Comment on Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers

I’m looking for something that also does path tracing well if I’m going to drop that kind of coin. It sounds like this chip can be on par with a 4070 for rasterization, but it only gets a benchmark score of 495 for Blender rendering compared to 3110 for even a RTX 4060. RDNA 5 with true RTX cores should drastically change the situation of chips like this, though.

FYI you can buy this this: frame.work/…/framework-desktop-mainboard-amd-ryze…
And stick a regular Nvidia GPU on it. Or an AMD one.
That’d give you the option to batch renders across the integrated and discrete GPUs too, if that fits your workflow.
