Shite! That is all.

Looks like hbm alongside the die in the image.

OP, how'd that rambling first post work out for you?

Same here, there was something different about going and buying the game, opening it and installing vs just digital. Suppose its the physical aspect of the and box and discs we miss where you could see where your money went, vs a download.

Sort of reminds me of the pentium 4 days, only intel were on the backfoot with both power and performance, hoping to claw back performance by pumping the clocks up.

Same

Id be surprised if it gets used for more than porn and pong. :p

Why would you want 4 cards? Unless you're into specific rendering or modelling 3 of them will be sitting with their thumbs up their arse...figuratively speaking that is.

Yup, shrinking stuff back then was pretty easy, we had new high end gpus more frequently vs today where the limits are being reached.

Its listed on a few gaming sites, though can't seem to find it listed on the publishers site.

Cash up front for a loan of the card, or ideally tell them to fuck right off. Preferably the latter.

The patch had this listed as being in it: Fixes to game crashing issues. Address the stuttering and lag issues. Add gameplay adjustments and optimizations. Add general stability fixes. Add performance improvements. Other minor fixes. Seems this game needs a lot of work still.

Great, they send it to Linus so he can do his party piece and drop it.

It still took around 12+ years until we essentially got anti aliasing for "free" from its introduction. It seemed like every other gpu release for amd/nvidia in that time period we were getting new variations of it promising less of a performance hit for better visuals. This is more of the...

Always fun seeing performance comparisons using a game that clearly has issues needing resolved. The patch for this game which listed performance improvements was only released on Friday, this article is from Friday and the linked benchmarks are from the 7th/9th so they're using the pre-patch...

What game could live up to the hype with how long that thing was in development? Would have been a virtual impossibility. Even the supposed finished product smacked of a game that had a bunch of barely finished levels that they just stitched together so they could kick it out the door. I...

If its not big enough to need to be contained by a Kevlar reinforced bikini then its too small, especially where anime characters are concerned.

It got even more cheesy, on opening the box you also got this:

XFX And their dog...thingy and gimmicky shaped box.

Companies finally clued in they weren't trying to appeal to horny 13 year old.

If only I had 13k or so knocking around doing nothing in particular. :cry: Always wanted one of these cards since seeing the dummy board they showed at Comdex 99.

Shocks me the execs are getting a cut as well, usually those fuckers are the last in line to get any form of cut.

Anyone remember the old xfx box with the gimmicky shape and included warning on it? my 6800gt and box: Doesn't even seem that long ago, but it was almost 20 years ago. :cry:

Probably a 3 grand card, minimum. (assuming it ever comes out)

I feel like we've been badly misled :cry:

Dunno why they just didn't go with 3 regular 8 pin pcie connectors and be done with it. Its not as if they couldn't have went that route, they probably didn't like the optics of a card requiring 3 8 pins (which make it look like a power hog from an outward appearance) so decided to go with one...

Yet over on the ocuk forums some people were arguing blind that there was a correlation between the drivers and the cards failing. Yet when asked why only x amount of cards in a single country were affected and nowhere else on the planet, that point got glossed over. Yup... :rolleyes: It...

The 6000 series story utterly reeks of bs, 60+ cards all at the same repair store all in the same country. And according to some tweets, the pcb's show signs of possible heatgun use.

Or people just making shit up, which is usually the case as they start backtracking when actual plausible information comes around.

Vega was relatively decent in the long run, but the promo video amd did for it really made it out to be a card that basically annihilated anything nvidia had.

Could that possibly be because AMD were almost bankrupt several times in the last decade and they dedicated the bulk of their resources to developing a new line of cpu while the gpu division for the most part had to make do with whatever they could cobble together? I mean wasn't Vega...

Well if you take the fanboys opinions into account every site seems to flip flop depending on what "sides" gpu gets a good review. It really was comical back in the day as I'm sure you remember, an ati card gets a good review, hardocp are ati fanboys, then the same shouts from the other "side"...

Family first for sure!

Think its a bit late for that now, hard to get traction on YouTube with the myriad of "tech channels" on it these days. Still find it utterly baffling how fucking Linus of all people managed to get top spot in the tech channel world. He does some good vids but the cringe factor in most of them...

https://www.youtube.com/@HardOCPTV/videos Never went full YouTube video review mode but some content is on there. I miss the hardocp reviews for all tech related things, this site was my first port of call from around 1999 (I think) onwards for reviews.

It's borderline amusing reading some of the theories knocking about online about this, the mental gymnastics on display is amazing. I've even seen one guy claim people are buying 4090's and are pissed off at the high price, so they're staging the issues with these cables as a "fuck you" to...

Nvidias video on the 4090 did say "limited" founders edition: Says it more or less at the start here and at least one other time, so seems it wasn't a mistake.

Camping outside for a gpu, fuck that :LOL:

Considering AMD were teetering on the verge of bankruptcy a few times in the last 10 or so years i doubt they will be dumb enough to rest on their laurels quite so easily.

And yet, intel are still hotter.
