AMD’s approach turned out to be more successful: Radeon RX 6800 with 16 GB of memory crushes the GeForce RTX 3070 in many modern games
In the past generation of video cards, AMD adapters were distinguished not only by lower prices relative to direct competitors from the GeForce camp, but also by a much larger amount of memory. It looks like it only took a couple of years for this approach to start paying off. The authors of the Hardware Unboxed channel compared the GeForce RTX 3070 with 8 GB of memory and the Radeon RX 6800 with 16 GB of memory in a number of modern games, and the comparison was not in favor of the Nvidia product.
To begin with, I need to say that if you look at the reviews of these cards at the time of release, then the RX 6800 was only 5-8% faster than the RTX 3070 at resolutions above Full HD. As you can see, in many games that have been released recently, the situation is radically different.
In The Last of Us Part I, the AMD card is 1.5 times faster than the competitor (at 1440p)! Yes, this game on PC has huge optimization problems, but the bottom line is that such results are not only in this game. In Hogward Lagacy, the 1440p difference is almost double, and the image quality on the RX 6800 is simply better. In Resident Evil 4 Remake, the difference isn’t that huge, but it’s still big. Moreover, at maximum quality on the RTX 3070, the game does not start at all. But the game is based on the RE Engine, which was released a long time ago, and has always been well optimized.
In Forspoken, the difference between the cards is already much smaller, but in a number of modes there is a huge difference in image quality. And again, not in favor of the RTX 3070.
There are a lot of games in the source video, it makes no sense to list everything, but The Callisto Protokol is also worth mentioning separately. In Ultra Quality mode, the Nvidia adapter is even slightly faster than the competitor, although the difference is small. But when ray tracing is enabled, the performance of the RTX 3070 drops seven times! As a result, the difference between the cards becomes about six times.
It is also worth noting that in some of the games listed above, when ray tracing is enabled, the performance on the RTX 3070 is equal or even slightly better than the RX 6800, but the problem is that in this mode the game on the Nvidia card suffers from various problems like stutters and microfreezes. And if you analyze just charts, it’s impossible to know.
As a result, you can see that in a huge number of modern games at maximum graphics quality settings, 8 GB of RTX 3070 memory is no longer enough. And this often manifests itself even in Full HD, not to mention 1440p.
Lu Weibing, President of Xiaomi Group and General Manager of Redmi Brand, confirmed on Weibo that the Redmi Display A27 IPS monitor has gone on sale in China.
The monitor received a 27-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution, which supports an image refresh rate of up to 100 Hz. The display supports HDR10 and covers 99% of the sRGB color space.
The maximum brightness is 250 cd / m2, the screen displays up to 16.7 million colors. In addition, there is support for Low Blue Light and DC Dimming.
The case is only 7.5 mm thick, has a wall mount option, and HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors.
Redmi Display A27 IPS is priced at $85.

Cool passively a bundle of Core i9-13900K and GeForce RTX 4080. $1,000 Streamcom SG10 Radiator Case Introduced
Modern processors and video cards generate a lot of heat, and passive coolers are almost a thing of the past. However, the Streamcom SG10 is able to silently cool both the Core i9-13900K and the GeForce RTX 4080 at the same time. True, the Streamcom SG10 is only partly a cooling system, because it is a computer case. However, it is also difficult to call the product a full-fledged case.
In general, the easiest way to evaluate the novelty is from photographs. As you can see, this is a very massive design, which is supposedly capable of dissipating up to 600 watts of power.
In the case of a GPU, the capabilities of the Streamcom SG10 are really impressive, as the RTX 4080 core in 300-watt mode warmed up under load to only 60 degrees. With the Intel flagship, the situation is much worse: the CPU, known for its hot temper, in such a case operates at a temperature of about 100 degrees and even higher. However, with many air COs in the case of the Core i9-13900K, the situation is no better. On the other hand, no one forces you to use the Core i9-13900K.
It is also worth noting that the heat from the CPU and GPU is removed directly by flexible heat pipes or even hoses. This solution allows the design to be more flexible in terms of the use of different components.
The company also showed a variant with a copper heatsink. Such a case will be 20-40% more expensive than the aluminum version, which will cost $1,000.

The head of Nvidia promised not to leave gamers and came out with the protection of 8 GB of memory from the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
Amid the explosion of interest in artificial intelligence, Nvidia’s stock soared to incredible heights, putting the company briefly in the club of companies with a capitalization of over $1 trillion. Against this background, gamers and journalists have a question whether all this will affect the gaming direction. However, the head of Nvidia assured that no one will forget about gamers.
First, RTX was invented for gamers, and for RTX, the most important technology is artificial intelligence. Without artificial intelligence, we wouldn’t be able to do real-time ray tracing. It was impossible. And the first AI project in our company, the main direction of AI was Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). Deep learning. This is the pillar of RTX.
Second, notice what we’ve done with generative AI. The first application was ACE – Avatar Cloud Engine
Also, the head of Nvidia spoke out in defense of 8 GB of memory in the younger RTX 40 graphics cards.
Remember that the frame buffer is not a computer’s memory, but a cache. And how you manage cache matters a lot. As in the case of any other cache. And yes, the more cash, the better. However, you must compromise on many issues.
As a result, Jensen Huang called 8 GB for the RTX 4060 Ti the right amount. However, as we said today, even the RTX 3070 eventually appeared in serial form with 16 GB of memory.
