You could be thinking of the Kyro and Kyro II tile-based rendering GPUs, PowerVR/ST. It was supposed to revolutionize how games were rendered.

It's more to do with USB 40Gbps drives; the faster the external drive, the greater the effect. It also has no affect on the MSI DATAMAG 20Gbps drive, in my testing, only the ADATA SE920, so it is definitely related to the maximum speed of the drive, and the interface speed it runs at. The...

I don't think it's drivers anymore; that's not the reason people aren't buying. I think it's more to do with just how huge of a hold NVIDIA has on extra features in games that people associate with NVIDIA now. NVIDIA has made sure to push its features heavily, and people associate these...

My theory/suspicion is that they ran into an issue with the chiplet design, whether that be communication or latency, or maybe manufacturing, or some other bottleneck related to that design, since that would have been required for anything above the 9070 XT's monolithic design. Chiplets aren't...

This was most definitely the right time that AMD could have made inroads in the high-end, with all the NV blunders in the RTX 50 series generation. In much the same way the CPU division hit it at the right time, with stagnation from Intel, this would have been the right time for AMD on the GPU...
