I mean, it tells you right in the name it’s zen 2. The actual issue is it’s 4 cores despite being ryzen 5. The 7320u also has 4 cores.

I remember a friend deciding between the 9600k and 2600x since the 3600 hadn’t come out yet. The 9600k came out like 9 months earlier.

am4 is going to be the 1080ti of platforms

We call that a “sandy bridge”.

Plot twist: the roadmap doesn’t have a timeline.

Dual cores chug a lot even in basic tasks like using a browser or opening the file explorer. I would recommend 4 cores minimum.

How? There is no chip that’s 30% faster while maintaining the same wattage.

If you are using upscaling, then it’s not 4K anymore. Nothing wrong with rendering at a lower resolution. I think cleaned up 1080p looks good enough for me, I wouldn’t call that 4K.

RTX 4080 is 50% Faster than RTX 3080.

The msrp is 71% higher too.

If AMD gets their shit together, PS6. If not, the PS7 generation.

It is optimized. That’s the whole point, the 5700xt doesn’t support the optimizations.

I’m not completely sold on the art direction either. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t appeal to me as strongly as other games. I think Control is more attractive.

30 fps with medium settings at 1080p isn’t too far away from what consoles do, which target 1260p instead. Not sure why thinks it’s “unplayable”.

And mesh shaders do help, seeing how the pascal titan delivers a truly unplayable framerate.

It’s not a currency.

Because motion artifacts is the main downside of playing at a lower resolution. The constant pixel shimmering, ghosting and unstable image sucks ass and DLSS greatly alleviates it.

FSR2 still has all the visual artifacts which makes upscaling from a lower resolution an all around worse option for AMD cards. Even native resolution FSR has them.

People would rather play and render at 1080p and use DLSS to upscale to 4K than render at 1440p and upscale with FSR. That’s rendering 81% more pixels and still outputting a worse result. The discrepancy is big enough to add in some RT options and still come out ahead in both visuals and performance.
