I think many (not all) gamer type people have a fear of the unknown when it comes to Macs. Because they've spent in some cases decades getting to know Windows exclusively, and know zero about MacOS concepts and how to use that OS effectively.

XBSX is going to make a complete mockery of PC's value-for-money

Those lot are obsessed with boat/spaceship hybrids. Nice quick benchmark to run. OcUK Birthday bargain RX590 scores ~4900 on either Vulkan or DX12.

Got mine too. It's funny after handling gigantic Sapphire Nitro+ Vega cards, a normal 2-fan 2-slot card now seems like a wee thing. In Radeon settings, remember to change the Power Limit from 0% to +50%, so that the card can make use of all 225W available to it when it wants to sustain high clocks.

Microsoft could totally demolish this tension if any game bought from them digitally could be played on either Xbox and PC at no extra cost.

Looks to be sold out now. Early bird gets the Polaris

Cheers Gibbo, just nabbed one. Me too in Scotland. This thread is officially targeted at "moaners" so of course we'll have a whinge :p

Yeah, the PS1 had dodgy 3D because it did not do perspective-correct texture mapping. Textures were always "twitching" as the view moved, and there were often other issues like there being visible seams between polygons. Lots of fun games of course, but pretty grim 3D rendering even compared to...

If only the Series X could be "jailbroken" and turned into a normal PC!

My Vega64 from 2017 has 12.7 TFLOPs. Shame it can't channel them into gaming properly :p

Obviously Fury owned him, but it was not that satisfying to watch due to dragging on because Fury still lacked the power to land an actual knockout.

I miss when entering a competition didn't involve grovelling by doing a retweet or whatever :(

Well RX590 was RX580-meets-12nm and they didn't contort the name into Radeon XII

Makes me think of TVs on display in high street shops. Colour vibrancy artificially cranked up to maximum = fools the brain into thinking it's better.

It's a bit annoying that the "VII" in Radeon VII is pronounced "seven", when in reality it means "Vega 2" :p

I think they just put wishful thinking entries in their database, to get some views on their banner ads.

This place is more like an economics forum than a technology forum. Dear boy, if you want to read half-baked armchair economist theories over and over, then the OcUK CPU and Graphics sections are the place for you! :o

Leaks point to the Navi GPU in upcoming Xbox Series X being significantly beefier than the 5700XT (40CU): https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-playstation-5-xbox-series-x-spec-leak-analysed

Smart money is buy a discounted 590 now, then in a few years buy a discounted RDNA 2.0 card. Surf the wave behind the whales that overpay :p

Polaris surely has to be considered a legendary architecture given the length of time it's hung around and remained relevant
