Did you upgrade to a C9?

As far as I know not officially, but apparently there is a cru hack or something like that to make it work. I mean end of the day the tv is VRR and there is no module in there, so there is no reason apart from marketing that it should not work.

Cheers and no, I have the older OLED but Mrs has allowed me the use of the spare room, so tempting to buy another when funds allow for a massive screen gaming room.
 
Check for firmware updates, with the new consoles launching and supporting Free-Sync 2 TV vendors are scrambling to get supported.

I believe LG have said "no" to Freesync on the C9.. I think they're using Freesync as leverage, like; "here, buy the CX instead - it has all the VRRs" :( Still sticking with my 65C9 though :D

RX 6000 series cards to launch on 15-20 November 2020. Jay2cent was corrected said there will be no cards in stock or on sale on 28 October 2020 when AMD will unveil RX 6000 series.
 
Since the 600 series Nvidia introduced something called GPU Boost. It's one step beyond boost clock. Boost Clock was always advertised but GPU Boost was never openly advertised. It's defined as dynamic clock. The results is that it increases the frequency beyond the Boost Clock to a predetermine power target. Which gave them an edge over Radeon Cards, which was the point IMO.

The issue is that people didn't like it reduced because it's not what they expected when buying it. The counter argument is that you, as a consumer, never had a right to a specific GPU Boost because it was never part of the AIB's advertising.

However, I disagree with that argument. Because it is advertised from nvidia. Therefore, you don't need it in the spec of the AIB card or printed on the box. Also, it's not the board alone that provides this GPU Boost it's the GPU dies that does this. The board can limit it's use as demo'd by the lack of proper MLCC/PSOCAPs.

Even he's confused because he uses all MLCC's.

If AMD had done this there would be pitch forks ready to bare and every reviewer out there would be calling AMD out for it. Would it be right? Yes, but it's one sided that is the problem. And those same reviewers should be calling out Nvidia for advertising GPU boost and reducing it for stability.
Consumer's have a right to be upset. However, they gave Nvidia a pass for doing that to them.

I truly hope AMD gets RDNA 2 right this round. RDNA 1 had teething problems that got addressed. But there is no margin for error with RDNA 2. I can believe that the 6800 would boost to 2.5K. But if the 6900 can also boost to 2.5K...that would put to rest that it would beat a 3090. This should force a price war of some kind. Which would allow the cards to be had at a affordable price.

If it's also true that Ryzen 5000 series has a faster IPC then Intel I hope to actually see Bundles: ram/motherboard/gpu/cpu prices.

Only a few weeks to go at this point. All those who were expecting to get off the hype train buy purchasing a 3080 and can't...will have to wait until RDNA 2 release at the next stop ahead.

Chooo Chooo
:D

If you get a 3080 then you can use freesync or gsync.

I'm using freesync on my 3080 with my 2018 55" q8dn qled.

What’s worse, a rushed semi-paper launch where 10% of people get a card and the rest have to wait a month. (While the cards that were purchased have issues..)

Or an actual paper launch where everyone has to wait a month? (Cards still may have teething issues..)

I think I’d rather just wait. Then again I seem to be far more patient than a lot on here. Especially the ones selling their cards before the new ones were even released! :eek:

Obviously there is the launches should never be paper launches issue but they seem to be the norm now among tech companies. Along with upward price fluctuations..

Let's clarify one thing first and foremost - has AMD got the production capacity to fulfill the orders for the next 6 months??
If the answer is no, then it doesn't matter if the launch is "on paper" or "semi-paper".

I think the best for everyone right now is if AMD reveals the cards' performance, so everyone gets their plans together.

So potentially a 2 to 3 week wait after reveal? Ill take that given how bad the Nvidia launch has been, atleast we should see some units in stock

Going by Jensen's announcement in kitchen day it was two and half weeks after that pre-orders went up.
