Honestly even in Cyberpunk 2077 I can often not tell when ray tracing is on or path tracing and if one looks better than the others. They just look different! I've not seen any game so far where ray tracing actually makes the game look and feel more realistic, it just ends up looking different...

The 6800 is the better purchase, unless you plan to stream in which the AV1 encoder is much better and worth the added cost. That and the 7700XT is more energy efficient!

Its not that crazy to be honest and its not an unprecedented thing either. The Fury X for example had huge spikes up to 500W, this happens for a lot of gpu's much higher spikes of power. Generally speaking 300W is not a big deal, its 3 light bulbs, your hair dryer uses much more energy...

AMD is doing amazing in the compute department and AI department. They are selling expensive workstation and AI GPU's that have 1000% margins. They just don't need to fight tooth and nail against Nvidia in the desktop space. AMD are also doing amazing with their custom soc's for xbox and...

I don't see a reason why they would abandon the high end when the biggest margins are there! The issue with AMD this generation is the price, they've got cheaper silicon compared to Nvidia, yet their pricing has been extremely bad, especially at launch. Imagine the RX 7900XT launching at $800...

I still think the 7800XT is the better purchase unless you are super into RT gaming, for $100 less you are getting 8% slower performance, but more vram, dp2.1, frame generation on ALL games, more stable and standard pci-e connectors, better software suite and better and more stable drivers. On...

Crysis had REVOLUTIONARY graphics, even today many games don't have the same level of graphical fidelity and technology. Alan Wake looks great, but nothing special, nothing we haven't seen before, nothing that would warrant this level of poor performance! Plus Crysis sold like 10 copies due to...

Don't see the point of this CPU, barely 1% faster than the 13900k, but way worse power consumption and temperatures!

Take down the whole review and retest all of the GPU's and put a big red label in the top of the new review that the old review was erroneous! LTT type of testing here, it happens to all of course, but the review should have been taken down hours ago! Graphics are okay, nothing special and...

That is just local pricing due to taxes, shipping costs and resellers! I doubt it has anything to do with AMD, probably very little with AIB's as well. Some places its just more expensive to ship to and local taxes and import taxes make the cards much more expensive.

I guess you've done your due diligence then, I have nothing to add! It literally leaves the mobo becoming defective after you've cleaned it, maybe loosened some component or something of that nature, but who knows! Hope you find the cause!

I just remembered, disable automatic restart for windows! Had the same issue long time ago, thought it was hardware, it turns out it was a software error and windows kept automatically restarting whenever it would encounter the error! Go to Control Panel and select System and Security >...

Seems like a CPU issue, you probably didn't apply thermal paste to your CPU properly and it is overheating after a short period of time, within 5 minutes. Take off the CPU, remove any thermal paste on it and on the heatsink and reapply new thermal paste, make sure to hold the CPU in place for...

What in the hell? AMD drivers have been BETTER than Nvidia's for at least the past 5 years! There has been so many issues with Nvidia drivers, from bricking GPU's to massive stuttering issues, to black screen of deaths, to not rendering properly in video playback, etc... Nvidia have also been...

Why would anyone buy a RX 6800XT over the faster and better 7800xt? Again, why do people only look at the absolute cheapest price of the RX 6800XT? That is very misleading and not the standard, most RX 6800XT have been at $550 for months, its literally AFTER the 7800XT launched that some prices...
