Yeah I really thought by this time in 2016 we would have HDR monitors.

Went over to Reddit and one of the top posts was about what the HDR console craze means for PC.

They pretty much echo the same stuff, console games that support it will do so on PC too, PC will start getting HDR monitors next year, etc.

I am glad to see that people are realizing HDR is a bigger impact on visuals than 4K resolution is.

There is nothing more annoying than someone buying a cheap 4K TV and talking about how it's underwhelming, having no idea that HDR is a bigger feature and impact than the resolution bump. Like no shite, 4K is a mediocre upgrade on it's own, it's the 10 bit color gamut and HDR that blows you away.

A 12 bit 4K HDR PC monitor will be absolutely insane.

HDR is nothing new for PCs. It has been around since about 08. We just never got the monitors.

Edt: Rem HL Lost Coast?

Then it's never been around.

Next year will be big. Can't wait.

Whatever the cost I will have a Freesync 4K HDR IPS monitor.

I know the 1080/70/60 and RX 480/70/60 all support HDR, not sure if the older cards will be able to via an update or not.

Top Golf is a cool place, I'm just not a golfer and I don't drink, some good "talent" usually working.

Nothing like missing a full day of college football because of flying back home and being in a damn airport all day.

The Nexus 6 honestly wasn't that bad of a phone.

It is just too damn big for my liking and it was pretty expensive. Plus, there wasn't a smaller variant that was supposed to be the direct successor to the Nexus 5.

Still rocking my nexus 6. Might even take it to Q3/4 2017.

Adrian Courrèges Discusses DOOM Rendering Techniques

quote:

Adrian Courrèges is a software developer who, from time to time, does a break down on rendering techniques for major gaming titles. His latest one is on DOOM, and it explains, in remarkably simple (given the subject matter) terms, how the game draws a frame at a point early in the game. Most of the information was gathered from using debug tools, but a bit was pulled from Tiago Sousa and Jean Geffroy's slide deck at last month's SIGGRAPH conference.

I have my router in the living room for my new house but all my stuff is in my basement. I have a cable running from the living room router to my basement so I can hardline everything but I have about 5 devices. Any recommendations for a switch or something?

Get a cheap TP-Link switch off Amazon.

8port should run about $30-40bucks.

AMD grabs another 7% of market share for Q2 2016 over Q1.

Q2 2015 AMD had 18% market share, YOY Q2 2016 they have 30%, in desktop discrete graphics. Total discrete graphics market share up to 34.2%.

Atta boys.

Think I will hold onto my shares until at least 2017, AMD is just doing too many things right, right now, to let go of my shares.
