Just eyeballing it, roughly 1/3 of Steam gamers, at least. So it's not huge, but I wouldn't call it insignificant either. But since I imagine their target is moreso console sales than PC sales... I don't think it's a huge consideration as both the consoles now support RT.

Oh I remember. It's "any day now", not entirely vaporware. Heck, OLED still isn't quite there yet, but it's getting close.

I am still on AM4 across most of the computers in my household. If you multitask a lot (video rendering, distributed computing, etc), the 5950 is nice for the core count. If it's for gaming, go get an x3d

And apparently no others.

Oh wow, I thought WalMart did this a while back. Yeah, no surprise they could care less about the electronics brand, it's all about getting at that data mining that electronic devices enable you to get.

Honestly, given this bit right here I'm surprised you even took the time to comment on this card. It's very much not in your market segment, and never was even going to be close. I could easily imagine you may be in the market for a GPU for quite some time, as there's always some new game that...

Once they splintered XBGP into tiers with various access to games, I was done with it. Can't wait until they start injecting advertisements as well like all the streaming services have started. What a cesspool those have become.

Knowing AMD lately - $1 less than the 4080, then when the 5000 series does finally come out, they will have some good sales/bundles.

If the performance claim of "similar to 4080" is true, then this is very impressive. Around a 33% reduction in power / increase in efficiency compared to nVidia's last gen. Of course, there will be a 5070 or 5080 to compare it to soon I'm sure. Hopefully it sees similar improvements.

Man I would pay a lot of money for a SNATCH that gives me 18% more performance. Seriously, who comes up with these names.

Yeah, no surprises here. I'm sure he got a very nice exit package as well. Not sure how much of Intel's current situation is of Pat's making, or if many of the cards were dealt long before he got in the hot seat.

Is this like the microLED announcements that keep hitting saying "Any day now" for commercial viability? Or just some startup company trying to get bought up by LG/Samsung/Sony?

I had to drop Paypal entirely when, after not having used it for a few years - a random Chinese purchase shows up for a few hundred dollars - no idea what it was, it was all in Chinese characters. I refute the claim with Paypal... and they deny me, saying it's "in line with my recent purchase...

I've thought about it on the rare occasion I'm down in LA - there is one in Orange County. But the traffic is so bad down there I never want to spend one minute longer in that **** place than I have to, and OC is in the opposite direction of home. I didn't know they were opening one in San Jose...

Don't worry - the discrete graphics folks over there will be the last people on Earth to know when Intel does finally swing the ax.

There is a built in ram test in windows but I can’t recall off hand how to run it Can also go old school and hardware it- turn clocks down to basic and run 1 stick at a time. That’s how we found outs recently

Had a similar issue on wife's computer. Ended up being a bad stick of RAM causing all sorts of weirdness, most of it sleep related

Plausible, Apple doesn't really have much loyalty when it comes to their suppliers - whoever can meet the spec and volume at the lowest price. Intel may be desperate enough to meet Apple's terms now.

I'm not holding my breath. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/graphics-cards/intel-ceo-sees-less-need-for-discrete-graphics-and-now-were-really-worried-about-its-upcoming-battlemage-gaming-gpu-and-the-rest-of-intels-graphics-roadmap/ Battlemage may release, but if it doesn't get a commitment to...

I have to admit, I ~was~ seriously contemplating getting an Intel GPU my next go around. Sure, they may not compete on the very high end, but there is no way in any sort of reality I'm shucking out $1k+ for a GPU so cards like the 5090 (and probably the 5080, and decent odds on 5070) were never...
