The Radeon VII (Vega II) Graphics Card Launch

AMD’s Radeon VII has arrived! All hail the Radeon VII! But does it belong in our build chart?

The RTX 2060 Launch Update

So, the new RTX 2060 was revealed during CES, and now the benchmarks are out. Long story short: GTX 1070 to GTX 1080 performance for $350. So, you get last year’s $500 performance and save $150. That is pretty good! In fact, I would say that (due to its price) this card is probably going to be nVidia’s most popular RTX 20XX card. We are not all oil barons, nVidia!

The RX 590 Update (and the End of 2018’s GPU Crypto Problem)

It is not going to be easy to be kind to AMD for this one: The 590 is a refreshed 580, which itself is a refreshed 480.

New GPU Descriptions for November 2018

TechPowerUp The Witcher 3 1080p 4k benchmarks

The Witcher 3 1080p and 4K Benchmarks from TechPowerUp (source article linked below)

November 2017 was the last time we updated the GPU descriptions. We compared cards to the Titan XP, and had benchmarks for WoW and Witcher 3.

Now that it is November 2018, I have updated the base comparison GPU and the reference games.

The Sharks and Whales Update

AMD has released two new 2nd-generation Threadripper CPUs (the TR 2920X and the TR 2970WX).

The Big Fish and Small Fries Update

Intel i9-9900k

There are new high-end CPUs available from Intel, and new low-end CPUs available from AMD. And we’ve taken a look at both!

The RTX 2070 Launch

So, the new RTX 2070 got released last night, to mixed-but-mostly positive reviews.

The RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti Launch (For Real This Time)

After much teasing and waiting, the reviews for nVidia’s RTX cards are now available, which means we can finally properly evaluate how the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti stack up against the prior generation.

Adding the TR 2950X (and a Few Extra Details)

Greetings!

Major Change:

The recently-available-for-purchase TR 2950X easily and smoothly replaces the TR 1950X in our Extremist tier. The 1920X stays put till the 2920X get released (rumoured to be in October). If the 2950X has not been released in your country, then the 1950X will remain till it is available.

The nVidia RTX Family (Non-)Update

I hope you did not miss nVidia’s conference yesterday! Lots of tech/game demos were shown, and lots and LOTS of fancy words (two hours worth) were used to tell us that nVidia is launching the new RTX series of cards.
