Yeah I hope the Ryzen 3000 series does good things because that is cheaper then most recent cards or even the 1080ti which are like 1500. Fucking bitcoin...

Not sure why they went with 16gb of HMB2 seems they could of cut cost just sticking to 8gb, and a $500-$600 price point would of made this a clear winner. I guess they needed a way to unload failed MI60 cards.
Their profit margins on these are going to be significantly less than Nvidia's, and they're still only on-par despite these being 7nm and drawing a lot more power.

I may have jumped the gun a little, but there was no proof that last monitor (in particular) would also blink with an AMD card. Just Nvidia's say-so which he so easily accepts @2:33 in the video. Nobody would accept a "hard" fault like that from any manufacturer, unless it could be traced to a driver or a settings issue and subsequently resolved. Also, a couple of the youtube comments from owners who believe they've identified the monitor in question appear to differ.
My pointy stands, there is no proof either way, it smacks of poor journalism, and makes this guy look like an NVidia flunky.
However, I'm not suggesting for a minute that there aren't some (many?) poorly specced Freesync monitors out there that just don't measure up.
The Nexus video you posted is much more informative, and discussion on this subject in AdoredTV's latest is also worth a watch imo. NVidia Vesa Adaptive Sync @ 11:50

Shame no Ryzen 3000 til late May or early June, I assume Computex launch. Though it does look like 16c Ryzen is all but confirmed.

Hanging out for this. My daughter will be getting my 2700X for her new build, and I'll be gleefully plugging a shiny new CPU into my existing, fully supported MB. Thank you AMD.

Since PCIe controllers nowdays are on die you might even be able to use the main PCIe slot as PCIe 4 with just a BIOS update, at least one slot might be short enough on most boards to be within spec.
Should be worth upgrading my 2700x too just based on IPC and clocks. As bonus it would be great to see 16 cores (certainly 2 x 6 from reject dies) later in year. AMD will probably be holding that back to see what Intel replies with @ desktop level. No need to throw away good 8 cores until Intel raises the stakes.

AMD excitement brought me out of lurking. I suspect Nvidia wanted AMD to reveal more at CES.
If you want to go AMD but need a stop-gap, something like an Asus ROG Strix B450-F and a Ryzen 5 2400G could buy you time. If you have a Microcenter nearby, they'll bundle the mobo and APU for ~$240. Just drop drop in a new Ryzen 3000 CPU when it's released (along with whatever video card). My plan, anyway.
I think someone was asking about a monitor. I like my 32" 2560x1440 144Hz LG 32GK650-F. It's possible to find in the $350 range, too.

Id imagine but they probably wont be released til the end of may. And the performance difference will probably be big enough that you would want a 3000 series.

New AMD chips are still out half a year at least (they said mid year I believe?). Even then price drops will not likely by much at all since AMD is now more competitive core per core with Intel. My guess is AMD would rather take higher margins @ lower volume of their expensive 7nm chips while they sell old 12nm cpu stock.

Not sure I'll need or even want the 3x series of chips.
I dont game that much anymore, and what I play runs on my ancient as shit computer pretty well.
The 2700x just looks good value wise. And this thing hasnt died yet so not really racing to replace it.
