Knowing that Nvidia needs to fix their CPU overhead issue before they lose by default to AMD, is there a risk for most games in the future to become CPU-bound regardless of GPU vendor? The BVH structures of ray tracing, crowd densities and physics calculations add significant CPU cost

2025-10-30 22:41:17 +0000 UTCHey tom do you have any ideas of what AMD might do to get developers to use path tracing more? How much do you think they’ll use Sony to help with outreach to recruit more devs to use path tracing.

2025-10-30 22:10:28 +0000 UTCHow do you think the recent DRAM and NAND price increases affect plans for next gen products and consoles?

2025-10-30 14:35:48 +0000 UTCHi Tom, not too long ago i tried AFMF so driver based frame gen in Nier Raplicant a game locked to 60 FPS on my 120 hz 4K Pannel with my RX 9070XT. VSYNC is terrible in that game so that has to be disabled. Still the presantation with frame gen is so bad, that native 60 feels much better. Is there a chance that AFMF 3 can really change these problems?
