Will likely be an AIB card for me, 4080 should put performance levels 80% above the consoles seeing as they are roughly 3060Ti level or even a bit below.

--Onilink--601d ago

Given the numbers that have been leaked compared to the 3000 series + the big jump with Ryzen 7000 series too, I honestly would not be surprised if its bigger.

In the end it mostly goes towards better RT and significantly higher FPS, but still though, this next gen for PC is looking pretty great, hopefully there are no significant scalping problems this time

_SilverHawk_601d ago

I cant wait to buy the 4090 first day. Hopefully it won't be as hard as when I bought my 3090. I cant wait to see the performance of the card

Number1TailzFan601d ago

Ya, only concern is Nvidia chose a lower tier chip this time for the 80 class card, well supposedly. Still rumoured to be a big jump though. I guess there will be more of a gap between it and the 4090 this time if true.

bunt-custardly601d ago

Ahh bloody heck, you just jinxed it now!

MadLad601d ago

@silverhawk

Unless you do a lot of editing, you really ripped yourself off with the 3090.
There was only about a 10% gain over the 3080, but at twice the price.
And the 3080 is a beast of a card as is.

Getting the highest end Nvidia card just to game is almost always a dumb decision.

Bobertt601d ago (Edited 601d ago )

According to Moore's Law is Dead who leaks a lot of GPU and CPU stuff. NVIDIA should have more supply at launch than last time because they had to delay the release because of the oversupply of 3000 series GPUs in the market. So he says they should have 1-2 months of extra supply built up for the launch than last time. But he says there is a chance they just paper launch the 3080 around Nov-Dec and fully release it early next year.

I agree, I can't wait to get this card

masterfox601d ago

GPU performance above consoles doesn't mean anything if there is no game to demonstrate that, PC gamers haven't seen a generational visual gap from consoles to PC since 2007 Crysis(seriously prove me wrong and NO res or framerate jump is not a generational gap), that was the real time(and years before) when somebody consider to upgrade a GPU card and it was worth it imo, but today there is literally no exclusive PC game that you can say is the most impressive thing ever seen, I am rocking a 1060 gtx 6 GB and Im more than happy, sometimes I consider to upgrade my card today just for the sole reason "oh look GPUs are getting almost MSRP" , but then I ask my self why should I buy really?, what game is outhere that can push this card?, and the answer is always this: is just a waste o money at the moment, also look at some Playstation games that were released some years ago are now releasing in Steam, those are at the moment the best looking games?, look at the status review: "overwhelmingly positive" Status(not even Forza or RDR 2 have this status) , so where is this so called PC games that are above everything?, what are you gonna say "oh it has greater resolution and higher detail", lol go and see the comparison between PC and PS Exclusives and tell if that's worth 1000 dlls upgrade card ;), so the question again is it worth such an expensive GPU purchase?, for me an absolute NO imo.

MadLad601d ago

If you insist.
All I have to say is I have a great PC, and both current gen consoles as well.
I sure as hell don't view my consoles as my preferred way to game.

Number1TailzFan601d ago

I was not sold on Crysis personally, i know people liked it but it didn't even perform that great even with higher end hardware at the time. I honestly enjoyed Return to Castle Wolfenstein more for its single player and multiplayer, and then Half Life 2 in 2004, now that was certainly a game worth building a new PC for IMO anyway.

There is more to it than resolution and detail, obviously the frame rates would be quite a lot higher. I do agree there's very few titles that would really push even a upper end 3000 series card these days, i wouldn't say the same about a 1060 though. Guess it depends if you're playing not very demanding games at lower detail and at 1080p.

Bobertt601d ago

Depending on the game higher frame rate does make a big difference. Play at 60fps and then try 144fps and you will notice a difference. Plus on pc you can add mods that stress the GPU more and can also make a big difference.

Giblet_Head601d ago

Quite a bit lower, try somewhere between a 2060 and 2070.

matt139601d ago

Should go nicely with either with a 4k high refresh rate or a 1440/240hz display. Let’s just hope stock is less scarce this time.

Number1TailzFan601d ago

I would certainly go for a high hz display. Big difference in smoothness over 60hz, 4k screens have gotten much better in terms of response time within the last couple of years too if you decide to get one of those.

FinalFantasyFanatic600d ago

There's not many great 4K monitors to choose from, I've been sticking with the same high end 1440p monitor for about 7 or 8 years now. Plus, I'll wait for Display Port 2.0 as well as HDMI 2.1 4K monitors.

601d ago
MadLad601d ago

People looking to upgrade or make a new build really should wait for the 4x series at this point.

Parts are more readily available, and prices are dropping now that we are experiencing the crypto crash. You shouldn't have to expect needing to pay a grand or over for a solid card, and the 3x series is now somewhat dated.

Father__Merrin601d ago

This thing is only worth it if you need it for imaging and editing. If you play guardians of galaxy on a 1080ti and 4080 what's the difference apart from resolution and fps

Shiore2u601d ago (Edited 601d ago )

By that logic there's no difference to the PS4 and PS5. They both play games, so same experience. What are you doing driving that car? You only need horse and carriage. What's the difference really besides speed and lifespan?

Father__Merrin600d ago

Il repeat again Guardian of Galaxy fairly new game. What's the difference in gameplay and visuals from 1080ti and 4080? Is there a generational leap or anything or merely bump in resolution and fps? 2k 60fp v 4k 60fps the 4080 will not give you new assets

Microsoft’s Surface and Xbox hardware revenues take a big hit in Q3

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

solideagle20h ago

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

Sonic188118h ago

I thought darthv72 and Obscure_Observer already work for Microsoft 🤔

dveio17h ago

MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."

darthv72: "Seems about right."

MS: "Excuse m ..."

darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."

MS:

Lightning7712h ago

What he said was facts. How he plays games is no concern of you. Don't get too mad about it.

Cacabunga20h ago

I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..

If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.

darthv726h ago

to you it may seem like the minority... but your bubble is shrinking because more and more are following suit. convenience is a hell of a drug and its also why physical sales only amount to 30% of overall game sales. times are changing, you either get with them or you get left behind.

neutralgamer19921h ago

Darth

30% physical sales: yet Phil and xbox division are in a rush go give up on that 30%. they don't have any right to give up any piece of the pie since the control such a little of the pie to begin with

also, the market is clearly speaking that the model Xbox is pushing isn't working right now the keyword being right now. you are right about freedom to play anywhere so i hope they put their games on steam

shinoff218319h ago

But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.

Cacabunga18h ago

Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.

If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.

Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you

itsmebryan14h ago

@shin
Well keep it simple Sony 's operating income is down 26% and Microsoft's is up 32%. No MS spin there, just facts. 😉
Cheers

S2Killinit7h ago

MS is after diminishing consoles as a medium. They want to destroy this market because they couldnt win. MS’s vision is to dissolve console gaming.

romulus2313h ago

Odd that a company that touts you dont need the hardware to play is already touting another console in the works.

darthv7212h ago

They are not reliant on the HW but still want to maintain a presence (no matter how small) is a good thing. It shows commitment to the craft. It reminds me of SNK and how they made games for their own hardware (Neo Geo) while also making them for others because they knew there was a market to do so. They knew they would sell more to others but also sell to their own niche fan base.

TheEroica6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Perfectly reasonable post down voted by insecure corporation friendly folk.... But not gamers. Real gamer want accessibility and ease of acquisition for all.... Company shills are the only ones still telling us that hardware locking people from games is good for us.

Chevalier1h ago

@Darth

You should stop parroting metrics like an idiot without context.

"Xbox content and services revenue grew 62% in Q3 from a year earlier, “driven by 61 points of net impact” from the purchase of the third-party video game giant, Microsoft said."

61 of the 62% was from their merger so net increase is ONLY 1%

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos22h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

DOMination-12h ago

In the last two years they've started exiting the consumer market altogether. All of the newest Surface products are business models only. They can't seem to work out what they want to do with it.

XBManiac21h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

purple10121h ago

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

Kornholic19h ago

So basically PS and PC gamers' money is keeping Xbox on life support.

MrDead12h ago

The only growth MS will get out of the console industry is if it supports it's rivals platforms. Xbox is a pointless machine now. I can see them on a big push for live next, and they won't give up on trying to buy Steam.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers1d 19h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken1d 5h ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola1d 11h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn6691d 14h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle1d 13h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
