i game at 1080 for 120hz as tv doesnt do 1440p at 120hz, but i paid 220 for my xbox series s, why should i pay nearly double for same experience, and before u say ray tracing, its still a gmmick in my eyesSteam survey says 70% of gamers are on 1080p...., with .001% on ultrawide.

Similar performance and price to 5700xt, but with ray tracing. Said ray tracing drops below 30 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, https://youtu.be/_tDYu5sBtFs?t=962
Not really
may 1080p sure, now go look at higher resolutions - at higher it's turned into a rtx2060 super

It's actually quite a remarkable piece of engineering, from disabling half the pcie lanes to picking the precise amount of infinity cache to keep 1080p performance with just enough to feed the cores.
AMD designed it exactly to be used for 1080p and nothing else and that is quite the achievement. The only problem is that at nearly $400, it looks more like profit boosting measures than trying to deliver value to the consumer
Come on I thought we blamed the miners for all the price hikes?
Wow!Hash rate is 32 mhash ETH at 55w. The king is back
A lot's changed since, even if resolution hasn't.shame 1080p is so 2010 think we moved on since then
This is honestly the disappointing thing about it for me, I don't understand what they're really saving by making it x8 only. They did the same with the 5500XT.I posted some results from ComputerBase over in CAT's review thread:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/posts/35023567
Average PCIe 3.0 Vs 4.0 difference on their game suite was 2% but the biggest difference was 11% to 13%.
Of course, that's for PCIe 3.0 Vs 4.0 . The card is x8 either way so we can't know what a theoretical x16 would perform like.
Would be bound to use more power though.
They sure will, though the masses buy prebuilts anyway, just as they did with phones. People will pay if they must because fundamentally these things are still so value-laden, it's just that PCs have been so exceedingly cheap these last 3-4 years it skewed people's perception greatly. In reality PC gaming is still cheap compared to other hobbies (which are all also going up in price).Sound logic but the problem is the masses don't spend £400+ on a GPU.

gamers are thick imo, they are paying these prices now, so what you think amd and nvidia going to next gen, up prices again, because theu know gamers wil pay it, its not miners any more, its gamers. cant wait for next gen and the moaning begins, and it was their bloody fault, gamersjust cant stop themselvesm, its the FOMO effect
stick gamer on a product they fall over themselves to buy even at x10 msrpSaid it before but too many feathers get ruffled. This 'gamer' nonsense branding has gone too far. Surprised they dont sell gamers socks. RGB was bad enough.
Horse has bolted on price years back, PCMR has a lot to answer for.

As others have said, they've physically limited it to a max of 8x while using a 16x slot. Generally it's not a massive loss, you'll probably lose around 5% performance while running it on PCI-E 3. But most systems will be PCI-E gen 3. And then you have games like Doom Eternal where it gets beaten by the 5600XT
Link for start of the PCIe testing.
