Well, I never said it shouldn't exist - in fact, no offense guys, I kinda said the opposite. I was just backtracking what I said a few months ago that this GPU would be amazing.
I once thought this would be a great GPU, but I'm sceptical now. I can see why it would exist - to fill the absurdly large gap between the 9070 and 9060 XT - but it doesn't make as much sense as a product than the two that sandwich it.
I think if they're ever going to do it, now is the time. The standard Zen 6 stuff seemingly has a lot more cache, so a stacked cache CPU won't harvest sales from the main line as much. I could see why they staggered the releases in the past (not saying I agree with it), but this time I think it...
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...
