So I have been playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor since yesterday after their patch and it's like... Why not launch with this patch? Most of the stutters are gone and the performance has increased... There is still some minor stutters but it is 100% playable. If it launched like this, most people wouldn't complain. SMH EA. Least I got it for free.

Possibily, considering TSMC's N3 is coming at a not-so-nice $20,000 per wafer.

RDNA 3 lineup revealed. Shows Navi 31 refresh (7950 XT/X 7950 XTX) along side Navi 32 and 33 releases.

Curious to see how they plan on pricing these. And how the 7950 XTX performs.

So many news yesterday, yet so little for today's news:

Bungie lawsuit ends with Destiny cheat-seller on the hook for $12M
https://www.pcgamer.com/bungie-lawsuit-ends-with-destiny-cheat-seller-on-the-hook-for-dollar12m/
Bungie has won a lawsuit it brought in 2021 against the Romanian national Mihai Claudiu-Florentin, who it said was behind software called VeteranCheats that players bought in order to cheat in Destiny 2. In February this year Bungie requested around $12 million in damages in a motion for default judgement, a request that the court has now granted.

And when you start considering how many waffers they'll need, even a small discount from Samsung can save them millions for a little performance lose.

It's so weird to see AMD already talking about xx50 parts that I can't help going back at launch and the rumor about AMD finding a last minute bug that prevented Navi31 to clock as high as it should, limiting its performance.

But that's just speculation. At least now we know what we can expect from them, even if we still don't know how well they'll perform.

Two and a half years since launch GeForce RTX 3070 price finally drops below MSRP

Took em long enough

AMD says Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” gaming laptops are shipping to OEMs, but consumers may need to wait ‘several weeks’

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-says-ryzen-7040-phoenix-gaming-laptops-are-shipping-to-oems-but-consumers-may-need-to-wait-several-weeks

Probably 5-10% faster at best since 7900XTX is already full die afaik so the only thing they can do is increase the clock speed similar to 6950XT.

True. The 7900 XTX has been selling quite well so I can't see this releasing any time soon. Probably Q4 for refresh Navi 31. If they can get clocks up for the refresh and get top Navi 31 to 3.2Ghz+, that will make RDNA 3 much more competitive to the 4090; at least in Raster. Though still won't be anywhere near as efficient. Maybe its a new stepping they'll make for a properly fixed design closer to what they shown (50% efficiency to performance gains) will replace production of current 7900/7900XTX's?

Speculation again. Might also be why AMD are taking so long with Navi 32. That and them cleaing old RX 6000 series stock.
