I doubt it because Samsung's fab is lower quality than TMSC which is why nVidia got a huge discount. Samsung 5nm is questionable, especially compared to tsmc. The only reason they would be attempting 5nm (if this is true) would be because of power requirements. They need a node shrink...

CDPR will definitely update the game to use regular dx12 RT functions. They have to make an amd compatible version for the consoles so...yeah. Still a dick move by nVidia (and I own a 2080ti). They must be using some special gameworks api they developed just for themselves to use which...

In most cases yes but for cyberpunk and the other listed titles they must be using gameworks because they knew amd would have an rt card around it's launch. Too bad for them I'm upgrading to ryzen very soon and I'm going to upgrade my 2080ti for a 6900xt. That combo performance boost can't be...

You don't think Microsoft has their own gpu team? They do and every modern gpu is based on microsofts 360 design. They merged the pixel and vertex shader pipelines increasing efficiency by insane amounts. It was the first GPU (including PC) to do this and 6 months later the first mixed...

You're right there is more to this story. Sony is missing most of what makes RDNA2 good and there's nothing in the sdk to make up for it. They are using RDNA1 cores with RT Hardware pinned on. That's as close as sony gets to RDNA2

HDR doesn't use extra vram. Technically ALL games are rendered in HDR and then converted to SDR right at the end of the pipeline.

Phew... With my 2080ti I should be able to lock in 4k60 ultra with quality DLSS. I was quite concerned because watch dogs 2 has issues maintaining 60fps even at 1440p medium/high and I'm not cpu bound.

There's no reason pcie5 couldn't be compatible with 3.

I was kinda waiting for a new chipset so I would have 4 years to keep upgrading my CPU (if needed) and I also assumed it would support ddr5. My only issue there is I also did my last major upgrade when x99 launched alongside ddr4 and it was EXPENSIVE. I think I paid about $500 for 16 gigs of...
