Next-Gen flagship GPU rumors: NVIDIA “Ada” GA102 with 21 Gbps memory, AMD’s “RDNA3” Navi 31 with 7 chiplets, Intel “Battlemage” with 20480 cores

Of course, it's impossible to tell how these GPUs will perform until they release. But if it is 2x GA102 and 2.5X Navi 21, then RDNA 3 should win in Raster assuming GA102 is the best 3090Ti and Navi 21 is the best 6900XT. But that would also be pretty bad for Ray Tracing as 2.5x Navi 21 won't get anywhere close to 2x GA102.

The other interesting thing will be 96MB of L2 Cache on Lovelace vs 256mb/512mb of Infinity Cache (L3) on RDNA 3. The L2 should in theory be much higher bandwidth but you won't have that abundance of cache at L3 that RDNA 3 does.

AMD Speedruns Destruction of Goodwill (R5 4500 CPU Review)

Late, Slow, No Gen 4. Better to try and find a cheap 3000 series CPU than this junk.


Intel Arc A370M is Up to 90% Slower than AMD’s Radeon RX 6500M in Gaming Workloads

Late and slow. Least people that can't get Lovelace or RDNA 3 will have a third option...

Cool flagship instead of fusion reactor: the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti turns the efficiency list upside down with a 300-watt throttle and beats the Radeons | igor'sLAB

He did only benchmark this at 4k where Nvidia is at their strongest. At 1440p or 1080p, I am sure 6900XT would have taken some wins against the 300 Watt limit.

Sunsetting the Bethesda.net Launcher & Migrating to Steam [UPDATED]

https://bethesda.net/en/article/2RXxG1y000NWupPalzLblG/sunsetting-the-bethesda-net-launcher-and-migrating-to-steam

"Q: How will I play my games?

A: We encourage our Bethesda.net Launcher community to continue their experience on Steam. In April, you will be able to migrate your Bethesda.net library to your Steam account. Any title you own on the Bethesda.net Launcher will be available to you free on Steam. Your purchases will carry over to your Steam account. Many game saves will also transfer, however some may require manual copying. For more information on which games will require you to manually move your saves, please see our FAQ Entry "What happens to my game progression and saves?"."

Thank you Microsoft. One less shat launcher! Now please do the same with Blizzard!

It does make you wonder what type of deal MS has with Valve to be this committed to Steam cause there's no way their agreement is the standard agreement everyone else gets.
