It's reportedly (extremely) late Q1 or sometime in Q2 '24. I think the second half is supposed to be the "bigger" version of Battlemage, but I might be just thinking of Meteor/Arrow/Lunar Lake CPUs (one of those three) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Looks like AMD driver-level FSR3 has been updated to support HDR, maybe regular FSR3 will be able to do that soon (I mean… it’s weird AF that it doesn’t support it in the first place, right?).

Spork3245 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 14900k: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900k/ 14700k: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-14700k/ Very small performance increases in gaming (1-2%), only notable thing is a very impressive temperature reduction for the 14900k (ie: in gaming, the 14900k is running over 7% cooler at stock than the 13900k, and over 13% cooler when under full load in synthetics). Intel is keeping 1:1 pricing with the prior chips, so this is "fine" I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 14th gen is a complete waste of time. These are just re-badged chips. Should have just named the 14700k the 13800k and called it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Yeah that isn’t what I was expecting from the 14th gen, no wonder I didn’t even realize it had come out. I kinda just assumed they would continue the trend and take back the gaming crown and beat the 7800x3D but it looks like they didn’t do that even though it wouldn’t have required much of a jump. If AMD has an actual improvement in store next year that would put them a decent bit up I’d imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Off for me. I remember there was something in the bios about having to enable it to get windows 11 to work or something of that nature, but maybe that wasn't the case.

Spork3245 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Looks like people are starting to figure out how to “force enable” DLSS3 frame generation on RTX 2000/3000 cards, and… it seems to not be smooth at all and kind of a mess. A theory is that, because of the lack of proper hardware for actual DLSS3, it winds up duplicating frames rather than generating frames, so it’s basically the same interpolation TVs use.

AbsolutSurgen Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 It’s almost like Nvidia wasn’t lying when they said frame generation required a RTX-4000 card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 I feel like prices are in a pretty good place right now for computers if it wasn’t for the damn gpu hikes this gen. I really hope the 5000 is a more reasonable value proposition for people, or at least, the power is such that like a 5050 is a good gaming card. From that link Spork posted, you can get basicialy the best gaming cpu for $300, or an intel one close for under $300. You can get 32gb ddr5 6000ghz ram for $100. You can get a 4tb for $200-$300 depending on the speed. Nothing is really that crazy at the moment except there is like no decent $400-$500 gpu that is decent enough to go with that system!

Counter-point: motherboard prices are out of control, they’re even worse than GPU price bumps. A basic-bitch motherboard is still like $200+, and that used to be the mid-range price just a few years ago. $450-600 used to be the “omg, lol, why?” stupidly over-speced top-end crazy-person “you definitely don’t need this” priced motherboards that would have like 4-6 full-speed PCIE 16x slots with individual lanes for each. Now, $400-550 is the mid/upper mid-range, and $1100-1600 is that “omg lol” range. I priced it out as I want to bite, but despite the crazy CPU deals, pricing on the motherboards that I’d want that hit all the features/ports/etc that I’d need (plus pricing in RAM since I’d need DDR5) would be $810 for a 13700k build (even going with a Z690 to get cheaper mobo) and $1000 for the 7800x3D build. If you’re building completely new, that’s not including a case, PSU, GPU, CPU cooling (that’s also gotten way out of control price-wise unless you’re doing mid-range air cooling), case fans, SSD(s), etc. CPUs are definitely falling like rocks in prices, but JFC at some of the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
