Is there a difference? Honestly i can't see it, which is why i hate these comparisons...i know there is a difference, you just can't see it via compressed YouTube magic

 

I thought there was a pretty massive difference if you watch the 1080p 60fps video of the new trailer.  I think Eurogamer has it posted but it is blocked from here so can't check.

Got it, was just watching it in the default mini-screen. As i'm sure there's going to be a difference and the main thing is the extra content anyway, will just wait until the 29th...of July. It's not like we're getting older, gaming industry, don't worry about us! :s

You can definitely see the difference.

 

If you don't see the difference it might explain why so many people don't care about running their games at native res lol

 

You can definitely see that the PS3 version is blurry because of the upscaling.

Ah lol that explain why you did not see any difference.

Don't remember it looking bad either, but then i didn't think OutRun looked bad in 1986, thought it looked fantastic...what was the native resolution on the original PS3 build? 1280 x 720 right? Yeah guess the upscaling to 1080 made it look a little blurry. Did the campaign twice and thought it looked amazing for something running on half the RAM of a mid-range smartphone!

Sony Announces The Last of Us Remastered PS4 Bundle For Europe

 
by Matt Helgeson on June 27, 2014 at 11:01 AM

lastofusbundle610.jpg

Gamers on the other side of the pond will be able to get a new PlayStation 4 bundle that includes a copy of the newly remastered version of Naughty Dog's masterpiece.

 

The news comes from the European PlayStation Blog. The bundle includes a standard black PlayStation 4, a DualShock 4 controller, and a copy of The Last of Us Remastered. It retails for 429 euros (the PlayStation 4 usually sells for 399 euros so players will be getting a discount on the game).

 

At present time, this bundle is only announced for Europe, not the U.S.

Sony reveals special edition The Last of Us and Destiny-themed PS4 consoles

But they're only available in Japan for now.

 

By Tom Phillips Published Friday, 18 July 2014

 

Sony Japan has shown off two new PlayStation 4 models themed around the upcoming launches of Destiny and The Last of Us Remastered.

 

As in Europe, Sony will sell Destiny alongside a white-coloured console. The Japanese version, however, also features a nifty Destiny logo.

Another Japanese bundle will offer the PS4 alongside The Last of Us Remastered. This design includes the game's logo and the silhouettes of main characters Joel and Ellie.

Both consoles will come with a copy of their respective game.

 

It's not the first time that Sony has created a custom PlayStation 4 for Japan. Earlier this month it revealed a rather unexpected design themed around Disney's Frozen, after the film topped Japan's box office for 16 straight weeks.

I really, really don't like these special editions. I saw the frozen one on Kotaku the other day and it reminded me of kids in primary school who had gold pens who crudely scribbled on their folders.

 

The destiny one doesn't look too bad, but that is because it is just text and a simple logo. Those silhouettes and outline designs look terrible.

Have to agree w/Complex on this one.

no offense but these "special editions" are rather lame. it's just a sticker :/

 

 

Silver lining? The designs being stickers, when you realise how fugly they are, you can peal them off.

After seeing the gamers response to Photo Mode in Infamous, Naughty Dog are adding one into TLoU, at the moment they're saying you can "Detach the camera and mess with the DoF". This obviously also confirms a day 1 patch for the game. They are also confirming the game is a mammoth 50GB Install to the hard drive.

 

Damn, if HD remakes of last-gen games are completely filling dual-layer Blu-Ray disks this early in the generation, will they be enough to last the whole gen?

Well the game doesn't have to fit on a single disk, seeing as I think both consoles make you install the entire game anyway.

 

Just as long as we only have to have Disk 1 in to verify. I'd hate to have to change disks mid-way through a game.

actually the way the remakes are, it is expected to be larger size then the coding on the same material from scratch.  it is a remake after all.   something was made and then remade. cannot possibly be as trim as original coding of the same thing?

 

 i hope i am correct on this, but it just makes sense to me.   if i am wrong, please explain why?

I'd imagine both MS and Sony would replicate the 360's multi-disc solution. At the start of the generation you needed to switch discs but once installing to the HDD was possible switching fell out of fashion.

It is likely this size because the game is just so lengthy. Lots of high-res textures and uncompressed audio.

 

Will the PS4 be compatible with any of the larger blu ray media as they become available?

Unfortunately, it will not. The larger media requires more than just a certain firmware I believe, and neither Sony or MS included a drive with the necessary hardware.

So unless they found a way around that, we won't see any support.

Not quite sure what's going on with those screenshots, looks almost like they took it from the PS3 version.

 

I caught someone streaming it on Twitch last night and it seemed really good, better than those screenshots indicate.

I saw them earlier elsewhere and I was puzzled if this was really a "remaster" of any type. They look almost as if they just upped the res and called it a day.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
