Bold: It should be early 2023 along with DDR5 RAMs, so, i hope they fix the prices.

Thanks, Yuri.

I'm currently building an entry gaming PC for my brother and went with a 3600 + 3060 Ti, a nice mix of similar numbers, and also somewhat of a throwback to my 2010 build with a Phenom and a 460. Back then I was just a wee freshman lad with a tight budget, but damn, the exchange rates and prices were great.

Native ATX 3.0 16-Pin Cable Melts Too When Connected To An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

$1600+ GPU getting cucked by 10 cent connector. While it hasn't happened to mine yet, it's embarassing that Nvidia hasn't come out and said anything. And I have seen some tards on twitter defend this using % based on the 100,000 number when in reality, this shouldn't have happened to even a single consumer released product unless the consumer was doing something dumb like daisy chaining molex connectors.

More Video Cards Need This: AMD RX 7900 XTX Reference Design Hands-On

Very interesting temp tensors on the fans

So I found out what Hyper RX is. I rewatched the Hyper Rx portion of AMD's press event and Cortex's video and it's a one click feature that combines Boost with FSR with Anti Lag...

Which is to say it's gonna be useless. All it really does is attempt to decrease input latency by increasing the frames by dynamically adjusting resolution with upscaling. Radeon Anti-Lag is similar to Nvidia's Null where you enable in driver level and it gives a minor input latency decrease. So Hyper RX is certainly not a Reflex Alternative because with Reflex, it's all native with drastic input latency decrease.

If anyone is interested in why Reflex is so good vs Boost, Anti-lag and such, watch this video. Yes it's 20 minutes but as Reflex support is only going to increase with it being part of DLSS 3, people should understand why it's so good.

I guess the cablemod is the only hope for 4090, how is the Corsair's cable going?

I wouldn't touch cablemod either until Nvidia finds out what's causing the issue cause otherwise, you aren't gonna have a good time with warranty. It's why I still have the shit adapter installed on my Strix 4090 cause I am not gonna let warranty people claim it was due to a third party adapter.

Dam, this is not good...

Ok, now I'm a bit lost. I know the difference in shaders with the Ada GPUs is so big that we've made those kind of comments, but is the difference between the XTX and the XT so big? I know one has 12 CUs less than the other, but the full Navi 32 GPU has, allegedly, 60CUs, putting the 7900XT in the middle of both full chips.

It will certainly not set the world aflame, but it's too soon to know how RDNA3 will perform.

You only need to use some 3600MHz DDR4 memory to make the perfect combo .

I hope your brother thanks you how he should, because that will be a great gaming PC.

Well the 6800XT is 72CU while the 6900XT/XTX is 80CU. That's why the 7900XT is a 7800XT is disguise because the 7900XT is 84 CU vs 7900XTX is 96 CU.

The 4080 is a 4070 disguised as a 4080 in paper specs. But since AMD themselves are saying that the 7900XTX is a 4080 competitor, it is a "4080" in the sense that is will compete against the 7900XT realistically if that makes any sense. Cause the 7900XTX will no doubt out perform the 4080 cause the 4080 is just too slow. But the 7900XT will most likely be a close match against the 4080.

So both companies are doing shitty things. Nvidia outright said fu and priced the 4080 to $1200 vs the $700 of the previous 3080 while AMD is being slimy by increasing the price to $900 and calling it a 7900XT while the previous price of the 6800XT was $650. If Nvidia doesn't lower the price of the 4080, it will certainly be the shittiest GPU of the year though. It will be a worse buy than Intel A770 imo.

Ok, so because the difference in CUs between the two 7900 is bigger than the difference between the 6900 and 6800s, you've deduced that the 7900XT should be a lower tier card than its name says, and that's why it should be the 7800XT. That's it, right?

I don't think it's as easy as that, because the RDNA architectue only has three gens and AMD has changed the naming and how they've used the different designs in each one of them versus Nvidia, that has a more reliable history of which tier uses which chips, but I see your point.
