I used the odyssey neo G9 for a little over a year and got very used to its curvature. I think large format 32:9 really needs an aggressive curve to feel good in prolonged use. Not sure how the variable curvature here will feel over time. It's a really immersive experience for a select few...

will wait for Steam release

Disagree. This is a pointless release. Brings nothing new to the table and does not warrant a generational name change. The best thing that could be said about this is that it's a small discount on the 13900KS. But this is just a rebrand of an existing SKU with a bigger number on the box.

"Like Nvidia, but worse"... AMD's motto

I do not like this dystopian future GPU market we are in where "new" generations of GPU offer absolute bare minimum price/performance improvements and the manufacturer asks us to kiss their boots if there are even any improvements there at all. AMD and Nvidia working hard to permanently anchor...

Gotta get people ready so Nvidia can sell RTX 5090s somehow

All these GPUs are a joke. We are returning to a much older era where it's true that to match or beat a console gaming experience, you have to spend several times more money than a console costs. AMD and Nvidia should be ashamed for releasing such greedy tone-deaf products, and reviewers need...

Xbox Series X or Playstation 5 This card is a dud

lol "highly recommended" This card is a joke without a $100 price cut and recommending it to anyone at $400 is really, really funny. Ngreedia needs to do better.

Would love to know how this CPU does in Hogwarts Legacy and Witcher 3 remastered with maxed out settings + ray tracing.

I'm really confused about this game. It looks worse than a lot of older games, but has worse performance too... The game doesn't seem to run well on PS5 either according to digital foundry, so this just looks like a bad engine/game.

I haven't understood anything AMD has done for over 10 years. Their last truly competitive top end product was the HD 7970. But they keep trying to play "me too" with their marketing and pricing, as if they can compete with Nvidia's top products. The market recognizes this for the obvious...

Yup. This is obviously a $500 GPU, and the XTX and 4080 are $700 GPUs. But greedy corporations are gonna greed I suppose. It's a shame, and this move makes NO sense from AMD, who really need a good generation of GPUs to regain market share. Not gonna happen at these price points. I guess...

It's pretty disgusting that both AMD and Nvidia are price gouging everyone horribly so that their most insanely overpriced products are the ones with the most "value". I hope these rot on shelves alongside the 4080.

I get what you're saying, but I don't fully agree. The GPU market has been pretty consistent for 10 years that high end GPUs are available between $500-700. GPUs costing $1k+ have always been premium products with sky high pricing only justified by the fact that they were the best. Until now, no...
