Tom is great with PS hardware and right now until his source flies to close to the sun I would take anything Tom says as gospel
I keep seeing this "card" thing being used to refer to CPUs and APUs. They are not cards.
Bingo. So now with each games not hitting 8K they are going to focus on that and not the new RT capabilities. They did a similar thing with PS5 with focusing on Tflops and not the new RT stuff (which they did talk about with the true RDNA2 of XSX). I remember them laughing and mocking when talking about possible RT on PS5 games based on Cerny presentation (Haha RT only for audio stuff etc.). Rince and repeat the good old strategies.I swear they're hyper-focusing on the 8K (which is laser etched into the XSX APU, btw, and on both system's retail boxes) just so they can shit on it later because we all know this is just a marketing footnote and all to push reconstruction tech further. Nothing more. Most definitely not for native.
Focus on the more robust RT and other rumors.
Bigger problem is that he likes to do 3 videos on same subject giving 0 new info but making clickbait title. Also he was wrong with almost all his "leaks" about ps5.RGT main problem is throwing everything he hears into videos without any real verification and yeah of course everything comes from what he hears and he doesn't need to keep reminding us
That's why I always mute his videos and just skip to wherever he shows someone's tweet (which is basically all he ever does) or pulls up a powerpoint list of details (essentially copying MLID's format lol). The rest of his videos are almost always filler bullshit. He obviously pads out his videos to get them past 10 minutes, probably for algorithm/ad purposes (I guess you get more ads on 10 minute+ videos?).
. I'll definitely be changing ecosystems *again*.Yeah but considering amds absolutely woeful state in rt tech, i wonder how much performance we can expect especially since they are going with a relatively small chip with 60cus. How close do you think the pro would stack up to a 3090?
Anybody that makes a new video, to talk about the `leak he last leaked`.... cant be taken seriously in my book.
RDNA4 possible layout.
Maybe hard to understand.
So for PS5 Pro if using RDNA4 chiplets, it'll have one AID with 3 SEDs + 1 Zen4 CCD.
The bigger jump in the CPU makes sense if they want this to be a 60fps box for current 30fps quality mode games.
A GPU clock of 2.7ghz would make for a 18.66TF machine without the dual issue computing thrown into the equation.
A 6800xt level of performance would accomplish basically nothing meaningful, its rt performance is so lackluster that it wont be able to distinguish itself in any real way, maybe a boost from 900p in demanding ue5 games to 1080p would basically be it which is basically pointless.
So far based on the rumors the main selling points of the pro are significant rt/ml improvements so yeah asking better rt tech than rdna2 isnt exactly reaching...considering the pro is alluded to be picking features from rdna3.5/4. Even excluding rt a 6800xt is simply not going to provide a worthwhile upgrade. If it even matches a 3080 in rt that would still be a massive improvement over the 6800xt in rt for e.g.
My previous calculation accounted for 1 WPG disabled per shader engine, for a total of 54 CUs active, which is what makes the most sense to expect atm.
I'm not holding my breath on the RT performance. RDNA3 still has worse RT performance then Turing. Basically still behind a 4 year old GPU.
Custom Cerny Sauce
Nope, but the Pro GPU could beat some of RDNA 3 cards on RT if it's plucking RT features from RDNA 4 as rumoured.
I cant help but think you're assuming the pro is simply going to be an off the shelf 7700xt or something. Whats to say the pro doesn't pick gpu features from rdna4 which might have rt tech on par with ampere etc, since it could be launching by late 2024. I get the skepticism since amd has been lackluster to say the least but it seems you are discounting the remote possibility that amd can even match ampere 2 generations beyond its launch..
If the famous RT patent is for PS5 Pro then the baseline (fidelity mode) could be at least 2-3 RT effects and maybe only 1 effect for the framerate mode.
Ah yes the hyperbolic sarcasm...because the gpu arch for the console from the same year its launching in warrants a comparison with a supposed rdna6.
Well im being more realistic(keeping expectations in check), rdna3 was barely an upgrade and in rt suites is still behind turing so, I think they will have to prove they can achieve ampere levels before I give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to significant advancements in their gpu segment. They have shown absolutely the bare minimum desire to compete and invest in r&d and have focused solely on their cpu side past few years but I dont think even they are so incompetent that they cant match ampere with a 2-generation leap.
You know real people that might actually know, I think he just knows a guy that knows a guy that works at AMD.I really can't watch him when he leads off about a lot of rumors that are circulating from him and "others"
I beat him by a few days on the original PS5 Pro talk and when he said it was dead I said all along it was still coming, now he wants credit?
Why not? Cerny reference back in the PS4 days that developers didn't want ray tracing.
