    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    Bovine feces. NV is the dirties player in the market, covert EPP is in full swing and the scandal around that Jesus guy is just a small part that happened to slip out. Where is 9000 series Asus ROG? Nah. Last gen stuff by both vendors was available to grab to near MSRP for months. It's just...

    ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Prime OC 16 GB

    30% faster than 7600XT for 10% more $. Pretty nice even by 2020 metrics, and simply decent by today's "nGridia gone mad" takes. As for "9070 should not be... that much faster"... what? For nearly 100% more monez you get what, 50% more perf. And that is "too much perf" gap?

    ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Card Lineup Revealed: TUF Gaming, Prime, and Dual

    FSR 4 did not pwn DLSS 3 back then, and there was a lot of catching up to do with the RT gimmick. Both points are moot with 9000 series. One could see how different the perception of AMD GPUs have become on the gaming forums like neogaf and resetera. Very pro-AMD sentiment on forums that...

    AMD Announces Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Card, Claims "Fastest Under $350"

    RT benches show that "buh RT" no longer applies. With FSR 4 beating DLSS 3 AMD has greatly improved it's product line. Because Huang will roll out superduperamazing perf/$ card in that price range.

    XFX & Acer Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Cards Leaked by Retailers - Starting at "$450"

    There is a peculiar number of folks with very low post count being very upset about a random price leak that isn't even leaked as MSRP... :D Vanished with FSR 4.

    Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Launching into Early Access This Summer

    I remember the HOMM III: The Shadow of Death, for me, it was the pinnacle of the series. Will give this a try. (trailer is meh, but so where all HoMM trailers, lol) PS King's Bounty was a fun series too, with almost identical combat mechanics.

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce RTX 5060 Series, Beginning with RTX 5060 Ti This Week

    Agree with at launch point. But RDNA4 limit in this context is a positive aspect, boosting 9000 series sales. Optimistic expectations were that it would get closer to DLSS3, FSR 4 landing between DLSS 3 and 4 is a shocker with consequences: green lead was not as big as perceived, this sets...

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce RTX 5060 Series, Beginning with RTX 5060 Ti This Week

    This time it seems to be different though. 9000 series really got the momentum. FSR 4 and, to an extent, beefed up RT gimmick perf seem to have done the trick. On top of 5000 series being hilariously underwhelming, yet expensive.

    AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Reportedly Capable of Boosting Up To 3.3 GHz, New Leak Suggests "Navi 44 XT" GPU

    Leaks show that 5060s suck more than even 5070, which is on record levels of sucking. I doubt 9060s would have problems competing with that crap. I personally do not give a flying F about <insert tech>. Performance, power consumption, price. Maybe "ficherz" is what matters. What bazinga was...

    AMD "Ryzen 9000G" Desktop APU Series Tipped For Q4 2025 Launch

    Cool stuff, but with OEMs being too afraid to use it in actual laptops, rather frustrating.

    AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT Shatters Sales Records, Outperforming Previous Generations by 10X

    Let me help you with that, oh inexperienced one. :D "But I need to see that myself! And in motion!" Do it: All the key promises of "hardwa-arte" are obvious lies at this point: 1) Unseen visuals 2) Won't tank perf with next gen cards 3) Ease of development In reality, 6 years into this...

    AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT Shatters Sales Records, Outperforming Previous Generations by 10X

    For how may more years a tech that sees 4th (!!!) generation of GPUs hyping will stay "new"? :D Let's look into it: So the problem is: 1) Effing "PC master race" , baad, bad master race! 2) Effing cheapo GPU buyers, motherf*ckers keep buying cheap crap!! 3) Economy! Just when RT gmmick was...

    AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT Shatters Sales Records, Outperforming Previous Generations by 10X

    I'm sorry kid, you are not "pretty much everyone", you are just you. As for RT gimmick, the situation 7th year and 4th gen into "hardwahr RT" gimmick is rather damning. https://www.resetera.com/threads/hwub-6-years-of-ray-tracing-on-vs-off-37-game-comparison.1017411/
