AMD sponsoring wow is bigger news than most think as shadowlands is going to offer raytracing so it could be the first game we see AMD raytracing Vs Nvidia

Once AMD has ray tracing their cards are going to be able to play any ray traced game that's out already. Metro Exodus, Battlefield V etc.

In theory, it's all DXR, but things and stuffs

I uninstalled bfv. It's just not as populated as it use to be and I can't find the maps I want to play.

Try out Ray Tracing on AMD GPU
Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled I using Chrome.

Ok that is certainly quite cool. its a pity is not AMD that has brought us this.

Because then I could make the joke that NVidia brought us quake 2, whereas AMD had to go back to the original Wolfenstien to show off their raytracing.....

In fact I don't think quite cool really does it justice. that is very, very cool. brought back all sorts of memories.

Yes, indeed, AMD have proven to be quite slow out of the gates getting new technology working properly. But, hopefully AMD have got their act together and their RT solution is working good from launch.

I know but as I recall you was very disappointed with it when it came out a few years ago. Was it fixed with an update?

They done a remake of MOO a couple of years ago which is worth playing.

Yea. That was the one you was disappointed with as I recall. Hence asking if there was any major changes to it from release .

MoO 3 is still crap. There was a new Master of Orion made in 2016.

Yea and many said that was crap to, pretty sure so did Kaapstad. Which is why I never purchased it. It is on sale for about £7 now on steam. So I am wondering did the devs do anything to fix it after the reviews came out or is it the same?

So what are we thinking, AMD to have a 200MHz clock speed lead over Nvidia?

It's getting annoying not hearing anything from either company about anything, no announcement of events even... Its getting long

Yes they are getting very good at controlling the information. I think they've realised there is an entire industry trying to find out what they're up to.

I do get the feeling that AMD fans are going to be more pleased than Nvidia fans this time. I think I may skip this generation as I have a 5700XT. I'd love to jump on a high end card that ray traces but I think my cash will have to be spent on other more mundane household bills instead.

Yeah I have money saved from downgrading for one of these cards, but I only have to think what I could buy for that money instead and it becomes suddenly apparent that they better hurry up or my sensible brain will take over

quite possible since they're already hitting 2100mhz in console APUs BUT what really matters is if there is a Teraflop
Lead. Then again it's worth pointing out that these new consoles are the most power hungry and biggest consoles ever launched. Consoles have gone from having the length and width of an iPad to the length and width of a small PC case and with it 300-400w TDP

So the same TDP as Nvidia's next gen GPUs
