As a proud owner of a R9 390, FreeSync display and a custom watercooling loop I'd say the V7 is pretty impressive.
Does nVidia offer more performance, and better efficiency at a higher price?
Absolutely.
Do they have a total dick as a CEO?
Absolutely.
Do I care about PR of companies I buy...
You're going at this from the wrong perspective.
Large AAA publishers and devs care mostly about revenue, if the number of sales doesn't deviate much Epic will win simply by taking a smaller cut.
Once you're talking millions in net sales the choice of store becomes a simple math exercise.
And...
I've been a Chrome user for quite a while ever since I switched from Firefox and Opera before that.
Opera kinda fell apart back in the day, Firefox got really bloaty, hence the switch to Chrome, and now I've switched to Vivaldi for it's customisation options.
While I can see the need for...
Whoops my bad, I guess my reading skills are declining.
Edit: are they implying Huawei products made in the US? Because I couldn't find any U.S.-origin products from Huawei as all of their U.S. property seems related to sales, customer service and marketing.
I don't want to stop your groove here but a chinese executive get's arrested for selling chinese products to Iran which goes against US sanctions.
Also, the US really doesn't have much leverage on China unless they want to start WW III.
I agree that China is into some shady stuff but I'm...
Going to depend on what game ships with it I guess.
Given that it's some new holy grail tech I'm pretty sure crackers will go nuts, gonna laugh real hard if it's bypassed in a couple of days.
I used to pirate games before the easy return policy on Steam, after demos went away I just didn't want...
The issue is that people arguably won't visit newspaper websites and instead just read the snippets from Google News, thus cutting into the profit from said newspapers.
I call bullshit on that but I'm swiss so I hope the EU trainwreck finally dies and we survive.
Given there's no 1050/1060 equivalent RTX card I'd argue it's DOA for now.
Raytracing is a feature for the top 10-15% (maybe even less).
Yes it's nice and everything but it costs money to implement and a large part of your customers wont even be able to turn it on and given the teasers it will...
I'm not an expert by any meassure but I'm pretty sure that most non-gaming software can profit heavily from just throwing more cores at it.
The other thing is when it comes to gaming, how much more singlethreaded performance do we need?
When will GPUs start to level out?
Yes you might see some...
Well graphics cards don't usually explode in your face if you screw something up badly at manufacturing.
To be sure you'd have to boot up every GPU, get the drivers loaded up and start a game, that would take a lot of time even if it's automated and it's probably usually cheaper to just replace...
I really wish they'd show some pictures of that connector/chip.
I realise that the chip embedded in the PCB would be hard to show off but an unusual Ethernet connector should be easy.
Can't find a reason not to disclose some hard facts unless there are none.
0/10 - still not buying it. Third...
Pretty sure nVidia will do their best to ensure devs of major titles choose DLSS.
Added benefit is that it's proprietary tech that could hurt AMD a whole lot more than HairWorks did.
Hell we could even end up with AAA games not being playable at 4k/60 on AMD cards because the lack of DLSS giving...
