At the moment, it can only access the music/video folders and not an external drive or the BD drive, the rest is add-on dependant. It's a start though.
I have 4K movies on my server, I want to stream them over to my new 4K telly.
Do people play their games on mute? I'm not understanding how you could possibly hear the system. Loading screens maybe? I think that's the HDD. Weird complaint. And unless you play games with the PS4 on your lap, I'm not sure how you'd know how hot it gets or care.
Was at my mates yesterday and he has a PS4 Pro and yes its loud enough to hear over the TV. Its 360 levels of noise and I can tolerate more noise than most.
Can I justifie spending that sort of cash? Would it help with encoding video using handbrake? I don't do nearly enough proper video editing to Max this 6800K and 5930K I have now. I now that Handbrake show's deminshing returns once you got over 12 threads.
That is of course thinking logically, **** that. I have more money than sense. I'll be getting one. Should also do nicely for Folding at Home.
Might even get one of each. X299 and Threadripper? Oooooo me likey.
@The_Stand_In: So, giving PC gamers this option is a terrible thing?
I wouldn't call Dynamic Resolution changing a good option for PC users. While it might not be noticable when viewed at a distance, sitting up close as already mentioned it would be really obvious. Sometimes having too many options isn't always the best thing.
So, decision for having this option for other PC gamers is yours to make?
No but have you seen it as an option in PC games today? Why bother working on something like that when its not going to be widely used? Its the same as 3 way and 4 way SLI. Its only ever used by a tiny fraction of the market there is no sense in putting time, effort and money into it.
When you're sat away from the screen like you would with a console then the effect of changing resolutions on the fly isn't that noticeable so it makes sense to do as it would save on valuable system resources but when you're at a monitor like most PC gamers are it becomes super obvious and immersion breaking.
Besides, PC games have graphics options that allow users to tailor the gaming experience to their liking. Do you want maximum framerates so you sacrifice graphical quality? Or maybe you want all the eye candy and FPS isn't all that important? Dynamic Resolution changing isn't needed when you have a suite of options that allows you to change almost every aspect of how the game looks. Consoles don't have that option as well as being hamstrung by low end hardware so they need all the help they can get.
Good job I don't have to compromise! That being said, I think I'll wait for Volta to upgrade this 980Tis I have.
Is Volta the next iteration of the nvidia cards? Ah I see. It's likely to be 12 nm FinFET (funword). If we'll see that arrive end 2017/begin 2018 I might wait for it too.
My bet is that Nvidia are waiting on AMD to show what they have with VEGA before they choose what to do with Volta, if VEGA is amazing then we'll get Big Volta pretty soon. If VEGA is pants then Nvidia will drip feed us little Volta then maybe Big Volta later on.
Nvidia have already shown off the first line of Volta products with the V100 which is using the GV-100 GPU, Big Volta. Most likely the consumer level cards will use GV102 and GV104 respectively. There is also conflicting rumours about whether consumer level cards will use HBM2 or the new GDDR6X
