One must consider APU architecture lags behind actual discrete gpu architecture, sometimes significantly, perhaps dependent upon if the new architecture makes sense wrt power/die space/perhaps other reasons. It would appear they are not worked on in tandem (GPU arch + APU using it); rather a...

I agree with you, my friend. I truly wonder if many are buying them, though, especially since the release of 9070xt. I feel most rational people of non-infinite wealth are not. There will always be the (generally not well-informed) others, but that's not my call to make, especially if that's...

I expect AMD to use an extremely similar setup for UDNA, down to the 64-bit interconnects (and up to ~32gbps from appropriately-weighted infinity cache). Figure up to 12x~50mm chiplets, ~200mm2 IC, plus whatever the main Media and I/O die is (~100mm2?) plus bridge chips or whatever. That adds...

I have nothing against how Remedy's games' play, and am quite sure I would love their thinking/way of story-telling, I just never got around to them (but I really should have, as I feel I would likely love them). Hence, this might pull me in and kickstart the will to go through Ctrl/AW2; which...

What is a few degrees from death? Modern T-junction is 110c. Regardless, you will likely not be a fan of '9080', should it exist (probably ~90c). I find it a fascinating idea myself (to run a tiny chip w/ as much power as possible and can realistically be cooled), but to each their own. I...

They've been fighting Intel from this position (relatively small-scale esp wrt R&D/marketing budget) their literal whole existence. Similar w/ GPG vs nVIDIA for also a very, very, long time. Almost 20 years. nVIDIA has gotten larger, but were always operating from an advantage. By advantage...

Once again, it really won't, even at 1440p (if you want a good experience; which imo you should always have at the beginning of a purchase and then compromise over time; not at first). 5070 Ti does and will more-so soon have problems keeping 1440p w/o RT. 5080 w/ RT. A 9070 xt will keep 60 w/o...

Nothing out in the market right now (under a 4090) is going to make for a great 4k card long-term if you like your games pretty (with higher-end settings and RT) and with what I would consider a decent FR. 5080 is not a 4k card (long-term), look at Assassin's Creed (mins with or w/o RT at 4k...

Well, I'm going to disagree with everyone in this thread and say I'm pretty excited to try this out! I don't care if it's perfect, it's free on PS+. If it's too Duke Nukemy, well, it was still free on PS+. If it's rad, all the better. Tangent perhaps, but I appreciate Sony's stepping up...

I understand wanting to test raw performance, which I would argue at this point up-scaling actually is part of, but also I think many people find up-scaling confusing but actually do/will need to use it. Especially during instances of Lumen and other hardware RT. For instance, while 1440p .67x...

That's fair. I think it's interesting on that level as well, and ofc some people use the same arguement for CS. The thing is...is it really a better representation of important information where instead in another game two competing cards are measured and one achieves 50fps and the other over...

I would ditch Witcher and Elden Ring. Logged on to say that; saw others already did. GJ, guys. Also, thank you for getting rid of Silent Hill. Suite looks pretty good. I still kind of miss Control, Plague Tale, and Collisto Protocol; those are really great benches imo and I don't know if...

Once again, people looking at the wrong window. .1fps. .1......fps. Once again, overclock that boy for that 1.1fps and be joyous. I keep telling people...This is what to start expecting. This isn't going to be abnormal, and is in-fact the new normal. And 9070 XT is doing exactly as it...

I honestly wasn't aware that people did that! Perhaps someone that reads this thread knows the answer if it can be tricked without it being flagged in your situation. I wouldn't think it could be, but also I don't live to cheat at benchmarks; I care more about the honest data. It's sad that...

They won't, but most mass-produced stuff probably will until we get the grand fight with a little better. Much stuff maybe longer than that, given the current (and even perhaps future) relative expense of TSMC 2nm. 1.28x increase is not woth 50% more cost to most, and it gets worse from there...
