AMD Navi 23 ‘NVIDIA Killer’ GPU Rumored to Support Hardware Ray Tracing, Coming Next Year

I work on a port unloading ships and we are busier than ever, so people are not changing their buying habits and the fact that the government are doing 95% mortgages for new buyers is a worry. Jobs are being lost everywhere and whilst I follow the YOLO theory, getting a GPU on credit isn't something I would ever do.
Yes Sir. I always buy with my CC, just for safety but always pay it off.
Yes unfortunately. Lisa Su did same some time ago that they no longer wanted to be known as the cheap brand (or something to that extent). I guess she has looked and thought, "if you can't beat them, join them"
Man!!! Some of you guys need to meet up and get drunk and realise we all like PC gaming regardless of what GPU we have. I am almost 50 years old (and feel it) and love the banter but petty digging is childish. Surely we all want a good competitive market? NVidia are great cards, AMD are great cards. I personally would love to see the top AMD card beating the 3090 and doing so in RT. If it costs as much as the 3090, so be it but at least competition is back.
Yea, NVidia have the head start and know what is what (or should do by now) but a 3090 matching card for a good price would be awesome. I personally am a massive proponent of RT and was the reason for me buying the 2080Ti and whilst others slate RT, I am personally massively impressed with how it works in games like Control and Exodus.That's not going to happen. If Big Navi was your employee he'd have started job hunting by now.
But then you're probably looking at $899 card that matches the 3090 in non RT performance.
I love how many experts are on these forums. People arguing over why Raja left/sacked AMD and reading their responses, you would think they were in the board meetings.
Quite a few people I know who work in shipping are now working from home and the companies supplied laptops for them. I can see this becoming a permanent thing also, as less overheads means more revenue.
Sorry off topic!
You make a valid point and being a 2080Ti owner, I am happy with the performance of RT in games. I am more of a gfx whore over frame rates though.Well, considering that RTX is an nVidia 'thing' I would certainly hope they win.
As for Ray Tracing, which is what I assume you actually meant, then we don't know for sure but it looks like AMD will be behind.
But if you look at how many people said RT was great on 2080ti and AMD is ahead of this, I guess you could argue the performance will be good enough
Yea, I don't sit close but will spot stutter/judder right away. Plus I do think it is time for me to go to specsavers, as I had to make the text bigger on forums and news feedsSame here, that is why I could never figure out why you was happy with 1440p (apart from thinking you either need to go spec savers or some people just see differently) until you told us all you sit 4 feet away from you monitor. I sit less than half that distance so 2160p makes a huge difference to image quality at that distance
At 50 years young, I don't mind admitting it is time to make the visit. Plus I sit 150ft ish up a crane and need to see properly for that.
I will be 50 in December. Had plans to go away for it but Covid has puts a stop to that
You never know, AMD release a beast and I will use the money saved for that instead.
It was so bad a joke, I wasn't going to respond but it is me, so I have tooThose crane guys are evil, you heard the jib of them?
Great to see the old folks know how to use a PC
The hardest bit for AMD is winning NVidia buyers, purely because they have been so far behind for so long, it will take a couple of gens at least to get hardened NVidia buyers on to AMD.
I have had my fair share of AMD GPUs and I have no issue changing to the quicker card. G-Sync would be hard to lose but I am up for grabbing another OLED in the future for gaming on, so certainly not out the qustion.Come on now Greg, you nearly had me till I read this bit!
Quite correct and only AMD know what is what at present. I do love a 'leak' though and it gives good talking points and our own speculation is always good reading regardless of how close or far.
Hopefully AMD have decent drivers and the card is on par with the 3080 at least. Price is important of course but I feel the days of a £400 GPU that is the fastest out are long gone.
Poor Volta springs to mind
