So bring a salt mine's worth of salt...

 

And they've updated their story:

 

MLID making **** up? Shocked. Shocked I say.

Place your bets on when he quietly deletes the video as he is known to do when his 'leaks' turn out to be bollocks.

 

Nvidia finally stop making GTX16x0 cards

Wow, I had no idea that GTX16x0 cards were still on the go from 2018! I don't feel so bad about my ITX sized GTX1650 then.

 

News to me too. I thought they were toast around the 30 series launch and it was all just excess stock selling through.

 

Do we think that a 5800X3D will struggle with say a 5080 when it comes out?
The 4090 seems to pair nicely with it, I can't see there being 'that' much of a bottleneck if there is one?

 

Newer high-end CPUs will still provide an improvement but, at the resolutions and settings you're likely to run that kind of card at, I don't see CPU bottlenecks as that much of an issue. I've long said it'll be NV 5000 series or after before I even consider upgrading my 3090, and I'll still probably keep my 5800X3D.

 

I was reckon that'll end up being the case, the isn't 'that much' between a 5800X3D/7800X3D from what I've seen, nor between DDR4/5 in reality.
