RTX 5080 - premature review - it sucks

[AusWolf]

wouldnt suprise me at all if they separated the cards and you would need to buy a rasterization card and a utility card that does all the specialty stuff like AI, RT etc. $1000 for the raster card but only $500 for the utility card lol. what a deal

That's two separate architectures, which increases R&D costs significantly. Not gonna happen. Even AMD is moving towards unifying their gaming and compute architectures after RDNA 4.

Nvidia had something similar with the GTX 16-series as an intermediary solution, with mixed success.

16 series would have been a huge success if they hadn't only made them as low tier cards. A chip the same size as 2080 ti with only raster cores would have outperformed the 2080 ti by alot, and sold like hotcakes. Nvidia was obviously aware of this thus didn't do it.

perhaps but they werent up against a technology wall like they are now. if AMD isnt even bothering and gains are trivial somebody knows something. Once the general public know they are up against the wall the "new revolutionary solution" will be to sell you two cards.. not one. Each one with an eye watering price tag! After all the RT, AI, frame gen etc is completely optional..

the smart move would be for amd to move rt and ai type stuff to the cpu instead of onboard graphics and their cards do the brute force work. Wouldnt be long before there was a dedicated rt core, a few ai cores, frame gen cores etc. Makes sense since higher core counts arent that useful in games atm.

I try again. (same post - same topic)

ltt, hardware unboxed and gamers nexus 100% have all those cards.

Random youtube guy most likely do not have that hardware - in response to post #337 - in resonse to that nonsense video which was in post #337

in response to #337 - check that nonsense channel - just scroll on the nonsense link on post #337 - check that channel and scroll down - pick a random video

Do you really think someone can afford such hardware?
- a few minutes ago - I will not share where I saw it.
Estimate money from youtube for 200.000 views - tech video channel = 100 Us dollar. that should be 0.05 us dollar per video view.

I love those clickbait nonsense - from that channel:


i5 3470 vs i5 13400F - 11 Years Difference


i7 1st 870 vs i7 14th 14700K - 14 Years Difference

I sold my am4 plattform early 2023.

I therefore bought and sold quite soon a MSI 960 GTX 4GB card which was used with a ryzen 5800x / 3 3100

That card had issues wiht subnautica with lowest settings. Encased game big issues.
I do own the last of us part 1 or star wars jedi survivor. These games are much more demanding than subnautica

Just nonsense.

You subtly accuse him of lying by saying he can't afford the hardware, when it literally says in his profile he owns a computer store. His estimated income from YouTube is 1-16k per month. Besides all of that, what exactly is off about the video that makes you skeptical? That the 7900xtx is that close to the 5080? Because that actually is the case, and these videos are nice to actually see what the cards are rendering rather than just looking at a chart.
