Too add to this RDNA 4 was rumored to be a very small increase over rdna3, so small that somewhere even questioning that the 4mm Navi chips in the works weren't even predicted to beat the 7900xtx
It's the latter (or at least foreseeable future). You would not believe how badly RDNA3 did as far as actual sales numbers for prebuild desktops. Not to mention high end volume is so small, way smaller than gamers think.
It's rather ironic we're discussing this now because I was hounded by a few posters, one in particular, when I mocked the hysteria surrounding NVIDIA's inability to sell the RTX 4000 series, and ultimately made my position quite clear.
Post links to 2020 for me but RTX 40 sales were very soft after launch. They didn't surpass RTX 30 until less than a year ago. But that's down to RTX 30 excess in the channel, not AMD. AMD's best selling SKU in several years is the 6700 due to a strong position at Walmart and some CPU discounts.
As I said then...NVIDIA is doing just fine.
Nvidia as a whole yes, great Consumer GPU segment, so so in terms of growth even though share of TAM is great.
Yes, that would be the home to the RTX 4000 series. Market share is great. Exactly as I predicted.
Why would you use a bluetooth dongle if you are connecting the controller to the PC with a USB cable? You resort to hardwiring if bluetooth is giving you issues, or if you want to minimize latency (something competitive online gamers usually desire, and your Dualsense has among the lowest latency of all measured controllers on PC).

Are you playing on steam? I use a PS4 controller with a wireless adapter and it works great on every game. I know Xbox controllers are pretty much the standard on PC though since it is a simple plug and play.
Just to be clear. I connect the dual sense via Bluetooth and I play from my couch.Why would you use a bluetooth dongle if you are connecting the controller to the PC with a USB cable?

Have you tried using DS4Windows to resolve your stability issues?
DS4Windows - Tool to Use PS4/PS5 Controller on Windows PC
DS4Windows is a gamepad input mapper and virtual emulator designed to connect, use and customize your PS4/PS5 Controller on Windows 10/11 PC.
For some reason sony never bothered to make a wireless adapter for the dual sense.
A 1m-2m long extension cable for a wireless mouse? I'm totally lost. Wireless mice come with a USB adapter (usually the size of a modern thumb drive) that plugs into the computer. Why would the adapter need a cable? That USB adapter is what communicates with the controller. It has a wireless transmitted built into it. Using this is preferable to bluetooth because there is a lower latency, and a stronger broadcast signal. The downside is it drains the battery of the connecting device-- the mouse or in this case the controller-- faster than bluetooth because the protocol consumes more power. This is what those look like-- you can see it plugged into the laptop below:
Yeah, I came to the same conclusion in my second paragraph.
Have you seen the new Wi-FI connectors that will be implemented by the motherboard vendors for the upcoming X870 motherboards? Gigabyte for example will have a simple plug. Other vendors will have similar to the MSI but it will just be a magnetic snap-on.Yeah, I came to the same conclusion in my second paragraph.
I didn't realize they made standalone bluetooth adapters in this form factor. I was more used to seeing it with some of the add-in WiFi network cards; usually the ones that are PCIe cards, and the cord attaches to a more robust antennae that puts out a higher gain for the network. Although maybe that's what he's using, some of those combine bluetooth with the WiFi. Didn't realize there were bluetooth-only USB adapters like this. Example:
In my experience, the Playstation controllers work flawlessly, but I haven't bought a Dualsense, I've just used some of my DS4 controllers from my PS4. I still use DS4Windows, but I don't need it if the game I'm playing is on Steam or the Xbox app. I'll have to try it with an Epic game. I'm M+K for most games by default, obviously.
Nevertheless, the Xbox controllers are the best option, Microsoft builds them specifically for Windows/gaming integration, now, and they're Xinput by default on top of that. Best of all is if you get the old 2.4GHz adapter. Unfortunately, they seem to have stopped making that device because the newest Xbox controllers all have bluetooth built into the controller natively, but that's sucks because fuck bluetooth. But there are still some
third party sellers that sell it new-- allegedly new, anyway. I'm kind of skeptical since the Microsoft store itself hasn't had them in stock for years.
My mouse came with a cable to put the USB dongle in. I have a Logitech g305:
Gotcha. A wireless extender. That's sort of a weird inclusion. I hadn't paid close enough attention to unboxings to know Logitech was packaging that with any of their wireless mice.
I had not, but I'm unclear. What exactly is it combining that isn't already combined?
Instead of having to twist the connector to secure it like in the pic you posted, they will either snap on magnetically and just plug in like Gigabyte version
