Recently, I dove into the stuff that Nvidia talked about during their GDC panel, and I found quite the nugget of information. Honestly, it looks like 2022 will be a landmark year for FPS boosting technologies.
Alright, So, it seems like in 2022 we’ll have ALL the upscaling we’ll ever need. From AMD we now have RSR or Radeon Super Resolution.. which is compatible with thousands of games but has some limitations like only being compatible with AMD GPUs and of course, image quality suffering in some cases because it has to upscale the entire image, post-processing, and HUD included.
Then we of course have FSR and FSR 2.0, DLSS 2.0 or Deep Learning Super Sampling, Nvidia image Scaling or NIS, and the upcoming XeSS from intel.
Nvidia streamline comes in to make it easy for developers to bring in any of these technologies in our games. This means we’ll have FSR XeSS and DLSS in a lot of games going forward!

![GPU Prices Might Go Up by A LOT!
Well, folks, we got some possible bad news here. It looks like GPU prices might go up! I mean its hard to say that with a straight face given the price of the RTX 4000 and RX 7000 series of GPUs, but this also applies to the last couple of generations of gpu’s that are still selling.
That’s because back in the trump era, GPUs were subject to tariffs. So there were extra import duties for and I quote : printed circuit assemblies, constituting unfinished logic boards,. And GPU’s were part of it. What this meant was a 25% tax. Pretty bad.
In late 2021, After a lot of pushback from companies like Nvidia, HP, Zotac, and others, the Biden administration gave a Tariff exemption to GPUs and other things that fell into a specific category. Great! The problem... Well, those tariff exemptions dont last forever. And this specific one is going to expire on December 31’rst of 2022.
With the insane prices of new tech, that’s not good. Honestly, Im a little bit glad that we got the new stuff this year because the last-gen prices have gone WAY down. At least for AMD’s lineup. If you werent able to get a GPU during black Friday, you can maybe wait until Boxing day or another holiday sale. But if those tariffs do expire without renewal, it wont take long before the stock in your country run out and you’re hit with a massive price hike.

![AMDs 6800 XT Could BEAT an RTX 4080 ?!
Lets get started with AMD. or actually, get started with Yuri aka 1 Usmus. He’s the creator of the ryzen clock tuner utility or CTR, the hydra utility, and of course the Ryzen Dram calculator.
Well, he’s working on a utility for RDNA 2 and up GPU’s, and it looks really promising! Its called the Radeon Monster profile, and it will basically be a bunch of presets he made that make use of some unique settings and a new volt frequency curve. With this utility, he says that the 6800XT can go beyond 3090 Ti levels of performance. So that means that in raster performance, we could see it potentially trade blows or even beat a freaking RTX 4070, sorry 4080 12gb. I say this because in nvidia’s own charts, the 4080 12GB seems to struggle against the 3090 ti in non-ray traced games. Look here for example in RE village and Assasins creed Valhalla.
So how much more performance? Lets take a look at his charts. He tested it in 3D marks’ time spy and the stock 6800XT has a score of 19336 points. There are 2 Radeon monster profiles tested here, 305 and 370. But in that one, he says he got 21 443 points. That’s an increase of almost 11% in performance. With the higher profile, so profile 370, the 6800XT scores 21930 points, an increase of just over 13%. That’s just a little higher than a stock 3090 ti.
And it does that with much lower power at 370 watts rather than the 450 watts on the 3090 ti. Now of course, this is a synthetic benchmark, but for a GPU that’s now 2 years old. Its a good performance increase. The Radeon monster profiles are set to drop in fall and should work with all Navi 21 GPU’s, so the 6800 and up. No word on the 6700 series and below for now.
As for the 7000 series of GPUs, well he said that he hopes it will compatible. Probably because it leverages unique properties of Ryzen 6000. The 6800 XT can be had for about 580$ right now on newegg, and it will probably be lower once the 7000 series hit the shelves, so this might give that lineup a second life. What are your thoughts on this? Let me know down below!

![Intel ARC Alchemist GPUs are REALLY BAD VALUE!
The company unveiled their arc GPUs last year, and since then, it seems like its just been bad news after bad news. First, we thought it would release in the last quarter of last year but they announced them for Q1 2022. Then intel failed to deliver and readjusted the timeline for Q2 2022, then it turns out they weren’t planning on selling these things to everyone. Only to very specific Asian markets.
Then we heard that desktop variants would pop up in Q2, Q2 happened and all we got was the Arc A380, one of the low-end GPU’s, and once again, only in a very specific market. Now that we’re in Q3, according to intel, we should be seeing higher-end GPU’s. Gaming and workstation. Guess what, Nothing.
All we really are getting are benchmarks of the A380 or specific laptop models. Like for example, this week, new 3Dmark benchmarks for the A550M and A770M popped up.
In this leak, the a550M, which is supposed to be a mid-tier laptop GPU, has a graphics score of about 6000 points in the 3D mark time spy benchmark. That’s not a horrible score. Its about GTX 1660 levels of performance. But that GPU is already out the window. Do you want to know why? Because its a terrible value proposition.
Let me explain, first, the benchmark. While 3D mark time spy can be a somewhat fine way of calculating relative gaming performance, the fact is that intel optimized for it and this result is just an inflated result. It says it here too. Rule-breaking driver optimizations. So we can expect that the regular driver will be worse.

![Nvidias RTX 4000 Series Has TWO RTX 4080s?!
Lets get started with Nvidia. It looks like the company really plans on keeping the RTX 30 series alive for the next generation. So, videocardz.com did a roundup of all the current leaks and rumors and got confirmation from multiple sources on what the next generation lineup will look like. And it really hints at having 2 generations side by side.
So, there would be 3 new GPUs announced, but instead of the usual 3 tiers of gpu launch like they’ve been doing for years, so a ti or 90 series, an 80 series and a 70 series, we’re getting one RTX 4090, and 2 variants of the RTX 4080. A 4080 12GB, and a 4080 16GB. And yes, this seems to be the final naming scheme. So lets break down the important specs of those 3 GPUs ! I mean the event is in 6 days, I dont think the specs are going to change much!
Alright, The RTX 4090. This model is a beast. Based on the AD102 chip, it has 16 384 Cuda cores and a boost clock of 2520 Megahertz. Now of course it should actually boost higher depending on temperatures. It has 24GB of GDDR6X memory running at 21Gbits per second. Now of course, one of the big things that have been talked about for the 4000 series is the power consumption. Well, this model should have a TGP of 450W. That doesnt mean that you wont see custom cards with higher TGPs. The actual max TGP we should see from a pre-overclocked card might be 660W.
Then we have our first RTX 4080, the 16gb version. This one is based on the AD103 chip and theres a huge difference in Cuda cores here, with the 4080 having 40% less than the 4090. So, 9728 Cuda cores. The clock speed is similar at 2505 Mhz, It has 16GB of GDDR6X memory, and it’s faster here at 23Gbits per second. The power consumption for this model is similar to the last generation at 340W

![AMD’s RX 6950 XT Has Been Listed For HOW MUCH?
The 6950 XT has been spotted! Specifically, its a factory overclocked Gigabyte RX 6950 XT. And its price ? Well, 3 241 Australian dollars, which is about 3040 Canadian dollars or 2500 US dollars. Now, as is, in australian, everything is out to kill you, but also, everything is out to take your money, so GPU’s are more expensive most of the time. But a regular 6900 XT retails for the equivalent of 15 to 1700 US, 2500 dollars is just insane. I truly hope that this is just a mistake from a retailer. The 6950 XT isnt going to be a huge upgrade, the main difference is going to be memory speed going from 16gbps, to 18gbps, so if we see a 500$ price increase simply for faster memory, it means that we are now in the dark ages of GPU pricing. [...]
Next up , but also with AMD we got some Zen 4 news! The company held their meet the experts webinar not too long ago, and we got some juicy info on the memory side of things ! Specifically, we got the Memory enabling manager at the company Joseph Tao, Saying : Our first DDR5 platform for gaming is our Raphael platform and one of the awesome things about Raphael is that we are really gonna try to make a big splash with overclocking and I’ll just kinda leave it there but speeds that you maybe thought couldn’t be possible, may be possible with this overclocking spec.”
