I think it's pretty clear what is and any comments I have about it are not important and people can make their own minds up about it after reading the review.

Yeah I agree, thanks for posting I been looking for a propper Test to see if it's worth swapping out boards.

Well, if I was w1zzard I might feel miffed that TPU are not credited in the thread title though since the thread title is obviously too specific to apply to any other potential articles from other sites.
 
Just read review, half a frame at 4k on my god what a dissapointment.

Seems like it was overhyped big time.

Some games even have less frames with bar on in that review. lol what a load of trash/. Time for me to forget about the whole thing.
 
Having just read the article, is it just me or is w1zzard a major Nvidia fan?
No doubt this list will get longer, pushed forward by NVIDIA's excellent engineering team and developer

And
AMD just got lucky this time around because their RDNA2 cards were developed with PCIe Resizable BAR support in mind, which meant it didn't have to be added at a later time (remember RX 5600 XT BIOS updates?).

Are not words a neutral author would write.
Plus it's hardly luck since they specially designed RDNA2 with SAM in mind and hence didn't have to update any VBIOS's.

Some of those 22 games don't even have Bar enabled because of Nvidia's whitelist yet they show similar performance increases anyway, probably due to natural variance rather than anything tangible.

AMD also had to put in a lot of work (hardly luck) and it has taken Nvidia a long time to catch up and even then it's only in 17 games (instead of globally like AMD). It seems to be a pretty buggy implementation with some performance regressions despite the whitelist which was supposed to avoid them.

Yup, i wouldn't bother either, not for a couple of frames or so in a few games, if you want extra peformance, just OC your card, no need to flash it, or your motherboard, or potentially have to reinstall, as you hosed your rig switching from MBR to GPT, and no fannying on having to turn it off and on, when some games wont run, stutter like buggery, or decrease in peformance with it on.:p

It reminds me of that HAGS, which ive not bothered with either :D
 
It seems like one of those things that come downs to the hardware in the end, much like mantle back in the day.... as I noticed a massive difference in the low fps on cyberpunk with my 2600 and 3080 with re-size bar turned on. Shame that game doesn't have a built in benchmark.

Don't have valhalla to test (seems to be the main game that gets the biggest boost) as it looks like the same boring repetitive **** as the last 2 games. Must try gears 5 though.
 
Should I ever manage to get a new gpu there is a bios available for my motherboard but so far the gains with most games seem to be tiny if any at all and hardly worth the hassle of flashing the bios and re-entering all the settings again. I know it's in it's infancy still but it seems to be a lot of hype over nothing.

Just noticed that the review only had 16GB.
Thermaltake TOUGHRAM, 16 GB DDR4
@ 4000 MHz 19-23-23-42 1T
Infinity Fabric @ 2000 MHz (1:1)

Which makes me wonder if there wouldn't be more benefit is system RAM was a lot bigger than VRAM.
For your Cyberpunk experience, how much RAM do you have?
