what are you doing here i'm hosting i thought you were fired oh
really really that's what you've got yeah no i'm here
and we're hosting i'm doing the tech news cool tech news yesterday at gdc
2019 google showed us all the future of
gaming and guess what guys if you thought it was a box it's not it's a
place a stadium or rather a stadia
google stadia is a game streaming service that'll run on any pc running
chrome any tv equipped with the chromecast or any mobile device with the
app stadia will have virtually no local processing everything will run off of
cloud machines powered by cpus and gpus custom built by AMD with the ability to
stream up to 4k and 60fps what they will
stream beyond assassin's creed and doom is still unclear as statey apparently
runs on Linux in the vulcan API the giant question on everyone's mind
however is latency the stadia controller will connect directly to the stadius
servers via wi-fi instead of routing through your device and google says they
developed a number of other ways to minimize lag on the back end but we
obviously can't know for sure until the service launches digital foundry got
some early testing done and found that latency is obviously higher than local
gaming on pc and consoles and that isn't going to fly for intense multiplayer FPS
games like anthem what my favorite game i hate anthem
as is usually the case with giant unveilings like this one there was a lot
of fanfare and not a lot of gritty details if stadia does what it says it
can do it could be the start of a revolution in game streaming i might
even throw on my gaming pc no that's not i'm tossing it it's gone different
things it's not for us no NVIDIA also
had a bunch of things to announce this week at gtc 2019 they're so full of
themselves that they had to have their own conference ray tracing will be coming to regular
old gtx graphics cards the gtx 10 and 16
series gpus will be able to run a lower quality version of the technology once
the update rolls out fancy rt cores or no rtx is also coming to more games
including tomb raider finally remedy's upcoming game control and quake 2
of all things it actually looks super cool and it's
interesting as a showcase of what fancy lighting and textures can do even in low
polygon environments the unity game engine is also adding rtx support as a
built-in feature wow it's almost enough to make you believe in the glory of ray
tracing i should probably pre-order it wait no yeah yeah pre-order let's do it
you can't even pre-order i'm gonna i want it yeah vr headsets are kind kinda
blah but the hp reverb seems to address some of the medium's problems it has two
lcd panels with 2160 by 2160 pixels per
eye compared to the 2160 by 1200 per eye
resolution of the htc vive pro with a slightly larger field of view as well
it'll be available in late april starting at 600 usd
it also happens to look extremely similar to the oculus rift that is not
the new oculus rift s that was also just announced the rift s is a 400 pc
tethered headset that removes the need for external tracking cameras room scale
vr that can be accomplished via built-in tracking it also has upgraded lenses and
increased resolution but is still just 1280 by 1440 per eye and for some reason
oculus reduced the refresh rate from 90 to 80 hertz
no oculus that's you want higher refresh rates that's that's not how you do it
