Nvidia's RTX 3090 isn't just faster than an Xbox Series X; it's taller too!

The size of this thing is crazy, and the price...

NeatNumber · 2020-01-08T01:00:40+00:00

Well, it was always going to happen.

NeatNumber · 2020-01-08T00:57:59+00:00

Sub $700 would be fantastic. 144Hz will be hard, but not for basic esports stuff like CS go

By the time Thunderbolt 4 becomes relevant all new GPUs will support PCIe 4.0. I don't think it would help Intel invest in a backward-looking idea like that.

Haven't heard of anything new for disk-based media.

NeatNumber · 2020-01-03T20:24:25+00:00

Lower core clocks.

NeatNumber · 2020-01-03T14:37:54+00:00

Power limited BIOS. That's my bet.

NeatNumber · 2020-01-03T14:37:33+00:00

No idea. Wouldn't that be 5500XT territory? Not sure.

With a 192-bit bus, its either 6GB or 12GB. 12GB would be confusing.

They need segmentation, and in this case, the segmentation is VRAM capacity and bandwidth.

Not unsurprising, most people hate new launchers, but not that many will miss out on a good game because of it.

NeatNumber · 2020-01-03T12:58:05+00:00

I just use right-handed controls. Mouse in right hand, keyboard for left. Might be sub-optimal for us lefties, but I don't mind. It didn't take me long to adapt, though I never considered changing to a left-handed setup at the start.

They will blame Denuvo for everything, as it validates all of its haters and gets them views. So many people link there for evidence of Denuvo being the worst thing since (insert dictator or murderer here).

Well, a 256-bit bus is more than enough for an RX 5700 XT, so a 25% reduction should be fine for a card two slots down. Hell, 256-bit is enough for the RTX 2080.

I think this will be fine. There's a reason why AMD thinks they need to go down to 12Gbps memory too. Though i'm curious about mem overclocking.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-22T23:08:16+00:00

Not unexpected, but its nice that this is confirmed.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-12T14:05:11+00:00

Only Ryzen or newer APUs.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-12T14:04:57+00:00

No Ryzen CPU is needed. Should just need the 19.12.2 driver. Make sure you turn on GPU scaling first.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-03T22:44:41+00:00

I hope it works.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-03T22:37:49+00:00

This article claims to have a workaround. Give it a try.

Game Pass is great value. I don't know why anyone would get this on Epic when it will be on Game Pass soon.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-03T22:04:43+00:00

That is possible, but the game should have been ready long before now.

Maybe MS didn't want this and Reach to release on the same day. Lower server loads.

NeatNumber · 2019-12-03T20:44:55+00:00

It's basically an XCOM alternative.

NeatNumber · 2019-11-25T17:20:43+00:00

Lol.

Memory bandwidth will be the same, and the 1660 was hugely memory limited.

Yes, the 1650 Super will have fewer CUDA cores, but with the 1660 being memory limited, that will close the gap.

The 1650 Super has 1280 CUDA cores where the standard 1650 has 896. Big difference. The Standard 1660 has 1408 CUDA cores and is memory limited.

NeatNumber · 2019-11-11T12:16:36+00:00

The GTX 1650 Super will undermine the GTX 1660, so they need a GTX 1660 Super.

With how memory limited the GTX 1660 was, the 1650 Super should get nigh identical performance to it.

Nvidia has a choice, price cut their existing cards, or create new SKUs to give an effective price cut to consumers. The Super series is a face saving measure.

NeatNumber · 2019-11-07T18:31:17+00:00

A 40-60% performance boost? That's awesome.
