It's not about AMD literally adding in Nvidia's DLSS upscaler, but rather that AMD needs to deliver an updated FSR2 with an ML image reconstruction algorithm to properly compete. AMD talked up the new ML capabilities integrated into the architecture of the 7000-series, but has yet to deliver any...

It seems like you've got both parts of the equation here, but you haven't put them together yet. In the same way rasterization fidelity improved through boatloads of rendering cheats and other techniques learned by experience, developers and game engines will build up a similar portfolio of...

Are we gatekeeping the term "enthusiast" behind maximum performance potential and nothing else now? It's like a car enthusiast suggesting that "real car enthusiasts" don't care about fuel economy or physical vehicle size. Why would you buy a gigantic V8 truck guzzling 15L/100km over a compact...

If it helps ease your mind a bit, I had an original Corsair H100 in my primary system from fall of 2011 all the way through January 2021 when I did my last re-build and swapped it for an NH-D15S. Well over 9 years of reliable service - pump probably has about 4-5 years of run time on it, and the...

Define the scope of the question to something actually answerable then. What constitutes the pool of games you expect me to base my answer on? What years do you mean by "back then"? How do you define "supported"? Without your answers to those questions, I legitimately can't answer your question...

So... the people who were most likely to actually be using or benchmarking multi-GPU setups then? Not sure what you're implying by calling the lack of support a myth. Unsupported titles would often scale poorly, not at all, or even negatively. Even in supported games microstuttering and frame...

This is absurd news so soon after “unlaunching” the 4080 12GB for exactly the same problem of unreasonable consumer confusion. Just revive the “SE” suffix last used (for consumer cards) in the GTX 560 SE with its cut-down GF114 core. Or LE, or Lite, or whatever else. At the end of the day it’s...

The 2.6GHz Celeron would easily walk over your E7400 at stock. You'd have to overclock it to ~3.3GHz to get on even ground performance wise.

Occasionally driver issues causing games to work better using only a single GPU, etc. Microstutter as well (although the issue has been much alleviated from previous generations.

Crossfire on a single PCB is still crossfire, and comes with any and all potential hassles that might entail.
