    DLSS a plug in for UE4

    Yep, UE is pretty much the poster child of stunning tech demos and mediocre looking and horribly optimised games.

    Rx 6800 good enough?

    I jumped on a 6800 MBA when I got the chance of one at RRP, even though I really wanted an XT. I'd already promised my old card (Radeon VII) to a friend and didn't want to let him down. I'm really pleased with the 6800. Cool, quiet and a big performance upgrade from the VII. I bought it for...

    The easyrider shuffle- Many of you have failed....

    Same - promised my Radeon VII to a friend so he could have a decent experience with Cyberpunk, then was left worried that I'd be unable to keep the promise. Didn't like that one bit. Luckily managed to get a 6800 from here only a few days after the game launched and the promise was kept :) I...

    GPU Barometer - 2020

    I find the "how much is too much" type questions quite difficult to answer. Consoles are simply not for me, so the question really boils down to "can I justify continuing with this hobby, or should I quit it altogether". Hard to put a monetary value on that. The cost of enthusiast gpus right...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    My apologies to you also. Thank you.

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    Man, seriously. I'd call this a strawman argument except that it's so obtuse it barely even makes sense. Since we clearly mutually consider each other a fool, we should probably stop responding to each other now. At least I will. You can do as you please.

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    I guess for the YT generation, sure. But the biggest? The rage when they bought out 3dfx and harvested their ip, apple (figuratively) giving them the middle finger after they refused to accept liability for a manufacturing defect in their gpus and the flurry of class action suites that...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    Linus was honest to a fault in his video, and his anger was completely genuine, I have zero doubt about that. He didn't talk about the "real payoffs" simply because it goes without saying. Everybody with half a brain understands how they make money from their reviews and it wasn't the point of...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    HU are one of four tech channels that I have any respect for at all, there is exactly zero evidence that they are AMD biased. They treat both teams fairly, and for every example of them talking up an amd card it's trivial to find one for them talking up an nvidia card too. HU for benchmarks...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    And on that point you are also completely wrong. And I know that you know it, just arguing for the sake of arguing. When a product like this launches there is a small window of opportunity where a reviewer can release a review for it to have any relevance whatsoever. HU are not likely to get a...

    Wow, Nvidia have banned Hardware Unboxed from receiving review samples...

    How are you not getting this? Or is it deliberate? If you don't have a day one review for these products, you have no review that counts. You have no views, and you lose money. It is a direct and intentional attack on their business, and a means to make an example of them in order to scare...

    In a few mins you will have a chance to grab a 6800 or 3060Ti

    Mine is also still "not shipped", so you're not alone :D

    The Radeon VII Owners Thread

    We appear to have different issues - at least maybe. I just updated to the 20.4.2 drivers, and now again I have the 20 seconds of nothing between the screen going off after the restarting screen and the system actually rebooting. There is no minidump folder in my windows directory and the event...

    That's good to know, thanks!

    The Radeon VII Owners Thread

    Haven't been following this thread recently, but is your reboot issue that it takes ages to actually do it? I've been crashing and black screening so much with the 2020 drivers and 20 seconds of black screen before a reboot actually happens that I rolled back to 19.4.3 a couple of weeks ago...

    Is it likely that high end Navi will be a redesign of Vega 64?

    Apple are not the reason. Vega was a compute architecture right from the start. AMD make money selling MI series accelerators, the VII existed only to recoup losses on dies that didn't make the grade for the MI50.

    Is it likely that high end Navi will be a redesign of Vega 64?

    Nobody would love that to be true more than me, but given what we actually know right now that's extremely speculative. All we really have right now to base that assumption on are some unsubstantiated leaks of optimism within the RTG from some niche youtubers. I mean, I kind of agree with you...

    Is it likely that high end Navi will be a redesign of Vega 64?

    Obviously he is not talking about cores. He's talking about discrete processors. A Zen chiplet is really a discrete processor, and most Ryzen/TR have four of them. The IO die joins them all together and the system reports one CPU node. I'm sure you know all this, so I have to assume that you're...

    Nvidia DLSS 5 months on-a win or fail?

    Alternatively, it means that those of us who understand the technology, how it works or doesn't, and what it is and what it is not, made the informed decision not to waste our money.
