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

I wondered if these were pre-recorded as they look too smooth to be raw and live.

24 minute presentation for those wondering.

RTX 3080/3090 faster than Navi 21 at 4K games due to 256 bit memory bus limit?

 

[Phate]

Wow the amount of stuff we're seeing posted as people are going nuts. Deliberately controversial stuff like the above for some exposure.

Well you can't say AMD haven't built hype

We shall find out soon enough.

Its always possible, but didnt AMD say they are bringing 4k to the masses by 'disrupting 4k gaming'?

 

[Hotwired]

What's 4k gaming anyway.

Set some stone goalposts for the image quality and fps.

Doesn't take that much to play a 4k slideshow.

RTX 3080/3090 faster than Navi 21 at 4K games due to 256 bit memory bus limit?

Reading the comments I think the inference is that it spanks the 3080 at 1440p and lower and is give or take equal at 4k.

I was under the impression that Ampere didn't scale that well at lower resolutions. If you put that next to an AMD card that scales normally, it might give the impression that somethings is "wrong" at 4k when it's actually just normal scaling.

The RTX3070 has some issues at 4k due to small memory bus width, didn't think RDNA 2 would have the same issue and why didn't AMD just go straight to 512bit??

Maybe it's just not appearing to scale well because of CPU limitations at 1080p.

Maybe it's just not appearing to scale well because of CPU limitations at 1080p.

If AMD is running 500 series CPU's, that could make 1080p a little better. I think a 10900k should be okay with a 3080 at 1440p though.

That's what CapX said in his comments, he said big navi does well at 1080p and 1440p but drops off at 4k.
The RTX3080 and RTX3090 only excel at 4k, they suck at 1080p and 1440p.

Maybe it's just not appearing to scale well because of CPU limitations at 1080p.

Benchmarks with the new Ryzen CPUs could help to shed more light on the matter, purely because they appear to be a little faster than what's currently available. But HWUnboxed did a video that seemed to indicate the scaling was particularly good, beyond just CPU limitations. We shall see.

Agreed.

4pm popcorn and a few beers and hopefully a big grin if AMD pulls off the comeback

Yerp.

Be interesting to see how good the rdna2 dlss competitor is, hope AMD get it implemented in loads of games
