| hinch said: Skimmed through a few reviews and idk man.. might sit out this gen at this rate. Whats dissapointing me the most as the silicon gets cut down more and all the benefits gained from going to a massively improved node.. gets lost. With essentially the same RT performance as last gen with a slight price improvement and efficiency. And just Ai as the big seller. Shits so bad that even RDNA 2 cards compete with RT with these cards lol. |
Honestly that is still my recommendation outside of 4090 buyers. Buying neither Nvidia or Radeon feels good right now. Nvidia because of how greedy they are and AMD cause of a lack of features amongst other issues like with emulation.
There is a good amount of reasons to wait for next gen imo. GPU and PC shipments in general have massively gone down similar to Turning. The price and performance outside of flagship is largely unappealing like Turing. Nvidia should be switching to Samsung similar to Ampere. Nvidia is increasing their vram for the mid ranged every generation. There are new features like DLSS 3 and VSR that need some more updates to get their kinks worked out similar to Turing.
So I think there's a good chance that Blackwell will be similar to Ampere in terms of performance uplift for the price you pay. $600 could be the new price for the 5070 regardless but imo, the performance uplift would be worth the price by then. And they could potentially add in 16GB of vram for the 70 class as well.
