That's usually referred to as "GPU limiting". That's why CPU tests, even for gaming performance, are best focused on framerates at lower resolutions where the GPU isn't a bottleneck. The AMD processors actually enjoy an even larger multicore performance advantage over the Intels, especially the 9th Gen i5/i7's that aren't hyperthreaded. What this means is that right now, for games at 4K which aren't as demanding, or in the future, if you upgrade your GPU to one that isn't a bottleneck, you can expect AMD's Zen 3 processors to output an even greater framerate advantage at those resolutions, not a lesser one.Oof disappointing. Yeah AMD seems to have the advantage over flagship Intel processors. Unfortunately they don't have stock on any AMD Cpus with 3090 GPU packages.
The article on Toms Hardware mentions the difference in FPS becomes negligible at higher resolutions. I.e. over 1080p the fps is carried by the GPU.
I play on a 65" 4k tv so maybe I wouldn't be losing much fps if I went with intel 9-10850
That's why with Custom PC builders like CyberpowerPC, iBuyPower, CLX, and others, there's a game of picking the best value in any given component slot, and while there is an elasticity to your options, you're always more limited than if self-building unless you are willing to pay premiums that don't make sense. So it goes.
Maybe the best deal I've seen all week. The PSU is adequate, nothing great, slotted as "Tier C" by @LukeSavenije at LTT on specification because there is little reviewer info available, but that's a spectacular deal for effectively +$35 (the case is $90 at Newegg right now). The Cullinan MX case launched with an MSRP of $149 in November 2017, btw, and is known for excellent airflow:
- Rosewill Cullinan RGB ATX Case (includes 4x120mm RGB fans)
- Rosewill Lepton 700W Gold Semi-Modular PSU
$125
You reap the deal by going to the case's page. On the page you'll see "Extra Savings: Promotion Available", and you pick the Lepton 700W from the 10 promotions:
Rosewill ATX Mid Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Tempered Glass, Supports 360mm GPU/360mm AIO Liquid Cooling, 4 x 120mm RGB LED Pre-Installed Case Fans with Remote Control - CULLINAN MX RGB
Nvidia announces the $399 RTX 3060 Ti —and we’ve tested it
At $399 this thing absolutely shits on the value of the RX 6800 at its $579 MSRP (when it becomes available and actually reaches this price).
*Note: the Memory Clock here is quoting Ampere's GDDR6 bandwidth. That's not what I'm used to seeing quoted under that label. More traditionally speaking, the Memory Clock is 1750 MHz for both (which translates to an effective transfer rate of 14 Gbps since it is GDDR6.
The 3DMark gives a generally accurate idea of relative gaming power:
Although in the rare case you can turn on DLSS 2.0, a list that is growing over time, the 3060 Ti suddenly stomps the RX 6800 out (even in Watch Dogs which was a title where the RX 6800 otherwise enjoyed an inordinately large advantage):
I have no clue what the fuck AMD is doing. They got a little high on themselves. They must have had lingering beer goggles from their Zen 3 celebration, and mistook Huang Jensen rolling up in his NVIDIA-embossed leather jacket for an Intel executive prior to their RDNA 2.0 launch, because their GPUs are a bit of a joke at the prices they're asking. Memo to Lisa: you're still the far-trailing underdog in the GPU game.
No, that's actually one of the best results for DLSS 2.0 yet seen.
I'm curious about this HBM2 standard vs GDDR6. It has twice the memory bandwidth and lower power usage so shouldn't it offer better potential performance and latency? Maybe something to watch for in future models.
Appreciate it, thanks. You're right that it seems like a one off. I haven't seen any other GPUs with it.
Doesn't matter how much memory you can push out if you don't have the speed to bus it. GDDR6X is the tip of the spear.
