Reply to AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / XTX review: 4K performance for less | AMD’s top RDNA 3 GPU manages to beat the RTX 4080 in many games at a $200 lower price. But ray-tracing performance is far behind Nvidia. by chrisdh79

Good performance, but far more than most people are even close to needing.

Until everything is raytraced, performance will just be weird. It can just barely make playable non-scaled on my monitor - I don't have 4k and don't want it - but for everything that's not RT it just grossly overshoots performance. 3440x1440 would be 100s of frames in everything, and my monitor is 75hz... I'm not going to change that out.

So, let's see the 7800 XT and the 4070 what they can do. Though I guess I'll just wait another generation again.

Reply to english teachers and symbolism by mzjolynecujoh

I'm super confused about this. Every text we went through in school was done AFTER reading the text for homework. It might be done in a handful of chapters at once - but if you're doing this type of textual analysis, you'll discuss "can you see anything in this scene" - look in to what themes may be portrayed. Then, you'll go back, once the text is finished and discuss "now that we've read the whole thing, we can look at these paragraphs again - the standing on the hill now clearly is a foreshadowing of his isolation and the snowball is him trying to hold on to innocence. The author sets the tone here, but is not overt about it and we can through reading the rest of the text appreciate these nuances"...

Bad teachers, I guess.

Sounds like something else was wrong than just a nvme being a little warm. Those can run very hot without any issue and chances are anything you're doing on them will be very unlikely to make them get very warm for any extended period of time. There's a reason why they're sold without heatsinks on generally.

Top tier hardware was always quite expensive, not quite as expensive as the last 3 generations, but quite expensive - the late 90s to mid 2010s was actually a bit of an outlier in that regard.

And as you say, the modern hardware lasts for years and years. Back in the day your system was outdated in 6-12 months and 2-3 years down the line you would be lucky if you could even launch a new game.

Even so, the "AAA" titles will run absolutely fine on a far more budget system. There's a reason why GPU reviews hardly include 1080p results - it's not very relevant seeing 400-600 FPS in a graph.Most people have a 1080p or at most a 1440p panel, those will be driven just fine at 60+ FPS on 2-300$ cards at medium-high settings and will continue to do so for years to come.

As for most games I have on my "want to play" list, they're something that hardly make my 5700 XT break a sweat. One of those games I've been playing is literally built on the Quake engine, yes not even the Q3 engine, the first one.
