I refuse to play, or buy anything until ULTRA resolution comes out for it. Is it in the works? Or is it a deal with apple basically?
Im on the $1400 Samsung Tab S8 Ultra (Destroys the ipad pro 12.9) and it can easily handle Ultra, looks like UTTER crap on High/Max everything without Ultra on.
I just refuse to play period.
Good news but… Meh. Even I don’t play that game I’d be more excited for revealed lore pieces or a good update patch. Higher resolution is just same game with larger download size. Good news for people with expensive brand new computer rigs. I’m too old to get excited for it.
Yeah, because buying $1400 tablets is what we should be playing the game on, budgets don’t matter. And since you have to pay to win that game, $1400 is pennies, right?
LOL
New ULTRA resolution… Same garbage game
iPad devices supported. $1400 Samsung is not. Tough sucklage.
The S8 Ultra is a 2022 device. Notice the lack of anything past 2020 on the supported device list. Obviously the machine can handle ultra settings, but either hasn’t been certified by Blizzard yet and/or the article just hasn’t been updated.
If Blizzard is hard locking ultra to a device list then it needs to step up its game and get newer devices certified. Even many of the cheaper devices released this year can handle ultra.
This creature forgot to tell here that the difference between the current resolution and the ultra one is discernible only on 50 inch TV or in Cinemas…
In devices with screen-sizes of 7-8-9 inch makes no difference unless you see the game with a …microscope.
The sheep are always victim of their own ignorance and the hype of corporations that want to push more and more expensive (and sometime unnecessary) gear.
Human eyes have some physical limits. Hype makes the sheep pay extra for screens with 200 fps when 24 (or max 30) is the limit.
Tomorrow they will sell speakers that operate on 1HZ- 30 000HZ when a donkey knows that normal human hearing operates at 16HZ-18 000.
What a circus!
Yeah but what about those songs with hidden frequencies included to provide maximum enjoyment for your pets?
Got to think about the pets.
Unless your pets are bats… Maybe dogs also can hear beyond 18 000HZ but for sure they do not have the bat-gear. On the other hand dogs “hear” with their ears, bats “see” with their famous echolocation ability.
I like your post.
It’s actually more about the third and fifth order harmonics that multitimbre sounds can create when higher sample rates are used for the individual sounds (second order harmonics are created by the room reverberations, which is what room correction tries to eliminate). Does nothing for what ranges we can hear, but it does make the speakers capable of actually playing back those harmonics. Less important on the low end but more noticeable in the 3-10 KHz range.
That said, unless impeccably mastered the nth order harmonics will be undesirable or worse, gibberish.
Anywho, ultra doesn’t necessarily require higher resolution to be useful. But with D:I I doubt there’s that much difference between high and ultra unless you can visibly see each pixel.
Ok so as of now…Ultra will only be available on Apple devices?? Cool, guess ill Uninstall now.
Precisely. Why such thing requires opening a whole thread is beyond me.
This is a myth. Human eyes can see separate frames well past 100 fps.
Even more so if you happen to have nystagmus like I do. That’s why I specifically chose a 22" CRT for my Macs twenty years go that were able to run 800x600 @ 120 Hz or 1280x960 @ 100 Hz. I needed the high refresh to offset the fact that anything less than ~100 Hz and my only “good” eye’s rapid back and forth movement meant that I could literally see each scanline being drawn. That’s migraine inducing and why I hated TVs prior to 1080p and newer.
Why though? Once the pixel density reaches a certain point, most people’s eyes won’t be able to discern the difference. Some who claim they can are lying.
Some people have better than 20/20 vision. That does happen. Not to me though, sadly. I used to be able to hear a dog whistle in my now completely deaf right ear. Couldn’t hear low frequencies, just really high ones. The human body is weird like that sometimes.
Don’t forget factors like screen size, distance between viewer and screen, etc.
While I can’t account for how everyone else uses their monitor/tablet/screen, I can get close enough to say the 4K TV to make out the difference between it playing an HD stream and a 4K stream. Hell I don’t even need to get that close to be honest with that, but with a smaller monitor you would. And for me I would have to wear some cheaters, because at my age things don’t focus as easily close up as they used to. lol
Game on.
I’m referring to those tiny screens with HUGE pixel density that are marketed to make people go “omg wow!” Yeah, get into larger screens and it starts to matter more.
Yeah, I can’t tell on something like a high end phone really. Might look a little clearer to me, but that’s it.
