*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

I still have my Note 10+ though? I sent them my Note 3 which was worthless.

S24U baby. £355 brand new directly from Samsung with 2 years warranty

Mine still cost less? S20FE 5G uses an SD865 and it still is getting quarterly updates.

If another misprice happens I just might. At current msrp? No chance. No need

You say that!

For me it is basically re-playing the game over & over again. They did add DLC but didn't like it that much so I mostly skip it, though I did most of my playthroughs before it arrived.

This was from a year or so ago, actually haven't played much at all the past 2 years.

about 60k users a day on steam still which is not bad considering its complete garbage I did have a little go and nearly bought it at £4.99 4 months after release but nahh ( I accept my views on this are my own ) compared to the 1.49m people a day playing counterstrike with no ray tracing

certain I have also played games other think are crap over and over again

Yeah I can't understand that with single player, replaying when you already know what's gonna happen spoils it , it just repetitive doing the same thing again and again , I loved the last of us and red dead 2 but wouldn't replay them again when I already know what happens now

Online against real humans I'll keep coming back

It cost less cos it's worth less

You say that!

You genuinely think I will buy one for £700+

No chance.

Difference is its online you playing against others , not alone with the same story line

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

So you paid more because it's worth more? Also Pixel's get all the latest Android security updates before Samsung,so I am doing OK. Pixel vs Galaxy fight!

Surprised,Mr Bargain Hunter you missed out on the cheap Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Mine cost under £200 and I noticed plenty of uplifts in games even with my older card. It's worth more now than what I paid for it!

You should have sold your Ryzen 9 whilst it still had value!

No chance.

So £699.99 then?

Yeah, played through twice, once on PC for the graphics and then on PS for the trophies, will complete it on PS for the platinum but after that games are dead to me. Even souls games after I have platinumed them, I can't ever see me picking them up again.

 

[TNA]

So you paid more because it's worth more?

It is a better phone yes. But you already know that.

Also Pixel's get all the latest Android security updates before Samsung,so I am doing OK. Pixel vs Galaxy fight!

Lol. I have had the February update for a while. Fast enough for me.

I don't have a AM5 mobo for starters. I would have to upgrade more than just the CPU? I never missed it, I already made the decision of waiting for AM6.

You should have sold your Ryzen 9 whilst it still had value!

When it did, it still would have cost me a lot more to upgrade to AM5.

So £699.99 then?

Now you are just crying. Did Poneros upset you that much? Lol

 

[uscool]

It is a better phone yes. But you already know that.

How about OnePlus 13 for £500 and not being stuck with pixel , Apple or Samsung, if only the GPU market had such options

 

[Xelene]

....They did add DLC but didn't like it that much so I mostly skip it....

Wait what? ... processes this for a second. Yes still. WHAT? Are you referring to stuff like the transit system; or the extra nail options (which actually is almost enough to get me to replay it! - they _nailed_ that one!). You obviously can't be referring to Phantom Liberty, one of the best expansions of all time and almost a fulfillment of the original promise.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It is a better phone yes. But you already know that.

Yes,so I paid less for a phone which is still decent. I got cashback too.

Lol. I have had the February update for a while. Fast enough for me.

Google invented Android,so I get all the updates quicker anyway!

When it did, it still would have cost me a lot more to upgrade to AM5.

A decent mATX B650 motherboard costs £105 and HUB verified it had excellent VRMs. You can even get a motherboard with an integrated Ryzen 9 7950X for under £380 with PCI-e 5.0!

You could have sold the CPU,motherboard and RAM and upgraded to the second fastest gaming CPU available for not much more. That CPU is worth more now than what I paid for it.

A bunch of mates with slower GPUs than you have noticed better overall performance with Zen4.I had a Ryzen 7 5700X with optimised RAM timings and the uplift is noticeable in many games.

With Intel apparently on the verge of being broken up,we are not a premium company AMD will probably try a fast one. Example is Zen3 pricing at launch.

Now you are just crying. Did Poneros upset you that much? Lol

So £699.98 then?

Don't blow a gasket.

Poneros acknowledged the RTX5070 was only worth £300 in their estimation,which is even harsher than what I thought it was worth.

 

[Ross Thomson]

@TNA You will upgrade once Cyberpunk 2078 Super Duper RT-PT Edition is out,and the RTX4070TI will be relegated to peasant level RT performance.

Shame that @mrk didn't sell you an RTX4090 for under £1000. Upgrade path in tatters,I tell you. Might need to turn RT down to medium now.

could always borrow a 1440p monitor until a better GPU comes out in their price point.

 

[sx_turbo]

There are really three possibiliies:

1. The chips came out defective from the fab with missing/non-functional ROPs
2. The chips were intentionally cut to have less ROPs.
3. Both 1 and 2 could have occured i.e. chips were defective, then they were cut so they would function without issue

I find #1 less likely because this would mean there would be some variance in the number of non-functional ROPs. And from what I understand, all the 5090s and 5080s that have this issue so far have the same number of missing ROPs. It's much more likely these chips therefore were cut to have less ROPs.

Any which way, the issue originated at TSMC, then was "missed" by nV in validation, then was "missed" by (multiple it seems now) AIBs in QC. My theory is nV caught these in validation, let them go to AIBs, then AIBs either intentionally disregarded QC results (on their own or under instructions from nV). The fact that there are reports of these issues across *both* 5080 and 5090, and across multiple AIBs points to an intent here i.e. someone knew about the issue, and much less probable, an endemic failure of validation and QC at multiple steps.

Imagine if AMD down this, they certainly wouldn't be getting a free pass as Nvidia seem to be.

Have a pair,but mostly for photography reasons.

Don't give AMD ideas!

Wasn't talking about you. Was 12gb nvidia man I was referring to

 

[kieran_read]

Everyones still at it then.... Only 4 more days!

 

[TNA]

Yes,so I paid less for a phone which is still decent.

I never said it wasn't decent? But for £35 extra the S24U is a superior deal

Google invented Android,so I get all the updates quicker anyway!

That mattered when Samsung used to be slow. Now not so much

A decent mATX B650 motherboard costs £105 and HUB verified it had excellent VRMs. You can even get a motherboard with an integrated Ryzen 9 7950X for under £380 with PCI-e 5.0!

Could have done indeed. I guess I just don't care for platform updates often. AM6 will bring a nice upgrade over what I have so decided will just wait for that.

Before upgrading to AM4 I had kept my Intel 4770K for around 7 years

So £699.98 then?

Don't blow a gasket.

Why would I be the one blowing a gasket? I am not the one stuck on a 3060Ti

 

[Nitefly]

@TNA just get on with ordering your 5070ti already!

Just waiting on AMD to price their cards low so Nvidia can lower theirs so I can buy it then bro

Haha. People will belive that too

I expect to see a receipt when your sig changes to a 5070ti in half a years time and you claim to have gotten it for 575
