Basically what this shows you is a 2080S should be a £550 part no more, pay £750+ if you wish buyer beware. Here endeth the lesson....

That is much closer than I assumed but what struck me more was the superior AMD image quality. I assume due to different brightness settings etc but the BFV sten gun receiver and middle distance buildings stood out as noticeably better on 5700XT. Hitman and many of the games just looked more blurred with the 2080S. I'd like to understand why given the received wisdom is there's no difference in image quality between AMD/Nvidia.
Can't say that i have noticed it at first glance, he may have Radeon Image Sharpening on in some of that, that at around +50 to +70% makes a huge difference to the image quality, i run it globally all the time, i can't play anything without it now....
Ahh well, have to call that one null and void then, if hes making the image quality look better on the 57 by using the Image Sharpening![]()
That's a very polite word to describe Nvidia. The word I was thinking of begins with C![]()
Since you want to spin it to discuss speculation, rather than insider info (which I am certain was what you were referring to earlier in this thread when discussing this "game" of yours).It's not even info, it's just more speculation that will likely change again next week. We've went from a 3090 competitor to 50% faster than 2080ti, to 15% faster than 2080ti. Throw enough **** at the wall and something will stick, and that's all that's occurring at present which is standard practice in the run up to gpu releases.
Yup, i still remember the fury x launch, all these tech sites with "insider info" etc were grasping at straws to tell us how much vram it had. One day it was 4, next day it was 8, then it was 6 at one point. Just literally throwing **** at a wall to see what sticks.
It really does boggle the mind about how much of a frenzy gets whipped up about getting a few extra fps in a game with a new card for the most part.
Basically all speculation "sources" or not. Throw enough **** at a wall and some of it is gonna stick. Remember how all the "sources" got the fury x wrong in terms of hbm? One minute it was 4 gig, then 6 gig then 8 gig, then up and down until it was revealed it was 4 gig, then they can point to their 4 gig "source story" and proclaim they were right while sticking their fingers in the ear and whistling Dixie if anyone brings up the articles that "sources" got wrong. Just seems more like tech sites pulling numbers out of the air once they spot an unusual cooler design citing a random $150 to make for clicks++.

Why can't peoples speculations change in the presence of more info? (Do you have proof that GPUs specs do not change at all during development?)
Did Corteks speculate that Big Navi was going to be 50% faster than the 2080ti or a 3090 competitor?
Do you have any proof that coreteks or other people are riding the wave on both the high and low speculations?
Also "3090 competitor" and "50% faster than 2080ti'" are bascially the same thing why did you split them up?
Edit: Example posts
there is no proof of anything either way up nor down, its a 'place ur bets' stake in the ground at best. I'm on board with the 80 CU hype train because without it I'm a sad panda left to Nvidia exploitation which to be fair I've avoided for many cycles but im feeling the green soft toy if AMD aren't stepping up to the mark
really wan to be hearing some 550mm2 and above stories at this point
tbh if they can build a 120 CU acturis core (again subject to wtf etc) then they can bloody well build something larger than then console APU stuff. A 120 CU GPU on RDNA2 and decent clocks would be frightening even Nvidia would be rightly worried about such a thing.
We made the 200 page anniversary.

You keep going on about "Corteks" or to put it properly "Coreteks", until this thread i'd never even heard of the channel. As for proof of sites riding the high and low end, 20+ years of watching gpu launches and seeing rumours and supposed "info" fly in all directions tell me all i need to know as nothing changes.
AMD have made a 52cu console apu so we know they most likely will bring out something much bigger and more powerful or we at least know they are capable of doing so. We also know that the ps5 apu has a gpu part that can go to 2200mhz. These facts if combined says AMD can bring a monster gpu to the table if they chose to do so. All the rumours are so far apart it's most likely just crappy guess work from so called reliable sources. Nvidia rumours suggest there chips will be pretty power hungry so AMD do not have to hold back on the clocks if that comes true. I guess if AMD are ready to get back into the high end now is a decent time to try.

Indeed. Glad I aren't the only sensible person confused.
Let me get this straight, you accused all these techtubers of making stuff up and having their foots on both halves of the speculation line. Except you have no idea which techtuber is saying what? (Since this is the first time you've heards of coreteks)
