Absolutely agree:

GPD is making Strix Halo device, based on AMD Ryzen AI 395. The chip can use up to 120W, but definitely not in a handheld. But it still beats all the crap from anything on the market.

AMD RDNA 4 GPUs Have Issues With Unreal Engine 4 RT Games...

AMD accidentally uploaded FSR4 under MIT, which means, it can't be revoked. The library was supposed to be released under commercial licence.

It's possible to fry a 9950X with certain math operations, if you do it for months in a row.

Even if the CPU is not overheating in general, it may apparently degrade in one weak spot.

Not an issue for a wide audience, but can be a problem for users who do some computations 24/7.

AMD recently announced that rDNA 1 and 2 cards will no longer get optimization updates. Which meant that all RX 6000 cards and below can be considered a paperweight sooner than later.

But when it was heavily criticized by the community they pulled out an Asus scam, saying... you got it all wrong 🌚

It's possible that AMD is "winning" in certain games by secretly blocking heavy effects, like shadows from translucent objects:

Crazy enough, some new games can run on the legendary RX 580 if you are using Linux:

And all the most popular graphics cards are not having sufficient VRAM for AAA games (3080 10GB and 5070 12GB are the most powerful among the first 20). Despite the developers push to higher and higher VRAM consumption and using unique textures for literally everything.

Fortunately, Radeon market share grew from 15.2% in mid-2024 to 18.5% by late 2025. Intel stays the same, since they only released B580 and B570, which wasn't enough to noticeably fill the market.

OneX just announced their OneXGPU 3, packed with 9070 XT (cut down to 180W). This is still the most powerful of such solutions and you can plug it into any USB4 / Thunderbolt 3 compatible laptop. And it will be a beast, capable of 4K gaming.

Players: we need FSR4 on our Radeon 7000 series, can you do that, AMD?

No, but take seven apps to run AI, while installing consumer grade drivers! They are only 34GB+ in size...

4% faster at best, 15% more expensive: kinda not worth it with current prices

Yeah, same as we posted before: the FSR4 can work on RNDA 2 cards and beyond and AMD are still saying it can't.

Their promotional materials ignore the fact that half a year ago they by accident RELEASED the full FSR4 source, including a fallback for older cards.

They removed it, but they can't revoke the license and all the forks that were made a LEGAL. But AMD still pretend that FSR4 is only for 9070!

FSR 4 on RX6000 and 7000:

#AMD@GameDEV

After almost a year of denial that it's possible, AMD is releasing FSR 4.1 on rDNA 2 and rDNA3 GPUs (Radeon 6000 and 7000 series cards).

Officially it took them time to adjust the values for alternative INT8 computation instead of FP8 (which is only available on rDNA 4).

Not saying that the world gone mad, but among five big announcements from AMD there's Ryzen 5800x3D Anniversary Edition.

Costs $349

AM4 will never die, I assume!

In addition to that, AMD decided to screw NVIDIA over by releasing their second generation "Max" system, called AI Max 400 (Gorgon Halo). It will power the best handhelds, laptops, and compact computers.

1. It's more powerful than the best model from NVIDIA (which they just announced).

2. It's x86 = no compatibility issues nor overhead, compared to ARM CPUs from NV.

3. Up to 192GB of unified memory and up to 160GB of that can be used by the GPU. NVIDIA only managed to make 128GB of unified memory.

Overall it will replace Strix Halo lineup and will beat the crap out of anything in both AI and gaming.

AMD just released a new driver without Windows 10 support and without a warning about this incompatibility. Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 removes your current driver, then can't install the new one and leaves your system in a broken state. It's the driver that was supposed to bring FSR 4.1 to older cards.

AMD have tried to pretend Windows 10 is no longer supported at all. When it was pointed out that it is updated for all users in Europe and for commercial partners, they gave up. The fix is coming later and as of now you can disable the update and install the previous version.

NVIDIA messed up the same way a bit earlier which makes it twice funnier.

Finally, FSR 4.1 for rDNA 3
