Same as the CPU counterpart, intel is currently giving out huge discount on Xeon for whoever consider the epyc server CPU.

Also people were happy since they saved quite a lot, but totally forgot the meltdown, spectre, and foreshadowe vulnerability on intel cpu

Real time ray tracing isn't Nvidia exclusive, it's just AMD didn't push the tech hard enough.

Let just hope amd can gather enough resources to strike back with navi next year,
Else one will need to exchange a kidney just for 4k60fps ray tracing gaming with rtx 3080.

The reviews are already out on majority of tech site.

If i recall correctly, they demode Realtime Ray tracing only at 1080p at ~30fps, DLSS +RT at 4K60FPS is a pipe dream bro, at current state.

Depends on game lah, Shadow of the Tomb Raider really pushing my CPU hard, all cores goes to 100% max and FPS down, in the town area...
I don't ahve chance to test on AMD R5/7 as still waiting for Zen 2, ima stuck at R3 1300x
While some old game like Doom 2016 can easily achieve 140fps on 1440P with my puny quad cores.

the demo is in the steam, https://store.steampowered.com/app/671210/F..._PLAYABLE_DEMO/

You would have disliked it even more if you got the game on first day, it runs like dog turd and most of the nvidia users had trouble playing the game.
Just run the game today and looks like they fixed the performance issue.

The performance hit still present on Kuwaq Yaku and the hidden city, due to CPU bound, I need to upgrade my cpu soon.

lol, it would sold out within a day, desperate cheaters everywhere
be vigilant

There's always a multigpu option, one handle the rasterization, one dedicated to Ray tracing.
Moar way to milk customer lol

yes yes yes,
RTX and DLSS already added via latest patch.
Kinda late but still nice too see the dev delivered.

Radeon has been usng RX for a while, then suddenly the nvidia decided comes up with RTX because of their realtime race tracing,
just look at AMD mobo line up, the chipset naming is more confusing, the only difference is AMD chipset does not use Z as prefix.

The naming hasn't been confirmed, it's all from rumor mill site like wccftech, that's how they earn ads by spreading rumor.

Rememer how people call the Turing GPU? GTX 11xx.

At least read a bit before proceed

I tried the file, and it wouldn't work because im using RX Vega

Damn, I hope msi Singapore will do the same, I lost the damn tiny sticker months ago

One hot card, it use aluminium block instead of those high performance fin type heatsink.

Typical high performance heat sink will look like this

Salvaging a silicon with minor defects is nothing new,
People should be happy that, the smol company, AMD is still able to complete with 2 chip giant, although not in every segment.
and some poor folks like me still can afford an AMD gaming PC without selling of my kidney, or my other body parts to some other evil corporation, lol

For highend GPU, they kinda shoot themselves in the foot, large die generally hard to produce, and HBM2 increased the cost, plus limited availability, shop jacked up the price ect.
Also don't expect the high end GPU to be cheaper, and another thing is, Vega has untapped power (NGG fast path, RPM, ect), i don't think any game is actually utilizing it, except the Vulkan where Vega and lower end tier will shine.

A lot of potential wasted, if AMD keep baking these features into GPU, may be they will get utilized somewhere in the future

Don't dream bro, cheapest 2080ti here is SGD 1778, Zotac,
You can only hope for 2080.

Try to tune the casing fan speed within BIOS, i believe most mobo supports it,
as for GPU fan, you can try MSI Afterburner, by default the fan curve is tuned for silent mode rather than performance which might sounds like jet engine to some user.

You probably need Afterburner beta, as stable version might not work with nvidia latest GPU driver.
