I did actually try PS3 emulation with Dragon’s Crown and it worked fine.

I will also say that another thing that people don't talk about often is power efficiency, which seems to be something that nvidia is consistently better at.

Everything below the 5090 should have slightly better power efficiency than predecessors, including the 5090 if you limit it. RDNA4 should benefit from being monolithic instead of chiplets this time around. It's also moving from TSMC N5/N6 to N4P. There are rumored TDPs and performance but not enough info to judge it yet.

PS3 actually had a famously weak GPU. The idea was that the GPU would only be used for the 'boring' 3D stuff and most of the cutting-edge high-perf shit would be run on the Cell's wacky architecture. If you have an AMD CPU with AVX-512 that can emulate the Cell well, you really only need something on par with a 7800 GTX which is the sort of GPU performance that I think comes in happy meals nowadays.
Now granted, a better GPU doesn't hurt if you want to render at higher resolutions than 720p and use the fancy texture packs etc but I think the iGPUs in modern Zen chips are more than capable of smoking the GPU in the PS3 (and even the one in the Xbox 360 if I'm being honest).

It was quite good for the time. It was somewhere between the midrange 7600 and high-end 7800 GTX. The problem was that the Xbox 360 had a fully custom solution that was simply better.
No, the idea was the Cell would be a hybrid CPU-GPU, with the massive bandwidth between the PPC core and the SPEs overcoming existing limits on traditional accelerated setups, somewhat like an AMD APU. Problem was, the yields were nowhere near what they needed to be for a chip as massive as they intended, they were way behind where they needed to be on developer tools, among other problems. Also, CPU-GPU bandwidth wasn't really an issue as more and more computation stayed GPU-native, unlike on the PS2. So they cut down the design a bunch, added in a commodity GPU, and told developers "like probably just use the SPEs for graphics preprocessing idk lol." Developers did indeed find useful things to do with the SPEs, but the original idea was that would be the GPU, full stop.
The final product that hit the markets was basically a bunch of compromises, kludges, and cuts to get something out the door because Xbox was eating their lunch, and none of their original ideas were working.
Incidentally, SPEs look a lot more like modern CUDA cores than they do the vertex & pixel units of the time.

The 5080 is showing its prowess on a new PC game. https://x.com/Pirat_Nation/status/1886295050457686169

Probably a combo of low supply of the new cards, discontinuation of the old cards, and ramped up fear about the effects of Trump tariffs.

So sad for the new 4080 Super Super owners.
At least it works!

GG Ngreedia. Also, I heard news that China might cave in, but a part of me wants to see God-Emperor Trump tax BRICS to a 100%.

@Betonhaus Has it arrived yet? What did the thieving chinese actually send you?

Nvidia stopped producing everything except the 4060 last year and 50-series production only started in December, with ramp-up coinciding with Lunar New Year so the factories in China are closed.
AMD also published instructions on how to run DeepSeek on their own GPUs and distilled DeepSeek models apparently run quite well on the 7900 XT and XTX. They cut production of those last summer and stock has been slowly selling out.
Both AMD and Nvidia got burned by making too many GPUs and having to sit on excess inventory after the COVID shortages ended so their new strategy is to aggressively ramp down production before starting production on a new generation which means there's a period between the launch of the new gen and the end of production of the old gen where supply is necessarily constrained.

According to the tracking information it was delivered... In Montreal Quebec, a city 6,000km away from where I live. I feel confident in saying it was fraudulent.

It's just like being in the '90s again, except without the blinding speed of progress and free-falling transistor costs!

Bro. At least my 4070 Super knows what it is as a graphics card. Lol lmao even. Wake me up when the super refreshes come out for the 50 series.

No information about the weight and size, and to view delivery confirmation I need the postal code and mine isn't correct

I have no idea how the AI part of these cards work but is there a way to get these ai chips to transcode media for plex or jellyfin? Nvenc is fine but i'd imagine the horsepower behind AI is going give better x265 encodes than envenc by itself. im too present time orientated to make cpu encodes.

Can't a mid range Nvidia card pump out 1080p H265 at 200fps or something?
The other option is the new 5000 series, I read that they put more encoders on it so you can encode multiple streams at once with no performance loss.
