AMD Wants to Standardize PC Gaming 277

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday May 19, 2008 @04:07PM from the long-road-ahead dept.

Vigile writes "Even though PC gaming has a very devout fan-base, it is impossible to not see the many benefits that console gaming offers: faster loads, better compatibility and more games that fully utilize the hardware to name a few. AMD just launched a new initiative called AMD GAME! that attempts to bring some of these benefits to PC games as well. AMD will be certifying hardware for two different levels of PC gaming standards, testing compatibility with a host of current and future PC titles as well as offering up AMD GAME! ready components or pre-built systems from partners."

16-core at 5.5mhz makes 88 millihertz and 8264234gb makes approximately 1033 kilogram*byte. Surprising specifications.

Grranimals. That's what the average Joe needs: "Hmm. Crysis has a picture of a hippo on it...this video card also has a hippo. Best Buy, meet Visa."

It's so stupid to say "your eyes run at 24fps" - your eyes don't have a refresh rate. They aren't powered by cathode ray guns or liquid crystals.
Mine are. *Slides on Cyclops-like glasses*
