DF Titanfall BETA Tech Anlysis X1/PC

And others prefer the keyboard/mouse for accuracy (not that it matters, because the XB1 controller will soon be supported anyway).

Options are awesome.

Yeah, if I'm playing competitively, KB/mouse would be my first choice for accuracy. If I'm playing for fun, I don't mind the controllers.
 
Here is a question, how well does that 750i hold up in games like BF4 and AC4 ?
 
Guys, this thread confused me enough that I went out and bought a cheap PC GPU and plugged it in to my TV via HDMI but nothing happened.
 
I don't mean to be hostile here, but did you even read my post before you and derp decided to respond?

I could analyze it word for word and be a condescending douche about it, but maybe just read it once or twice more and then get back to me on the "So please, in the future do us all a favor and stop posting regarding something you've no clue about."/"You are definitely wrong"-part.

Put lightly, you both missed the point. But go ahead and get defensive. :laugh:

It was a not so subtle way of saying "Yeah, but you need a $1000 PC to do that" to which I destroyed that argument.

It was a valiant effort, but all for naught I'm afraid.

no no, let them keep having their LULZ at the 149$ GPU being so much better than the X1... soon they will read and see where you were coming from. well maybe... it might be more fun to LOL more for them ;)

RE: above, subtle, valiant, naught and so forth.


IdleHands , I just checked my steam account worth, sitting around $2k. I think I spent maybe $3-400 tops on all of that. So I saved more than you, come at me bro.

Makes a not so subtle statement designed to brush off this news with a "yeah, but they used a $1000 PC".
Claims we don't "get it"
We get it.
Then goes on to help bolster my point.

Good job there, pal

You two seemed to take that as me saying that "it takes $1k+++ to run the game better than console version!!". That wasn't my intention.

The hell it wasn't. If that wasn't your intention then why not say "They used a $1K PC, wonder if a $500 PC could get the same performance?"

You did it with the sole intention of inflaming and misleading people and it didn't work. Now, instead of just admitting your inflammatory rhetoric you're going on about "but they didn't understand me".

Let me throw the X1 version a bone...Because of the X1's better communication abilities and its better controller (Both IMO of course)
Id rather and am getting the X1 version at 1st.

Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Mumble are all leagues ahead of X1 party/game chat.

Skype isn't bad tho, so if you can easily use that with group/game chat then I retract my statement.

Not really considering that BF4 test was @ ultra settings with 2x msaa and at full 1080p. I don't think the xb1 would even come close to averaging 36 fps with those settings lol.
 
So, BF4 could be run at average of 36 fps at 1080p ultra quality. Not bad, considering that XB1 runs the game at 720p and less than ultra settings.

Alright, you got me. You know what I was thinking better than I do. Bravo.

Done.
 
Well for games like BF4 you really do need to take the other system components into account more.

Definitely more CPU bound than Titanfall.

Not that you can even really buy a CPU for a gaming PC as weak as these next gen consoles at this point. Maybe throw a 750TI in an iPad :troll:

Yes, but if you just drop the res to 720P it will not = 60FPS. you will have to lower other settings. how much, don't know. Which is why I said comparable. Also aren't Battlefield games very CPU reliant ?

Yep, they are. but again, you could build all that and be well under 1k.


Certainly not within $500 though, in that regard, for the cost, Xb1 and PS4 is pretty darn awesome.

Don't really want to get in to the whole cost debate, but yeah, doesn't seem overly special. I don't know Dollar value but I reckon you could could build that for around £600 ( £130 more than xbox)

Also consider the live costs. Over the course of 7-8 years, you'll actually spend more on consoles.
 
R7 260X w/ 2 free games... cheaper than 750 ti. How does that stack up in Titanfall?

is a 750ti going to last you that long ? highly doubt it. in 3 years that will need upgrading.
 
I personally don't care that much about the cost arguments.

I'm just disappointed in general with the next-gen power; will likely mean less high end PC components truly being taken advantage of.

Oh well.. I like the current state of graphics as is.. but outside of the off chance of some game really being ported poorly so it needs vast pools of VRAM, I think my Titan truly was the waste most people told me it would be.. lol.. even my 780.

I kind of disagree. It's quite possible something like a 750Ti will last you well into this console generation; PC games usually don't start really pushing the envelope past the current generation of consoles until a new generation is near and upgrading their engines to tech that is going to be out on consoles soon makes sense.

This generation we were already beyond all of that well over a year before the generation started :(

The GPU manufacturers will continue to push new features, but I have a feeling most of it will revolve around efficiency/cost/low heat/mobile uses.

Yeah...you are right.
I have BF4 on PC. I can play it on ultra everything maxed @ 60fps.
I've played the game on a friends xb1...it is like a mix of medium high. Lighting is particularly inferior on the Xb1 vs PC in addition to the 720p and the reduced AA..
Also I swear there are parts where the textures on the Xb1 version are set to low. Not everywhere...but in random places.

I don't know that that will be the case this time around. With both consoles being very similar to PCs I foresee (I'll agree this is wishful thinking) games being made on PC for PC then trimmed to work on the consoles. I don't know a lot about game development but it just seems it would be the best solution if they're going to go x1/ps4/pc.

My personal assumptions aside, there was a report on joystiq today (or maybe yesterday) where game developers were polled (after DICE IIRC) and a majority of them said they plan on releasing games on PC. What kinds of games is anyones guess, for all we know most of those that answered PC are the KINGs and pop caps of the dev world.

Only the MP of BF4 is really CPU bound. The single player isn't.

That's.. not true at all. The SP campaign is well known for performing better on quad-core CPU's, which is a rarity.

This is for SP:

Titanfall's numbers are much more "flat" across the board with different CPU's.
