    Intels XE 2020 desktop GPU hardware preview

    An article that says it's supposed to be out this year and is making good progress even though it's using 7nm Intel which Intel have delayed to at least 2023. Test chips and production chips are very different things. There has already been plenty of talk about outsourcing and recent rumours...

    Intels XE 2020 desktop GPU hardware preview

    It's difficult to know just what they are hiding, manufacturing woes of the node itself, of the chip itself, or the performance and architecture being bad by locking it only to OEM systems. It will be more clear later on if the OEM systems it comes out in are rather like the first 10nm chips...

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    I literally didn't say the 6900xt was better value, in fact I said specifically that it was worse, but that the inflation on the RRP is lower, nothing more or less. Being the cheapest available right this second doesn't make it a good deal and it seems everyone agrees because if they weren't...

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    It is a terrible deal. Not that they are in stock but the 6800xt AMD version was basically £580-600 depending on exchange rate, the damn XT. £700 for the non XT version of the card? Even the Nitro edition reviews basically say that despite the increased clocks performance was identical to the...

    Sakhir Grand Prix 2020, Sakhir - Race 16/17

    He has the second fastest car, even if he didn't beat Bottas he should be finishing most races on the podium. He's offered little to no challenge so far this year because in large part his car isn't capable of it so there is simply nothing to compare him to Hamilton with. The gaps to Hamilton...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Literally who cares about 8k at all? Literally 5 users in the world will try gaming at 8k, anyone designing a card to aim at those users is throwing money away. More over, only a small percentage of people even game at 4k. On consoles more people game at 4k than on PC because 4k pc monitors...

    GPU prices in the UK

    Yup, products just as in demand and just as limited availability throughout the past several decades and apparently forever before that (that I had no experience of) RRP was basically the max price you'd pay. Over time as you start competing for sales and clearing out stock the price drops below...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    I mean literally every other store in the world will charge you when shipping said item so OCUK could you know actually move to a non ridiculous method of taking preorders, but they could have e-mailed what was pretty much say 1000 people and say you were XXX in the list of orders that failed...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    I mean I got the email, it straight up says we're refunding you. No you're on a list, no we're expecting cards in two weeks and you might get one then just boom, look out for the AIBs in a week. If there were more cards coming our orders would have gone into preorder. Instead not only OCUK but...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    People aren't getting it. Supply being low doesn't change anything, these cards would have gone on back order, not cancelled. Cancelled just means there is literally no more cards. All this means is reference which is a great card is only out a week before custom and unlike Nvidia who angered...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    The main thing to focus on is a card that only uses 210W will be easier to cool and potentially have more overclocking headroom when tweaked and played with or under water. More importantly though at 300W Nvidia making a newer faster bigger card on the same node seems less likely while 50-80W...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Yup, just got the you're ****** email too. Also sounds like as others have been implying, this isn't low stock of the reference card as much as it's straight up limited edition. They said refund in process and no indication of any list. they get what they got and there are no more reference...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    You realise you keep talking about RT like any usage of it will be at huge levels that will hurt AMD badly. You realise the move for people to patch games is that consoles are getting RT> The existing games were all Nvidia dev games where they pushed to add RT targetted at their hardware. Most...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Yup, this is why in general I stopped using OCUK years ago and try to buy elsewhere. I can't at all remember the last time OCUK was competitive on price. I do wish AMD went around saying any retailers who price above the stated price from them doesn't get stock for the next launch. Retailers...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    If you're buying a £1000 gpu and are bottlenecked you're doing it wrong. More over no one should buy a 6900xt anyway for the most part because it's 50% more for 10% more performance same way a 3090 is a joke of a card 125% more is it for 10% more performance. The reality is anyone peeing money...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Presumably the fact that people investing in bots and buying up stock to scalp will be less interested in doing so if the card might not be that high demand? The fact that if reviews show it to be really competitive it will encourage more people than normal to try to scalp them? Yes blind...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Because they are near identical and replaced a commonly used term everyone understood with a new one that made very little difference. It mostly extended the time available to send stuff back from 7 to 14 days by law iirc. It's a basically interchangeable term that really refer to the same basic...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    You do realise that ordering a card isn't final, that makes absolutely no sense. If you order a card and read a review that would change your mind on the purchase you can... change your mind on a purchase. either cancelling the order or sending it back for £5. No one is going to spend what...

    The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

    Do people really believe this nonsense? It's like calling a Vega 64 a 4k card while a Vega 56 is a 1440p card. They are literally the same core, even if you doubled the memory on the Vega 64 it doesn't change that it's got 10% more raw performance and can not in any way run a full resolution...
