To the moooon!

A lot to unpack here and 1.5 hours. I've flicked through a few times and keep learning things. It's a great watch to nerd out on and to have a break from the "fAkE fRaMeS" parroting on the internet. Sounds like a lot the uplift is going to be tech and architectural rather than pure shader and core counts. It's the same node as Ada and if you think of cores on a die like letters on a piece of paper, in order to get more letters you either need to decrease the font size or increase the paper size. In this case the paper size has been increased. The new DLSS models are the first major overhaul of them since they were introduced on Turing so this generation is going to lay the groundwork for future NVIDIA generations.




And this is why I've been holding off my Alan Wake 2 + DLC replay until I get my hands on one of these

My OC 1060 still going strong

Hardware Unboxed. One of the biggest hardware reviewers but has a history discarding any technology that isn't raw compute and behaving petulant on twitter.

Steve loves the sound of his own voice!

I do appreciate their very comprehensive motherboard round ups/comparisons though.

I won't need to buy one anyway since I'm gonna win the rtx5090 nvidia build giveaway on reddit

Their reviews are definitely comprehensive and I'll always watch them, I just have to skip whenever he starts inserting his own opinions. I refuse to take purchashing advice from anyone who gets their stuff for free. I'm sure I could make a bingo card and start with Steve crapping on price to perf as well as RT (he's a broken record at this point) and any DLSS feature. However I'm sure he'll be sticking a 5090 into his personal rig to play Fortnite at first opportunity.

Also where you been? Getting your BG3 tan?

For anyone coming from 30 series and older then none of this matters as there will be mega gains, but not so much for the frequent updaters.

just ran the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark on ultra settings on my current PC for the lols (been waiting since release to play it on a new PC, got gifted it this Christmas)... even with FSR turned on it tops out at around 11fps

I’m actually quite the bronzed Aussie at the moment after a couple of weeks camping on the NSW Sapphire Coast.

I thought his ability to make jokes in this situation was pretty remarkable.
