Here, posted it for you lol Now it just depends on when the 5090 is launching, for how much and with how much performance. Hopefully there's no envy/FOMO upon 5000 series release from the late 4090 buyers.

So I didn't actually watch/listen to the video in OP till today. According to the video the rumour states the following: Navi 48 Performance guess is between 7900XT and 7900XTX 300-350mm^2 die size 256-bit memory controller, 20Gbps GDDR6 predicted Navi 44 Performance guess ranges between...

Either there's a lot of folks out there willing to pay more for less performance or the potential customers clearly don't have a say in pricing. :rolleyes: I don't think anyone has had anything positive to say about GPU prices this gen. Going by that we should get price drops across the board...

I could swear a thread like this already existed... or perhaps I'm getting mixed up with countless similar threads that came before it? I don't think such a short window between will be likely, unless RDNA 4 & 5 target different market segments and slot in around each other. E.g. RDNA5 is...

That's perfectly fine, it's the same as my RAM (which has RGB denoted by the additional R on the end of the model number). It's especially good since it has a good 6000C30 EXPO profile, which is the sweet spot. And highly likely to be the top tier A-die DDR5 (mine is). I'm also using this...

For folk talking about <£700 7900XTs, the XFX Speedster Merc 310 has dropped down to £700 now. Still not as low as the £650 we saw last year, but better than £750 we were seeing a month ago.

Only next gen will tell, but it honestly desn't look good for AMD. Mid-range for next-gen should be where 7900xt(x)/4070ti/4080 is now. Heck, if this was back in the day, mid-range would be similar to previous gen's top dog, aka 4090. I remember the days when a £300 GTX 970 would compete with...

So a 4070ti priced to clear is £800 huh... I'd still rather get a 7900XT at that price. I've seen some initial pricing on 4070S starting at £580 for the cheapest AIBs. The majority of AIBs are £620+ (i.e. for better cooling, warranty, etc), unless those prices are temporary before 2pm. When a...

Boot time is due to memory training. There's a setting you need to change in the BIOS to sort it out. Need to turn on memory context restore. Power down enable should also be on and Fast Boot should be off. It will slow boot once and from then on it will boot at normal speeds unless you update...

Tbf Jensen looks up to Apple and wants to follow Apple's footsteps. Just imagine the day he charges a few hundred quid for a fancy backplate...

So AMD... Place your bets folks. I can see the 7900XT going sub £700 again and more 7800XTs going sub £500. *IF they want to not be thrashed by Jensen.

Because they want to charge £800+ for a 5070 and are making folks get used to such prices for an x70 card. Of course its just a big money making scheme. I wouldn't be surprised if it panned out like this within a couple of generations: x90 -£2k x80 - £1.5k x70 - £1k x60 - £500 We aren't even...

You'd be best off with something like a 7900xt or 4070ti SUPER to make sure FPS doesn't drop below 60 and to have enough VRAM (min 16gb) for 4k. Also keep in mind that the games will require more from the GPU for the same FPS in the future. So having a bit more performance will help to...

We wish... Now I'm interested to see what will happen to all the obsolete 4080s still selling above £1k

I've one has been on the ball the past few months, there was a moment where there was a 7900xt being sold for just that price. Might have been here on OCUK I think, Sapphire Pulse perhaps? Just check pricing history and it was. Few bits in July August and even in September.

PCIe5 is not worth it at the moment. The speed improvement over top PCIe4 drives is barely noticeable and more importantly, the flash NAND on PCIe5 drives run too hot, which can cause issues with data corruption, performance and such. At the moment, it seems like one must actively/sufficiently...

Always have the OS on a seperate drive with just the OS (and potentially the few software that prefer to run from C drive). Or at the very least on a seperate partition. This includes putting directories like My documents, pictures, etc on the other drive. May take a few extra minutes at the...

Rumoured release window is end of 2024, latest Feb 2025. Amount of perf gains over 4090 suspected to be not a big jump considering no competition from AMD at that performance level. Expect 5090 pricing to be closer to £2k RRP and 5080 just over £1k, with my guess around 4090 performance. But...

It's funny you say that. Since my 980ti died a few years back, I slowed down and stopped playing games on PC. The only significant bit of gaming I did last year was on my brother's Nintendo Switch when I borrowed it from him last year to play the new Zelda and dabbled in a couple oother titles...

For perspective, these charts from Tom's hardware shows what performance is currently available. Annoyingly the charts are a mix of both Rasterisation and RT, but surprisingly AMD GPUs aren't dragged down by much in this mixed set of benchmarks. Otherwise bump AMD up a bit and Nvidia down a bit...
