No, developers as a whole don't use "tessy" like that any more. The problem with tessellation was that it was abused so much that objects and background scenes show no/to very little visible difference with it vs without it. With an unnecessary performance penalty. Which is why it's now into...

It actually is a magic button when the game it's used on is designed to take advantage of a certain uarch. Remember, these games aren't 100% RT. RT is implemented within a rasterized game. So how the game is code is just as important. Regardless if the game has additional ray tracing or not.

Start up a game and tab out to desktop Start HWInfo64 > Sensor Only > Start Scroll down to you see on the right column (Under your GPU): GPU PPT Limit Adjust your Power Limit to see how much power you are giving the video card. PPT = Package Power Tracking In all honesty it would be a nice...

Typical AMD Radeon GPU release. Per usual they scored the goal but it hit the goal post 1st before going in. :cry:

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/next-amd-video-engine-may-lack-av1 And there's this: Seems like the gpu/memory is the reason why the power consumption is up. Not sure why you need ramp up gpu/vram clocks to play a video. It's as if there is no VCN 4.X silicon. Or is this a driver bug and...

I am in no way defending w1z. But I check the forums and the summary and I don't see where he's rebuking the 7900 for the 4080. Can you point me to a source? Because I've read a few of your posts stating he is. The video playback power consumption is a bit of an oddity.

Not really :D

I am not sure how you should feel. Remember, this is MBA models. The AIB models with higher power limits will be faster. Not sure how much. At a guess at max OC somewhere between 15%-30% range. Unless someone with the card can chime in. But it will come at a higher price. But needless to...

This, so much this! That's why they are saying they are disappointed. They weren't buying the card to begin with. Now they are stuck with 4080 prices. Lets see how many jump on 4080's now! :cry:

This is what matters to me :D

sure it is. And it's cheaper if you get the MBA :cry:

Time Spy Extreme Looks like the time spy "leaked" benchmarks were FUD after all. :cry::cry:

LOL at people who thought that 7900 was a 4090 competitor when AMD said it was a 4080 competitor. :cry:

Yes, they did. They were able to increase the voltage to 1.2v. But that's a max voltage on air. It simply allowed voltages past 1.1v to be honest on air. 1.2v was reserved for watercooling to control the heat. The 6900xtxh was a hybrid xtx and 6950xt IMO. As some of them could allow for...

Rumor mill rumor mill To be clear it was rumored that the chip was much larger then what we are seeing announced. Whether or not that comes out next year is a different story. The 306 mm² size of the die is much smaller. Almost midrange like. I heard that the original die size was going to...

Hmm, rumor has it that when RDNA 3 is released it's going to be version 1 which is AMD version. Or better know as MBA (made by AMD). But they fixed whatever errata that the GPU has which includes higher clocks. And AIB variants will use the version 2. I say version 2 because I haven't read...

And this is the point being made. It's should be easy to to slide in the adapter into the connector until you hear a click. Anything less then that is a manufacturing defect/error and should be 100% recalled and removed from the market. Calling this defect user error and then proceeding to name...
