Welcome!

This seems like a really good sign to me as well. More minds together should result in better products for both PC and console.

9% is huge!

Fair enough on those two points. (y)

I wonder whether this was all a ruse to upsell consumers to 16GB models with greater margins. The $50 price difference is a bit steep for modules that shouldn't cost that much. Spitting out a few numbers... If AMD's, for example, 'ideal' margins were selling the 9060XT die at $325 with 16GB of...

I feel that this is the last generation we'll see with limited VRAM. I think some forget that making a 12GB GPU as the bear minimum isn't straightforward. Without 3GB modules, the bandwidth has to change, and that changes a lot of how a die is developed. Budget GPUs have traditionally been...

This is pretty big if it comes to fruition and works as intended. I know Xbox' cloud gaming failed, but combining Xbox with PC in a systemic way could completely change gaming... for the better I'd say.

I'd actually disagree. I know I'm gonna sound like a picky turd but with all the flaws of the 5080, including power delivery, driver problems, low VRAM amount, missing ROPs, PhysX being dropped quietly, poor performance jump from 4080, I would say the the 5080 is a mid card even if it were...

My cores go VROOOM VROOOM!!

Who's being greedy? Consumers? I don't get it.

What do you guys mean? Why are they selling out and why is it disappointing? Not trying to doubt it, genuinely curious.

Ahh yeah, well said. Wax sculpture is a perfect description. I always loved the Hitman games because I feel it worked for that environment. The 'wax sculpture' aesthetic worked because of how comical and on the nose it always was. And the layout of the maps being like puzzles works in a game...

Yeah, wondering that myself. I'd wager it's the former, not the latter. I see no reason for it not to be popular. And there are those I've seen online saying they've bought them - though that happens with every launch. I don't think the demand is as high as the 9070 stuff in terms of day-one...

Not so much the engine as it is the 'vibe'. I dunno, that's a bit vague, but it just doesn't look exciting.

I don't think that's bad. I think they've done a reasonable job ensuring UK stock is reasonable and prices aren't over-inflated. I can buy a Sapphire Pulse 16GB right now for the base price at OCUK.
