DLSS3 is interesting. It will be interesting to see it paired with a 13k chip.

rt performance is incredible. 2x over ampere.

I'll grab a popcorn 😀

Fantastic card for those who can afford it (not just buying price, but the "maintenance" cost in regards to electricity bills). Like HH said in the conclusion, I too hope that the next series will have all this performance, but be less power hungry. Still, stellar card...

AMD execs have either just grinned to each other or, shat their pants.

Wait, thought review embargo was tomorrow? Guess i'm glad it's not ! Let's read!

A true 4K card! Too bad the OC was underwhelming but that's how it is nowadays.
Double the frames from my 3080 is absolutely crazy insane!

Really impressive performance.

2x performance in 4K compared to my 3080, at similar power usage. impressive.

"costs USD 1599" add another 1K in Europe (which still lacks of prices near or below MSRP for previous generation if you search them from trusted sellers)

Extremely impressive card, thanks HH for a great review.
Now the elephant in the room, are there any existing or upcoming PC games that need this insane power?

tremendous technology and oomph...
but it's the size of a N.Y. studio apt. AND the requisite need of at least a m-atx mobo (5 slots) so it's not for me.
but then again i already have a 4k card that matches any monitor on the market bought for $600 less so again, not for me.
i'm not saying much on the power levels because all 4k cards do not sip the wattage, just the enormous size.
but the aib all are crazy (except the ones who put a radiator on it) too.
sorry if i sound snarky, it's just that i use PCIe cards

really impressive, now give me a 500eur card that smashes 3080Ti in raytracing and has dlss3 on top of that. who cares about 2000eur cards.

"It feels bizarre to talk about products that consume 425~450 Watts (nearly half a Kilowatt per hour of gaming) in times when people are concerned about heating their homes in the winter."
I mean, the more you game, the warmer your house will be... sooo...

@Hilbert Hagedoorn Any chance you could do an underclock review? I think this gen I am more interested in nailing power efficiency than all out performance.
