All these protection mechanisms exist for good reasons. These board makers are trying their hardest to take the Darwin Award from Asus.

It is a bit of both, this game suffers from traversal stutters on cards with lower vram. So while it doesn't require all of the vram to function, frame times tanks if it can't load assets into vram. Edit: Just did some testing, with RT off the game will happily sit within 16GB of vram @4k...

BTW with RT on at all, it tanks CPU performance and also the game becomes even more of a VRAM hog. @4K with RT this game peaks at 22GB allocation lol. It feels like there is something wrong with the RT implementation in this game.

The problem is, good luck finding reflective surfaces in this game. Almost all of the water in this game are either muddy puddles or blood. Make sure the RT foliage check box is off, it just tanks performance.

It is closer to Mantle becoming Vulkan.

While you are at it, can you add the GRE to the Horizon FW benchmark as well?

IDK about that, the 7800 XT can OC by a similar % compare to the GRE. So with both OCed, the 2 cards are back to where they were relative to each other.

FYI the 7900 XT in the chart is the reference design. So it is the slowest version of the card out there. It is not like the 7900 XT OC poorly, the AIB cards with higher power limit can pull another 12%+ OC. Of course the XTX can also OC by a similar percentage. Edit: One thing to note is the...

The GCD on Navi31 and 32 are onm TSMC N5. It is the APUs that are on N4. As for the performance, I think it is more likely that AMD over estimated their software teams' ability to utlitise the dual-issue FP32 on RDNA3. Also the reduction in Infinity Cache size does not help. Navi21 has 128MB...

Yes. All the recent APUs are named after birds, Strix is Latin for Owl. The previous ones are Phoneix. It goes to 16CU RDNA3+ from 12CUs RDNA3 that Phoenix has. Even the Zen3+ APUs already has 12 RDNA2 CUs.

TBF Diablo 4 was FUBAR even before Last Epoch launched.

New products sold in 2024 with half baked software, who would have thought? /s

Not sure about MPO, but AMD GPUs defaults to 10-bit color depth even in SDR mode.

It has been at least 5+years. Monitors these days often got released with bugged EOTF tracking or botched local dimming for HDR, or issues with Adaptive-Sync + HDR enabled. These issue are most common with Mini-LED monitors, but OLED is definitely not immune to half baked firmware. On top of...

And back then there were no tax dollars to bail them out of it.
