New GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory was faster than GeForce RTX 3070 in some games

Galax has provided the first gaming performance data on the new version of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, which was introduced a few days ago.
The faster GDDR6X provides up to 35% higher memory bandwidth than GDDR6.
This should have a positive impact on gaming performance, especially at high graphics settings.Image source: GalaxThe Galax company will release a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Plus graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory.
The manufacturer compared the new product to the older model GeForce RTX 3070, also equipped with 8 GB of memory, but slower GDDR6.
Recall that the GeForce RTX 3070 uses a GPU with 5888 CUDA cores, while the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is equipped with a GPU with 4864 CUDA cores.
GDDR6 memory of the former provides a bandwidth of 448 GB/s, the second equipped with GDDR6X memory, this figure is 608 GB/s.
According to the video published by Galax, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with faster memory provides a slightly higher level of performance compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 in a number of games.
The tests were conducted in three games: Spider-Man Remastered, Cyberpunk 2077 and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not specify what resolution and graphics settings were used.
In the first two games, Galax compared two almost identical scenes.
In Spider-Man Remastered, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory provided 81 FPS of performance, while the GeForce RTX 3070 provided 75 FPS.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the advantage of the model with GDDR6X memory remained.
It provided an average of 70 frames per second, and the GeForce RTX 3070 model - 61 frames per second.
But in A Plague Tale: Requiem game GeForce RTX 3070 model was faster - 81 vs.
78 FPS of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory.Officially the company has not yet presented GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Plus card.
At the time of writing this text the gas pedal is not listed on its official website.
However, Galax's statement once again confirms that this video card model with GDDR6X memory does exist and will soon go on sale.

NVIDIA: GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card will provide over 500 FPS at 1440p resolution in Overwatch 2

There is still a month before the GeForce RTX 4080 is released, but the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 will go on sale next week.
On this occasion, NVIDIA company decided to share the data about the performance of their most powerful card in the game Overwatch 2.
There is information about the performance of other models as well.Image source: VideoCardz According to the published NVIDIA graphics, GeForce RTX 4090 is capable of delivering more than 500 frames per second at 2560 × 1440 resolution at maximum graphics settings in Overwatch 2.The difference between the GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080 16GB is very significant - 139 frames per second.
Both cards are positioned by the manufacturer as solutions that can deliver more than 360 frames per second, which is ideal for owners of monitors that support 360 Hz refresh.
Image source: NVIDIAWhat about the younger version of GeForce RTX 4080, equipped with 12 GB of memory, it in the same game Overwatch 2 demonstrates just under 300 frames per second.
Unfortunately, the GeForce RTX 3090 has not been added to the performance chart for comparison.
However, NVIDIA did provide information on the performance of the GeForce RTX 3080, which the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB beats by 47 frames per second.NVIDIA recommends the following graphics settings for Overwatch 2 depending on which graphics card you have:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1080p to get 144+ FPS;NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti - 1080p to get 360+ FPS;NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 16GB - 1440p to get 360+ FPS;NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - 1440p to get 500+ FPS.

You can play TES: Skyrim, Battlefield V and many other games on the Ryzen 7000 integrated graphics

The first reviews of Ryzen 7000 processors that began to be published yesterday weakly touched on the built-in RDNA 2 graphics, which is present in all AMD next generation chips.
The manufacturer itself has previously confirmed that the Ryzen 7000 \"embedded\" is not intended for gaming, but only for basic tasks.
HotHardware and TechPowerUp portals have looked into whether this is really the case.
It turns out that you can play games on the \"embedded\" of the new Ryzen.Image source: HotHardwareFirst, let us remind you that the embedded graphics is part of the chiplet with output interfaces.
It is made according to the 6-nm process.
The basis of the graphics core is a pair of RDNA 2 blocks, which together have 128 stream processors.
The clock frequency is 2200 MHz.
According to journalists, the integrated graphics in Ryzen 7000 processors is really not suitable for playing modern games.
Especially when it comes to gaming titles that rely heavily on graphics performance.
They refuse to run at an acceptable level of performance even when using minimum quality settings.
For example, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, as well as Watch Dogs: Legion and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.Raster performance \"embedded\" processors AMD new generation is at the level of graphics cards Radeon HD 4850, Radeon HD 5670 or Radeon HD 7730 and not too far behind the Radeon R7 250.
These are very old video cards released more than 10 years ago.
The GeForce MX150 and Intel UHD 750 are also cited as examples with comparable performance.
In the first case, the performance is almost the same, in the second, AMD graphics are \"slightly faster\".
But you shouldn't expect more from two RDNA 2 computational units, working at 2200 MHz.
At the same time, new AMD Ryzen 7000 integrated graphics handles old and not too demanding games.
Battlefield V, Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Starcraft II, The Elder Scrolls (including Skyrim) and thousands of other classic gaming titles should run on \"embedded\" without problems.
Especially in reduced to 720p resolution.
It is also noted that the graphics cope well with platformers, including modern.Running more or less modern games on the built-in graphics Ryzen 7000 processors is also possible.
For example, HotHardware tested it in games such as Minecraft, Neon White, Prodeus and multiplayer Risk of Rain 2.
In all of them, the Ryzen 7000 \"embedded\" showed a \"normal level of performance.\" Fortnite was not left out either.
We ran it at 1080p resolution with DirectX 11 on medium settings.
Under these conditions, the game averaged 30 frames per second.
Reducing the resolution to 1600 × 900 pixels increased the average FPS score to 50, and by lowering the settings even more, the game was able to achieve more than 60 frames per second.
Despite this, journalists would not recommend the Ryzen 7000 chip's integrated graphics as a permanent gaming solution.
