Hello Hard members!
Well i've got 2 290'xs i'm using at the moment. Been a long time Nvidia fan ever since ATi dropped the ball after the 9800pro (godly).
So far, I like the 290x's. I think they will become even more powerful over time because of things like mantle optimization in games. Let's keep in mind these next gen consoles are all built with AMD hardware, hint hint.
Anyways, TrueAudio is a set of hardware DSP's on these graphics card PCB's. Essentially in a sense, a hardware soundcard tacked on to the GPU PCB.
Supposedly game developers which have tested it have praised it highly (read up on Thief & Trueaudio support). Personally, I haven't played Thief.
I'm wondering about the prospects of this technology. Anybody know the snR of this DSP? I've been thinking about buying a new creative ZX series, but want to know the possibilities of this Trueaudios DSP first. For example, would it be able to run my Winamp and power my MP3's with clarity?
I know this is early tech, thoughts?
Good day
