4K Video Editing PC - March 2017

A few years ago, your PC just couldn't be fast enough for digital video processing. By now every average PC is able to process Standard Definition (PAL 720x576) as well as HD Ready, but technology doesn't stand still. By now just about every smartphone can record in Full HD and the new frontier is Ultra HD, also known as 4K. This resolution and the 'accompanying' codec HEVC / H.265 require seriously powerful hardware.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti review (incl. SLI): faster card for the same price

Today marks the introduction of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, with the same high-end GPU as the Titan X (Pascal), but cheaper. You can read all about this new card in this article, including benchmarks for both single-GPU and SLI.

About nine months ago Nvidia released the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 cards, based on the GP104 GPU. This is a mid-range GPU, with a die size and memory bus comparable to mid-range GPUs of previous generations. However, since AMD had no product with comparable performance, nothing stood in the way of Nvidia charging high-end prices for the GTX 1070 and 1080.

Meanwhile, Nvidia did introduce the Pascal-version of the Titan X, based on the GP102 GPU. This card was Nvidia's fastest GPU, and it was also extremely expensive. The release of a GTX 1080 Ti, with the same GPU but some differences, at some point in the future would not be surprising. After all, this is what we have seen for some generations. That point is now, probably not very coincidental, since there are some noises about AMD introducing a new high-end card (Vega).

Zelda: Breath of the Wild looks CRAZY on the PC in 4K

I've been spending hours per day playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my Nintendo Switch, and I've got to say I'm completely capitivated by the game - the world, and how damn good it feels to play in portable mode on the Switch.

Well, while it looks great - my super-beefy gaming PC with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card and AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor are sitting here - doing nothing. But when footage of Zelda: Breath of the Wild popped up on Wii U emulator Cemu 1.7.3, running in 4K, my attention was quickly thrown to the footage. The performance isn't too good, but we're talking about a software emulator, emulating the Wii U version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The developer has said it will take around 2-4 months to get the game in a state where it can be played all of the way through, explaining: "Zelda will probably be in a state where you can play it from start to finish in 2-4 months. Note that fixing ALL bugs in the game can take years but it should be comparable to Xenoblade Chronicles X in a few months".
