NVIDIA ‘Ampere’ 8nm Graphics Cards

I am leaning towards the desktop option, which would likely be overkill but would last me ages even at 4k resolution with the games I like to play. I could also run a 20m HDMI cable to my living room TV and have the option to game in there on the big screen if/when I wanted.

Not always as easy to use a 20m HDMI cable for 4K/60 gaming as you would think. Even more so if trying to use HDR too.

What do you mean 'latency' with the 4000 series? The Zen2 are on a par with Intel at gaming, faster in multi-core/threaded applications and Zen3 will be approx 15% faster. They are also significantly cheaper. It's a no-brainer if you want something to last the next few years.

Explanation and chart there. Yes AMD are doing well, but i would still say there's a gap in gaming.

There's a few games which are more than 5% difference from what i have seen, but for the most part they seem to be quite close

5% on average

Intel recently commissioned a paid test, they tested the top 50 games on steam against Zen 2 and the average was 5% advantage to intel.

Most people don't just play one game, for people that play different games it's just a 5% gap
 
Come on Nvidia, I'm so impatient. I need this before Cyberpunk 2077 arrives. Do people think a 3070 will be enough for 4k60?

WCCFTech (I know) had an article yesterday that Nvidia and AMD had bought up all of TSMC's short-term capacity for the rest of the year. Kind of predictable but hopefully it means imminent production and then some launch events.
 
I would guess (hope) it will launch in September and they will make good use of Cyberpunk 2077 for marketing.

Even if it did not do 4K60FPS on all the latest games, with DLSS 2.0 which I am pretty sure Cyberpunk 2077 will have, you could easily achieve it with that.

I am talking about actual real-world impact of this latency, not Sisoft synthetic benchmarks. Can you please provide some evidence of this significant "gap" in gaming, because all of the Ryzen 3900x reviews I have read show that overall the AMD and Intel processors are on a par (average around 5% difference in favour of Intel) but the overall performance of AMD in productivity and encoding tasks is significantly higher (up to 50%). Considering the price difference, AMD is clearly overall a MUCH better buy (is there a professional review site that has performed extensive testing saying otherwise?) and Zen3 will only further enforce this. I don't give a toots about brand loyalty, I just look at performance and value objectively.

I think DF showed the biggest difference in a few games, but at 1080p. I thought i had seen some at 1440p as well, as i said above though they are quite close for the most part. I guess those other ones just favour Intel for whatever reason, latency or otherwise.

Ok I see. I think we can conclude though that there is no significant difference between the two in gaming.
