There must be a creative decision rather than a technical one to opt for lower res+AA instead of native 1080p.

I don't think anyone goes for lower resolution for creative reasons. They obviously couldn't pull it off in full HD so they lowered it.

THat's why I said originally in another thread. I knew they couldn't do full 1080p. this resolution they are going with is half the pixels of true 1080p and with nicer anti-aliasing it's 720p probably. This is probably the same approach as with Forza.

In terms of creative I was thinking that its better to downscale the current setup to 720p, which is what most people will run, rather than having native 1080p with no AA being run at 720p with huge amounts of aliasing.

I still think the game will look great and as AB stated, vertical resolution is more important than horizontal in this instance.

I'm pretty sure PD have thought of msot of our concerns and have obviously chosen a middle ground.

Except Forza doesn't do higher than 720 horizontally, so no, it's not the same approach.

And it's slightly higher than half the pixels.

Gran Turismo 5 publicity begins with Citro?n>

Gran Turismo 5 publicity starts with Citro?n and Polyphony Digital's supercar.b>

Racing London in Gran Turismo 5 was a fantasy we thought we'd never be able to enjoy in real-life. That's somewhat true, but today Citro?n offered their stunning concept supercar, the GTbyCITRO?N, to the city and recreated the circuit featured in Gran Turismo 5.

Yes, it looks like Polyphony Digital is starting to advertise Gran Turismo 5 already, adding evidence to a late-2009 release.

The GTbyCITROEN is the result of a partnership between Citro?n and Polyphony, measuring 4.96 meters and just over a metre high, sporting wide air intakes, rear air-diffuser, horizontal LED headlamps, gull wing doors, diamond-effect 21-inch aluminium wheels, black leather finishes and hi-tech racing controls.

You can find a selection of photographs of the car's tour of London below, but be warned, some of the photos are not as they seem.

The GTbyCITRO?N will make its UK show d?but at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, 3rd to 5th Ju[uPDATE]TE] - Lets make this a little more interesting. We'll send out a selection of goodies to two commenters who correctly identify which photographs are real and which are from Gran Turismo 5.

Each prize will include a copy of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP, a Hellboy plastic model, Volume 1 of The Slayers on DVD, Huntik: Trading Card Game DVD, and a Darksiders art card signed by a member of the development team! Remember to click on the images to take a closer look. Terms and conditions below.*

Looks like OPM UK is getting the actual exclusive article piece (out next week)....

DSC00918.jpg

OPM France is just a 2 page teaser

playstationmagazine-GT2.jpg

playstationmagazine-GT1.jpg

Although from translations apparently the mag confirms a 2009 release.

well having just read it... there really is NOTHING new in there.

they say that Polyphony have aquired the WRC and Nascar License. (NO NEWS SINCE ITS IN THE FREAKIN TRAILER)

then they confirm it will be out in 09, which is cool, but why trust them more than any other source whos been saying that.

and then they go on saying how great it looks, and how most of the usual gran turismo courses and championships will be there.

finally they say that E3 demo gave them a glimpse of the damage system in GT5, but this also we know for ourselves seeing as "the glimpse" was in the trailer.

... damn french :p

Yamauchi: ?We will give the release date of GT5 soon.?

In a short but sweet interview with AutoWeek magazine which must have fallen through the cracks with all the other E3 news, GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi stated that ?We will give the release daGran Turismo 5 5 soon.? The question remains, though - just how soon is ?soon?? Speculation is mounting in our forums, with many pointing towards the upcoming Tokyo Game Show this September 24-27. Aside from taking place on Polyphony Digital?s home turf (their offices are located in Tokyo), the 2007 TGS show is where they announced the relGT5 Prologue. rologue. While this is just speculation, you can see the pieces of the puzzle would fit together quite nicely. Another surprisingly interesting portion of the interview came when Yamauchi waGran Turismo 1 Turismo 1?s devAW: [AW: How hard was it to make that fiKY: iKY: It took five years. In those five years, we could not see the end. I would wake up at work, go to sleep at work. It was getting cold, so I knew it must be winter. I estimate I was home only four days a year.days a year.

[/indent] He also mentioned the original game was created by a staff of only 7 people! Oh, how things have changed?.

    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
    • Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026 by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced several new education-focused software features and interactive displays for schools during ISTELive 2026, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 June to 1 July. The focus of these updates is on making shared classroom displays easier to use for teachers while giving IT administrators more control over managing devices. One of the key additions is the Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS). In many schools, multiple teachers share the same interactive display throughout the day, which means signing in and setting everything up can become repetitive. With AMS, teachers can log in by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC-enabled ID card. Once signed in, their personalised workspace, including wallpapers, bookmarks, app shortcuts, and files, can be instantly accessed through Home Personalisation. Samsung has also included a screen lock feature, allowing teachers to lock the display if they need to step away briefly. Furthermore, the company is also updating its Education Portal with new tools designed for school IT administrators. The portal will allow IT administrators to register teachers, enrol devices, and manage user access from a central dashboard. Administrators can also link NFC cards to teacher accounts, making sign-ins quicker across shared displays. Another addition is a Tags feature that lets schools organise displays by building or classroom. Those tags can also be used to send emergency notifications to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through compatible platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor. Moreover, the tech giant's AI Assistant is gaining several new features aimed at supporting everyday classroom tasks such as lesson planning and classroom engagement. One of the features is Circle to Search, which lets teachers circle text or images on the display to quickly find related information, videos, or web results without interrupting the lesson. The content can then be brought into Samsung Whiteboard. Another feature, Live Transcript, converts spoken lessons into real-time captions, which could be useful for students with hearing impairments or those in multilingual classrooms. The AI Assistant also introduces AI Summary and AI Quiz. The summary tool creates summaries of recorded lessons, while AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson content so teachers can quickly check how well students are following along. Teachers signed in through Samsung AMS can also return to their previous AI-generated lesson materials without logging in again. Alongside the software updates, Samsung has expanded its Android-based Interactive Display range with three new models: the WAF-S, WAFX-PS, and WAHX-M. The WAF-S and WAFX-PS ship with Android 16, bringing updates to security, accessibility, and overall usability while maintaining compatibility with Google's education services including Google Classroom and Google Drive through EDLA certification. Meanwhile, the new WAHX-M is the biggest addition to the lineup, introducing a 98-inch display for larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. It will also be available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch sizes. Samsung says the WAHX-M further includes on-device AI features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and an AI calculator, alongside support for Samsung AMS and AI Assistant. Samsung AI Assistant has been available since April, while Samsung AMS and the updated Education Portal will begin rolling out in July.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It's been $24 (single) or $89 (4-pack) for many days on both Amazon and Walmart as far as I know. That isn't a big discount. If these end up like the 1st gen, the 4-pack will routinely get down around $80, give or take a dollar. I think they have even hit $69 at times.
