      If the last season had never happened it would be debatable. I’d have probably given the edge to Jamie.

        Personally, I don’t think GoT was good past season 4. The drop in quality writingwise was staggering and characters like Jaime were being progressively treated like a joke because they cut out significant parts of the plot from the books and flat out skipped a whole book because they got bored. Jaime’s arc in the show stopped being good after season 4. Just like everyone else’s. His arc in the books was way more interesting. He didn’t go back to cersei and go get Myrcella. He was put there leading sieges and shit while leaving cersei behind to her own devices.

        It’s sad we will never get the rest of the books, but I’m sure George would have thought up something way better for Jaime than what they did to him in the show for the last four seasons.

        Meanwhile, Zuko’s arc worked because they knew what they were doing with him from start to finish.

    It’s rather interesting because nVidia went “Oh, you’re making GPUs now? Well then, let me start making CPUs then”

    Did they release new graphics cards recently? I bought the arc and I kind of liked it. I really want another player in the GPU game

      Rumored to be releasing high-end tier soon, so something to compete along the lines of 5070/5080/5090

        Highly doubt they will even try to compete with a 5080/5090.

        If I was intel, I would release a 5070 competitor much cheaper with more memory.

        That is going to cut into nvidias top line even if it’s slightly slower.

        In Celestial and Druid I would start targeting *080s and *090s respectively.

        Work your way “up” the ladder slowly, so you nail every release.

        If they rush it and deliver something that is 5080/5090 priced, but can’t match, they are going to lose their goodwill they have been working towards with Arc and Battlemage…

        Patience is the only way to start winning substantial market share from Nvidia.

          I’d buy that. Maybe not a 5000 series, because I currently have a 4070, but if they were to compete with a future 6070 with more memory and a cheaper price I’d buy that.

          Yea, I don’t think performance wise it’ll go exactly toe to toe with the 5090 but all signs point to them releasing 24GB models so that’s probably what they’re doing. But it’s unclear if those 24GB+ models are just for the Pro/AI models they’ve been talking about or coming to their consumer range

    As far as I’m aware Intel GPUs are nothing to write home about. Thus I conclude this must be an ad and ads get blocked. Manually if I must.

      I mean they aren’t going to blow AMD or Nvidia out of the water, certainly not in the high end cards. But from my experience with my Intel Arc A770 LE 16GB under Linux. It’s been amazing.

      Pretty much zero driver issues, 2K completely max settings at or really close to 60fps in all of my games I’ve tried. All for $350 (But that I’ve seen as low as $260 for the non LE versions in store before GPU pricing skyrocketed again)

      I’m all for Intel going in with the B series, especially if it’s as plug and play as my A770 is with Wayland using the Mesa driver and has more performance to compliment.
