-ENDED- AMD Next Horizon Gaming E3 2019 Live Thread

That latency demo, did they say it was G-sync/Freesync or not? Or if that would make any difference?

[yolosnail]

Wendell keeps saying that the stream isn't over when people in his stream chat say they haven't announced the 16 core, I wonder if he's hinting at something

I think it's only about input lag so it shouldn't make a difference.

[TetraSky]

The 5700 is more expensive than the 2060, but it comes with games and has 2 extra GB of VRAM than the 2060...  Along with Anti Lag and other features...

But the XT is cheaper than the 2070 while delivering similar performances....

Eeeh, not bad I guess.
 

Wouldn't be surprised if the Nvidia and Intel products that were compared would get discounted soon to match or have a lower price.

 

And as everyone expected it already, it's not competing against the high end 2080 or 2080ti.

[NumLock21]

So the 5700 is competing with the RTX 2060, that's a huge difference and it can confused some users. In the past the non XT isn't that much slower than the XT version.

Would be smart for them to end with a bang. So far this presentation has been disappointing imo

Yes, blower coolers. Very glad to see those....

ouch

Considering 2070s can be as high as $579, it's still much cheaper than a 2070. It's only $50 cheaper If you buy a mini or a blower.

I'm expecting an Apple style 'One more thing' at the end, but I'm not getting my hopes up

I think it's been long enough since that naming has been used many would actually have no buying experience with it.

Blower coolers still have their place, especially in SFF builds

[Oalei]

is this already like unworthy to watch anymore?

According to Wendell, the show isn't over, not even close (his exact words)

Mostly just depends on what the custom cards will cost. AMD used to be a decent amount cheaper, so being slightly cheaper misses the expectation.

A lot of SFF cases are designed for open air coolers now. Very bad idea to have your primary release cards be these blowers, let AIB put blowers on if they want to.

The thing in the front looked over-sharpened even if it enhanced the hexagons. Not sold on this, if the hexagons should be more visible, why not make them so in game?

Low-res textures that is meant to be sharp but couldn't due to optimisation.

They said it was input to photon, so that would be user action > calculate frame > output frame. Where can they save time that nvidia can't? Gonna have to rewatch that bit afterwards and have a think about it.

[Deus Voltage]

oh god, they're bringing Randy Dickford on stage....

Come on now, that's basically standard for references cards. It's only since this generation that nvidia decided to add a second fan.

 

Not to mention, they have their places in plenty of systems.

That wasn't a resolution problem but a contrast problem. Why not create the asset with more contrast to start with?

[BigDamn]

i hate this borderlands guy... idk why.. i just do...

Well, he also keeps hinting at the 16 core coming so idk if he knows something

Blower keeps it cheap. AIBs will surely throw the price a bit beyond $500 mark when they stick a gazillion fans on it and more RGB than a nightclub.

problem is that most reviews are made with those lousy coolers and leave a worse impresion of the card than it would otherwise
