Vector vs raster sai8/18/2023 ![]() Id say mainly performance, as game textures get more complex, raster performance advantage really shows. Might be a stupid question but video games have switched to pixel based rendering a bit over a decade ago for a reason. That being said, 3D skeleton in games are vectors, which is why as you increase the LOD (Level of Detail), the more powerful graphics card you need. Would a game running at 1080p on vector based graphics require the same performance as a game running at 1080p on raster? The former is full-on render (like vector), the latter is already rendered somewhere else, and you just get the end-result (like raster) watching someone else stream the game through Twitch. The simplest way to compare vector vs raster is comparing the compute performance you need to play a game, vs. On the other hand, a vector human face would require 100000x more processing than a plain box to render. With raster, there is practically no difference between a plain box and a human face. Vector gets heavier as you increase the complexity. In vast majority of the cases, raster is much lighter to load than vector. Why did pixel-based graphics take over recently? The 10% rule is enforced on /r/hardware repeat offenders and/or your website or channel may be banned. Users who want to post links to their website should be aware of the reddit definition of spam and read this article concerning self promotion on reddit. No submissions to crowdfunding sites or ongoing campaigns. No submissions to streaming sites outside of event megathreads. Any rumor or claim that is just a statement from an unknown source containing no supporting evidence will be removed. No unsubstantiated rumors - Rumors or other claims/information not directly from official sources must have evidence to support them. Low effort posts such as "What is _ and what does it do?" is not acceptable. We allow discussion posts on relevant topics to hardware there should however be at least background information and relevancy to demonstrate such a discussion is worthwhile. ![]() This includes 'What should I buy?', 'Does a _ do what I need?', 'How much is _ worth?' and 'How long until (something obvious) happens?' type questions. If your post asks a question about a specific product or need, it probably belongs elsewhere. These belong in /r/techsupport, /r/buildapc or any relevant tech subreddits. Top level comments must be substantive and contain more than 20 characters. Images submitted as self posts must include an informative description for context. Memes, direct image links, and low effort content will be removed. No memes, jokes, or direct links to images Please contact the moderators through modmail if you have questions. Exceptions can be made for content in foreign language, pay-walled content, or any other exceptional cases. Do NOT editorialize the title of the submission (minor) changes for clarity may be acceptable if the original title is clickbait, or failed to summarize its actual content.Ĭontent submitted should be of original source, or at least contain partially original reporting on top of existing information. Please use the "suggest title" button for link submissions, or copy the title of the original link. Posts should be about hardware news, reviews, technical discussion or how-tos and buyers guides. Insults and personal attacks aren't welcome here. TL DR: If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all. This includes tech support and PC building questions. r/hardware is not the place to come for help of any kind. ![]() The goal of /r/hardware is a place for quality hardware news, reviews, and intelligent discussion.
