I struggle paying over $250 for a video card. I was hoping to get better 1440p gaming as I bought 144hz monitor this year. Guess I'll stick with the used Vega 56 I bought for a bit over $200 a year ago. Last new video card I bought was an RX480 8gb for $240.

I am pretty disappointed in this move by AMD if it is true.

Still have my PS2 I bought in 2002. Sadly, just recently the DVD-Rom drive died.

I backed all my PS1 and PS2 discs onto my NAS. The Linux PS4, does it still play PS4 games?

I doubt it also. Not only that, but the PS Now is where a lot of the PS3 games are. Cut into their subscriptions.

I always liked buying the game discs. So I have something physical.

If the PS5 can do backwards compatibility all the way back to the PS1, I would definitely consider it. I still have all my games from all my Playstations.

I just hope they end up a better value than the 2000 series.

I agree it is a good gaming CPU. I just don’t think it is good value. $339 for the 3800X vs $396 for the 9700K.

Here are some comparisons with different video cards as the settings quality goes up and the graphics card goes down, the numbers even out. This is also where I think spending less on a processor and more on a video card would be beneficial.

All of those are 1080p Low settings. What were the differences on medium and high? What GPU was used?

Totally agree there. If you have to have absolute best frame rates, you’re shelling out the money for best performance bar none.

Yes, the 9700K is 5-10% faster in games. That is really the only thing it is better in. The 3800x is cheaper and it comes with a cooler. I agree you shouldn’t discount games, but overall, the 3800x seems to be the better processor. Besides, if l was buying a processor strictly for gaming right...

The 3800X and 9700k are both $399 MSRP. I assume that is why they compared those two processors. The are both 7 class parts(i7/R7). The i9 9900k is $539 MSRP. I do agree though, the article is written poorly.

Wait? You have to go to the command line to fix the issue?

125W TDP. Can’t wait to see actual power consumption.

Sadly, I bought my switch because of BotW. I can't think of a game that would cause my to want to upgrade to a newer one. Zelda games were usually the driving force for me to buy systems.

Sad to see how bad this is reviewed. Blizzard isn't what it used to be.

I don't feel Breath of the Wild plays like a Zelda game. I was very disappointed in it. To me, it was very boring. I agree it was the worst Zelda game.

Ha. I was just typing that...

I didn’t really buy that theory anyway. wonder if big Navi will be announced in March and that is now why Nvidia is going to announce Ampere. edit for spelling

They’ve been selling half finished games for years. Difference is the mod community can’t fix this one.

They are using the 24 CU parts for Apple. They are just using the defective parts that need to be cut down for the 5500 series. They may as well just keep producing the RX 500 series and leave the 7 nm parts for the CPUs. I’m just disappointed that 4 years later and price to performance...

It is sad. I’ve had an RX 480 8GB for 3 years or so. Don’t need to own basically the same card again for almost the same price. Really disappointed in this launch.

Desktop Environment

I wouldn't suggest Gnome for someone coming directly from Windows 7. I would suggests Cinnamon or xfce. The familiarity of the start menu on those would help the transition a bit easier.

Manjaro has been great. Took a little bit to get my laptop going with Optimus but I have been very happy with it. Actually replaced Mint with Manjaro.

I actually went to fully using Linux about 6 months ago. Lutris and Proton are huge game changers for gaming.

This 5 year NDA is too vague. I’d rather see an NDA that is specific to these cards. And have dates of when information and performance numbers can be released.

Unless they tell him about a program like GPP. Then he is bound by the NDA he signed as it is CI they provided.

I voted no. I would rather see a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of the cards to get an honest review without any strings. And I ended up finding this site because of his reporting on GPP.
