This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

The official player communication group is very active.

It had only been a few hours since Chen Ba last opened a group chat. Unexpectedly, the number of unread group messages had reached 999+.

I don’t know which crazy administrator changed the group name to [Tianba Haoyuan Property Notification Group], and also asked everyone to write down the room number and floor before the nickname.

This directly led to Chen Ba almost thinking that he was in the wrong group when he clicked to join the group chat.

Take a look at the group leader...

It turns out to be me! That’s okay!

"The Star Emperor arcade point-taking mode is second to none, let's use some powerful skills ++++"

"Is the management here? If not, I would have to drive!"

"Old driver, hurry up and start the car. I've got Brother Ba under control. This group of people are all insiders. Don't worry..."

"Tell the newcomers about the group rules. If you want to scold the group leader, scold the group leader hard. If you can't scold the group leader, give +1. Don't force yourself to stop doing things. This group doesn't support idlers!"

Because it was working time, there were not many people online in the group. In addition to chatting and gossiping, everyone was sharing various resources and benefits.

What benefits?

Children, please stop meddling in your own business!

After banning a few guys who pushed the accelerator to the limit and drove faster, Chen Ba saw a link to a graphics card evaluation video shared by a player in the group chat history.

The player said in the group: "Watch this video. The 24:35 second extreme high-voltage test of "Star Emperor" makes me laugh to death!"

Starry Sky Emperor?

Chen Ba, who was not interested at first and just wanted to ban the old driver to maintain a green chat environment, suddenly became curious about the content of the video after seeing what he said.

Isn’t this a graphics card review video? How can it be related to "Star Emperor"?

With a trace of curiosity, he used his browser to open the Thunderbolt video link shared by this player.

[Where is the high-end graphics card? Which graphics card is the most cost-effective? The ultimate graphics card test in 2022, let me tell you the answer! 】

The title of the video is thunderous.

It can only be said that the standard skill of being an UP host in Perak Perak is probably to come up with a gimmicky video title.

Chen Ba was not confused by the title and directly clicked on the video to play it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the rows of brand new graphics cards that have been unpacked and lined up.

The left hand side is full of N cards, ranging from 10 series to 30 series. On the right side is the A card, which is smaller in number than the N card, but has all the cards that the new RX6000 series should have.

“The cost is not low!”

Yang Dong, who was carrying a bucket of instant noodles, sat down next to Chen Ba and watched the video with him: "What will they do with the graphics cards that UP owners have tested?"

"They are usually resold at a low price."

Chen Ba didn’t understand very well either.

But according to his experience, if the manufacturer’s recharge sponsorship is excluded, the tested products will generally be resold to fans or others.

You need to get your blood back!

Don't look at those UP owners in the evaluation area. They often write the words "spending XXX yuan" and "bleeding XX million yuan" in the title of their videos, calling on fans to put in coins to recharge, but who knows how much they really spent?

Maybe you didn’t spend a penny, but actually made a lot of money!

It’s hard to say anything else. At least in the digital evaluation circle, especially in the mobile phone circle, most of them are products sent by manufacturers. No one really believes that these UP owners will just buy one when they come out, right?

"Hello everyone, I'm the graphics card bug!"

"What you just saw at the beginning of the video is the graphics card we are going to test in this issue. These are also the most common graphics cards that you can buy on the market..."

While the two were chatting, the video got down to business.

This UP leader has a decent number of fans and a lot of barrages, so Chen Ba had to turn on the barrage blocking mode in order to see the video content clearly.

During the test, except for the graphics card, the other configurations were completely the same.

Each graphics card tests the performance and actual performance of multiple PC stand-alone or online games at 1080P, 2K and 4K resolutions.

"His test is not rigorous!"

Yang Dong took a sip of instant noodles and couldn't help but complain: "There are some graphics cards, although they have the same series of names, but their graphics memory and core frequency are obviously different. Can these be included in the same level test?"

"Isn't it enough to just watch it and have fun? Why are you so serious?"

Chen Ba didn't care.

Whether the test is rigorous or not, he is not the target audience of this video anyway, so there is no need to worry about it.

Soon, the test begins!

The first game used for testing was PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which was a phenomenal game in the past few years but has gradually declined in the past two years.

The test results were quite satisfactory.

Because Chen Ba also experienced PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds when it first became popular, so he knows very well that the results of the current test actually depend on game optimization.

In the early days of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, it led to a round of configuration upgrades in Internet cafes. You can imagine the experience of some graphics cards.

However, after many rounds of optimization, it is obvious that the situation is much better, at least it is not as abnormal as it was at the beginning, so it is expected that the price/performance ratio of 1060 will reach the top.

The several games tested afterward are all new games, and the optimization level is difficult to distinguish. Under this premise, the gap between N cards and A cards of the same level is also visible to the naked eye.

Again!

What you think is not optimized does not mean that the N card is not optimized. The same performance you think does not mean that the A card can perform 100%!

"It's our turn!"

The video played for a full 20 minutes, and Yang Dong had already finished eating his instant noodles. At this moment, he was staring at the screen intently, wondering how the "Star Emperor" performed in the test.

"Next is the new game, Star Emperor!"

"Some viewers may have never heard of or played this game, but that doesn't matter! You just need to know that this game is the game that most intuitively reflects the gap in graphics cards."

"OK! Without further ado, let's start the test directly..."

In the video, "Star Emperor" appears in the 1080P resolution, turning on the ultimate picture quality of the actual game screen. The graphics card tested at this time is 1050Ti!

The barrage was peaceful.

It wasn't until UP switched to 2K and 4K resolutions and the frame rate remained stable at 60 that the barrage started to raise question marks.

"No, 1050Ti is so strong?"

"I use this card myself, why didn't I find it so effective?"

"Are you kidding me? This 4K ultimate picture quality can stabilize 60 frames?"

The test performance of 1050Ti in "Star Emperor" was completely inconsistent with common sense, which also aroused exclamations and doubts in the barrage.

But soon, this doubt was broken.

Because the UP owner has changed to other graphics cards for testing, whether it is 1080P or 2K or 4K resolution, the ultimate image quality is 60 frames as stable as an old dog.

"The optimization of this game is definitely the best optimization I have ever seen, bar none! But it also brings a problem. In the training ground test, the gap between graphics cards cannot be seen at all..."

The UP leader seemed distressed, and then he had an idea: "Since we can't see the difference in the training ground, let's just go into actual combat!"

"The Road to Immortality, Ultimate Picture Quality..."

After seeing that the UP master chose to fight on the road to immortality and maintained the ultimate picture quality, Chen Ba and Yang Dong had already guessed the outcome.

nonsense!

Can they not know what will happen next in the game they made?

Presumably after testing "Star Emperor", this video should end here. It will end if it doesn't end, unless the UP owner buys a batch of new cards!
