AMD’s Next-Gen UDNA 5 Gaming GPUs Could Potentially Bridge The Ray-Tracing Performance Gap With NVIDIA, Indicates Extensive Patent Filings

I'll believe it when I see it, but I really hope AMD manages to close the gap, especially when it comes to path tracing. In any case, Nvidia should still have an advantage as UDNA5 will face Nvidia's next generation, not Blackwell, and we don't know how much Nvidia will improve in that area.

Intel’s High-End Battlemage Arc B770 GPU Could Be Unveiled As Soon As Computex 2025, Could Compete With NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Series

I hope Intel launches them. The more competition, the better, and the driver overhead issues should be less of a problem in that segment as people likely have better CPUs.

I mean, AMD doesn't need to beat nVidia they just need to be "good enough" where the difference is irrelevant.

Case in point, their geometry throughput for Tessellation has never been able to beat nVidia's Polymorph engines, but the difference is so insignificant these days it's a pointless comparison.
They need to do the same with Ray Tracing, RDNA4 needs a little bit more refinement on the Ray Tracing side, but they are definitely going in the right direction.


The 9070 series is slowly creeping up in price, the 9070XT is double the price of the 7800XT now... Which sucks. Need an upgrade, but refuse to spend more than the price of a gaming console.
