That’s an attractive price that will last maybe 2 GPU upgrades.

Don’t buy the 9950x3D because the 3D v-cache is only on one set of CCX.

It’s comforting to find other people who have a strong hate on for frame generation. I person have no interest in upscaling, but frame generation is a conjob. It does nothing for latency, so players so more frames but the same input lag. That sounds discombobulating, or disjointed.

5070, yeah. If it had 16 gigs, that’s what I would buy, but I’m thinking of trying to get the money for a 5070 Ti. The 5080 is not a good valie.

On your 4th point, that’s what hapoened with the top Turing series cards. Definitely better performance, but costed more, so people had no interest in them. Espcally with the performance of Pascal.

To me, it sounds like you are parroting.

You misinterpreted everything I said.

I wish everybody paid closer attention to input latency with frame generation.

I understand your reasoning about DLSS. I don’t agree but allis well. For 4K, you will need a 6090, and a 7090, etc.

Why the FE over an AIB card?

I am of the opinion that DLSS and FSR is an admission of failure by GPU engineers that they are not capable,–so far,-- to design a GPU that does 4K 160fps with psycho raytracing on, zero upscaling, zero frame generation.

I do believe that they are wrking on it, but nVidia/AMD demand gimmicks in the meantime to continue selling GPU’s.

I suspect that the 5090 will be the first card to do 1440p with psycho raytracing at 144 fps without DLSS enabled.

There’s something about Reflex 2 that is bothering me or concerning me, but I have no clue what it is.

I don’t use DLSS. I have never tried a game that has DLSS enabled. I like to max out path tracing/raytracing but disabld DLSS.

I woyld guess that the 5070 Ti is at tue very least 15% better than 4070 Ti. Maybe some games 12%, other games 20% better.

The new NVENC in the 50 series is also a very strong point of interest for me due to frequently using OBS.

They should strike for a full year without working, that will teach Microsoft.

Make a Core Ultra 9 and a Core Ultra 7 without any E-cores and people will buy. And not disabled e-cores but no physical e-cores on the die.

Every and any hardware manufacturer can or has.

I will take Intel being sold or going under over cronyism and corporate welfare.

I assume that you’re at least halfway joking about backdoors in Intel.

If Intel can’t pay their own bills from Intel’s money, they can be sold to a private company, file for chapter 11, or go out of business.
