    “Ryzen” Prices? AMD Fans Worried About $50 Premium for Ryzen 5000 Series, Lack of Stock Coolers

    5800X is pushing it as the 3800X was already too much for 8 cores. At this pricing for gaming only, it makes more sense to go Intel as they are at least getting another upgrade on the same chipset... I mean the 5900X and 5600X are fine pricing-wise vs Intel but I do not get the 5800X pricing.

    PS5 Teardown Provides Intimate Look at AMD Ryzen/Radeon SoC and Cooling Configuration

    The first retail expansion for the XBSX is 1TB for ~$220 which is pretty much standard for PCIe 4.0 drives.

    PS5 Teardown Provides Intimate Look at AMD Ryzen/Radeon SoC and Cooling Configuration

    I'm concerned about the liquid metal and how it will age.

    NVIDIA CEO: GeForce RTX 3080/3090 Shortages to Last Until 2021 Due to Mind-Blowing Demand

    I 100% agree that it is on NVIDIA for not gathering supply up for months before launch but you can't blame it on knowledge of previous launches. NVIDIA has more supply than the 20 series and the 20 series didn't have this demand issue. They expected and supplied more than the 20 series and the...

    NVIDIA CEO: GeForce RTX 3080/3090 Shortages to Last Until 2021 Due to Mind-Blowing Demand

    Console sales will be in the millions in the first few months but really can't be compared to $700+ and $1500+ graphics cards. There is more supply than 20 series cards and way more demand. I don't remember anywhere the outrage when you couldn't buy a 3900X for months. The 30 series hasn't...

    NVIDIA CEO: GeForce RTX 3080/3090 Shortages to Last Until 2021 Due to Mind-Blowing Demand

    From what I understand, they have sold 10s of thousands of 30 series cards and it seems to many like they have sold none as they sell out instantly. It is insane that demand is so incredibly high right now. And it isn't even 30 series cards. It is a seller's market right now.

    NVIDIA’s Latest Driver Fixes GeForce RTX 3080 Crashes, Users Say

    I feel this is more of a limit peaks issue than a 'throttle' issue. Likely a combination of Boost 5.0 and the slightly worse power delivery. I expect to see negligible performance difference from the change except increased stability for those that were having issues.

    Alleged AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series Specifications Published at Newegg Insider

    If this is true, it looks like up to double the performance of the 5700XT which is a very large leap for AMD. Should trade blows with the 3080 if everything scales well.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Game-Crash Issues Caused by Weaker Capacitors, Limited QA?

    I trust that the official reference design is the XC3 Black which is mixed. I believe this issue is likely a case of AIBs cheaping out on components/design. Hopefully a new vbios can fix it.

    Crytek: No Current GPU Can Run Crysis Remastered Above 4K/30 FPS at Max Settings

    There are rendering techniques I hope they implement to optimize things but I'm glad they are releasing a mode that will push hardware to the breaking point just because. DLSS should also be killer when it's in.

    AMD Unveils Radeon RX 6000 Design: Bye-Bye, Blower

    I installed Fortnite to look into the card and it's barely anything. No heatpipes, etc. Just fins, shroud, fans, and a backplate.

    EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 to Feature 2.1 GHz Boost Clock?

    Really the only thing that can be assumed about AMD's new GPUs is their stated 50% performance per watt improvement. Unless they are underselling RDNA2 to their investors (I highly doubt it), performance can be inferred from that. The only unknowns are how well it scales and how much power...

    NVIDIA Reiterates 750-W PSU Requirement for GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080

    It depends on the rest of the system. If the 3090 is 350W stock, overclocked it will likely be able to use 20%-30% more So just the GPU using up to 450 watts in that scenario.

    ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN 360 Hz Gaming Monitor Releasing in September for $699

    For $699, it's a very compelling purchase for top competitive gamers. Hopefully it is well calibrated from the factory. I think $599 would probably be the sweet spot but as it's the 'best' and it's less than I paid for my PG278Q in 2015 ($800)

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series to Start at $399?

    It doesn't make sense - I bet NVIDIA is feeding misinformation. If the entire lineup has RTX support, then there will be no 16x0 series. So the lineup needs to shift down - not up. 3050, 3050Ti, 3060, 3060Ti, 3070, 3070 with double RAM, 3080, 3080 with double RAM, 3090 I'm gonna guess...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Can’t Run Avengers at 4K/60 FPS, Even at Low Settings

    4K Ultra with a 2080Ti = 40-50fps 4K Low with a 2080Ti = 50-60fps Game does not scale well at all

    XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra Video Card Review

    @Brent_Justice Page 3 edit 3rd to last paragraph - If the XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra beats the RTX 2070 we know it will wipe the floor with the -----RTX 2070 SUPER-----. Should be 2060 Great review

    AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U Vega 8 iGPU Review

    The 3dmark talking point is not using the iGPU of the 3400g - it is using a 2080ti so it is impossible to compare even with the TDP differences.

    NVIDIA’s 7 Nm Ampere GPUs Will “Boost Performance by 50% and Halve Power Consumption”

    The only segment nvidia is competing with themselves is the super high end $700+ segment. The largest benefit of such an improvement to ray tracing performance is going to be on the low-mid end and nvidia wants those cards to be extremely attractive for buyers. The largest question is going to...
