Q & A

What is AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology and how does it work?

AMD Fluid Motion Frames is a frame generation technology that runs at the driver level. It uses interpolation to insert extra frames between the ones rendered by the game to boost frame rates. However, since it lacks game integration, the quality of generated frames is lower than technologies like DLSS and FSR.

What are some pros and cons of AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology?

Pros: Works with most DX11/DX12 games without needing integration. Cons: Lower image quality, especially on HUD elements. Often skips frame generation during fast motion when quality would be poor. Adds minor latency.

What is AMD's new RX 7600 XT GPU?

The RX 7600 XT is AMD's latest GPU launching at $329. It has 16GB VRAM but provides similar performance to the RX 6700 XT which has been available around that price. The extra VRAM may help in certain games/applications.

How does the RX 7600 XT compare to Nvidia's RTX 4060?

The 4060 only has 8GB VRAM but offers similar performance at a lower $299 price point. The 7600 XT has more VRAM but lacks Nvidia exclusive features like DLSS and superior ray tracing.

What improvements does Nvidia claim for their new GPU drivers?

Nvidia claims their latest GPU drivers provide a 30% average performance boost in many DX11 games. Specific games listed include Battlefield 2042, Forza Horizon 5, and more.

What is RTX Remix and what does it allow?

RTX Remix is a modding tool that lets users inject ray tracing and other graphical effects into older games. It is now available in open beta for supported games like Doom and Quake.

How does the RTX 4080 Super compare to the original RTX 4080?

The 4080 Super has about 5% more cores but Nvidia claims only a 2-3% performance improvement over the standard 4080. It seems to just be a way to lower the 4080 price by $200.

What improvements is Intel claiming from their latest Arc GPU drivers?

Intel says their latest Arc drivers provide up to a 30% average FPS boost in DX11 games. Specific games range from 4% to over 100% claimed improvement.

How does Sony's CEO view game subscriptions compared to video/music?

He believes subscriptions for games are less valuable than video/music since people often play one game at a time over a long period rather than consuming lots of content.

What does Sony say about expanding PlayStation gaming to other platforms?

Sony says PlayStation will expand to PC, mobile, and cloud while remaining their core product. More PlayStation exclusives are coming to PC.
