A 320-bit 5080 with 20GB sure would be nice for peace of mind and future proofing for the next 3+ years in my eyes. I'm really hoping for something like that to eventuate at a price similar to current 4080 Super.

If 5080 ends up being more like the 3080, ie larger chip with a wider bus and 20GB VRAM I think $999 would be a fair price in a years time or less. If it doesn't move the needle on those metrics, then it's personally unappealing to me unless priced a fair bit lower.

AMD really need a hardware based approach to compete properly with DLSS at this stage. Although Qualcomm and Samsung have no standing in the desktop PC space, going forward the mobile and desktop gaming segments are likely to overlap further - so having a solution that is dependent on specific...

If they release a 8800XT that performs like a 7900XTX but at lower power draw and price that will be ok, but doesn't give a real upgrade option for people who bought high end RDNA2 parts or entice those who bought nvidia 30 series 3080 or above or 40 series 4070 or above. People who have...

If the speculation thread is for the architecture/family, it should be a fair while before it was locked anyway given the heavily staggered launches that are the norm now. On this topic there is always going to be some speculation about what product x's price, performance etc will mean for...

I agree with this. The obvious caveat is the SNR ratio of the posts themselves. If people follow the posting guidelines, the megathread format is personally preferable to having separate threads with too much overlap.

The TPU quote you've chosen contradicts your initial point... On topic HUB have been taking all of the above factors into their conclusions for both the 4060Ti and 7600.

Good to know. For me that does make the 7900X3D an odd product. You're basically getting a 6 core CPU for gaming for more money than the 8 core. It's been proven again and again that in current games 6 fast cores is plenty, but I still can't help but wonder if this could change at some point in...

I've experienced some huge frame drops in GT7 on my PS5. The most noticeable was when using very fast cars on the Tokyo express 600 event at a particular corner but none the less. If it's a restriction to say races of 12 cars or less that would rule out a lot of the campaign. Hopefully it was...

Yes exactly. The 12 and 16 core variants will have to make use of the one CCD for gaming with the only difference between SKU's being default boost clocks. I wonder if that would mean that the 7900X3D would have to have one fully enabled 8 core CCD with the 3DV-cache and one with only 4 enabled...

This whole gen reminds me of the 600 gen tbh. The controversial aspect of that gen was that the 680 had a lower bus width, had less memory chips and was much smaller than the 580 it replaced yet cost the same. It relied on process and architecture efficiency and clock speed. My main concern with...

I'm excited for GT7. Might mean I can get a cockpit and just move the PS5 into my study to play. I currently have a wheel stand and G923 wheel that I move to the lounge when I want to play and it's a pain. I also really want to upgrade to a better wheel but won't until I can get a cockpit to...

Yes and coincidental that the 7800X3D is the only one with a lower boost clock than its non-X3D counterpart. Makes the choice harder. I was really wanting to move up from 8 to 12 cores while still favouring gaming performance over productivity, but now the choice won't be so easy as 12 and 16...

It's looking like MSRP comparisons could shift from last gen though. 7800 will likely be cheaper than 4070 where as 6800 was dearer than 3070 at least for the effectively fictional MSRP. Lower pricing does appear to be AMD's answer to weak ray tracing this gen, which is disappointing. Hopefully...

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get the chance. I found overclocking guides a bit vague for what I needed to know and most of it was zen 2 related or older. I'm running the latest beta BIOS as of 2 weeks ago on my Asus B550f gaming wifi. I tried setting manual 4.6GHz all cores and 1.275v which...
