Is the 4090Ti happening for sure? If we assume Ada tops out at the 4090 then everything kind of falls into the right place, historically. Only the last gen was weird really.



So it's really only the 4080 12GB scam and the prices overall that are out of whack.

Who gives a gently caress about model names, the problem is the pricing, just like with the 2xxx launch before the Super refreshes.

We're going to get a 4070 Super at some point that fixes this whole mess and gives people on 1080 Tis or 2070S something that's a clear upgrade without being an awful value.

we haven't heard anything definitive about a 4090ti but nvidia could certainly do it if they wanted to, the 4090 is enough of a cutdown that a 4090ti could be a good ~12% faster on paper

The naming was rather problematic for the 4080 12GB.

Otherwise of course it's the pricing, $1000 is ridiculous whether they call it a 4080 or 4070 or whatever.

The 4090 die is about 200mm^2 less than the reticle limit of TSMC's 4nm process. That is to say, they can make a bigger chip, but it would be a true monster to power, cool and pay for. So perhaps yes, they can make a 4090ti, but from what we have seen from AMD, Nvidia would be competing with themselves.

The 4090 does not use the whole die. The full AD102 has 18432 cuda cores, while the 4090 uses only 16384. So the 4090 Ti wouldn't be based on a new die closer to the reticle limit--it would just actually use the entire AD102 die. There were some reports that Nvidia has already started binning chips for this, but then there were reports that Nvidia canceled plans for a 4090 Ti, so who knows. Nvidia has a workstation GPU that uses more of the die, so the best samples are probably going there.

weren't the cancellation reports about the crazy 48GB/800W Titan that had been rumoured, I think the 4090 Ti is still a possibility

My Ampere A6000 performed between a 3080 and 3090, I'd expect the Ada 6000 to slot in similarly partially due to not having G6X VRAM

Thanks to the person who posted about the promotion that's happening with some RX 6000 cards. I didn't go for that, but I did find myself a 6600 XT which was nicely on sale.

Now I can quit fretting about how long it's gonna take AMD and/or Nvidia to release midrange cards. I'm still gonna be reading about them when they do happen, tho.

Nvidia/AMD got mad that people were selling the keys so now all you get is a locked-down copy of stuff like DLC for Doom: Eternal with your $1200 card

I'm sure it was the publishers that were complaining but I never got why anyone gave a crap since they all still got paid.

Look, if you got a game 8 years ago, you would have likely got a few hours of enjoyment out of it. Star Citizen has given you over seventy thousand hours of anticipation. That kind of value has never existed in the gaming space.

It was probably AMD/Nvidia pushing that methodology. By locking down the copies they can negotiate for a reduced tie-in valuation for a bunch of reasons.

In other words it's cheaper to bundle a game when the utilization rate is lower through consumer unfriendly lockdown mechanisms. Doing it this way is likely only fractionally as expensive as offering a completely agnostic key like they did during the good ol' days.

My little system builder and Pc part shop here in Germany leaked their internal prices.
The 7900xtx top customs will listed at 1500 Euro and go up to 1600 Euro lol
The 4080 top customs like the Strix will be 1990 Euro.

So no, RDNA3 is cheaper but it isn’t saving high end pc gaming gpu prices over here.

That’s the other issue, it’s all well and good having MSRP lower but stores still have dollar signs in their eyes and will continue to jack up prices and hand wave it away because something something inflation.

damning with faint praise here, but it is genuinely nice that the first-party gpu's are available to a european customer base, unlike fe which seem to basically be na-only at this point?

one of the things i like about amd is that they have their own shop, just in case the stores here decide to get too stupid with their price gouging

Nvidia do as well. And in the UK you can buy FE cards from there. They don’t have a retailer exclusivity agreement like they do in the US with Best Buy.

Got my 2060S in, and 3DVision is still cool dammit. Scratches an itch that VR doesn't, and it's much less hassle throwing on a pair of shutter glasses than putting on a headset. Wish it had taken off, but there are a lot of good games on the supported list. Had to roll back to Win10 1909 and run a hacked 452.06 driver, but community tools made that pretty easy.

Not surprising. Cyberpunk is one of the visually noisiest games ever made. If you remember how it looks with TAA forced off, it's a horror show of single-pixel flickering. DLSS does incredible work taming that. I don't know that FSR will ever be that great at dealing with extreme levels of noise.

repiv
Aug 13, 2009

even DLSS isn't really designed to handle extreme noise on the input, they recommend running stochastic effects through some kind of denoiser before the DLSS pass

cyberpunk just YOLOs it and leaves the TAA/TAAU to figure it out

Nvidia has some kind of TTS system but IIRC it requires Windows 11 (for VM GPU passthrough?) so I never really looked into it.
Also maybe: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
Coqui took a bit too much memory and was a bit too slow for me to like it when I was doing some TTS stuff. e: also it is not at all user friendly, it's dev-focused

This looks incredibly promising, thanks for sharing! Would be a great way to have GPU sharing in a homelab situation without needing to either buy in to NVIDIA's vGpu ecosystem or wait for Intel to provide SRIOV support for Arc-based GPUs.
