This is like playing games on a Quadro. It's not for gamers.
Cool on AMD though. The more competition they give Nvidia the better.
PC has SSD with 7+ gb/s (with 12-15GB/s next year probably), can run Cyberpunk pathtracing at 70+fps, 30-80TF gpus, and support for PCIE5.0/DDR5. GPUs come with up to 24GB VRAM and of course you can have <128GB RAM.

PS5 is old news in terms of hardware specs. Slow SSD (5.5gb/s), limited Raytracing, 10.3TF gpu and 16GB RAM shared across cpu/gpu. all based on Zen 2 (so PCIE 4.0/DDR4)

That Radeon Pro W7800 256bit 32GB.. is it a Navi 31 with two MCDs disabled or could this be the first appearance of Navi 32?
If it's the second, then the Radeon 7800XT should be close to release.
EDIT: The W7800's page says the chip's transistor count is the same 57.7B as the W7900 and the 7900XTX, so this should be a Navi 31 with only 4 MCDs from the 6 maximum, and a whopping 26CUs disabled.
If true, this does not bode well for the state of Navi 32. It could still be a typo, though.
Another disappointment here is how they didn't stack additional Infinity Cache chips on top of the MCDs. One would assume they'd put the additional cache for these highly expensive SKUs, but they didn't.

70 CUs means it's Navi 31-based as Navi 32 will have 60 CUs.

That post went over your head it was most likely a play on the events of the TLOU: P1 PC port thread

All server cards have blower coolers. They're supposed to go into server racks with substantial internal airflow and placed into rooms with powerful ACs at sub-20ºC.
This is the latest RTX 6000 Ada (RTX 4090 with 48GB):
These GPUs are usually a lot more TDP-limited than their consumer counterparts, which also helps.

This is not for games, sure.
But how is it like playing in one of these?
Does it lack some features present in "gaming" cards?
Or is it just like some absurd overkill?

Should be like Titan RTX Card, peform a bit better than the 7900XTX with the add of extra VRAM

With DLSS 3 absolutely

so, in other words, no

I mean the result counts, you can play it like that and DLSS makes it look good, so does it matter? Computer graphics main motto is to work smart not hard.

I bought a RTX A2000 (6GB) since nvidia refuses to make a low power 3050/3060 for desktops and I needed a < 70W card, the pcie limit. A 1650 would have been a lesser upgrade to my iGPU, while AMD does not have anything that can be considered an upgrade in that range.
Bought used since new any of those "pro" cards are priced even more insane than regular ones, so it was even cheaper than buying a regular card that would have been slower, just without any warranty.
The chips are kind of similar, maybe more cores deactivated or something and certainly very different power draw, it's kind of like an M-card, at least the low end.
I guess the drivers will not be adapted as fast to new releases and rather be geared towards stable as fuck for the software that is supposed to run on it. But so far I ran in no problems in my rather old library of games. Just Anno in its free weekend showing some weird flickering and not really working together with the VRR monitor or whatever.
Quite a couple of videos exist of people trying P620, T2000 or A2000 or some other number of those generations and none seemed to have problems in games.
If we start counting fake frames then the territory gets muddy, after all TVs can help consoles look smoother as well if all we're doing is counting frames.

Today these techniques are far more mature, than back in the day with TVs

True. And PC is old news at the PS5's price point.

TVs can "help" PC too.
And never will. VRAM latency>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RAM latency.

Where is the console that can match those PCs's performance and features?Compares $500 console to $3k PC

I’m not sure. Go build it?

If it's worth and I can, I will. Like how it is on PC.

So I guess you guys want Nvidia to have a monopoly on the GPU market then? Well then stop complaining about their exorbitant pricing.
Competition is good for the market. We want both AMD and Nvidia to thrive. Let Bethesda have their exclusive partnership. It’s good for business.
