AMD Navi 21 XT Seemingly Confirmed to Run at ~2.3, 2.4 GHz Clock, 250 W+
AMD's RDNA2-based cards are just around the corner, with the company's full debut of the secrecy-shrouded cards being set for October 28th. Rumors of high clocks on AMD's new architecture - which were nothing more than unsubstantiated rumors up to now - have seemingly been confirmed, with Patrick Schur posting on Twitter some specifications for upcoming RNDA2-based Navi 21 XT. Navi 21 XT falls under the big Navi chip, but likely isn't the top performer from AMD - the company is allegedly working on a Navi 21 XTX solution, which ought to be exclusive to their reference designs, with higher clocks and possibly more CUs.
The specs outed by Patrick are promising, to say the least; that AMD's Big Navi can reach clocks in excess of 2.4 GHz with a 250 W+ TGP (quoted at around 255 W) is certainly good news. The 2.4 GHz (game clock) speeds are being associated with AIB cards; AMD's own reference designs should be running at a more conservative 2.3 GHz. A memory pool of 16 GB GDDR6 has also been confirmed. AMD's assault on the NVIDIA 30-series lineup should embody three models carved from the Navi 21 chip - the higher performance, AMD-exclusive XTX, XT, and the lower performance Navi 21 XL. All of these are expected to ship with the same 256 bit bus and 16 GB GDDR6 memory, whilst taking advantage of AMD's (rumored, for now) Infinity Cache to make up for the lower memory speeds and bus. Hold on to your hats; the hype train is going full speed ahead, luckily stopping in a smooth manner come October 28th.

And this is with YT compression, IRL the difference is probably massive.
I would rather just lower the details setting than using FidelityFX tbh, it looks too blurry.
solution.
Laave it to Nvidia to bring a backhoe to a job hen all AMD need to bring is a shovel. Might take a little longer but still gonna dig the same hole
Not really agree to that.
That is like saying play with low settings, which I would rather use instead of FidelityFX if I didn't have DLSS and need more FPS.
DLSS is not an upscaling technique, it is an image resconstruction technique. Basically Nvidia train the AI network what the objects looks like in 16K, in game the Tensor cores will recognize those low res objects and restructure them to imitate 16K images.
It is "work smarter, not harder" motto.
if the end results are equal, why do you care so much how it is done ?
Do you care if a race car only has V6 engine but is just as fast as those with V8 or V12 ?
But yes I much prefer pure GPU grunt to get my FPS while I did have Fidelity FX on Im not sure how much difference it made=for performance.
Anyways we can talk againt after CP2077 release :roll:
And the lack of RT that made it "old" since the beginning...launch drivers ? Drivers were terrible until last may, and even today they are far from being very stable.I don't want to have an argue with a fanboy, which clearly you are, so I will cut it short.
I have NO brand loyalty at all.
I have a PC with a Ryzen 3900X and another PC with a 5700XT and the VGA is terrible. Performance and price were good, but drivers made me mad for a whole year. Even today, when the situation improved, sometimes I'm experiencing black screens and freezes.
I am going to give AMD another chance with the new GPU, if it will be a good product, but they have to make it better than the crappy 5700XT...
To be crystal clear, I am a big AMD supporter since the beginning (since AMD K6 200), and I love a lot of ATI cards I bought in the past (9700Pro and 9800Pro being my all time favorites), but that doesn't make me linked to a brand no-matter-what. My main PC is Ryzen based and I'm building another one for my little son Ryzen based too.
I bought a 5700XT because it had a good price (it was ~160€ less than the 2070 Super at the time) and a promise for good performance. But it gave me a lot of issues and I also returned one (hoping it was defective) and restored the PC several times in order to solve the issues. With no success in doing that.
Now I'm waiting for this new generation to get rid of this crappy card and buy something else.
If your experience was better, I'm happy for you. But for sure I'm not alone on the web regarding 5700XT issues...
How could AMD possibly take on Huang, lol.How dare they not run game at a lower resolution but claim the upscaled one.
I've seen Digital Totally Not Shills Getting Exclusive Favourable Previews For Some Strange REason Foundry telling me that if I look at my monitor from another room, I would barely notice it is upscaled! :D
need more circles ?
Some people just have better visual acuity you know :D
You're something else man.
Wait, you will see the real cards shortly...
