Read my post again fuckface

No. If you're upgrading, you likely just need a new GPU. Your current everything will work perfectly fine with it.

MS's console is not only facing competition from Sony, but as well as a $499 RTX 3070. Many people are undoubtedly contemplating upgrading their PC vs buying a console... At $600 for the console.. a $500 GPU that is faster than a 2080ti and with the features Nvidia is bringing is.. compelling to say the least.. considering they play the same games lol.

Yeah agreed. $600 leaves way too much room for Sony to undercut them... and they simply cannot afford to have Sony have the lower priced console.. not now... and not before either.

Eh, could be a fake out. Nothing is set in stone until they announce it. $600 though...

Blower cards are really great for small form factor builds. They have their place. But yes, there's obviously better options out there assuming you have the right setup. The 30-series cards though have a hybrid solution which is part blower and part open air. It's going to be really interesting seeing how these perform compared to the 20-series as well as the open air AIB partner cards.

Nvidia is also going pretty crazy with their analysis tools. Reviewers have FCAT for frames, now they'll have PCAT for power, and there's that new Reflex Latency analyzer being built into their new Gsync monitors which can measure input latency super precisely without the need of having a high speed camera set up and counting the frames individually. This all helps reviewers bring us more accurate information and results. Good shit.

Apparently the "demo" for their RTX I/O tech was the RTX Marbles demo. With RTX I/O the demo loaded in just 1.62 seconds, whereas the traditional method using the CPU was 5.25 seconds. That's a 3.25x increase in speed. Meanwhile the HDD has been loading for 16.57 seconds and is no where even close to being even half done lol. Damn.. games really will be instant loading in the future. I wonder if it will be possible for applications like Steam, Epic Game Store, and others to utilize this technology to improve install speeds and decrypting in the future?

No idea. I'd like to know that as well.

Yea it would seem so. By having logic in the RT core that essentially keeps a time scale of triangle positions, it would allow them to do better motion blur effects while having less of a performance hit. I'm wondering if this couldn't be also used to improve performance for things like contact hardening soft shadows where it becomes more diffused the farther away from the object. Maybe instead of having to calculate against every triangle every frame, they could possibly interpolate between two different triangle positions on the time scale to create those effects? It could also allow the

Uh, I'm talking about games like Flight Sim... and Forza Horizon 4 is one of the nicest most technically impressive games of the gen. Gears 5 also looks amazing completely maxed out

On PC they do

Post any post of me acting smug about my PC. I dont even talk about my PC unless I'm buying new parts or someone asks me. Where the fuck does that shit even come from? You mad about something? Oh, are you referring to how I talk about consoles vs PC? Lmao miss me with that shit homie... it's system wars..

- Actual "big navi" has 275W and just above a 3070 performance (if the Nvidia charts are true) - Possibility that AMD pushed the TDP to +-300W to get around 3080 performance but that would be really bad for the efficiency - Board partners don't yet have chips or even BOM (bill of materials) what will lead to only reference design to be available this year Damn... barely better than a 2080ti two years later. And consuming more power on a smaller process node... OUCH if true!

I meant to put a couple but my phone fucked it up. I had already changed it before you responded. And Sean can suck my dick

A bunch of nobodies and a couple old dudes trying to stay young

On PC I think there are some mods to make it a bit more interesting... but yeah, would have been nice.

Only you can really decide that. Is there any pressing need for you to have more GPU power for the moment? Maybe Cyberpunk 2077? But even then, you have a great GPU already. If you're not in a rush, then I'd hold off. It would probably be a good idea to see what AMD has coming. Even if you're dead set on Nvidia... AMD could disrupt the game with some competitive GPUs and it could lower prices.

The 3070 being more powerful, or equal to a 2080ti likely will mean the 3060 will be around 2080 performance... and that GPU will be $350. I fucking told Jon there'd be a $350 GPU that beats the PS5/XSX within the first 6 months. 20-series cards are going to get real cheap really quick too, so finding a cheap 2080 wont be a problem.

We'll have to see how this new studio handles the IP. Are they going to go traditional with it... ie, more of the same... or are they going to try some new and interesting stuff? The potential is there though, given the hardware.

They're really great. They must have at least 3 projects going at any time.

2>1>3>LL>4 Get the FUCK out of here with 4 being "best in the series"

Uncharted is nothing without Amy Hennig. Just let it die already
