There is also a hot key to toggle HDR, I think it's windows key+B

Try taking screenshots with the AMD control panel hot keys. That should work better for HDR.

DF actually talked about the die size specifically:

I'm not sure that is the case. I know for sure that the games doesn't allow GPUs without enough Vram to enable full RT, but I haven't heard anything about it being Nvidia 4000 only. Most likely performance on AMD is poor, but there is no reason it shouldn't work. Edit: After looking it up, maybe it is Nvidia only. Still not sure if that means 4000 only or if you can do it on a 3000 GPU with enough Vram like a 3090.

Is this the full RT update version or the standard RT?

They have been pretty clear that right now there is no release window, and gamers should not expect it in 2025 and likely not 2026 either. "It's done when it's done." I think they really only just started full production for W4.

They have already said the game is very unlikely to come out until after 2025. Remember that first 2077 trailer? It was released like 6-7 years before the game actually came out. We know that this is just cheap Nvidia marketing, perhaps to indicate they will continue to push Nvidia features; but the average gamer doesn't understand that and they may be left thinking they should buy an RTX5000 GPU if they want to play the Witcher 4... which seems to be the kind of misleading marketing that Nvidia likes to do.

It does not matter at all. Any GPU can pre-render a 3D rendered video.

I've seen this posted on a few tech sites, and the way it's being presented is very odd. This is a pre-rendered video not meant to show off what the game will look like at all, it's akin to the CP2077 trailer that released years before the game. Yet it seems Nvidia wants people to believe this has something to do with the GeForce 5000 series even though this game has no release date planned and likely won't come out until GeForce 6000 or even 7000. https://www.guru3d.com/story/cd-projekt-red-unveils-first-trailer-for-the-witcher-iv-featuring-ciri-on-geforce-rtx-50/

I hadn't watched the gamers nexus review when I posted earlier and now that I have, I am slightly more impressed than I initially was based on skimming some charts. It's a good product, but it's still an entry level card in a market that is skewing more and more away from entry level cards so it's just not very interesting to me. But if they can eventually do something similar at a higher performance/price point, that would be very interesting. a $350-$400 card that traded blows with a 4070 would be a huge win. But even if Intel released a few more GPUs that were at the performance level gamers are more largely interested in, I still wonder if Intel is actually making any money or just undercutting the competition and taking a loss to get into the market. If intel gains traction, are we going to see much price competition from AMD and Nvidia or would Intel just start charging more once they build up a bit of a reliable reputation? Ultimately the thing we need most of all from Intel is real price competition further up the stack.

I mean, it's a win over Nvidia's 4060 GPUs I guess, but since everyone considers the 4060 to be a rediculously overpriced and underpowered GPU, it's not much of a win. If Intel wants to gain any ground they need to put out a GPU people actually want to buy and a 1080p/60 GPU for $250 is pretty underwhelming here at the end of 2024. If their line up is going to be so limited, I wish they had targeted the price performance sweet spot of something in the 4070 range. It's technically a win at its price point I guess, just not one likely to gain any real traction if the only buyers are ones looking to get a slightly cheaper 4060 level entry card. Very few people buy cards that cheap these days, and if they do they probably will consider buying used. A real win here would be a product that excites people at a competitive price and not an entry level card that's sure to be largely ignored. If you bought this for little Timmy as a gift over a slightly more expensive AMD or Nvidia card, you might be setting little Timmy up for a bad time when he tries to play a game that runs into the growing pains that these cards are sure to still have. Drivers have improved a lot but there still far from being products a novice user could reliably use. As soon as little Timmy wants to play an older game or a game that Intel didn't focus on fixes for...

That's a bold prediction. Intel is likely selling these for little to no profit right now to break into the market. They're market presence is virtually nothing right now. Intel would need to be able to sustain very low margin for long enough to catch up and given how things are going so far, I don't see them surpassing AMD in the GPU market in the foreseeable future. AMD was caught off guard by AI/NPU integration with GPUs, but I have no doubt their next line of products will remedy that. If rumors are to be believed, RT performance will see a big uplift as well. Intel GPU dies are huge, much bigger than equivalent Nvidia and AMD cards. They still have a long way to go.

https://www.guru3d.com/review/review-intel-arc-b580-limited-edition-graphics-card/ Feels like a pointless product to me. Price isn't anything special for the performance, which is not very interesting at all.
