Linus Tech Tips have a video coming, its on their premium service and they were impressed too. Also tested the input lag and it was still really good.
Woah, nice.

Been following the project for a while, really great stuff.http://ptbi.metaclassofnil.com/
Adjustable AA methods and sharpening / processing, slightly more involved setup than just a cable
Thanks. I basically stopped working on it because I don't play any console games any more (and most everything modern at least has ppAA anyway).Been following the project for a while, really great stuff.
It's exceedingly unlikely it could be used, but even if it could, there would be absolutely no point.
Post-process AA is basically useless in VR (and detrimental in some ways).
Basically, in current VR, pixels are huge. Artifacts and issues that are negligible on screen can be a huge deal. In particular, image-based ppAA cannot deal with (i) temporal flickering and (ii) sub-pixel AA, while also inadvertently reducing clarity.Why is that? Even on a lower resolution VR setup? Say PSVR or a lower end PC setup. I'm sure there's a good reason but I know very little about AA obviously. Over softening of the image comes to mind immediately. But what is the main differences between a native AA solution and post processed AA?
Wait...do we really have people here saying to not trust a PCPer review... The lack of faith in a group that has much more thorough and precise testing methods (PCPer has come up with much more accurate ways of benchmarking SSD's, and they're the ones that discovered that some AMD cards were drawing more power through the PCI-e bus than the bus was rated for) is extremely disturbing.
yeah the implication is hilarious. Makes me think people do not follow these things or are just shitposting. Also, didn't they start the FCAT craze with investigations into framepacing / runt frame problems on AMD hardware?
Wait...do we really have people here saying to not trust a PCPer review, even going as far as to imply waiting for a LinusTech video for a more valid opinion is a thing? Does nobody here know who PCPer is? I would trust a review from PCPer WAAAAAAY more than anything Linus does.

This looks good though? For what they're going for that's great.It reminded me this
Where are you getting this. Has anybody said anything of the sort in this thread?
Can you point them out?

Also, here's the article from PCPer about the PCI-e power draw issue I mentioned: https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Power-Consumption-Concerns-Radeon-RX-480
Great. What do those things have to do with this thread?
The fact that people are calling bullshit on the review basically confirming what the product is doing. I just was so surprised that people were quick to dismiss a site testing this product so quickly, calling for other sources instead. Pretty much just my reaction of shock about people not trusting a credible source who reviewed the product the thread is about.
What makes you think people even know this site? People trust what they know, there is no need to be surprised that people don't know a review outlet. Nor do those comments indicate anything other than their own personal evaluation.
Strange and worthy of comment would be for them to say directly that PCper was untrustworthy.
Wait...do we really have people here saying to not trust a PCPer review, even going as far as to imply waiting for a LinusTech video for a more valid opinion is a thing?
I don't think you have to wait for someone to directly say something like that to infer that, at the very least, they don't know who or what something is. My main reason was to hopefully instill trust as to who this reviewer is and that it's not some bs source that could have just been paid to say good things about it. If anything, hopefully people will be able to add PCPer to their trusted list of review sources.
Their review was rather perfunctory.
don't cheap out your HDMI cables, get this instead.
They did some great testing / demonstrations of how G-Sync and FreeSync work/differ too, latency testing of SSDs, ping-times between cores on CPUs etc.yeah the implication is hilarious. Makes me think people do not follow these things or are just shitposting. Also, didn't they start the FCAT craze with investigations into framepacing / runt frame problems on AMD hardware?
It is. Either the cable transmits the signal correctly or you get artifacts in the picture, or it cuts out.I've always heard that the difference between HDMI cables is total bullshit, like somebody compared a $1,000 cable from a high-end electronics store with a cable for like 2 bucks from Wish and they were the same quality with no discernible differences.

Ok, it seems like he actually likes it! I wouldn't mind buying it and testing it out on my Wii U, 360, PS3 and such(Gamecube and PS2 may even be possible).Here's the video from Linus: https://youtu.be/MjJzibFTaqA
Here's a link to the Linus Tech Tips video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjJzibFTaqA
The filter doesn't seem particularly temporally stable - though I suppose that's to be expected - and the sharpening seems excessive.
Most of the comparisons from LTT are pitting 720p video with nearest neighbor scaling against the mCable result rather than against a player with high quality upscaling or a renderer like madVR, which is a bit misleading.
If there was an option to disable the sharpening, and it cost a fraction of the price, it seems like it could potentially be good for a Switch, Wii U, or earlier 3D systems via HDMI adapters - but not anything which renders sub-native resolutions and upscales itself.
Wow, really? 1st I heard of that!Stuff like Saints Row could get a performance boost if you ran in 480p.
