Ultra HD, the next generation of high definition video and audio, which has been in development for several years, could be in production as soon as the year 2011 or 2012, according to Philips...

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
But is 7680 x 4320 really necessary? I mean 1080P is more then enough for me.
What's the point in going above 1080p when nothing supports it, Blu-ray, PS3 & Xbox 360 are the only HD sources and they only go upto 1080p.
right now there is some limitations :
1-even HD display technology isnt perfect (PURE black,178' REAL view angle,full RGB ..)
2-OLED displays are near perfect but their price isnt affordable
3-storage media (perhaps Blu-ray 100 or 200 will be enough )
4-players and Computers boundwidth ( BD players have 55 Mb/s BW , for that resolution GOD knows how many Mb/s will be needed )
I think its impossible to have Ultra HD displays and players in 2011 with reasonable price..
all I want is a 60" OLED HD display (EDIT :for under 3000$ price) :D
Well, since the trend naturally is to go bigger and better, I think external upscalers will see a rise in sales in the future. Although those will be a challenge on their own, upscaling a normal DVD to Ultra HD in realtime will take a lot of processing power.
