Well, you gave no specifics on what you plan to drop to or what work loads you're talking about, so really this could be anything. Just posting to so I don't forget to check back on results 😉.

I don't know why if the manufacturer has limited supply they don't just have a pricing structure similar to what scalpers are doing. First week they are rediculous priced, second week it comes down some, etc, etc until it's at MSRP. AMD/AIB's profit, scalpers have no room left the buy, if you...

Huh? It has plenty of support, the quality is just sub-par. It's supported under both linux and windows as well as multiple applications, including their own recording software in their drivers. My complaint has nothing to do with software support, it has to do with lacking a good hardware...

When did they lock out ECC? Last I heard it's spotty support but not locked out, just MB manufacturers haven't been adding much support wise. Possibly this changed and I missed things a so haven't really looked into it for a while. I agreed I'm wonder how Xe transcoding will be, and wish AMD...

I run plex without a GPU as well and end up transcoding sometimes as I record live TV OTA, and some things like the fire stick don't/didn't support MPEG2 directly and have to transcode. Then again, I have (older) dual 6/12 core xeon's, so it's not really a huge deal. I would love to swap this...

If you find a better way, please share as rgb is still a huge mess of proprietary software.

This is what I was going to say... the PS5 can't even run AAA games at 4k 60hz... what exactly are you missing by not having a 120hz bandwidth? If you want to run 120hz you most likely have to turn down resolution anyways. Maybe there will be some really low poly/low detail game that can...

Yeah, at $150 it'd look much better!

I just have bad luck... My b450 needed an RMA because it failed to run my 3700x. My 1600 would run 100% solid in the board. Tried like 3 different bioses before giving up. RMA sent a refurbed board, the nvme screw was broken off in the board. Was able to get that out with the eraser side of a...

I was just recommending a 1650 super to someone earlier in the day... Not everyone buys 3090's. He is also using it for a second PC for dedicated streaming and some gaming when friends come over, so 1650 super is the cheapest turing nvenc encoder you can buy ;). Normal 1650 didn't come with...

I'm not sure what hat you mean by mid level $/perf? Their 6800 or 6800xt? Their $/perf seems to match up similarly,l. My biggest complaint is nothing in the actual range the majority of the population buy in. If I could grab a 3050/6600xt for like $250 that is ~2070 /5700xt performance, I'd...

Did AMD purchase xilinix yet? Seems like this xilinix thing might be a good thing for them.

90w... If it was 70w we could use without a PSU/pcie connector ;). My server has dual PSU's but they plug right into motherboard and don't have connectors. Without some soldering I'm pretty limited on what I can install in my Plex server.

I mean, you can get a B550 with decent VRMs, multi-gig ethernet, pcie 4.0 (GPU and first NVME), all the tuning/clocking you want for well under $200... What Intel boards can I buy in that range with feature parity? Sure I may skip the $89 B550 if I'm going 5800x+, but for a 5600x it'd work fine...

The developer stated that using 4k textures uses 12gb... It's not as much of an assumption as assuming that it's just unoptimized. A 4k texture takes about 128mb+ depending on features (RGB alpha, displacement, surface normal, etc). So, if you have 100 textures, that's 12+ gb alone.. not...

So, it'll have the same CUDA core count, but less bandwidth... so it'll be less than 10% faster for sure :). What price point do they slot this into? Above or below 6900xt? And even if this is "rushed" through, stock will be abysmal.

They lost me at having to pay $30 for a crappy benchmark that has no bearing on how well it will do in a real game. Here's to hoping Blender can add raytracing for AMD cards into their product and then that will be easy enough to find just raw raytracing throughput. Also, does anyone know how...

If that's your criteria, then AMD is already there with Fidelity FX RIS... it works in all games and gives a better IQ result than DLSS 1.0 but not as good as DLSS 2.0 IQ (depending on the scene, sometimes better, but more often worse). It's also open source and can run on any GPU... so if this...

You are correct, the only way they should remain at 40% is if the 3080 was 2x the speed of the 2080ti, which it isn't. Otherwise the % difference should be better, although really not by as much as you're probably thinking. Example: Game runs at 80fps without RT and -40% (48fps) with RT This...

I'm sure we'll hear more soon, they have a large partner in microsoft who has been helping work on this technology, so I don't think getting resources and building a databas of games will be that difficult for them. It'd be different if it was their own proprietary hardware, but it's not...
