Not surprised the uplift isnt as good on the 7000's vs the 9000's but the same was seen using transformer vs cnn dlss. The important part is being able to use lower quality upscaling as low as performance on FSR4 which often isnt worth it PQ wise on FSR3.1 or lower.

For all mankind S3 and 4. Like the reboot of Battlestar Galactica I thought Moore jumped the shark a bit. I still like it as an alternate history of the space programs but the drama at times got a bit much. I liked the story arcs of some characters tho like Margo and Sergei. Wondering if S5 will...

Theres a preview driver with more FSR4 support here as well: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-FSR-TECH-PREVIEW.html

Many thought patch 2.2 was to be the last but no, another one, patch 2.3, is due June 26. Not much info here other than its coming and details at a later date: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=t_SENc98vkI&si=xJKGqtse35rGY4yh&t=3621 Might try the game one last time after that.

Ya if its a die shrink like Vega 7 was to the Vega 64 it could give a good perf boost and would make sense if navi5 is delayed to end of 2026. 4090/5080 range of perf would make it a decent high end offering. Or if not a die shrink due to best nodes taking up all AI pro chips maybe a dual 9700xt...

Might be the case where the BW is overkill for the mid range gpu... Id read Navi 5, or Udna 1, was just around the corner so Navi 4 was a short lived gen due to chiplets issue that was expected to be fixed for Navi 5.

Sinners. Really well done up til the ending which I thought wasnt quite sticking the landing... musical numbers and soundtrack was cool.

I guess June 5th is just the WHQL of FSR4? And the Redstone part is later as they said second half of 2025... Kinda disappointed theres not much for the 7000's tho they did earlier say some version of fsr4 would come out for them. Will try to see the Computex stream later as the live one was...

Computex AMD presentation showcased FSR4 'Redstone' which adds a slew of AI benefits. But for Radeon 9000 only: https://www.techpowerup.com/337062/amd-announces-fsr-4-availability-date-and-project-redstone

A Billion? https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-6-development-began-in-earnest-in-2020-following-the-massive-success-of-red-dead-redemption-2-take-two-says Im sure half of that is producer exec producer wages... How do you spend a billion on one game.

Yep very good best thing since Empire Strikes Back. Its not a swashbuckler but as a spy political thriller its about as good as it gets in the SW universe. Rumor was they intended a season 3 but condensed it into S2. Too bad. Will be the only non movie SW series I grab on 4k.

Ooo cool I still run a polaris.

Speaking of bugs got the new bios which is widely released for AM4 and AM5 that fixes some security issues and also new chipset driver done today... Seems to run fine with it done so far. Had to redo the ram oc's as per usual tho with a new bios...
