I take it lil Burkey wasn't around for the 8800 series?

You gather right, it's happened on asus cards and even the odd FE card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H9XeH8G_mM&ab_channel=NorthridgeFix

The current lack of a 7950 doesn't necessarily mean rdna 3 can't scale to 3ghz.

AMD claimed rdna3 was good for up to 3ghz so a 7950 was basically expected to show up around this point but never did. Seen a few posts on forums from around summer last year with expectations for it to pop up around January, but nothing to date. :cautious:

So has the reference card got a lower power limit or clocks? That's the one i was looking at as i like the reference design. Ed: apparently it runs at a lower power target.

Might pick one up depending on the UK price, its at a really weird price point where you can get a 7800xt for a bit less, or a bit more depending, and its not as if the GRE much faster, a few % at most, which some of the oc 7800's are at, or better.

Bit of a change from the xp-esque one that's been hanging around for the better part of 20 years now. Worth a try at some point i suppose.

Reading old reviews the nostalgia flows, looking at how comparatively small the old cards were 20+ years ago coupled with the bare bones cooling with tiny fans and heatsinks, vs the 10+ LB goliaths we have today with multiple slots being needed, multiple power connections needed etc.

Yeah, think I'll pass on paying $3500 to look like 1980's Randy Savage.

So more bollocks then more then likely. :oops:

Ahh ty

How is it he happened to have a camera secretly recording? Is this a known thing with tv repairs with repair people damaging the tv to get-out of warranty?

Ahh, the days of slot1\a cpu's in their own little cartridge type system. :cry:

At the time intel had basically written amd off as a competitor, the company was almost bankrupt during that period. NVidia are in a similar type of position in the sense they think they're basically untouchable considering the RT uplift they have over amd which is quite substantial. Time will...
