and/or Fury will go against the 1070 and 1080. AMD's value will force Nvidia to lower their prices though. The 1080 ti is a given, but that'll be so expensive I won't consider it a 'counter'.

@ShadowKnight
"Now Nvidia can counter this."

that doesn't make any sense, both companies always introduce new cards.

"I believe Nvidia was playing the waiting game."

this also doesn't make sense. nvidia released its high end cards first, 1070 1080 and titanx. maybe it is amd who is doing the waiting game since they have only released new budgets cards.

"The 1080ti will be expensive though"

like most nvidia cards.

ShadowKnight2796d ago (Edited 2796d ago )

@Omnislash AMD won't be able to compete with Nvidia performance but AMD price and value is hard to beat like you said. I love Nvidia cards they're just the best when it comes to performance and power and I hope they cut the price down so gamers can experience great gpus 1070/1080 . Heck the 980 is still a great card.

Unspoken2796d ago

Did you just learn about GPUs?

DeadlyFire2796d ago

AMD and NVIDIA do pretty well at keeping up with each other on GPU side of things. Both are pretty decent range. CPU wise Zen is the first chance AMD has at taking a piece of the high end CPU market back from Intel.

Runechaz2796d ago

Ho yeah, I have been wating for this to change my R9 290x

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg17h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos16h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola12h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
