EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 is a triple-fan and triple-slot graphics card powered by (you've guessed it) three 8-pin power connectors. The Ultra variant, for which the BIOS is intended, has a boost clock of 1800 MHz.
For comparison, the ROG STIRX OC from ASUS has a boost clock of 1935 MHz. Meaning, both cards are not going to offer the same performance out of the box, but they should theoretically match each other once overclocked. AMD has announced its NAVI23 based graphics cards, announced not launched are the Radeon RX 6600 and 6600 XT. In this review, we'll look at the XFX Speedster MERC 308 Radeon RX 6600 XT BLACK edition.
In August, there were several reports that Amazon's New World MMO, which was in beta at the time, had a penchant for killing EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards. New World is now out of beta and drawing large queues as gamers clamor to experience the game. Unfortunately, it appears that the game isn't done with killing GPUs, according to new reports.
It remains to be seen if the delay is the result of a last-minute decision by AMD to go with the newer "Zen 3" CCD that comes with 3D Vertical Cache technology, over the conventional "Zen 3" CCD; or some other reason. A 2022 launch would mean that Threadripper 5000 series will be launching around the time when Intel has desktop platforms with DDR5 memory and PCI-Express Gen 5. Threadripper 5000 chips with quad-channel DDR4 memory (four 64-bit wide channels) will be seen offering only comparable memory bandwidth to "Alder Lake" systems with overclocked DDR5 memory (four 40-bit wide channels).
AMD is likely to prioritize its next "big" socket for the enterprise segment with EPYC "Genoa," as the company could find itself embattled with Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" processors that come with next-gen I/O. Among the issues fixed include rare driver timeouts noticed on "Horizon Zero Dawn" and "The Medium" on RX 6000 series graphics cards such as the RX 6700 XT, and when gaming+streaming on RX 500 series cards. An issue with high idle memory clocks on multi-monitor setups has been fixed. Incorrect power reporting by Radeon Software at full load, has been fixed.
