  1. AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT’s Ray-Tracing Performance Falls Significantly Short of NVIDIA RTX, According to Early Tests

    Th leaks show it outperforming the 2080ti, but falling short on the 3080... If indicative of actual performance it's about in line with my expectations... Ok for a first try, but not as good as Nvidias second try. Will have to see how it matures a bit and real games get tested. I don't see how...
  2. AMD Is Working on a Solution for Super Sampling

    Lol, no kidding.. I would have never guessed this!! "I have a suspicious feeling we'll be hearing more about DirectML in the near future ;)" https://forums.thefpsreview.com/threads/rx6000-preview.3612/#post-20775 "I hope AMD comes out with something in DirectML to compete with DLSS" Same...
  3. AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT’s Ray-Tracing Performance Falls Significantly Short of NVIDIA RTX, According to Early Tests

    I remember playing and programming 320x200 and 320x240 (mode 13h unchained, aka x-mode or mode x depending on who you talked to). We've come a long way, but pixel density is getting to the point that increases aren't making as large of a visual difference as it used to. Going form 320x200 to...
  4. AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT’s Ray-Tracing Performance Falls Significantly Short of NVIDIA RTX, According to Early Tests

    My guess is it'll be used in very small quantities. My hope is that it'll be used for lighting (ambient occlusion of sorts) and not used for every single shiny puddle in the street since it brings nothing to the game. You don't need a ton of rays (comparatively) for ambient occlusion and it...
  5. GIGABYTE Lists GeForce RTX 3090 with Blower Design

    Yeah, I was just trying to say it's nice to have some options for different cases and reasons. I'm not hating on FE cards, I think the design will/does work well in a typical case. I also think triple radial fans has proven to work well also. Blowers have their uses in some cases as well, so...
  6. NVIDIA’s New GeForce RTX 30 Series GPU (RTX 3070 Ti?) Is Reportedly a 320-Watt Response to AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XL

    Wouldn't this still put it at higher wattage than a 6900xt that can keep pace with a 3090? I guess pricing and performance will always dictate what's "worth" it to a lot of people, but just seems they are struggling to come up with a solution to the new problem of AMD actually competing at the...
  7. GIGABYTE Lists GeForce RTX 3090 with Blower Design

    This could be great for those with smaller cases to help keep the heat out. I run a lot of mITX (3 mITX desktops currently) and blowers tend to work well in these kinds of environments where the FE edition could cause issues with getting heat out (especially in cases where my GPU is horizontal...
  8. AMD Announces Radeon RX 6900 XT ($999), Radeon RX 6800 XT ($649), and Radeon RX 6800 ($579)

    I don't know, why are you completely ignoring the fact that NVIDIA is charging $700 for 10% performance but find it unacceptable that AMD charges $350 for about the same? Just an extra 8 CU's, which means the DIE has to be 100% perfectly binned to perform at this level. That costs money and...
  9. AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT’s Ray-Tracing Performance Falls Significantly Short of NVIDIA RTX, According to Early Tests

    Dude, go back to NVIDIA and stop posting this stupid crap, we all know you're just an nvidia shill. A snail moves forward to, but nobody calls it a cheetah. Yes, RT is moving forward, it's been doing that since before I first started working with it in the 90's... if it was moving backwards...
  10. AMD Announces Radeon RX 6900 XT ($999), Radeon RX 6800 XT ($649), and Radeon RX 6800 ($579)

    More like AMD screwed up NVIDIAs plans, caused them to rush their release and cause this cluster of a release. I don't think NVIDIA was planning for AMD to catch up. Your humble opinion is based in nothing. It looks like AMD's cards all lined up pretty well 6900xt/3090, 6800xt/3080.. the only...
  11. AMD Announces Radeon RX 6900 XT ($999), Radeon RX 6800 XT ($649), and Radeon RX 6800 ($579)

    Yup, same that you guys have been saying for the 2000 series... buy it for the future, that never happened, so now buy the 3000 for the future that may or my not happen. Anyways, I don't disagree that RT is the future at some point, but it's still not there yet. I am curious to see how...
  12. AMD Announces Radeon RX 6900 XT ($999), Radeon RX 6800 XT ($649), and Radeon RX 6800 ($579)

    They are idiots if they said that, otherwise maybe it was just worded poorly. DXR is direct x raytracing... it's a standard interface; anything that is compatible will work without code changes. Will it be optimal? possibly not, but it should work. That said, the *implementation* from AMD...
  13. AMD RDNA2 Announcement!

    I think it's people using it for work and/or those that aren't worried about spending money on their hobby to have the best? Now, I won't be recommending either the 6900xt or the 3090 to many of my friends, but I have hobbies and can understand others wanting the best if it's within their...
  14. AMD RDNA2 Announcement!

    Super resolution has been in their drivers for a while... I doubt they changed how it functioned and used the same name.
  15. AMD RDNA2 Announcement!

    They aren't going to spring in stock products, that's for sure ;).
  16. Ryzen 5 5600X laying a beatdown on i5-10600K

    I don't disagree with this completely, $25 on the low end and $50 on the upper would have made more sense, but really we're talking $300 for a CPU that should beat a $350 Intel CPU in just about every metric, yet we complain that it's priced way to high. Where was this concern/complaining on...
  17. RX6000 preview

    Yes, I have since corrected them, AMD does have dedicated hardware, please stop the chain of spreading this misinformation. They organized their hardware different than NVIDIA, that doesn't make it non-existent, it just means it's implemented differently. Anyways, I think the general...
  18. AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs to Feature TBPs As High As 355 Watts

    Why do people keep saying this? Is there some sort of misunderstanding about how AMD is going to do raytracing? They do have dedicated hardware... it's just attached to a different part of the GPU than NVIDIA... it doesn't make it not dedicated, it just makes it a different design. That's...
  19. AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs to Feature TBPs As High As 355 Watts

    Yeah, will be nice to see real games and power draw. Also would be great to see the 6900XT as well, keep in mind these numbers that are beating the 3090 in Raster aren't even their top end card.
  20. RX6000 preview

    Meh, faster raster works in more games than better RT... so you can claim you bought a more expensive GPU that runs faster in 7 games... vs someone that bought a cheaper GPU that runs faster in 150+ games... congratulations? I dunno, RT is cool and all but it's not a make or break for most...
