Nvidia has invested heavily in ray tracing technology though

real edge
there is no point in increasing your fps from 100 to 200 if the feel of the game is the same because the latency increases
hm I see
umbral moss
the FPS increase is mostly because you're running the internal framerate at whatever low res shit you wanted to get the performance
and then the GPU upscales it with math to your desired resolution
that upscaling operation requires time

yeah this new mode looks really pretty

turns out "doesn't support active cables" means it can't charge off a macbook power brick

it really feels like the entire rest of the 40xx lineup exists just to push people towards the 4090

so basically it’s still overpriced but not to the same degree as the 4070 Ti or 4080, where both of them existed to push people towards the 4090

amd will release midrange gpus to compete at the 500 dollar price range in a month or two
I am curious about the comparisons tbh
what will the 7800xt match I wonder
the 6800xt was 600dollars msrp 2 years ago or so
now the 4070 matches its performance and price point....2 years later?
wha
what is the point of this gpu
sharp star
yeah
4070 could use a price drop by around $100-150 then it’s fine
4080 definitely needs a big price drop
simply download more VRAM

RE4 was one of the better ports but I’m still concerned about sub-10GB VRAM

like whats even the point of the 4070. the 6900/6950xt is like the same price or cheaper depending on where you get it and you cant even use RTX as an argument if it performs like last gen AMD in that regard. but with the amd you get a lot more vram and generally better performance

it has some nice features but I agree the price structure doesnt make a lot of sense
however this brings up a case point for AMD
what are they gonna do to market a midrange card
for its current gen
lost python
its tricky because there are so many last gen high end cards still in stock that fit into that pricerange so the best thing they can do is wait until the stock dwindles 
deep sapphire
I know I bash AMD a lot but this time it feels credible, they barely priced their cards lower yet offer significantly less features

unless you spend hundreds on pc fans, they're effectively consumables
they'll also last for years unless you let your pc get and stay dusty and it causes the fan to eventually bind up
