    Microsoft butchering Xbox Studios

    LOL we had a thread about MS buying game studio is a bad thing, couldn't be more true. MS basically just gave gaming studio owners big fat payouts that they don't need to make games that sell, just useless junks to boost stock prices.

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    I have played lots of RT games on 2080Ti and 3090. A 3090 or 4070Super can get good level of RT (RT GI, reflection and AO) + good FPS in all RT games today (PT is reserved for 4090 class and above i guess). As for what is considered good FPS, i believe most people would be happy with 80FPS

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    When newer tech has proven its superiority, it will surely propagate over time anyways. Just look at DLSS, 3 years ago some people said it was pointless because few games had it, now it's everywhere. Raw performance is the highest Metric, that's true, but people are also looking at what visual...

    Does anyone here overclock their video cards? Is it really worth it?

    You should overclock and undervolt your 4080S, no FPS loss and save over 50W power consumption, the fans will run much quieter too. For example your 4080S should run at 2775mhz at 1.05V stock, overclock by 210mhz and cap the voltage at .95V so that your 4080S will run at 2775mhz with 0.95V

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    @DemonicRyzen666 So when people tell you chicken wing is much better than a turd, they are not being objective but rather subjective? :roll: . Weird logic there man, also a copy paste answer from Edge AI? what the heck.

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    OLED are much more expensive than similar size LCD, yet it has a place to stay because of how much superior it is to LCD. RT is similar, you need more expensive GPU in order to drive it. Saying RT is pointless because the majority cannot experience it is pretty stupid. Every current tech you...

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    2060/3060/4060 owners are happy with their GPUs, more than you think :roll:. Anyways this discussion is going nowhere, you and I, along with everyone else will just continue voting with our wallets and see how RT/PT will turn out in the future :rolleyes:

    And you think that is a bad thing? weird logic but ok

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    What's stopping xx60 owners from buying 5-year-old games at 5usd and enjoy peak visuals from 5 years ago? RTX7060 owners will certainly appreciate how games made in 2024 with PT/RT and that will be selling for 5usd at that time :laugh:

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    You are the most short sighted person here. Games always have the option for future proofing that even the fastest 1% of GPU owners cannot play at the highest settings, so they can continue to sell years after released. Just look at Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, they still have lots and lots of...

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    Tell me, do you think that new games should try to look better than before, or they should just stay the same because the majority of people can't buy high-end GPUs? Secondly, a lot of 4090/4080 will go into the second hand market, so more and more people will have access to RT/PT as time goes on.

    AMD to Redesign Ray Tracing Hardware on RDNA 4

    RT is getting cheaper each generation, during RTX2000 only the 2080 Ti is somewhat capable of RT, now the 600usd 4070S is about good enough (PT is another beast). Next gen we will definitely see some 450-500usd GPUs capable of handling RT GI, Reflections and AO at 1440p (or 4K with Upscaling +...

    Go to bed you night walker

    What are you playing?

    Difference between 71FPS vs 53FPS is that one is playable while the other is not, well according to my standard.

    What are you playing?

    I will give you a hint: it's not texture, it's SSR or Screen Space Reflections vs RT Reflections, haven't seen SSR mod in your life? AMD convinced you that SSR is all you ever needed? Too bad AMD can't even handle 4K with SSR in Alan Woke 2 LOL
