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.

Disappointing - no doubt the rampocalypse is playing its part.

I guess it depends how well the texture compression is going to function - I dont doubt it works, but is it fast enough type stuff. It is better to have 12gb I think than 8/9. I was reading NV is stating 80% compression. So functionally almost doubling the frame buffer? I suspect not everything...

I guess, bottom line, if it works it works - more a 1080/1440 thing?

One more gb of vram makes big difference? Even with compression - how good is it? How fast?

Does this tool permanently alter the code of your installed apps? How does that work with later patching and the like?

I am just wondering to myself what is going to stop working at random and how it'll take days (or never) to get it fixed.

I am sure there are (probably good, or perhaps just valid) reasons and why's, for the ne SER. Sadly my little curiosity will never be satisfied. :(

Well Foo

Ok, what about AMD's improvements?

Hopefully not $3k+. I do want this to be a good & strong product for gaming and whatever else.

For many tasks sure. HEDT type stuff, heavy rendering, etc. Not for everything, in particular gaming. That's why the bios in this, and my last motherboard, has an option to turn off the second CCD either automatically when gaming or full time. (I dont bother though I have tested it out) Of...

Wont having more cores gum up the works, so to speak? Maybe some of the cores get to 6ghz but how many really? I am also wondering about cache issues like coherence and when threads jump cores. After all more cores more places and ways to jump. Of course if AMD has a better/newer way to...
