I am not forgetting Apple, i just dont care. My concern is PC gaming. 8x at 4GB means streaming games especially like Wolfenstein get hammered. The 4GB 1650 super does not because it is 16x, and swapping from memory is faster. The 8x cannot handle it well.

I went with an RTX 2060 for $230. * Big grin * Gigabyte 3 fan OC model. I couldnt pass it up. Been superb so far. No way I was gonna be gouged by either company.

Prices were massively inflated at that point in time. They still have not got back to "regular levels", but getting there.

Absolutely not discounting that you can always clock the super as well.

2060 KO is knocking on the supers door, so much so that I would just overclock it and be done.

I saw that the reviews were up AFTER I commented, so the. I added the note. I am surprised the 5600 beats the 2060.. so i need to read reviews at lunch.

I just dont see how the 5600 xt can compete at Thai price point anymore with this Nvidia move. You would have to be blind to pick the 5600. And frankly.. if considering the 5600 or 2060 now, you should be looking at the 5700 which last time I looked you could get one for $299. Note that I...

I'm not sure either, but I know I bought my wife a better car; sent my kid to the gym; bought myself a better car; bought a house etc. I'm happy I didn't spend money on a top end card that is clearly about twice the price it should be. Yeah, my 270x sucks, but it will do for free till I as a...

So. Faster than a regular 2060 even running at the same speed. 300 bucks, so leaves the RX 5600 XT even with a speed boost with nowhere to go (and bear in mind that that speed boost is only on more expensive AIB 5600s. Right now, anything below the 5700 is a bad purchase with AMD. Nvidia have...

The 5500's are a product without a market IMO. 5500 XT 4GB... scuppered by any game that might use over 4gb, thanks to the cost saving AMD did by using only PCI-E 3.0 X8 instead of X16. X8 on a PCI-E 4.0 board is fine, but who is buying a budget GPU with an expensive X570 board? The 5500 XT...

Had the 5500 xt been one of two things: 1) Cheaper or, 2) The full fat compliment of CU's (That they bizarrely gave to only Apple). Then it would have been worth it. As it stands, the prices are too high, and for some crazy reason they have priced the cards against their own, instead of...

GTX 1070 ? How did you get that out of this review? Because the vast majority of people buying cards don't research, but know the nvidia name/advertisting or are directed to it by store employees. Most purchasers are not enthusiasts. They are basically BOSE buyers, who just buy without...

The weird thing is, there are some totally different reports on this. Some say it's loud, others say it is very quiet. I think this will come out in the wash...

This was a stand in halo product whilst waiting for Navi. They needed something to show, and it is very clear they didn't want to do this given they got rid of a guy for trying to release it to start with... but then did so anyway. It is the pinnacle of what can be achieved on Vega right now...
