Dude, I've worked in the gaming industry for over 10 years. I've made AAA 3D games for a living. i've played 3D games before we even had 3D accelerators. Elite on the Commodore C64 is a 3D game. Look at https://unity3d.com Unity 3D is a game engine to make 3D games. Only recently did they add good support for 2D game creation on the platform.

If somebody is talking about 3D games, they are only talking about three dimensional rendered games. Hence how Diablo 3 would be called a 3D game.

Lol, the images are of stuff coming out the screen, it's not stereoscopic gaming, it's advertisement. The same way when you see a THX commercial it's like there is a gale force wind in the theatre produced by the sound. Sure there are a few pictures of stereoscopic gaming, but 3d gaming is still just 3d games.

But as I said, this is tiresome and utterly pointless.

I guess Google is having some language barriers then as well?

While you are technically correct, that Diablo 3 is a 3D game, you don't call it a 3D game, you simply call it a "game" since it is the de-facto type of gaming most common. 2D games require you to specifically say 2D or platformer while "Stereoscopic 3D gaming" is most commonly referred to as 3D gaming.

That's the way everyone I know of say it. Even when I studied computer game development at university (which btw was in english), "3D gaming" was with glasses. But sure, let's call it a language barrier if it ends this pointless discussion.

When games like Civ V and Tropico require good 3D graphics capabilities--it's not wise to assume that any particular genre of game will be exempt from this requirement. I think I have some explicitly 2D games (Penny Arcade: On the rain slicked Precipice of Darkness) that make use of shaders.

I am at the point of ordering myself and can't choose between the 380 or 390, I am not going to play any games and most of the work is webdesign, photoshop, and some remote stuff.

Correct me if I'm wrong but skylake processor has an integrated gpu which can handle 3 x 4k monitor no matter which gpu you are choosing.
 
I Got my 380 yesterday for my business office but I don't do any photoshop r video work. So since last night it has been unbelievable no lag nothing. But I am no computer genius or know anything about these cards or anything so If you'd like me to do a test later today when I get back to the store I would be happy too. You would just have to explain exactly what I need to do to test it and I would be more than happy to.

Again I am no computer expert so as much explanation as possible the more I can do.

My computer is

base model 27inch 5K with
Configuration
  • 3.2GHz QC i5, TB up to 3.6GHz
  • 8GB 1867MHz DDR3L (2x4GB)
  • 512GB Flash Storage
  • AMD Radeon R9 M380 w/2GB

Install Luxmark

Post a screenshot, run the luxball HDR benchmark using OpenCL GPUs. Report the Score. We're particularly interested in the clockspeed and number of compute units, both of which luxmark displays in the rightmost column.
 
No Problem Guys Im so sorry I ended up not stopping by my store today and checking it out I got caught up with other things so I will be sure to do this first thing tomorrow when I get there around 11AM since Im the only one thats opening tomorrow. Hope you guys don't mind!

If you'd like that blackmagic benchmark, you might want to provide more info on how to do it.
(As explained earlier in the thread)
I'd like to see that benchmark too...
And I'd like to learn about how to benchmark so I can contribute when mine gets here.
(All I know is the info will be more useful if done the same on different models...)
Thanks!

Can you pop over to this thread and install and run Unigine Heaven and Cinebench 15 benchmarks? The 380 is the only one now missing from my list. I'd really appreciate it. If you're not sure how, just post a question in that thread, it'll get answered quick
