This Was No Accident, NVIDIA… - Tech News April 9
In the latest episode of Paul's Hardware, the April hardware launches take center stage, showcasing new developments from AMD and NVIDIA that are exciting for PC gaming enthusiasts. The long-awaited performance review of AMD's Ryzen 7800X3D has been revealed, offering an excellent alternative for gamers who have been hesitant to invest in high-end CPUs like the Intel Core i9-13900K or the Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
The 7800X3D, priced below $500, provides impressive performance while maintaining power efficiency, drawing only 50 to 80 watts during gaming, and often matching the performance of the much pricier CPUs. This makes it an attractive option for gamers looking to save without sacrificing too much performance.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA is gearing up for the launch of the RTX 4070, which is rumored to carry an MSRP of around $600. Although this price point is contentious, it has been confirmed that the card exists, following leaks from a Counter-Strike 2 update that showcased benchmark results. The anticipated launch date is April 13, and many are eager to see whether the performance justifies the cost.
Additionally, OLED monitors are making waves, with exciting new models hitting the market in 2024. Noteworthy developments include multiple panel sizes and refresh rates from LG and Samsung, promising higher pixel densities and enhanced gaming experiences that are drawing interest from enthusiasts.
In tech briefs, a severe performance blow was experienced by RTX 4090 owners while trying out Cyberpunk 2077’s new RT overdrive mode, which highlights the high demands of full path tracing technology. AMD's upcoming Zen 5 architecture promises significant performance improvements as well.
This week also saw community interest in new handheld gaming devices, with ASUS confirming the ROG Ally, and a reminder of the risks associated with data security breaches, specifically concerning Western Digital.
If you find all of this intriguing, let us know your thoughts on the new hardware launches, or if you're considering upgrading your PC with the latest technology. What's your take on the pricing strategy of NVIDIA and AMD? Have you been tempted by any of the new OLED monitors? Share your insights!
