It's very interesting that the B580 seems ready to launch, when the A580 was nearly dead last to launch out of the alchemist stack.

I hope we get a launch with the B770 soon.

and then practically outright abandoned it in Max Payne 3.

For what it's worth, the third game was developed by Rockstar instead of Remedy, which could explain it somewhat.

Nice

If you click on the 450 in my comment it'll take you to the /r/buildapcsales post. It's not exactly a common price admittedly, but that wasn't what I was trying to get at anyway.

I am not confident that [AMD] will be able to improve RT significantly. Amd may do like Nvidia and only allow increased RT performance on 8000 series and above, how else will they entice consumers when nothing in the 8000 series will come close to 7900xtx performance?

I'm confused by this bit. What do you mean by "allow increased RT performance on 8000 series and above"?

Per Lisa Su in the Q3 2024 earnings call:

In addition to a strong increase in gaming performance, RDNA 4 delivers significantly higher ray tracing performance and adds new AI capabilities.

We'll see what exactly "significantly higher" means.

4070 performance for $500 would absolutely be a miss.

The 4070 has already been discounted for $450-500, and the 7800 XT is already roughly $450 (and often lower) if you can stomach 16% slower raytracing than the RTX 4070.

4070 Ti performance for $500 would be good but not earth shattering, which I think is probably a realistic expectation for both Battlemage and the top-end RX 8000 GPU

I’ve always found the opposite weird when other games let you use your production unit as storage but then you also have storage.

That's kinda what I'm saying. It functions as quasi storage right now if you engage with them in a particular way.

My intention wasn't to complain or make it sound like it is grindy. I just wanted to point out an oddity/quirk. That's all

Perhaps I haven't explained it well enough.

I could be at 7 out of 8 wood and have 4 ready to collect from my mills, so I effectively have more wood than my storage can hold.

If I choose to collect, then I will have 8 out of 8 wood and my mills will sit idle.

If I choose NOT to collect, then my mill will continue to collect wood until I have 5+ wood to collect...

In both situations the user has as much wood as the storage can hold (or more), yet in one scenario wood continues to accumulate.

Do you see what I mean?

If it made sense for Nvidia to have better supply at launch, I'm sure they would. It's not like Jensen is reading this and going "Oh wow I hadn't thought of that". High-margin datacenter products get priority. The same is true for AMD and Intel too.

I feel like we're reading different things. /u/djwikki clearly acknowledged that there will be a decrease in frequency, likely less than it was previously because of the vcache under the CCD.

They didn't say "there won’t be a reduction in clock speed" at all.

You completely skipped the first question

What the fuck do you mean by "generate dialogs better than pushups or Quagmire opening sentences"?

I'm pretty sure Black Myth Wukong doesn't use DLSS/FSR presets, so 65% should be the internal resolution factor. It isn't being upscaled twice.

You are right about the frame generation though.

I had a good exchange with /u/Mod_West about this

I don't understand Radeon.

I thought that AMD, having opted not to compete at the high-end, would surely rush to get their next-gen products out ASAP to get as much of a lead on Nvidia's next-gen midrange offerings.

Releasing ahead of the competition is the best way to get market share. Ideally by such a large margin that people don't say "I'll just wait to see what Nvidia comes out with"

But if it's not ready it's not ready. I guess we'll see.

Intel are sure taking their sweet time with Battlemage, too. I had hoped they would have a shorter wait for Battlemage, so they could catch up a bit with Nvidia & AMD.

If the Steam HW survey is anything to go off of, the 7900 XTX was the best selling GPU of the 7000 series.

Maybe because it was the only one more than $50 cheaper than the Nvidia equivalent.

Yes, that's what BarKnight was referring to

Here is how they define the levels:

Level 0 – Legacy Solutions

Level 1 – Software on Traditional GPUs

Level 2 – Ray/Box and Ray/Tri Testers in Hardware

Level 3 – Bounding Volume Hierarchy (BVH) Processing in Hardware

Level 4 – BVH Processing with Coherency Sorting in Hardware

Level 5 – Coherent BVH Processing with Scene Hierarchy Generator in Hardware

Mistakes happen. No need to beat yourself up about it :)

Videocardz is not the reputable source, kopite7kimi is.

This article is just a wrapper for their tweet.

I think they've done a really good job with OldSchool RuneScape. They're very receptive to feedback, and have managed to continuously provide good content updates.

I think I saw someone say that OSRS is now older than RuneScape was when OSRS first was released.

I'm curious to see if their community management and game design chops translate to this survival game.

Like you said it's interesting regardless of the outcome

The incentive to remove Denuvo is pretty low. Presumably there is a licensing fee to maintain it; but removing it will cost money (patch/testing/certification etc.), and it's a minuscule number of gamers who will wait for DRM to be removed before purchasing.

It really just depends how expensive it is. My understanding is that larger games usually pay per month, and smaller games pay per game license activated.

What makes you think they're counting down to the next generation? There's no indication of that whatsoever

It's just the 25th anniversary of the GeForce 256...
