- The 8K 12K game in real time has been shown from a play PC powered by AMD
- Horizon Forbidden West was the demonstration game
- The Samsung TV was a personalized unit
Here is an exciting news that comes with a strange warning that will perhaps temperate your excitement: a (apparently) global demo has been displayed on 8K 120FPS real-time games on a Samsung 8K TV on HDMI.
It is impressive, but there are strange questions on this subject, because even if all the technologies involved seem to be available imminently in consumer products, the 8K association said that the television was personalized (via flatpanelhd).
The game itself played on an AMD Costaud game PC – do not expect this performance on a PS5 Pro – and was made at 5k and was unbalanced at 8k.
What has Samsung just showed?
Thus, the real element of the “first world” seems to be the demo of 8k 120fps on HDMI. HDMI 2.1 cannot really manage the full bandwidth from 8K to 120 Hz, so a technology called DSC is used to compress video – in the future, HDMI 2.2 should overcome this.
In the meantime, however, it is necessary. And you might assume that this technology was what should be personalized on television, as it was generally not a feature of the best 8K TVs in the past – but in fact the latest Samsung televisions, such as the Samsung Qn900F, are already assessed to take care of DSC. We do not know why the TV had to be modified, leaving a little questioning about the demo.
The Samsung TV has been connected to a PC PROTEGEAR with an AMD Ryzen 7,9800x3d processor (the same as that of our new 8K Gaming PC) and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, with the 5K photo it generated in 8K using FidelityfX Super Resolution 3K of AMD.
There were therefore a few fudges necessary to reach 8k 120 images per second, but it could be good. There is already a lot of current scaling in the game anyway, so we can forgive this. And the latest Samsung 8K televisions may have correct HDMI support for the compressed transmission 8K 120Hz, and there was another reason for it to be personalized.
Maybe this level of playing of play is coming to our first rooms soon … as long as you have money. It’s $ 3,300 for the 8K 65 -inch TV, $ 800 for the GPU and $ 500 for the CPU – plus the rest of the PC. Although it is much cheaper than doing it with an NVIDIA RTX 5090, at least.
