It came with the promise 'Will run with 60 fps', which it might do in the meantime.
But it's irrelevant anyway. People see the video, and after that they want games looking like that. Immediatly.
They don't get a game, but announcements of this or that UE5 project. I follow them and observe performance.
My conclusion is it's a 30fps engine even on high end PC. (Matrix was 20fps on my 10tf GPU, RE4 Remake has high min specs but is 30fps, various content show offs / indie stuff on YT all below 60)
Thus - as a consumer - i'm disappointed.
It's about consumer feedback. If you react with self defense, you kind of miss the point (even if i'm wrong).
The gaming industry as a whole spends to much on announcements, building up hype and promises.
Currently, games get much more converage before the release than after that. Once the game is released, nobody talks about it anymore at all. It should be the other way around, no?
It's all broken. To sum it up: 'Preorder the disappointment' seems the dominating idea, and that now in a world of unaffordable HW on top.
Well, the SW charts looks acceptable. But that's all high end GPUs, no mid range or entry level, in a game with prev gen content.
So my 30 fps impression remains upright.
Still, i didn't intend to spoil the thread with ot UE5 critique, so i'll stop my whining here.

There differences are minor, it's all microarchitecture/implementation disadvantage.

Since (for reasons unknown to mankind) I can't reply to 7900 reviews thread anymore I'll just do it here.
I dunno why people are looking at 4090 or G80 examples when there was AMD's own very recent example of going from Navi 10 to Navi 21, on the same process no less, delivering more or less +100% of performance and a heap of additional features to boot. 4090 is neither the biggest gain over previous gen nor is it something special.
I'm sure it is slightly, but it certainly doesn't explain the lack of improvement from RDNA2. The performance just isn't where it should be.
Are there any numbers out there for the power overhead due to going with 6 chiplets for I/O?
Pretty sure we'll see some announcements at CES, availability is another thing obviously
It says "for some A0 chips". Does that just mean all 7900XT and 7900XTX?

Yea, they're A0 N31 shipped it seems.
Could you dumb it down a bit for me please, like an ELI5? I think it means AMD shipped what's basically the engineering sample of the N31 but I'd like to be sure. <oops>

yea.
A0 isn't always an ES but this thing basically is at this point.

Game devs delay stuff all the time. It's a bit odd that somehow Hardware doesn't get the same treatment.
I was right? I sort of get it? w0000000000000000000000000000000t!!!!
I'll take that as a win for now, I'm in need of one. Thanks. Does this also mean that there could be A1 7900XT/XTX cards coming at a later date or do you think they'll call them 7950?
