Alrighty then, long RDNA2 impressions cringe thread time because I definitely don't have work to do and am definitely not procrastinating. I swear.
Just general thoughts yadda yadda and mostly rambling.

So to start off, rasterisation performance. I'm going by the HWU review here because they covered the most games, but simply put, it's nice. Top-tier 1080p and 1440p beatstick which does OK at 4K. Slightly below a 3080, but that's fine by me. Decent here.
Raytracing performance - now this is the big weird one. For starters, the DXR drivers were broken lmao. Thank you AMD.
On performance it's weird. It's roughly 3070/2080Ti mostly, but you have Dirt 5 where it's class leading and Minecraft RTX where the Series X dumps on it. Odd

Maybe it's a case of lack of optimisation where Dirt 5 is overly optimised for consoles? Maybe it's just the lack of RT effects in the game compared to others. Only time will tell. Either way, I'm ignoring Minecraft RTX because it loses to Series X lmao.
Onto DLSS and Super Resolution and I originally felt AMD should have had it ready by launch. But on HotHardware's stream they stated they're working on a cross vendor solution for easy implementation by game developers for any product, be it console, AMD or Nvidia.
Lastly, stock. I'm not going to say much because Twitter's multi-tweet thing is broken and they should feel fucking ashamed. Written out this section twice now before losing it to the void.
*Ahem*
Anyway, stock was shit as expected, AMD's PR about it made me want to cringe hard

And god would things have looked so many times better if AIBs could launch today as well.
There's no real reason to delay them now you have a damn good cooler AMD. For anyone who wants a card to run near stock your cooler is bloody well fantastic.
