Have we found out exactly why AMD delayed the launch? Related to the Windows/Linux disparity?

Is this the even worse version of "applications just need to be updated for Zen 5" ?

I see some people are following Intel’s lead and having their own processor meltdowns.

Don’t recall seeing physical damage like this from CPU overvolting. Guessing it’s a physical defect in those particular CPUs.

In what world are reviewers immune from the game/software/driver bugs that MS, Nvidia, AMD, game developers, etc cannot even get right? As I type this there is a current thread on Ryzen 7000 issues with games and Windows 11: (2) Question - Windows 11 hobbling Ryzen 7000 performance | AnandTech...

Wait, did the Intel chips gang up on the AMD chip? That's not fair!

There's literally an entire section of the video discussing this. It's 3090 vs 4090 and whatever particular driver overhead issue is going on.

Why wouldn't you compare 7900x? and 13900x? They cost about the same.

Not a relevant comparison. If I can hit 120 fps why do I need DLSS3 in the first place? I’m talking about 60 without DLSS3 versus 120 with DLSS3. People are going to choose the latter because visual smoothness is more noticeable than input latency. “Soap opera effect” isn’t relevant either...

Exactly, Nvidia is measuring something different than user perception of improved frame rate versus latency. Blind test of user experience as in 1) can the user detect when DLSS3 is on and 2) if so, does the user prefer DLSS 3 and the latency hit versus no DLSS 3? My assumption is that...

Pretty silly to criticize Intel for not addressing a product that left NDA just 24 or so hours before. Especially when AMD was a wuss and didn’t even address their own 5800x3d.

Doesn’t tell us any about whether users will detect the difference in input latency over the visual difference in frame rate. There are going to be situations where the drawbacks of DLSS 3 outweigh the benefits (and why would you need it for things like Valorant or CS when you can easily hit...

Eyes are sensitive and the body is relatively slow. Human reaction times are typically more than 100ms. Add in the fact that most gaming where input times matter is still subject to network and server latency. The improvement in visual smoothness clearly dominates the effect on input. You...

Not buying it. There aren’t a lot of scenarios where 8ish ms of input latency is detectable to the user. But even normal people see and feel the impact of going from 60 to 120 fps.

Point of clarification: does v-cache only mean 3d cache or could it include additional cache on the base apu layer? It’s not clear to me why you would use the former when you need to produce a separate apu anyway and stacking would add to the cooling challenge of a mobile part. Plus AMD does...
