Funnily enough, I gamed on a GeForce 3 Ti200 for years until a good deal on a 9800 Pro came along. This goes back to the split market I was talking about in an earlier post. Some people don’t see the point of cards being any faster because they...

Yes, as you point out, the hardware will be catching up for a long time as it’s a moving target. Upscaling, frame gen, and eye tracking are each good for about a 30% effective performance improvement before they start to noticeably degrade image...

This is my exact same sentiment and situation. I was ready to move to the 4k series on launch day (4080-4090, I was undecided), but after those prices and the ROI performance-wise, no thanks, I'll keep my money and sit this gen out. I've got a...

I do get where you’re coming from, and I’m sure there are plenty of people who use and appreciate RT in 2024. In my post I was talking mainly about RT in 2019 when the 2x00 series was on the market. By AI extensions I meant something similar to...

Hm? RT is quite noticeable in some titles, especially Hogwarts Legacy. It can look quite nice.. And as an antialiasing technology, DLAA runs absolute circles around any other AA I've tried in almost any title (both performance wise and looks...

Just ordered a 7900GRE as I got it at around the price of the cheapest 7800XT card after a recent price drop. Basically aprox. 500USD list price and 450USD after rebate code, both prices before sales tax. It is one of the more basic models, but...

You hit the nail on the head with “a couple of gens.” That’s AMD’s problem in a nutshell. They’ve never knocked it out of the park twice in a row so they’ve never stolen durable mindshare from NVIDIA. Even when they’re on a roll, there’s always...

The 5090 will not be above $2000, likely $1500-$1800. The 5080 will be $1000. Nvidia knows how much enthusiasts and high end buyers are willing to pay. The 4080 Super made it obvious. The original 4080 did not meeting sales expectations, they...

They can't do that because the 5080 isn't the flagship. The flagship halo product can be priced at whatever ridiculous amount, it's been done before with the Titan lineup. We had the Titan V for $3000 and the Titan RTX for $2500. People will not...

There's a lot of doom and gloom around GPU pricing, and not without reason, but at the end of the day NVIDIA's objective is to turn a profit, and the $1,200 RTX 4080 didn't do that because few people bought one. They had to reintroduce the same...

The first “3D accelerators” that I remember were the S3 Virge, Rendition Verite, PowerVR (?), and a little later the 3dfx Voodoo. I was big into Mechwarrior 2, and the Verite was the one I dreamed about at the time. I would have wanted the...
