What on earth are you talking about? The cynical-sounding headline here is actually 100% warranted, and if you posted the actual video so people could see the content and context, we could all see that.
I don't promote Steve's content so you can do your own work.
What a lame stance, especially when you're trying to criticize journalists. smh
Saying a new processor is fine just cuz it's not slower than its two year old predecessor is insane. And you know it. (and if you watch the video, you'll see it actually *is* slower than the 7700X in a number of titles)
You need to remember you're comparing 105W CPU to 65W CPU though, 9700X being the 65W one.
This is covered in the video. Increasing the power does not translate to notably higher performance at all.
Rly? We got 14% more in CB from 16% higher clocks with manual OC and when going with factory settings it's constantly hitting specifically power barrier, not temp or clock.
HUB praises AMD: “HUB are AMD shills!”
But you are literally making it up right here.
I mean an image instead of simply the youtube video itself? It doesn't make sense to take a screenshot of the video and post it.
No, that is an entirely accurate picture of how many in this place treat HUB.
Again, Steve tested with PBO as well and didn't see any big gains from it. And he was already getting notably higher all core clocks than certain other outlets(like GN). And also said they talked to AMD thoroughly to ensure their data wasn't somehow off for some reason and AMD said it was more or less in line with expectations.
Who's "many"? I never said anything of what that user has quoted so yes, he is just making stuff up, right there.
The issue is ‘whether people like it or not’, making a feature essentially mandatory when it doesn’t look worlds better than raster is ridiculous when a lot of people just want good looking raster. BF1 looks better than almost all of these UE5 slop titles, yet doesn’t require bespoke hardware or 4x upscaling to run decently.
You can call it cringe all you want but outside of 3D graphics enthusiast circles (even within these circles, look at HUB’s community’s thoughts) most people probably agree with HUB’s analysis here.
I don't think devs care about that all that much. if it makes development easier and with more consistent results, it's going to be used to their benefit.
I've played most of the games in this video and in basically all of them RT was a clear gain in visual fidelity. Takes like on RE Village are just buffling to me as they essentially boil down to "I like bad graphics more than good graphics".
