The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

The real question is, has it ****** off people enough that they are either boycotting the 3000 series or trying AMD to really vote using the wallet?

The issue is we have to see reviews and see how each SKU stacks up against Nvidia. But the problem here is AMD has kind of sandwiched itself between Nvidia SKUs IMHO. So it makes me wonder whether there is a bit of letting the current status quo stay the same going on,as neither really want much of a price war.

What, like OcUK getting ASUS TUF 3080 stock or hell even a whiff of info regarding it?

Sickening mate. I would buy it off you except you wouldnt do a BNPL lol.

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

From reading around the forums plenty of people going to be jumping ship and ordering an AMD card.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Those of us with 2080 Tis are in the fortunate position that we can wait. (As opposed to having to wait.) I'm going to be looking at the RX 6900 very closely but I'm not expecting to be able to purchase until 2021.

Yeah you at least are in the comfort knowing your card is better than the brand new 3070's, not many cards are 'much better'. Im on a vega56 so its a nice step up for my display.

Looks like we regressed back to figuring out how to beat console on load times.
For RDR 2 it's about 1:42 on a M.2 from starting the game to being in game moving the character around.

I wonder if there is a way for AMD to improve on ShaderCaching for Radeon.

--------------------------------------

no idea, maybe that site had an issue with their card - their 5700xt ran great at 1080p and 1440p and then dropped down to Gtx1070 performance at 4k and for the system ram - when the 5700xt was at 4k they recorded 2gb of extra system ram being used by the game compared to a 2080 (at 4k 5700xt was 8gb vram used and 6.5gb system ram used and 4K 2080 was 8gb vram used and 4.5gb system ram used)

Probably to show the fact that Take 2 will acquire Codemasters for almost a cool $1 Billion.
Not long ago Codemasters bought Slightly Mad Studios for $30 Million. And released Project Cars 3. A watered down version of Project Cars 1/2.
Now Take 2 will buy Codemasters. All I can say is whoaa?? Not sure were that leaves Dirt 5 and the more famous F1 Series.

Perhaps we will actually get good car driving physics in GTA 6. Actual cars and racing circuits as good as Project Cars

It's already figured out...

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directstorage-is-coming-to-pc/

^ that is what the XBox will be using and PS5 is probably similar but Sony's own take on it using AMD hardware.

It can't come soon enough.

I remember nVidia going on about RTX i/o in their presentations as a way for them to use directstorage (provided you've got an NVME) ... but it'll not get to devs until next year, so we won't be seeing it in games until 2022 ... I didn't see AMD talk about it at all, but maybe it's just a given...

Yep, Direct Storage is only coming out mid 2021 and then after that developers have to implement it. I don't know what the heck RTX IO is, probably just Nvidia trying rebrand Direct Storge but it's the same thing. Nvidia bragged about cause that's what Nvidia does, they hype up and sell you a GPU now but with features you can't use for 2 years

It's just them working with the directstorage stuff, not sure if it'd count as rebranding as they mention it.

Leveraging the advanced architecture of our new GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards, we’ve created NVIDIA RTX IO, a suite of technologies that enable rapid GPU-based loading and game asset decompression, accelerating I/O performance by up to 100x compared to hard drives and traditional storage APIs. When used with Microsoft’s new DirectStorage for Windows API, RTX IO offloads dozens of CPU cores’ worth of work to your GeForce RTX GPU, improving frame rates, enabling near-instantaneous game loading, and opening the door to a new era of large, incredibly detailed open world games.

I don't doubt the 6000 series is going to sell out. Same as Nvidia did. Thats not the question or IMO the concern.

The question and concern is, how quickly can they resupply to satisfy demand? thats where Nvidia ballsed up. Their production hadn't and still hasn't ramped up in any way enough to sort the thirsty demand out and these cards have been on release for close to 2 months?

Thats the mental part which shows they were just not ready and simply wanted to get ahead of AMD.

Both companies know a lot about each other’s products before the market does. NVIDIA wouldn’t have done this shoddy launch had they known AMD’s production was fully ramped to satisfy the demand.

Haha. He seems to be learning what’s what slowly. But still comes out with bizarre things at times

When are we finally going to get store product pages for navi?

None here in DK yet either on our etailers.

A realisation!

First he sacks off the 3090 love and turns his head to 6900XT as there 'were not many DLSS games'... now hes finally understanding the corporate greed greed machine and their proprietary bull.

He won’t go Navi I don’t think, DLSS is just too good, better than native apparently!

It's really that simple. Nitro cards tend to OC better and offer better cooling then most other AIB's. Typically they are priced reasonably. As a tier they are the highest Sapphire offers. Sapphire's Toxic sku is more of their mythical unicorn tier that is allegedly designed to beat Nvidia's offerings do to it's higher then normal OC'ability. We haven't seen Sapphire release a Toxic sku in years.

I'm sure I had a 290x Toxic but killed it with a bad psu!
