Ethereum is memory bandwidth sensitive, the 6500XT measly 64bit memory bus probably makes it a worthless mining even at 8gb onboard memory. The 6500XT I would say has no reason to exist, it does everything poorly.

You expect an independent tester to rewrite code to see if it actually makes a difference? Not likely. Developers would be putting up a fuss if what AMD is promoting or Nvidia makes zero difference. The performance difference using RT between Nvidia and AMD is closer with newer games more of...

Watch whole video, if Lazy, 5 min on should give relevant detail dealing with AMD hardware: (Have to watch on YouTube) If you want even a dryer version again straight from AMD mouth, how programming particularly for a given hardware base here you go: Note, Nvidia also gives tools, best...

For RT, there is also a lot of compute operations where Nvidia double FP32 per cuda core gives a great benefit if fed. AMD advantage is if DXR 1.1 is used and Infinity Cache is effectively used, as in multiple shaders within a single shader keeping instructions/assets local in cache for compute...

Very disappointing overall on the whole combination. At $200 MSRP, if even readily available for that price, with 1080p medium to low settings to make usable for current generation games does not look like a card that will stand the test of time in the end. For me, this is the worst GPU for this...

Brent, Far Cry 6 dynamically loads in hi res textures, with lower vram cards it will mix high and low res textures. This was observed and shown on YouTube where the 3080 would not load in the hi res textures. I noticed it even on the 3080Ti vs the 6900XT. I haven't played in a couple of weeks so...

Excellent take, also very surprising on 6900XT RT performance. I think as newer games with RT come out, the disparity for AMD and Nvidia on performance will drift closer together. Still I think Nvidia will remain on top due to larger bandwidth memory as well as more compute units. AMD speed...

Metro Exodus chart 1440p appears to be different than the description, having the 6700 on top vice the 3070. These games, or games selected in general run better with Nvidia Hardware. If doing canned benchmarks, more variety I would expect. AMD RT is much better when the game is developed...

Nice review. May pick up one or two of these, 2TB version. I've been rather happy with MSI in general, two motherboards working flawlessly, great quality in general. Another thing I am liking about MSI is they will admit on making a mistake and actively correctly it or redo the product.

Brent, I like how you incorporate DLSS and FSR in your graphs. Makes it very clear the performance option of using those technologies at that resolution for games that support them. RT is looking good for AMD on titles that were more developed with AMD in mind. I would say the more likely...

I have a B550 Biostar board with a 3900x, no issues and one of the few board I've ever owned that has zero problems going to sleep and back. Now the VRMs on that board I would say is shaky but I am not OCing. With two (one super cheap and the other kinda cheap) Biostar boards, they purred with...

My 5700XT from the factory had limited memory OCing, 103% and she was stable but that was it. After mining for about 5 months (not really that much for a mining card) anything over stock has issues. To me it degraded some. The Vega's (3x) HBM have held up well with probably over 1.5 year (24/7...

Well EVGA is probably my favorite AIB, not because they don't make some mistakes, always have the best card but they have by far from my experience the best service out there. Their forums are actually useful and full of tricks, OCing and so on. Plus EVGA does not mind you installing coolers...

Battery life, great College laptop, business laptops etc. I think these can do rather well if the performance and battery life is really good. Any game performance would be a benefit. How many developers will port over to ARM is to be seen. Switch is ARM and made for games, upping the textures...

I was surprised that at 79% fan speed Brent could not hear it and 100% was quiet as well. So I guess priorities on noise or size have to come into play.

The newer RT games with some AMD support do indeed seem better in RT performance but still behind Nvidia even if close, Dirt 5 for example. Other games like Resident Evil Village I believe also shows this. Love to see some indebt comparisons between FSR and DLSS, FSR looks to have a more...

I would like to know the avenue from Nvidia and AMD to the miners in China and elsewhere. The distributors having access to very large numbers of cards while a smidgen or totem quantities sent to retail sellers and at ridiculous prices. Why would large quantities of gaming cards from Nvidia be...

The real question is availability for these plus that is the same price as a 3060Ti which beats the 5700XT. Except the 3060Ti at MSRP is no where to be found. If AMD can just flood the market in something GPU wise, they could capture more market share.

Outstanding review, I think you showed for gaming, the 3080 Ti, the lowest end version from Gigabyte, keeps up and exceeds a 3090 OC version. In at least games, the 3090 makes very little sense for the extra money. Now rumors of better card availability abound as well with increase production...

It is more to do with the enhancements of DXR 1.1 which AMD and Microsoft worked together on, Nvidia also contributed. Most likely the optimizations that work well in RNDA2 did not make it in Cyberpunk 2077 since DXR 1.1 was much later. AMD video on how to optimize for RNDA2 plus it covers...
