  1. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I think you are right about what happened at launch, and Sony supposedly said they were good with the lower yields if they got a more competitive chip late in the game. Then Covid + mining, of course. Given how it was a drop in replacement for the PS4 who knows how it might have done without...
  2. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    Sure, that makes sense. Put me down as someone who doesn't care if the chassis is a little bigger. I have a launch unit that is silent except for disk grinding the first time I load a game, which is so nice. I don't miss the howling fans of yesteryear. I also understand that smaller chassis...
  3. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    Somewhat back on topic, it will be interesting to me at least if the PS5 Pro with the shiny new GPU can slot in at or below the power and cooling envelope that the launch PS5 had. I am making some assumptions, but we are moving from 7nm TSMC to… 5nm TSMC? I know the PS5 made an intermediate...
  4. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I think these charts are interesting: https://www.vgchartz.com/article/460837/ps5-vs-ps4-sales-comparison-march-2024/ PS5 has been eerily on pace with the PS4 over its lifetime. I am not sure if that is exciting or not, but it puts it on pace for selling 100M+ in its lifetime. The graph...
  5. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I trust Sony will have a way to squeeze everything out of this but isn’t the lack of symmetry in this type of hardware a little odd? Is there a purpose to this that’s obvious to those in the know?
  6. Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    It's all about the backwards compat. If it comes out and it's not, I'll buy a Switch OLED for the long haul. If it is, I'll buy as close to launch as possible and hope that some of my games that remain unplayed because of my perceived performance issues (Astral Chain) will get some sort of FPS...
  7. Goodbye NX, hello Switch

    And at this point in its lifecycle and there being strong rumors that Switch 2 has backwards compatibility? Line up for a launch of next gen switch and enjoy it for 5-7 years :)
  8. Question WIll you miss MSI AMD cards?

    My $.02 is that I liked MSI for their super simple warranty. Do you have a receipt? Warranty starts when you bought it. No receipt? Warranty starts when card was card was born. Whoever holds the receipt and the card holds the warranty. Registration, transference, etc. all NBD, not...
  9. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    That would make sense, but it doesn't look that is corroborated by anything outside some forum posts in Chinese. Certainly the 6700xt and 6600 vanilla seem to have stuck around quite awhile, its possible that as N7 prices came down and RNDA3 didn't play out quite as expected they decided to...

    Continues to be a great pick now in the sub $200 space.

    I don’t get it :( What does that mean?
  12. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    RT is really low overhead in Doom Eternal in my experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how well my 6800 did, although the implementation is pretty minimal.
  13. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    Ugh. But that's more boring. Fine.
  14. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I don’t think he is saying that at all. It’s the now dead RDNA4 parts that were slated for GDDR7 all along, but the memory controller design was unified across the line. I think that’s what the point is.
  15. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    If RDNA5 is really 2026 a bump in mid '25 with GRDD7 would be... something at least. Not saying that proves anything, but for a SKU to last ~3 years and to bridge memory technologies during that time, it at least is plausible from a strategy standpoint.
  16. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    LMAO, that's such a "WORKS AS INTENDED, TICKET CLOSED" response it makes my skin crawl. Yeah, but is that "works as intended" the same as "works as customers expect"? Or in a way that avoids disappointment? Those can be vastly different things, and that would be the same case here IMO. It...
  17. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Ha, only for the studios that need to care about that putrid thing as some sort of priority target. If you are making your game work Xbox One through Xbox Series X then its not that big of a deal. Giving a next gen game a small and ugly texture pack for that little install base serves as a way...

    The magic of the 3D chip, IMO. Not really great at anything but making games run like butter.
  19. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Yeah I always chuffed and thought it was for the Twitch crowd but I’ve done it a couple of times on Xbox and PS where I can hit “save the last 30 seconds” or whatever and I am starting to appreciate it more. I’ll definitely look into it, thanks. I don’t need crazy quality and I can drop in a...
  20. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Eh, includes a loading screen/level elevator then a planet covered in vegetation. That’s pretty atypical as far as I have seen. I dunno. I wouldn’t take it as gospel. I need to figure out how take videos like everyone else. My son and I had a great time last night and I dropped a 500kg bomb...
  21. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    As a game I am actually playing, I find this interesting but not necessarily reflecting my experience. I don’t think I tweaked anything when launching the game except to enable HDR but I will have to circle back. My 6800 is usually at 70 fps+ and I have chill enabled. Then again maybe the 3D...
  22. Poll: Do you care about ray tracing / upscaling?

    Don't insult my democracy simulator that way! HA. That plus Deep Rock Galactic should show that there is a healthy customer base for games you pay for once and could possibly elect to spend more on later. And the games - mostly - just work. Palworld to the side, its apparent that you don't...

    Oh, they'd never pay to astroturf. Rollo? Where you at? Keys? You still reading? :D
  24. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    That would actually be mildly disruptive to the market. I call shenanigans! ;)
  25. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I get that we will get there eventually. My point would be is we would typically get the big boy RDNA 5 parts at the top and then we get the mainstream parts “later” - months or quarters? During that overlap we get a mixed lineup card. Even now the best value AMD card is the RDNA 2 6700XT. I...
  26. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    Reddit still hates AMD with the fire of a million suns outside of r/amd, with every post lamenting crazy issues when people “gave AMD a chance” and came back to the promised land and warm embrace of Nvidia. However on sites like Slickdeals there is definitely an eye now turned to value and...
  27. Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I am wondering if this is the next Polaris vs being a flash in the pan. Optimized die sizes, better than or competitive with current gen consoles and the full DX 12U feature set, this could really be the “bottom” end of the AMD lineup for the next 3 years or so. We keep saying how it’s a...
  28. AMD 7900GRE general release

    They definitely keep the transaction fees from the seller. Amazon wants so badly to be the one place anyone ever thinks to shop they’ll let a lot of fraud go. It’s better to be the one stop shop than practically anything else.
  29. AMD 7900GRE general release

    I had a 3090 Ti get lost on its way to me. Showed up about 10 weeks later, well after it had been refunded and presumably the vendor had done the insurance claim on it. Installed it in the clients PC, who had ordered it on their card and dealt with the refund to ensure if there had been a...

    Hey, rules are you gotta give us at least a TL;DR taste! :)
  31. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Yeah, used card prices are dumb. EVGA was dumping them directly for less than $200 what seems like 2 years ago now. It might have only been a year... yeah, last January I got one for a friends build for $186 on eBay. This guy was upgrading from a GTX 460 768MB so I thought I would get the...
  32. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    2060 12GB, our Eth mining savior with a 2060S core and 192 Bit 12GB frame buffer, would be the real one I would like to see in the test as the only other 2000 generation card with a greater than 8GB frame buffer. If it succeeded where the 2080S stumbled that’d be pretty funny, but seems unlikely.
  33. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Makes you wonder if there isn’t some driver optimization or even some fixed function hardware the 2080 is missing. The 5700XT doesn’t make any sense landing where it does unless this is something where the highly packed math or the other magic sauce Vega introduced actually gets used. I am...
  34. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    Just prepping for the UE5 compute-calypse! ;) Really though, highly optimized console titles right now are going to favor RDNA2 and 10-12GB of frame buffer. Because that’s what the consoles, a fixed target, offer. I think this is super notable because lacking this RDNA would not be a target...
  35. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    There is no sigh emoji. I would use it if possible. I admit defeat. I thought it could be more simple. Even some of your counterpoints, all accurate from my recollection of reading this thread aren’t even counter points or disagreements but just some sort of parallel train of thought that’s...
  36. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    I am little baffled at this thread. As of now, AFAIK, we have the debaters agreeing: 8 GB is too little for 1440p now and for the future. 8GB at this time is fine budget 1080p. 8GB is a current compromise at 1440p and higher but if you dial stuff down it works. Some cards have more memory...
  37. 8GB VRAM not enough (and 10 / 12)

    I also don’t think that 1080p screens will remain the standard. 27” and 32” 1440p screens are so inexpensive, available and just plain better than a smaller 1080p screen that by 2030 I think even the high refresh 24” 1080p screen will largely be viewed as the absolute bottom budget gamer...
  38. Discussion Nvidia Blackwell in Q4-2024 ?

    Whatever they do in that regard, it should be accelerating the calls that MS DirectStorage uses. Otherwise, why bother other than to sponsor three titles that use it and plant a victory flag for yet another proprietary tech that will likely see little industry uptake? HW acceleration for...
  39. Official Playstation 5 thread

    Turns out it was a solution in search of a problem. Everyone can have their own opinion, but I think it needed like 3 killer games and at least another ~10 AA type titles to be worth its existence. I don't think its gotten a killer title yet? Sort of old news. I think it comes down to...
  40. Question are video card prices headed down yet?

    Been that guy on the IT side. It’s so easy to be that smug smartest guy in the room when you show up, having made none of the compromises that the folks there have had to worry about, fight with each other about, and have restless nights of sleep about. You show up and you can see all the duct...
