Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

PowerColor Reaper on Amazon comes on and off for $599. I am trying to get one since the launch day as its dimensions are so friendly for my SFF case but Amazon absolutely gets flooded by bots when any 9070 becomes available. The closest I have been to buying Reaper is seeing the 'Add to Cart'...

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

I have an RDNA3 in 7800XT and am quite looking forward to getting 9070XT which finally brings good raster and RT performance at $600 level. In TechPowerUp performance reviews, the Sapphire Nitro version is less than 5% below 4080 and 7900XTX at 4K. Technically, the new architecture is exciting...

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

You have been posting non-stop drivels for a while, but at least you make the point (however nonsensical) succinctly and in quite a confident manner, like you have just gotten up from an AMD board meeting. Bringing R300 into this discussion of halo-cards is quite idiotic, as if that single slot...

Question Hyped for the 9070XT

If I can find it for under $650, I'll likely buy it, assuming the performance level is somewhere near 7900XTX. I have a 7800XT currently.

Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

Yes, I expect such a card to have at least 16GB of RAM. My 7800XT has worked really well, and especially for the price I got it at release. I'll definitely pick up 9070XT if it's priced close to (or little more than) 7800XT levels, assuming that the rumored performance benchmarks are correct.

4070TI reviews thread

FSR works really well and I dont think there's any big difference between FSR2 and DLSS. I haven't checked DLSS3 articles. In any case my point was about RSR as well which is a great technology and doesn't require anything that needs to be adopted. It works on any DX11 and higher game in...

4070TI reviews thread

AMD's FSR works really well, and I use it all the time on 6700XT and even 5700XT. In addition, the drivers have added a new resolution upscaling method (not sure what it's called, RSR?), where you just enable it in the drivers, and then if you reduce game-resolution, the driver does the...

Question are video card prices headed down yet?

There's a 6800XT for about $570 on Newegg after $20 mail in rebate. I saw a $399 6700XT recently at Best Buy.

Discussion AMD raytracing - will it ever improve or even beat RTX?

This is regarding Guardians of the Galaxy, and yes it looks and performs wonderfully well with raytracing on even on the 6700XT I am running it at. I use 4K with FSR, so the internal resolution is around 2560x1440. The game itself is also pretty good. Highly recommended! It's available on PC...

Question GPU pricing should clearly be higher across the board, but by how much?

Right now, the prices are solely determined by miners and they are gobbling up almost all the graphic cards. That's the reason why 5700XT is selling for more than 6700XT on NewEgg. 6700XT is clearly better in gaming, but has comparatively lower Ehtereum mining efficiency.

Question How fast will the 3080Ti sell out?

I saw an eBay listing for a lot of 100 3700 Founder Edition cards and from a legitimate seller. Asking price is $150,000. We really have no chance until Ethereum cools down (unfortunately it's hitting peak price every day this week).

Question Do you think GPU stock/prices will get back to normal before end of the year?

This happened around the same time as Ethereum prices shot up. Used 580s are selling for $300-350 these days. This madness will only end when Ethereum falls back below $500 (hopefully soon), or when the difficulty of mining increases threefold at current price level (which may take longer).

Bitcoin Losses Near $200 Billion As JPMorgan Warns It’s The ‘Least Reliable’ Dollar Hedge

Not just for high end cards as even RX 580 and RX 570 are offered for $800-1200 at NewEgg and Amazon. It's quite crazy and hopefully the fall in Ethereum price will be so drastic that all these GPU buyers will never try this again. Before this run started in October, the previous peak was in...

AMD Vega builders thread - rx 64 & rx 56

Unless, you plan to use VRR (variable refresh rate) over HDMI 2.1, which new TVs will increasingly support, and in which case AMD Vega cards have the edge. The HDMI VRR spec is based on DisplayPort AdaptiveSync technology, which the upcoming drivers should support on Polaris/Vega cards, if they...

Upgrading from AMD 7950

If you are in US, I recommend Rx570 8GB or Rx580 8GB, which you can find for around $260-270. These are substantial improvements over 7950. In some cases, my Rx 470 8GB performs at the same level as 7950 crossfire, with much less heat and noise. It even performs at decent level for 4K...
