AMD RDNA3 unveiling event

There are no real RT games I own that punish GPU's too hard.
Almost all of them suck.

I was never buying DL2 due to teh first being so horrendously boring.

Typical AMD Radeon GPU release. Per usual they scored the goal but it hit the goal post 1st before going in.
:cry:

Sapphire Nitro looks pretty sweet as well tbh.

I'm puzzled by that long bit of metal though. Is it a support bracket?

Looks like it mate, its a big boy at 3 slots

Raster performance is a wash between the 7900 XTX and the 4080

4080 RT performance is about 15% to 20% better on average.

Power consumption is lower on the 4080

7900 XTX is smaller

7900 XTX uses normal power cables

So pick either and be happy, or pick neither because they are joke prices and AMD and Nvidia need to find this out the hard way.

Also this is for the 2x8 pin 7900xtx. Will be good to see the 3x8 pin fully unleashed data.

That exactly line, word for word has been posted by quite a few different people in here now......

It was maybe in an nVidia marketing pack they were sent?!

Called it

Called what? That a gpu wouldn't live up to the stupid amount of hype being put on it, mainly fuelled by random "leaks" proclaiming it to be the second coming? This has to be a first in the tech world!!!!! :eek:

RavenXXX2 · 12 Dec 2022 at 21:10

All the hype came from AMD, they blew it.

No unfortunately not, thankfully I play a lot of indie stuff these days so the 1080ti can just about hang in there still, but when this thing ***** the bed I don't know what the plan is, probably just stop gaming to be honest.

Or just buy a console at this point.

It's the same every launch. Hype up the AMD launch so you can crap over it. AMD themselves said it was a 4080 competitor and it competes with the 4080 while being cheaper. My main gripe with it is i thought it would have more of a lead in raster and it consumes a bit more power. AMD clearly made a leap in RT being around 16% slower than Nvidia 2nd gpu. It's a flawed release but Nvidia's was a kick in the teeth after Covid.

I think you'll find the usual leaks and rumours 99% of which are utter BS also fuelled peoples expectations and got them imagining some god tier gpu. As usual these leaks along the way somehow become fact then people feel underwhelmed when the actual performance numbers appear. This also being the first chiplet based gpu had people thinking it was gonna blow everything out of the water due to it being new tech.

Where is all this amd hype as I'm not seeing it, they did their standard release, gave their numbers and that was it, I don't recall amd releasing images of a 7900xtx sexually violating a 4090, though to read some of the comments on here that seems to be something I missed as some people really had that expectation for some reason.

Watch hub review, he says their benchmarks are misleading giving the impression it was a rasta monster in most games.

So it huffs the ganja whilst gaming?

It's a failure from Lisa, this and zen 4 is a disaster for AMD.

How's zen 4 a failure? The fail in that platform lies with motherboards being stupidly expensive with manufacturers taking the **** with their pricing. Once they get more reasonable with prices they'll sell more. But it doesn't help with a cost of living crisis and potential global recession on the horizon.

RavenXXX2 · 12 Dec 2022 at 21:24

Failure because intel spanked it a month later.

You're supposed to put it in your own words, not just copy and paste the script

At this point i think he's just looking for reactions, in his underwear behind a keyboard caked in cheesy puffs.

That 16%... Could depend in which games you're looking at. Light RT will favour AMD.

Spanked it? Toms hardware didn't seem to think so, they gave the 13900k the nod in gaming with everything else mostly being a wash.

Plus the 3d cache versions are on the horizon which will likely end with amd taking the lead.
