It would be weird, but also stupidly amazing, to see AMD launchig a new set of cards going RX 6500, 6600 and 6800, with a striking 3070 in between just for the sake of it.

Took me way too long to figure out what's wrong here.

Erm... and how much was "way too long"? I'll admit that I didn't notice the first picture, but the second one triggered all the alarms.

NVIDIA Ends Production of GeForce RTX 20 ‘Turing’ Series As GeForce RTX 30 ‘Ampere’ Gaming Graphics Card Launch Gets Closer, Price Hike For Current High-End Cards Expected

Incongruous NVIDIA GPU pops-up on Geekbench; does not seem like Ampere, but could it be an RTX 2080 Ti Super or a gimped Titan RTX?

Thanks for the reminder :) Tuning in for free game lol

Unless there's a lot of inventory left of Nvidia's 2xxx series, when do you think we should expect the new cards? My guess is around September like most rumors say.

And, I'll try to watch the Ubisoft conference, but not really for the game (I still have to play more than the 10-15 minutes of the first Watchdogs).
*Edit* Scrap that. It looks like there's a lot of people interested in either the conference or the free game, because I can log in to ubisoft nor UPlay.

I was wise in advance and logged in to uPlay hours before the stream started. Turns out it doesn't help at all, because when you try to open the stream in uPlay, it gets stuck trying to load the stream and opens the stream in browser instead. Of course I didn't think of logging in in the browser beforehand, so the stream in the browser is useless for getting the free game... Not exactly a good performance from Ubisoft, although I'm not very surprised.

Funnily enough, I logged in to UPlay this morning, but closed it later. Not much of a loss because of how little I played of Watchdogs, but it shows that Ubisoft underestimated the demand to "watch the stream".

It makes me wonder how they believe they can have a successful battle royale with those servers.

Ray Tracing set to Ultra = 1080p 30fps on a 2080Ti with DLSS disabled. This is an open world game so it isn't too surprising.

They also aren't sure if the next gen consoles will use the Ultra setting when doing ray tracing and could end up being a lower setting but also could be the same. Just as a friendly reminder that games with ray tracing do get better with post launch patches but hot damn. Thank god I didn't bother with 2000 series on my desktop.
