- Real -time 8k 120 fps games were shown from a PC of games with AMD
- Horizon Forbidden West was the demonstration game
- The Samsung TV was a personalized unit
Here are some exciting news that come with a strange warning that may be tempered its emotion: a world demonstration (apparently) world of real -time games of 8K 120 fps on a Samsung 8K television on HDMI was shown.
That is impressive, but there are some strange questions about it, because despite the fact that all the technology involved seems to be imminently available in consumer products, the 8K association said the TV was modified to measure (through Flatpanelshd).
The game itself was playing in a PC of refuge AMD games, do not wait for this performance in a PS5 Pro, and rendered to 5K and increased to 8K.
What has Samsung just show?
So, the true ‘world’ element here seems to be the demonstration of the 8K 120 fps games on HDMI. HDMI 2.1 cannot handle the full bandwidth from 8K to 120Hz, so a technology called DSC is used to compress the video; In the future, HDMI 2.2 should overcome this.
Meanwhile, however, it is necessary. And it can assume that this technology is what should be personalized on the TV, since it has generally been a characteristic of the best 8K televisions in the past, but in reality the last Samsung televisions, such as the Samsung QN900F, are already qualified to admit DSC. Therefore, it is not clear why television should be modified, leaving a little of a questioning sign about the demonstration.
The Samsung TV connected to a MAINGAR PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3D (the same as in our new Gaming 8K PC) and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, with the 5K image 5K that generated it became 8K using the Fidelityfx Super Resolution 3 of AMD.
So some fudges were needed to get to the 8k 120 fps games, but that could be fine. Anyway, there are already many advantages in the games, so we can forgive that. And it may be that the last Samsung 8K televisions have the correct HDMI support for the compressed transmission of 8k 120Hz, and there was another reason to customize it.
Perhaps this level of clarity of the game comes to our front rooms soon … as long as you have the cash. That is $ 3,300 for 65 -inch 8K TV, $ 800 for the GPU and $ 500 for the CPU, plus the rest of the PC. Although that is much cheaper than doing it with a Nvidia RTX 5090, at least.
