Yeah, one of the problems with nVidias offerings is the RTX bit, it's kind of hard to factor that in when comparing to someone that doesn't have it. I wonder how much extra power it draws. nVidia doesn't only have better texture compression than AMD, but DLSS 2.0 is bound to help alot aswell. I don't doubt that there was no Big Navi1 because of capacity, especially when you factor in yield. Going from 251 to 380ish mm2 would affect it quite a bit.

My feet and calves has swollen over night, going to have to go to the doctors tomorrow. -.-

@Orogun01 I work for PostNord on the parcel side, I can say that this is very true, something as simple as a printer having some dirt in it can lead to corrupted barcodes. Power outages, equipment breaking down, corrupted files, traffic issues and more can lead to a daisy chain of delays. Also, speaking of Prime; USPS handles prime deliveries aswell https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-usps-rural-packages-deliveries-2020-5?r=US&IR=T -

This is brilliant, and needs a movie.

The fact that they are in bed with Msony is way worries me, consoles has entirely different goals for their gpus than what we have for desktops. I don't have a power/heat constraint like consoles do. I don't want a nVidia gpu, because I really dislike the company and their policies, but I'll gladly hold Jensens hands so he can drop a big fat turd on consoles The biggest problem isn't the 3090, I'd like a card to smash it and I'd pay for it aswell, but if AMD doesn't try to compete at all, well, the 3080 will be ludicrously expensive. Again. A heaping handful of lube will be needed...

0; I really hate the new quote functions, it bugs out for me all the time, I'd prefer to separate it all, but thank you for preemptively using sequenced numbers 1; Yeah, they'll be powerhogs hence the proprietary Molex people has talked about, but do enthusiasts really care? I know I don't really care, unless there's an equally fast card at less power. 2: I don't know how true it is, but I've seen people claim that the nextbox gpu isn't the same gpu as RDNA2 that'll end up on desktop, but a yet slightly more advanced version than what we are getting. I don't really believe it, but at the same time, AMD has no reason to give a **** about desktop since their mindshare is pretty abysmal compared to nVidia. Anyway, the same people has been saying that the chips we're getting aren't going to be as good, but we'll see. 3: Yet they didn't go there, and that's what they can do with a much more advanced node, not really impressive. And while 80CUs would perhaps have more raw performance, if you say count TFLOPS, that doesn't really necessarilly translate to good behavior in games. My Vega 64 is about 10% slower than a 2080ti when it comes to TFLOPS, but when it comes to gaming the 2080ti demolishes the Vega, for several reasons, but among them the higher clockspeed. I think Sony is onto something there with clocking the living **** out of their RDNA2 chips and having fewer of them. 4: Might be right, I see it more like them wanting to punt AMD in the gentlemans parts to show them whos boss, I doubt they're even remotely worried about the competitions that AMD can put up. I think it's more likely that they are trying some strategy to be able to increase prices yet more. 5: This I honestly haven't kept enough tabs on to know anything. 6: There is a difference between hype and leakage levels, true, but beyond Lisa saying we will see RDNA2 in 2020 we don't have any official facts about it. I don't doubt they will lose alot of sales to nVidia just based on the fact that nVidia will have several months of people having access to them, while knowing absolutely nothing about RDNA2.

Better than Naginatas for sure! -
The thing is, if they actually had anything really competitive to show, they'd have shown it by now I think. I doubt they, yet again, have anything to challenge the "3080" equivalent properly. The only thing I'm fairly confident about when it comes to their new cards is that I doubt they will need a proprietary ****ing molex connector.

I gave up hope on Big Navi being worth anything once I realized they're waiting for nVidias move so they could set their prices afterwards, I doubt they'll stand a chance when it comes to performance.

You can, for some games, keep the mods on a separate disk and automatically copy the files with each "deploy".

I lvoe and hate Vortex, it's easy as you say, but if you want to use custom load orders it starts to dig in it's heels.

I'd have gone for the 92X myself.

How could I forget about the earthquakes?! Admittedly, I don't know the intricacies of your taxes, but a rudimentary search and input of my own income tax at about 10% less than I pay now Heh, considering that where I live 86F is blistering heat, the strongest "tornado" we've had was estimated to 160~mph winds and happened in the 80's, one of the most violent storms we've had gusted at 90mph, we shat our britches when we had a magnitude 4.1 earthquake, your weather does come across as quite terrifying. We adopted the Finnish way of raking or forests early on so we haven't had much problems with forest-fires. The snowstorm in 1995 we had here was both some of the best days and worst weeks in my life. A day or two after the storm hit, me and my friends grabbed our snowracers and went to a nearby trail with some stone stairs that led to a park and rode the entire day since school was out. By the end of the day the skis were worn blank by the stone stairs that had started to show, and when I was about to take the last turn nothing happened and I went into one of the handrails. I hit the shin of my right leg into one of the steel T-bars that held the rail to the ground, it hurt like hell and I was squirming a bit on the ground a bit, but it was nothing to the terror I felt when I pulled up the trouser leg and saw bone, sinew, blood and torn skin as I had an open 3inch gash on the leg. All my friends just stood there dumbstruck, except one friend that everyone tormented because she was "slow". She ran for help, her father put me in a pulka/sled and brought me to my father, who drove me to my mother that was on the other end of town, took one gander at it and told my father to drive to the ER. I thought I had felt terror when I saw my own bone and sinew, but that was nothing compared to the terror of going to Hospital. Rambling. I blame the fact that I'm on vacation against my will :<

So hot as hell AND fire tornadoes. Sounds like a lovely place. ಠ_ಠ Why are you people still living there?!
