It's NVIDIA: they're all-in on AI (in terms of their revenue stream), these "Super" releases are just to keep AMD roughly "at bay", and given their market dominance, they are likely to continue doing just that (let's see what Intel has cooked up w/Battlemage late this year) -- although it seems...

Priced about $50-$100 too high (vs AMD's RX 6800 XT, which offers better raster at a lower price point), but at least it's quite compact, with good power efficiency, good temps & 12GB of VRAM, which is "ok" in this day & age (not to mention other NVIDIA tech like DLSS 3). Edit: it's of note...

Thanks for the article -- what I'm curious to see is when more of the "improved" IPS panels hit the market, like the 'Agile Splendor' IPS monitor here or the "IPS Black" panel monitors slowly hitting the market like this one here. The only annoying thing about my LG OLED TV (used as a monitor)...

My incoming Lenovo Legion Slim 7 Gen 7, AMD Advantage Edition, (due to delays, not gonna get it until a few days after tree-hugging day) hit the markers I was looking for: Good Relative Compactness/Low Weight Good Looks (at my age, being seen with a blatantly "gaming laptop" w/disco lights...

@Brent_Justice Your data in the review got a brief mention here on the TPU forums, where SAM was asked by a forum member to Wizzard (posts #65 & #66).

@Brent_Justice, will you be reviewing the custom AIB editions of the 7900 XT/XTX in the near future? From what I've seen from some of the other review sites, the amount of OC potential left in them (via 3 8-pin, instead of 2 8-pin) can be quite substantial, especially on the top-end customs...

I've been using an external DAC/AMP in the SMSL M500 since early in the pandemic (summer 2020 -- decided it was about time), paired with an Audeze LCD-GX as my headphone & an AKG Lyra as my mic. I do use my Creative SXFI Gamer headset (which has a USB sound card built-in) occasionally, simply...

The 6900 XT pricing was definitely AMD's forearm jerk @ NVIDIA (middle finger wasn't enough), for sure!

Got myself a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5700 XT from my local Micro Center about a week ago -- so far, it's been working great as a solid upgrade over my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW.

That leads me to think that the upcoming custom 5700XTs from AIBs should be pretty good -- keeping my fingers crossed (wondering about 4K performance, since I play @ 4K). This also gives grounds for a bit of cautious optimism: 5700XT

I understand -- I still wasn't happy with "lack of blacks/contrast" on IPS panels, so I "sidegraded" from my Alienware AW3418DW (IPS, 3440x1440p@120hz) to a LG 32UD59-B (VA, 4K@60hz). Good thing Freesync on my new toy is now (somewhat) supported by NVIDIA (holding off on upgrading my "aging" GTX...
