The Performance Uplift of RDNA 3... (Part 2)

Ever since I performed the comparative analysis of the 60 compute unit (CU) RX 7800 XT with the RDX 6800 one of the background thoughts running around my head has been the question on whether Navi 33 - the monolithic version of RDNA 3 -  does or doesn't have an uplift over the equivalent RDNA2 design.

Since I purchased one each of the RX 6650 XT and RX 7600 XT for the PS5/Pro simulations, I now have the tools available to do the full analysis of RDNA 2 versus RDNA 3! So, let's jump in...

Analyse This: Simulating the PS5 Pro... (Part 2)

It's the power of...

The Playstation 5 Pro talk is really hogging the headlines but I really wasn't 100% happy with my prior look/simulation of the device. So, I'm back here, today, putting together a quick look at a simulated PS5 base versus a simulated PS5 Pro - with PC parts!

As a side benefit of this, we also get a chance to look at the effect of changing GPU architecture and a potential sly look at an upcoming blogpost where I look at the differences between monolithic RDNA3 versus RDNA 2.

So, let's jump in...

How Powerful is the PS5 Pro?

In part two of my Playstation 5 Pro fever articles, we take another look at the power the console will likely bring to the table. One of the most common discussions that's surrounded the announcement of the Playstation 5 Pro has been the performance of the GPU, with some likening it to an RX 7800 XT or even cards on Nvidia's side of the aisle.

The reality is simultaneously simple and a bit more complicated than just a comparison to a single desktop card.

So, let's take a look!

AMD's New Reality...

Last time, I pontificated on the current situation surrounding two of the gaming industry greats. Today, I'm going to address very recent comments on their current strategies relating to the consumer (client) graphics card market...

It may not be what you think it is...

Is the PS5 Pro really equivalent to an RTX 4090? (No!)

Playstation 5 Pro fever is nearing its zenith, with speculations becoming rife and consumers beginning to fantasize about what, exactly, the new console will be capable of. This is a fun look at some of the recent nonsense coming out of the Twittersphere on the subject:
