They're launching it. Says so right there on that piece of paper. See? Right there! On the paper! Launched! :ROFLMAO:

If they're targeting creators they better have encoding performance on par with the NVENC capabilities of the 5070 Ti. That's been the biggest thing pushing people to Nvidia. NVENC H.264 works amazingly well for a single PC setup streaming to Twitch/YT. While AMD's solution is lack luster or...

I have a feeling AMD is holding on to the 9900/9950 X3D parts to see if Intel drops something or releases a BIOS/driver update to increase performance of their existing chips. Then AMD can drop the bomb on them with stock ready to ship. And if Intel doesn't then the new parts release end of...

If AMD doesn't ship 10's of thousands of units they'll have already failed.

I've played the hell out of Forza Horizon 5. Yeah it's arcadey. But it's fun. Haven't played a NFS game since Hot Pursuit. I tried their latest one and couldn't get it to work right with my wheel and pedals. It was weird, I'd get great FPS until I stepped on the throttle then FPS would tank to...

Are you being serious? Every new to market GPU requires the latest driver.

I'm grabbing one tomorrow. Any way I slice it it'll be a massive improvement over my 2080 Ti. The latest gen NVENC encoders is icing on the cake for me. I'm also going to put it on water, and if needed overclock it. I wish reviewers would including encoder performance from gen to gen. I know...

2560x1600 would be the sweet spot for me. Sadly no one makes one outside of small portable monitors. Dell used to make them until last year.

This was expected. Even MSI said there weren't going to be many units shipped since they didn't receive many from Nvidia. I'm sure Der8aur, J2C, GN, HU and rest of the influencers are enjoying their free cards.

J2C video on it shows another 12'ish percent gain when overclocked. That would mean roughly 24% generational improvement. Which is what we'd typically expect.

It appears the 5080 is a good overclocker. If that is consistent across a bunch of samples then it's a great candidate for water cooling to open up some possible additional headroom.

The AIB's see how well the scalper market has done over the past few launches, so they want a piece of that pie and will charge scalper prices themselves.

I wish they would go back to 16:10

Meanwhile MSI just said that supply will be extremely low as they did not receive a lot of GPU's from Nvidia. Makes me think that Nvidia is manipulating the market to keep values as high as possible,

Where there are modders there are creative people figuring out ways to bypass a closed system.

Steve @ GN did PCIe gen testing on the 5090. Basically you'll see 1-4% difference between PCIe 3.0 and 5.0. With 4% being an outlier. I know someone else brought it up in another thread. I've been saying it for years where GPU's are no where near saturating PCIe bandwidth.

Doesn't look like much of difference at all, performance wise. Could probably OC the FE card for the same gains.

GN just posted a video showing the disassembly. It'll take some engineering of the waterblock to make it work though. That's for sure.

$800 over MSRP for a card with a waterblock is the definition of insanity. An FE + waterblock will be cheaper than even the air cooled AIB cards.

That means the 9900X3D will perform worse than the 9800X3D. No different than the 7000 series, really.
