Sounds like it, yeah. Will see if its any good. If the latency is bad then its just a marketing bullet point to check off :P Like 8K gaming.

AMD should've had a Reflex alternative by now ready for launch. Them not providing any numbers outside vague ones or non at all for the cards doesn't instill a lot of confidence. Hopefully its vastly better than boost, at the very least lol.

Bold: I thought HYPER-RX is their answer to Reflex. It should unify boost and anti-lag techs, and the later is what Reflex does, right?

And who cares what's best for RDNA3. What we should care about is us. Therefore, let's hope Nvidia does lower the price of the 4080 and AMD is forced to respond, to start a price war WE will benefit from. It's about damn time!

It's not clear what Hyper Rx is. From what I have seen, it ups the framerate while decreasing latency which isn't what Reflex does. Reflex only decreases input latency due to managing the render queue so there isn't any bottlenecks.

Because Hyper rx increases the framerate in order to decrease input latency, it sounds much more similar to AMD's Boost. What Boost did is dynamically lower to render resolution to meet a certain framerate. But no one used it in practice because it lowers the render resolution, sometimes to insanely low levels which makes it impractical for most situations.

And yea, competition is great.

Since FSR is becoming more and more sophisticated I assume there are similar low-latency techs in the pipeline.

Overall I'm satisfied with performance and pricing. Over 90% of the 4090's raster for 100 W less sounds fine to me. I'm just disappointed with the RT performance. I'm assuming they remained at the same number per CU instead of doubling like the FP32s (called that one) which seems a mistake. Or maybe to save costs on the 5 nm chip, IDK.

Edit - with that being said, these 58B transistors are being produced for way less than Nvidia would spend on a similar amount. So AMD can afford a lot of price competition this time.

From the presentation, it seemed pretty clear to me that this is AMD's answer to Reflex, and that it will come in spring next year. I agree with you however that the implementation looks quite different.

Keyword is up to:

Looks like power consumption will be lower than the RTX 40 Series. 350W for the 7900XTX and 300W for the 7900XT. Compare that to the 40 Series here
