In looking at our test platforms and other published data, the 5800X3D is very competative. A recent review at Guru3D looked at DDR5 6200 and 7000 vs DDR4 3600 and 4000 finding just a few percent performance difference.
The proper AM4, DDR4 platform is still stout.
The difference between...
So, in a struggling industry, come up with some garbage to charge more to your shrinking base of clients.
Want to bet on big release weekends all the seats will be premium priced.
Exactly why I stream it at home.
Introduction This review is evaluating the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16G SUPRIM X video card (602-V511). We once again look at a top-shelf offering. Our video card has all the best that MSI can put into an RTX 4080 graphic card. Including a full die-cast polished metal shroud raised fan ports...
Interesting news article. Looks like the price and Ray Tracing are important.
3060 Ti cards are actually pretty stout.
Shows the new cards are just too expensive for alot of folks.
Introduction On our test bench, today is the first add-in-board partner-designed custom AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU-based video card we have tested. The XFX SPEEDSTER MERC 310 AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT BLACK Edition is a new, completely custom video card, from XFX sporting the new Radeon RX 7900 XT...
Introduction Today we are reaching up to the top shelf to grab an ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 O16G GAMING OC Edition (90YV0IC0-M0AA00) video card to review. This video card is the top-of-the-line available from ASUS in the newest version of GeForce RTX graphics cards. This ROG Strix RTX...
Yeah.
Unwinder himself said, it wasnt MSIs fault.
Its the sanctions from the invasion of Ukraine. Still, the guy has to eat.
We just have to wait and see.
The whole thing started with a guy on guru3d asking why AB hadnt been updated to his 7900 XTX.....Unwinder hasnt been paid for over a year.
Sad news.
Apparently "Unwinder" has decided to stop further development and updating of Afterburner.
Post on guru3d forum states that MSI hasn't paid him in a year due to sanctions on Russia regarding the Ukranian invasion.
The post...
I have to go along with Bauer here. AMD should know pretty much where the problem is.....ie, who made the suspect vapor coolers and be able to trace those down. They sold the units and should be able to find the owners. Rather than let the owners have to find them.
I guess they are sitting...
Its just maddening that the norm now is you simply cannot buy a video card near release from a legit source at the "MSRP".
Im not in the market, but do cruise the usual sites to see what's going on.
Not a video card to be had except on eBay for 300 to 1000 dollars over price.
I also blame the...
Ray Tracing. 4K is for Ray Tracing.
price is acceptable, but why is the XT even a thing at 899? It wont sell.
Too bad AMD cant figure out how to do more for RayTracing......
Don't these games get QA'd before release?
I guess the strategy is get the money first, fix the problem after the fact.
The publisher needs a rename to Crap-ton.
All the honest reviews I've read say don't think about buying this game for PC until it's in the half price Steam summer...
I would really like a 4080. I don't need all the extra horse power the 4090 has. That being said, for a few hundred bucks the 4090 is the way to go given the performance jump. So, I'm just going to wait. It will give me time to rearrange my case and watercooling loop to accomidate the size of...
