I dont even know what it is :manny:

edit: 46 mins.. nah son.
There is a shorter 5min video, just youtube tiled resources and peep game :win:

Then when your ready to join your fanboy friends who claim PS4 has this as well? Look for that :lolbron:
You'll see how that story stems from a fanboy from neogaf saying "GPU's have something similar" which while there is truth to that
It doesn't translate into DriveClub. And it won't be applied to any game on PS4 because its not just something they can do right now
If they could, they would.

Tiled Resources aka "The Secret Sauce" is what it be bruh :win:

MegaTexturing demo from the presentation,

MegaTexturing in Rage

Exact same premise. This won't allow 4k gaming dummy

" This is basically demand-paging of large texture data. The latest iD Software graphics engine does something similar, the texture data is streamed in only when tiles on the screen "fault."

However, the big difference here is that this is a hardware feature, this is much like sparse / partially resident textures in the OpenGL world (an AMD extension). What amounts to tile faults are generated whenever a portion of the texture that is not resident is first fetched. It is an interesting idea that can significantly cut down on memory consumption and bandwidth since it is no longer necessary to fetch an entire texture all at once whenever it is sampled, but in theory it will introduce a bit of latency in order to service fault events.

It really should not be your first time hearing of an application of this feature. It is the first time this feature has been hardware accelerated in DirectX, however.

The real problem is that this is mistaken for a Microsoft / Xbox One exclusive feature. It is an AMD hardware feature, and there is no reason it cannot be implemented on the PS4 in OpenGL, especially when you consider it began life as an AMD OpenGL extension...

Differences in the memory subsytems also gives us some insight into each approach to the next-gen consoles. Microsoft opted for embedded SRAM + DDR3, while Sony went for a very fast GDDR5 memory interface. Sony’s approach (especially when combined with a beefier GPU) is exactly what you’d build if you wanted to give game developers the fastest hardware.

:beli:

Who's coming with the caveats now?

You asked which type of ram was "faster" and there really is no way to answer that question without caveats because each is faster in a different way.

No. In fact, it's been exposed that some of his sources are bullshyt. 1 of his sources are literally a dude from some forum called: beyond3d
Specs have not been confirmed for either console yet. It's all rumors at this point. And y'all have no problem believing random forum posters as long as they are saying what you want to hear.:ufdup:

:russ: at you being in denial about the specs despite the fact that both consoles are well into production.

35 pages of shytting on ps4s ram... then some devs say its 6gb and now ram doesnt matter anymore.
im done :dead:

*you gotta admit you're a little dissapointed that ps4 wont be able to deliver the games it was promising. PWAAAHAHAHHA PS4 trash. WOUuuuuuuuuuuuuu :stylin: The systems are practically the same now. Xbox one advantage *

(sees 6 gigs of ram games in development)

*well at the end of the day its all about good games and this gen will come down to features like tv when you consider ram wont make that big of a difference. its all rumors anyway*

Theres no way you xbots are going to feel good about purchasing that big brother cable tv box that you can play games on when you see how this ps4 is shining in its superiority. Especially when those official flop numbers come out. Haw man this will be a legendary gen of flopping for xbox.
