nvidia's drivers are far more buggy than AMD drivers and Radeon Settings is far and above a better UI than nvidia's stuff.

On price/perf alone the 2700 XT and 2700 are the card to purchase if looking to spend $450 or $349. Only the fanbois are going to think: well i'd like to spend $450 but I guess i can spend an extra $50 and get lower performance. If there needs to be any other reason, there are plenty like...

No need to compare it to anything. The added bloat is another nvidia tax on their already overpriced cards. If raytracing was usable without tanking performance then an argument could be made to how useful the implementation was. I guess. But as it stands the ballooning of the die is something...

I would wager that customers don't appreciate having to foot the bill for their prototype experiment and bloated die, nor have i witnessed very many at all advocating from the CEO's pov rather than the consumers. Yes, "they" got the best of both worlds, that doesn't translate at all to the...

I think everyone agrees that adding 50% bloat to the die with next to 0 return for the end user for their money is a brutal design choice. If/when the time is right, I think AMD's implementation will be more elegant and efficient. Maybe some sort of CPU/GPU hybrid approach?

Well ok, but i would have thought all that was rather obvious. So about the same as nvidia saying X architecture is 10x faster than Y architecture. I hope this isn't cementing the notion that people need to be spoon fed information in one direction or another to analyze these kinds of things. It...

I'm not sure i understand. Is the premise that AMD should show their worst case scenario? Does this hold true for all other companies?

Doesn't look like much of a killer, there are still tons of 580s and 590s being sold.

Vote to have this thread pinned? I'm trying to remember the last time a review on a major release wasn't pinned but i'm coming up empty.

Of course AMD will support DXR, it's probably been on their roadmap for years since they work very closely with Microsoft. But it looks like they have the right strategy, instead of what Nv attempted by ballooning the die size and breaking the backs and banks of gamers. The hubris of Huang and...

No RTX features. lol. Nv fans are sure hanging their hat on something that appears to be a flop. I'd actually call having no RTX features a plus at this point, it ballooned the die, skyrocketed the price and has zero benefit to the end user while currently implemented in a single game with less...

That's quite the word play there. First you pick a sky high number out of thin air and then use it as a comparison? Is there any credible source stating that 16GB of HBM2 runs 350 bucks? There is no chance it costs anywhere near that. Simple economics supports that, because nobody would use it...

Can't happen, their margins will tank. They released way to large of a die for the consumer market. They said, "hey, you want ray tracing? you have to pay this huge premium we have to charge due to our die size" and i doubt many are willing to fork out that premium for some bling in their games...

I think the ray tracing effects are unrealistic and tacky, and a waste of resources. Resources for which the consumers heavily pays the price for. The water in FarCry 5 for example looks much better than any demos we've seen from ray tracing so far, without the need to spend $1200 and 100's of...

I mean, wasn't it obvious that this kind of thing would happen when goldman faps signed an agreement with nv? That was when their stock started becoming ridiculously over valued, and nvidia being friends with the scum bags on wallstreet also started acting like they were above the law. And there...

How many times has intel failed in making a decent graphics chip/video card again? Just save the money intel, and continue to buy the good parts from your competitors...

It should never hit the front page because it is just a bunch of lies from a bunch of liars. novideo isn't going to drop Gpp, they're just renaming it, making some tweaks and will rebrand it to avoid litigation.

Looks like AMD caught intel completely off guard with Zen and they don't feel their roadmap is good enough anymore. They'll have at least 4 years before anything comes out of whatever they are changing. AMD will be on their next gen by then. All is not well at intel.

Correction, the problem is on the intel side, not the intel side of their testing. Intel's hardware and platform is a mess, it's their fault and their problem that their hardware is full of glitches and bugs and can't cope with everyday computing that is expected of it.

How does the L3 latency and memory bandwidth compare?

Moved on hey? Sounds like a great opportunity to hang nvdia with a sticky meme. Are they telling us to move on to moveon.org?

How is this news exactly? Stocks get upgraded and downgraded all the time, all giving it exposure does is give those fucking maggot lizzards more power to continue this detrimental practice of control. It's a fucking sham scam. Who fucking cares what they think. First of all, the financial...

Looks good. Seems a better refresh than what we've seen from others.

Yeah it explains that 81 percent of a predominatly nvidia troll site support sending a fuck you message to nvidia.

Sorry, 81-19 https://wccftech.com/nvidia-gpp-ignites-uproar-calls-for-boycott-among-pc-gamers/

One poll supports a boycott by 80%-20% and that place is full of nvidia trolls, that says a lot.

Well it's kind of expected, Nvidia have historically had problems calculating 4 and 3.5.

That sub is always heavily censored and the AMD sub is filled with nvidia trolls with seemingly free reign. Here is another article on the topic. Someone brought up the Flounders Edition cards/program started last year being a precursor for things to come. I never thought of that or connected...

AFAIC it's probably better for the industry if motheboard makers are shut out of making any GPUs all together. They never used to make them, then they muscled their way in at the expense of the existing specialized graphics card manufacturers. There are plenty of board partners on both sides to...

Admittedly I missed it in the other section, but that doesn't negate the fact that it is drawing nowhere near the attention it would if it weren't nvidia. Yes astroturfing is very real, and financial institutions are a major benefactor, as are the companies involved. But you already know all...

Actually i have a choice to use nv cards or AMD cards, I own the latter and am very satisfied with it. But this major flaw in the Volta silicon may explain why they are all over the roadmap with their code names and architectures. Poor Volta?? It's funny, if this report were about an AMD card...

News hitting the web now suggest that Volta has flaws in silicon and can't produce predicable, accurate or reliable precision math. WOW. That's not good. 2 + 2 = 4, er, 4.1, no, 4.3... Nvidia's Titan V GPUs spit out 'wrong answers' in scientific simulations Fine for gaming, not so much for...

True. So it's basically missing the prestige, which is associated with the Ferrari name, which is accomplished through branding/image.

What would sell better, a $400,000 Ferrari or a $400,000 Ferrari without the Ferrari emblem, branding and without any reference or marketing that it is a Ferrari?

This is all very reminiscent of when intel was forcing motherboard makers to ship AMD boards in non descriptive, white boxes. I guess nvidia is at that level of low now, but when they take their shit for granted, it might just turn around and bite them in the ass.

One day to post concrete proof that AMD lied, or correct your post....

Ah here we go. HBCC in action.

What, really?? Did you just plug your ears and go "lalalala i can't hear you! I'm just going to go ahead and start a new narrative that fits my agenda!" She said exactly the opposite, that she is not banking on consumers using GPUs for coin mining, and that it is a very small part of the...

You also get gimped PCIe and gimped AVX as an added bonus/feature. Sounds like a win-win! Is this new intel socket a dead end for next gen, or does intel usually provide backward/forward compatibility for the privilege of spending more money for their platforms?

Well i refuse to believe that anyone on this or any other tech forum is stupid enough to think that layout illustration is actually a die shot. So if not stupid then trolling?
