News MTT S80 Graphics Card Drops to $164, Still Overpriced

[Admin]

China’s MTT S80 might seem like a bargain at its ‘singles day’ special pricing, but real-world performance and power consumption weigh heavily on its specs appeal.

Now have one recent review with better results. This graphic card performing better than GTX 1650.

At least such an affordable price should get it into the hands of developers. Then, if/when the next generation launches, software support should be in much better shape.

I don't know if that's what they're thinking, but it's more likely that developers who want one already have it and they're simply trying to liquidate their inventory.

I kind of want one, its getting cheap enough I could get one to throw in my collection. Best deal I found was when someone was selling a Voodoo 5 5500 for 10 bucks complete in box, I snapped that up in a heartbeat.

16GB of VRAM at $164 sounds great if only the software and support was up to par. If AMD really wanted to bring the fight to Nvidia next gen, they should totally do something like this for a card under $200 with proper drivers and support. RX 8500xt with 16GB of GDDR6, anyone?

What good is that much memory, with such a low-end GPU?

On paper the GPU is not that low end, it's on paper specs put it roughly on par with an RX 6800. I think it is the software that is mainly holding it back. And if you're referring to the hypothetical RX 8500xt, ideally (but not unrealistically so) it would have the GPU performance of a 6700xt or better with 16GB of VRAM on a 256 bit bus.

Yes, mainly that. Well, you didn't say anything about increasing the bus width. I thought you were just focused on capacity. Even with a wider bus, you still need a reasonably powerful GPU to run at resolutions where high-res textures & geometry (what usually goes in all that memory) would make sense.
