PC gaming exposed! - Saturday, January 26, 2013 10:21 AM ( #1 )
TIMOTHY LOTTES (creator of FXAA): As a PC guy who knows hardware to the metal, I spend most of my days in frustration knowing damn well what I could do with the hardware, but what I cannot do because Microsoft and IHVs wont provide low-level GPU access in PC APIs. One simple example, drawcalls on PC have easily 10x to 100x the overhead of a console with a libGCM style API.

I told you those $600 GPU's and constant upgrades were a scam. Stay Fray.
