    AMD Radeon RX 7600 Review: DOA Radeon, Again?

    <p>AMD's new <a href="https://www.techspot.com/review/2686-amd-radeon-7600/">Radeon RX 7600</a> is a new mainstream GPU offering that is not unlike Nvidia's recent RTX 4060 Ti release – there's actually a decent product here, however it's poorly priced.</p> <p><a...

    Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti Review: 8GB of VRAM at $400 is a No-Go

    <p>Frankly, we don't need to conduct an exhaustive test on the <a href="https://www.techspot.com/review/2685-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti/">GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB</a> to inform you that it represents shockingly poor value. This new 8GB GPU, priced at $400, is woefully inadequate.</p> <p><a...

    GeForce RTX 4070 vs. RTX 2070: Worthy Upgrade or Not?

    <p>We dust off the old GeForce RTX 2070 to see how it holds up against the newer RTX 4070. Of course, the idea is to <a href="https://www.techspot.com/review/2677-geforce-4070-vs-2070/">measure how much faster</a> the new GPU is, and is it a viable upgrade after 5 years?</p> <p><a...

    GeForce RTX 4070 vs. 4070 Ti: $600 or $800 GPU Upgrade

    <p>Here's an extensive <a href="https://www.techspot.com/review/2676-geforce-4070-versus/">benchmark session</a> comparing the new GeForce RTX 4070 with its more formal tie-wearing sibling, the RTX 4070 Ti, to determine whether the Ti is worth the extra $200.</p> <p><a...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    You can't enable RT in Hogwarts on a 8GB card with high textures, even with DLSS.

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    You mean the video where we were obviously disappointed with Nvidia and told them publicly in no uncertain terms that we don't need them, and if they want to act that way we're happy to ignore them? Nothing has changed in the past 2 years, we're going about the review process the same way we...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    This is the kind of thing I've come to expect from you. Do you mean changes like being the first and only media outlet globally to highlight Nvidia's driver overheard issue in a two part investigation? Again we're the first media outlet to really dig into the VRAM issue, and you're crying...

    GeForce RTX 3080 vs. Radeon RX 6800 XT: 2023 Revisit

    <p>Today we're <a href="https://www.techspot.com/review/2671-geforce-3080-vs-radeon-6800-xt/">revisiting the battle</a> between the most reasonable previous-gen high-end GPUs: the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 10GB, in 50 games at 1440p and 4K.</p> <p><a...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    As shown in the article the RX 6800 played at 52 fps at 1080p which was very playable. The RTX 3070 was unusable. You can argue about how much you think RT is worth it, I don't really care, it's just an opinion.

    Ray Tracing was added to the game, we are testing with RT enabled :S

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    Personally I don't like review scores, so I wouldn't do them, I don't have an input here, it's a TechSpot thing, they assign a score that they think is fair based on the review. If I had to I would have given the RTX 4070 maybe an 80/100 since it is the best value current and previous generation...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    That's the kind of crap the fan boys get into, we're not reviewing the company, we're reviewing the product. That said we certainly push back against anti-consumer behavior. FROM MY REVIEW "And while on the topic of VRAM, I’ll just quickly note that 12GB’s is now what we consider to be the bare...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    What was his point? That he doesn't understand that if a product is 11% faster but costs 16% more it's not particularly good value? The reality is he's attacking one of the few content pieces that clearly highlighted the 8GB VRAM buffer as being an issue and then years later that same media...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    "That doesn't mean all 8GB graphics cards are now useless or obsolete, or that all graphics cards released in the last few years should have had more than 8GB of VRAM. Rather, we're seeing clear evidence that 8GB graphics cards are shifting towards the low-end, and therefore you can now consider...

    8GB VRAM vs. 16GB VRAM: RTX 3070 vs. Radeon 6800

    If this is your take away you need to read the article again. I showed where 8GB's of VRAM is an issue, showed where it isn't and clearly explained that this isn't an issue for all games. I also showed what you have to do to get RT working in Hogwarts Legacy and The Last of Us Part 1. I'm also...
