GDDR6 may not have GDDR7's bandwidth, but that doesn't inherently mean RDNA 4 will be slow.

    Ah I remember the old days when a ram generation lasted longer than two years.

      Yeah, the days of DDR3 and PCIe 3.0 seems like eternity.

        We’d be all hype when they managed to squeeze another hundred megahertz out of it.

        I’m still on PCIe 3. But that’s mostly because changing motherboards is a pain in the ass.

          I’m on PCIe 3 AND DDR3. My Z77 & i7-3770K will NEVER DIE!

          Did I mention I’m also game using the integrated graphics HD4000? Trying to optimize a game for 30fps 720p is already half the fun. Currently OC the shit out of that poor piece of silicone. 4.5Ghz all core (default 3.7} and 1.4Ghz graphics core (default 800Mhz). Imma squeeze every last bit of performance I could.

          I paid for a CPU with Tj Max 105C, you bet Imma run it at 105C

            If that CPU dies it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

      Who needs texture compression or advanced streaming techniques when you can just have all 200GB of data in memory at once?

        For gaming, the improvement in cores matters much more than the memory bandwidth, and for machine learning, more memory is needed desperately, so a new core with more vram, even if it’s not the latest hot shit vram, I would be totally happy with.

    Whatever happened to HBM? I remember it being hyped as the next big thing in memory speeds (I think by AMD), but nobody seems to use it.

      iirc it’s because it’s a lot more expensive compared to normal gddr. It’s still being used in the high end enterprise market.

      Also reliability, hbm2 cards seem to have a higher rate of dying
