AMD Just Dropped The WORST News EVER!

Nvidia's new fix made your GPU slower. AMD just dropped the worst news ever. Sony is done with PC and Nvidia's releasing what? Welcome everyone to Gamer Mel. Nvidia has even more problems with their new driver made to fix the recall driver. In a recent video, I discussed a major issue with Nvidia's newest driver at the time. Specifically, users were reporting that some of their GPU's fans would stop working even while gaming. Obviously, that's really bad for the GPU. So much so that Nvidia took it down and suggested everyone roll back to their previous driver that they were working on a fix. Well, that fix is officially here with their new 595.71 driver release, and it has other problems. Don't get me wrong, the main issue has been fixed, so you don't have yet another reason to worry about melting your GPU. There was also a major performance issue with Resident Evil Reququum, but a new overtheair update went out that fixed that as well. Unfortunately, there's still another issue with reports of a voltage drop from previous drivers. Of course, just about every driver comes with a small number of users having issues, and that's completely normal. With how many system variations there are, you're always going to have small problems from a minority of users. But this voltage issue has now been reported in multiple places. With a new video out that shows it happening. As you can see, when he does a decent overclock, his GPU is clearly locked to below 1VT. And this keeps the frequency under 3 GHz, while before he could get over 1vt and over 3 GHz. WCCF tech saw something similar when they tested this. What's wild is that they actually got lower voltages when overclocking than at default settings. Though the voltage at stock was still lower than it was in the previous driver, meaning this doesn't just affect manually overclocked cards, though they will of course be the ones primarily affected by this change because without higher voltage, you can't push the clocks nearly as far. And I will say that even at stock, WCCFT was still using a factory overclock card. to interject here really quickly. While I was editing this video, Nvidia released a hot fix for the voltage issue caused by the fix. So, I'll have that linked below. Hopefully, it doesn't break anything else, but we shall see. Regardless, it's clear that Nvidia has got to put more resources into their drivers. Maybe stop focusing 24/7 on AI. AMD just gave us some of the worst news ever and it comes directly from AMD's CEO Lisa Sue. While talking at this year's Morgan Stanley conference, she said, quote, "I mean, the CPU portion of the business has actually far exceeded my expectations in terms of demand, and I was pretty bullish to begin with." She's then asked about shortages where she specifically mentions supply tightness. And this is shortly after a story I covered claiming that both Intel and AMD had warned customers in China about delays. As for why, it obviously has to do with AI. But specifically, a huge reason for this is the switch from training to inference, which is essentially where AI uses the data it was trained on to do things. And this isn't nearly as reliant on GPUs. So, as more and more companies start moving over to inference-based compute, you're going to see this demand grow. And that of course means one thing, higher prices. Now, don't get me wrong, data centers are buying up server CPUs, not consumer parts. But guess what supply line AMD will likely pull from to get more supply, especially with server CPUs selling for so much more. Basically, we started with memory prices going way up, then GPU prices began to follow with storage prices moving up, and now we could soon see CPU prices start rising as well. And if you want to stay up to date on other component price increases, make sure you subscribe to Gamer Meld. For a little while now, Sony has been following Microsoft's lead by releasing PlayStation exclusive titles on PC. I'm talking The Last of Us, God of War, Spider-Man. It's definitely been great for PC gamers, but it looks like the company is now done with that strategy. as Bloomberg just reported that Sony has scrapped plans to bring the Ghost of Yoai and the company's upcoming Saras game to PC along with other games that they've been internally developing, meaning Sony is making a clear move away from releasing their titles on PC. And here's the thing, this isn't the first time anyone said that Sony is doing this. As for why, I'd argue that there are a few possible reasons. First, according to Bloomberg, they point to poor sales of recent titles, it being damaging to the brand, and the rumors that claim the next gen Xbox could be compatible with PC games. According to one post from the former president of Blizzard Entertainment, a big reason is actually Valve, that their new Steam Machine will be a serious competitor to PlayStation because it's obviously made to be more of a living room console. And that likely is a big reason, but also a potential big one, I think. and it was mentioned here is that they're looking to Microsoft. If you saw my recent video on it, you know that Xbox is not doing so good. Besides declining sales, the company just replaced Phil Spencer. So, given Microsoft is likely a big reason Sony did this to begin with, it's clear that it didn't help them. So, why would Sony do it? At the end of the day, this does suck for PC gamers, but it's not at all surprising. Apparently, Nvidia is actually releasing faster GPUs, but they aren't at all what you were expecting. This new leak comes from the well-known leaker Megaiz GPU, who first claimed that Nvidia's releasing an RTX 5050 with 9 GB of GDDR7 across a 96-bit bus. This is a really weird one because it would mean that Nvidia is taking their cheapest GPU and using the new 3 GB modules for it, going from GDDR6 to GDDR7, but then dropping the bus size. Now, I'm only guessing here, but I'd bet Nvidia found that it was cheaper to shrink the bus width and just use the faster GDDR7 with three 3 GB modules instead of four 2 GB GDDR6. And even with the smaller width, if they use the same speed GDDR7, it does still get a slight boost in bandwidth, not to mention having one more gigabyte of memory. So ultimately, this is an upgrade over the regular 50/50, but it's just a really weird one. I have no clue what they're going to call it, but the weird news doesn't stop there because also according to Megaize GPU, Nvidia is apparently releasing an RTX 5060 built from their GB 205. Remember that the GB 205 is the GPU that's inside Nvidia's 5070. According to this, Nvidia has been pushing the 8 gigabyte 560 Ti so hard that they don't have any for the regular 5060. And like he mentioned, that means board partners need to make a 5070 PCB with an 8 pin connector because that's what all the 5060s come with. This one, I will say, doesn't sound like an actual upgrade. It sounds more like what Nvidia's done in the past where they cut down a higherend GPU to put in lower-end cards. So, it'll likely be the same specs and performance just built from a higherend GPU. At the end of the day, it's clear that memory prices are forcing companies to do some really weird things.

AMD just dropped some of the worst possible news, Nvidia's "fix" made your GPU slower, Nvidia's releasing faster GPUs and Sony is done with PC!
