deanb Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I guess on one hand it's lucky I don't have $1000 spare to spend. On the other more important hand why don't I have $1000 to spend on an absurdly silly GPU?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staySICK Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 that 540 is kinda neat, and slightly cheaper than the 600t I was originally looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Personally though, it's the 970 that gets me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 http://wccftech.com/amd-reveals-radeon-r9-390x-gdc-wip/ Look upon this and despair for you are fucking poor. Same deal with the Titan X. At the moment, it will be a battle between the GTX 980 and 380x for me. Unless Nvidia can pull out something by The Phantom Pain launch, which I doubt. After the GTX 970 fiasco, I believe the next line of card or two will be important . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 *Two CPUs otherwise, damn. Highly unrealistic for 99.95% of people but damn! I just wonder how would communicating with each other during a gaming session work since it's all from a single machine. I'm ignorant on how VM networking work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080 GTX 1080 (and related) announced. Basically runs circles around anything else on the market atm, and major gains for VR performance to boot. Costs as much as you'd expect but hey means everything else will slide down in price to match. Kinda weird to see they've not started a new series with it now being in the 1000 range like they did when they got past the 9000 series last time (I guess this being a magnitude smaller helps with the numbering a bit). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 8K monitor geared for the professional content creator where a large screen with HUGE resolution and superb color representation is key. Besides, no consumer grade GPU can run it yet. You need the most recent Quadro cards to run. With that in mind, at $5k it isn't priced that bad. Those Quadro cards cost at least half as much or at least that much. Add in potential workstation CPU, mobo and RAM... UGH. And yes, that is a black line down the screen. Watch till the end and you'll learn a potential way to fix it and dead pixels. On another note. I recently mentioned being interested in BOINC recently. This guy and his setup is the reason why: Absolute insane home network, workstations and office setup. Absolute beautifully done as well. Professional setups like this isn't common so to see it on a home network is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 4K, 144hz, HDR with G-SYNC monitors. I think they displayed the TN and IPS models there or it can be the Freesync version. As far as any PC gamers are concerned, this is like the end of the theoretical line for like the next half decade at least. The thing is though, like with the above 8K monitor, you'll need the latest card with either Display Port 1.3 or 1.4 (The 8K needs TWO) to pull it off. Me with a measly 980ti can't run this monitor (maybe?). Hell, a lot of cards would have trouble pulling solid 30fps with quality graphic settings let along highest. 60 fps is a tough goal for the highest end cards as well. Seriously though. This monitor ticks off so many of the right boxes. The thing is though... it must cost like $1500-$2000 but god damn would it be absolutely future proof. I'm running my run of the mill 1080p 60hz monitor for like 6-8 years already. I could see myself using this one as long. GPU evolution has some ways to go before we hit regular 4K@144fps so maybe I'll be totally irresponsible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I can see the argument for higher resolution (I downsample everything I can) but other than for VR any framerate over 60 just seems gratuitous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 See the above is defo not aimed at gamers (especially with the price tag, and using Quadro cards), the later I guess is given the support for g-sync which you won't really need for photoshop/video/coding work. I'd say it's still totally a "look what we can do" than a "look what we expect people to afford" kinda thing. Amazed no one has posted that 3 screen razer laptop, though I hear it has been stolen from the show floor so that's a thing. I guess with all those fancy features it didn't come with a basic kensington lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 An 8k monitor seems pointless for anything other than like feature film editing work, and mostly pointless for that too since most movies aren't even filmed at that high of resolution. *Edit - I guess you could watch 4 4k sources at once without losing any quality?

deanb Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 RED have had an 8K camera for a couple years (which it'd seem he has). Also keep in mind that video editing you're usually not viewing full screen so you'll want room for your UI (and hey, having two views for your film helps too to compare n contrast and so on), so for 4K it's pretty decent to use. Based on the uses for early 4Ks I'm to understand a big use for them is in coding since you can fit a shit ton of stuff on a single screen with both your code and your output all in one go. I'll be honest I jumped around the video, but I'd guess an issue is it doesn't seem to have 4 inputs (I was suggesting something that did that, I think it was an LG, to someone other week. Would for example let you plug in 4 1080p consoles for say splitscreen or what not but with individual consoles I'm still rocking a 1080p monitor and that's doing fine for me at the moment.

deanb Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Only just seen this, but yeah it's very rare for companies to actually outright buy cameras unless it's a big film production and they can do some fancy Hollywood accounting to write it off in some way and send it to another production on the end (and when you're film costs $100million, then $100,000 isn't much). So vast majority are renting their cameras, which makes the most sense (and means you can grab it local to where you're shooting, instead of shipping gear everywhere). Though does clue in on how much the LinusTechTips channel must be making if a RED 8K, which is more aimed at filming Avengers:Infinity War, is seen as a reasonable expense to invest in compared to a more affordable Sony or Canon.

MetalCaveman Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 At some point I just expect them to go "we're now a flim studio making big Hollywood movies" as all this seems overkill for a youtube channel, even if they justify it by saying they want to increase their production values, still seems like a bit too much, but what do I know.
