AI is an interesting knife. A useful tool when used wisely and correctly with oversight and control and something that'll put your eye out if your not careful with it. At least that is my impression.

Is the price worth the exclusives?

Mostly gaming and browsing often at the same time. With MMO's big RPG's and the like the extra ram is basically a huge disk cache - so teleporting around the world in WOW or whatever game goes a bit smoother. I was pretty happy with my 7900xtx till it failed, budget is much more constrained...

Purchased years ago when I had a decent income and well before the rampocolypse.

Oh are we getting out our thing and comparing? Hope I dont make you feel inadequate. :}

I set my system to reboot and update - came back to find it hung at a black screen with an adrenalin crash. Had to power off/on and then re-enable my gpu/9070 xt in device manager and reboot again.

Does not DLAA require team green?

Ya I have a tendency to set things to ULTRA (Max) as well. And for some reason just dont like upscaling - I prefer everything native. For what I play/do 60 fps is good and anything more is nifty. Still I miss the 24gb my 7900xtx had. The 16gb downgrade being balanced by improved Ray Trace is...

Out of context I am not sure it matters - till resolution comes into play. I have been wondering if 16gb is enough for 4k - so far it seems so. Not that I have been pushing my system much. AARPG's (POE 1-2/GD/TQ 1-2) tend to be more CPU bottlenecked than GPU. Hmmmm Copilot seems to think:

Back in the day [back in the decade?] when City of Heroes was still on the official NCSoft servers they experimented with this. After all Paragon City is a 'modern' type mega-city like New York with actual in game billboards advertising Crey and other in game products and companies. I thought...

Have a history of driver timeouts now I guess I know why. For Context: --------------------------------------- Finally with a freeze followed by a reboot and Asus post code 97 - GPU Failure to initialize. If I try over and over it will occasionally post, however there is very obvious video...

QTF IMO, nice to be wrong just the same.

More choice is usually good - till it leads to the 'Paradox of Choice,' or 'Decision Paralysis.' It's starting to get like the toothpaste aisle at Target/Walmart. Unless you have an attachment to a brand or the lowest price too much in options. Or perhaps not, I dont know, just speculation...

Sadly, price aside, the message I am getting is Intel was making good progress in improving their GPU's. With 16/24gb of vram the price would go down some. Within the next generation or three I think they could have climbed up to the near top tier space. Maybe not the Big Green money sucking...

So nothing much for getting my DDR5 to it's rated speed.
