AMD Radeon 8800 XT GPU leak suggests GeForce RTX 4080 performance for half the price

Kosta Andreadis | Aug 23, 2024 2:03 AM CDT

According to a new report from Moore's Law is Dead, citing sources directly within AMD, the company could be releasing its flagship RDNA 4 gaming GPU before the end of the year. Tentatively called the Radeon RX 8800 XT, there's a chance it could be revealed or teased this weekend at Gamescom.

Not only that, but performance-wise, it could be an absolute game changer that shakes up the GeForce RTX-dominated PC gaming market - dramatically improved raytracing performance thanks to an increase in RT hardware per Compute Unit, plus 'rasterization' performance (non-RT or upscaled) that will 'trade blows' with the GeForce RTX 4080.

Of course, we are chalking this up as rumor for now, so take this all with a grain of salt. The flagship Navi 48 GPU (AMD won't be competing on the high-end with its upcoming RDNA 4 generation of graphics cards) is set to feature 64 CUs or Compute Units with Boost Clock frequencies that could hit up to 3.2 GHz.

The latter is out in December and, on PC, will feature 'Full Ray Tracing' and DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction running on the latest id Tech engine. To celebrate both titles, NVIDIA is giving away a pair of custom GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Founders Edition graphics cards across its social channels - a Black Myth: Wukong and an Indiana Jones and the Great Circle edition.

These are both one of a kind, with the Black Myth: Wukong variant sporting custom wrap art that looks hand-painted, adding a dose of silver and brushed metal with the game's protagonist seemingly hand-drawn onto the faceplate. It looks fantastic, and one lucky PC gamer will get it.

Kosta Andreadis | Aug 20, 2024 11:02 PM CDT

NVIDIA has announced its latest GeForce RTX gaming bundle. For eligible purchases of a desktop GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU or GeForce RTX laptop, get a free copy of Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws with a bonus Forest Commando Character Pack. The pack includes a complete cosmetic outfit for the game's protagonist, reminiscent of Leia's outfit during the Battle for Endor in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

On the GPU side, qualifying cards include the GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4070 SUPER, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, RTX 4080, RTX 4080 SUPER, and the flagship GeForce RTX 4090. Unfortunately, GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti cards are not eligible for the promotion, which is a shame. Getting a free AAA game with the $299 USD GeForce RTX 4060 would have been a sweet deal.

It's a similar story on the laptop front, with qualifying systems having to include at least a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.

Zotac has a GeForce RTX 4070 Blower Edition GPU for compact SFF builds

Kosta Andreadis | Aug 20, 2024 1:28 AM CDT

Although it's described as delivering high frame-rate gaming performance in an SFF build, the new ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 Blower GPU's old-school design probably works just as well in a workstation rig running generative AI tasks. The two-slot design sports a traditional blower fan cooling design with a single intake and hot air exhausted through the vents on the rear.

Zotac isn't the first company to release a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU in a compact two-slot form factor with blower fans; similar models are available from companies like ASUS, GIGABYTE, and others.

The GeForce RTX 4070 is a perfect candidate for this type of design, especially in the AI PC era, as the single 8-pin power connector and 200W TDP with 12GB of GDDR6X memory make it a great cost-effective solution for generative AI workloads. And one that will scale easily by adding more GPUs into the mix.

In a new post from Israeli website Globes, we're learning that Arm has a large team of up to 100 or so GPU and software engineers, at its development center in Ra'anana, Israel. Arm isn't new to the world of GPUs, as it has its in-house Mali and Immortalis series, which are offered to chipmakers as IP to license for their own chips, just like it does with its Arm-based CPUs.

Globes reported: "UK chip giant ARM is developing a graphics processor unit (GPU) in Israel that will compete with NVIDIA and Intel, sources familiar with the matter have told"Globes."ARM is estimated to be employing about 100 chip and software development engineers, in its global graphics processing group at its development center in Ra'anana. At this stage, ARM is reportedly engaged in graphic processing for the video game market, and at the same time - as was the case with NVIDIA - the technology could also be used for AI processing, if and when ARM decides to fully enter the field".
