Cannot wait for both the 1080ti and AMD Vega. Would be really nice to see some actual competition and to finally have options to choose from.

RedDeadLB3097d ago

Here's what I bet is going to happen:

1080Ti goes unmatched, hella expensive.
AMD cards neck and neck with the rest of Nvidia's lineup, BUT:
-much higher power consumption
-worse support for anything not DX12 related

silvacrest3097d ago

I would have thought that because AMD have finally got their hands on the same manufacturing process as their competitors, excessive power use wouldnt happen

Asuka3097d ago

You may be right about the 1080ti, but i am remaining optimistic about AMD. They are very aware about the TDP issue and have made strides to correct it (e.g. Ryzen with its 95w TDP). Also the RX 480 has been fairing quite well lately against its direct competitor the gtx 1060 as the driver updates have helped a lot with that power consumption. AMD is been on their game lately and it is very refreshing to see. As much as I like team Blue/Green they have done next to nothing the past 10 years innovation-wise except minor incremental changes, and it would be nice to have something new/different to consider while making a purchase which Team Red is seeming to deliver.

Takwin3097d ago

Based on Ryzen and Vega leaks and previews, the drivers and power consumption have been at the top of the list for AMD. I'm building a new PC this summer and I already think I'm going with the top of the line Ryzen and Vega.

NecoTehSergal3097d ago

Wut? AMD is better DX12 and Vulkan typically - the only thing Nvidia excels in, is Outdated things like DX9, DX10, DX11. lol.

Hella expensive for Nvidia cards? Yup.

The AMD Card will be neck to neck in many circumstances, better in some, lower in others, this is to be predicted since it's direct competition.

It won't have high consumption, just as the rest of the 400 series is extremely low unlike the predecessors from AMD.

AMD Ryzen and AMD Vega here I come.

Pathogenic3097d ago

I have two Asus Gtx1080's and I'm set for many years to come. The only thing I will be upgrading is my CPU and Motherboard, Ram, SSD and that's it.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

wesnytsfs1h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

It’s definitely an upgrade, not sure about massive.

Grilla20h ago

It is massive compared to the switch 1. 6-10X the power, but compared to current standards it’s the bare minimum.

RedDevils20h ago

It's just a minor upgrade nothing special. Could have included the Oled screen but greedy Nintendo have something planned for it already.

Yesyes19h ago

Oled screen means nothing when people have OLED tv's.

Rage7719h ago

You are self aware of how dumb and "sheepy" that tagline of "greedy" sounds like at this point in time, right?
Every little entitled twat on the internet has used it ad nauseum, as if all of a sudden you somehow struck gold or something. it ALMOST sounds as infantile as the other meme vomit brain rot: "Defending the billion dollar company, blah, blah" FFS. tell me its "irony" at least what you are trying to express, so at least i can give you some credit for being "clever" or bold. I refuse to believe you ACTUALLY believe what you are saying, unironically,

repsahj20h ago

Great review! We have almost the same impression of the Switch 2. I don't care if the screen isn't OLED, because when I put it next to my friend's Steam OLED screen, they barely deviated in quality.

anast19h ago

Better than the Steam Deck not as good as the other consoles on the market.

PanicMechanic9h ago

Steam deck is the best handheld on the market, so no.

Neonridr5h ago

as an owner of a Steam Deck OLED and a Switch 2 I can wholeheartedly disagree with this statement.

The Steam Deck is nice as I can play my Steam library on the go. But until the Steam Deck can run Mario Kart World or DK Bananza at 60fps then honestly, I can't even begin to compare the two.

Dudububu5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

And yet people will buy it regardless of the other "good" consoles lol. People want to have fun, not to gawk at dem gwafics like some of you would.

Neonridr3h ago

it can do better graphics than the Steam Deck. Higher resolution screen and it can use DLSS which is superior to FSR.

gold_drake2h ago

upgrade sure, massive i dont know ha.
