Some of the highlights for me:

Nvidia Keynote video:

Anandtech have blog notes if you want to see what the talk covered but don't have 2h for the video:

RTX 2060 announced.

RTX 2060 Reviews out already:

Nvidia rolling out gsync to other adpative sync monitors.
Seems they've only certified 12 out of 400 adaptive sync monitors they tested apparently, but will allow you to manually enable for others. So a shift in the right direction here (perhaps inevitable with HDMI 2.1 around the corner anyway?)

RTX GPUs will accelerate Arnold (render for 3DSMax and Maya
partnering with OBS; decode, edit, interact, colour correct 8k RED (RTX 2080 and above)

RTX laptops coming out. 40 models so far, 17 of which are Max-Q, so a bigger push on Max-Q there...

If I had one I'd try to break it - as in flash firmware, sideload apps, anything to corrupt it beyond repair.

Then I could be the first person to brick a piece of wood.

Charcoal bricks? I think that could be regarded as "bricking a piece of wood"? :)

No dates or pricing yet. Took me a while to find it until I noticed the screen, it's Radeon VII. I was searching for 7 which brought up 2012 cards :D

That Ryzen chip is looking super good to be honest. They showed engineering sample better than i9-9900k at 30% less power usage. Also it showed it could easily fit another chiplet so it could become 16c/32t. While no pricing or availability announced (just mid 2019) it "could" be Q2 of 2019... which could correspond with AMD 50th anniversary on 1st of May.

While GPU announcement of Radeon VII is somewhat nice, it's not quite price range of what people were expecting. Lisa did mention word "Navi" right at the end of the keynote so we could still get some budget GPU not based on HBM.

I know assumptions are one thing and facts the other... but hey.

This.

It will be great to see what they come out with.

With R7 the price is daunting. Surely they could have offered one with 8gb HBM2? When you think that you can get Vega 56s for near enough £300, ~£600-700 for Radeon 7 is just too much. If I wanted that performance at that price for gaming I'd have bought a 1080 ti 2 years ago :/

I might still be tempted, but all my long-term favourite titles prefer Nvidia GPUs, so if they cost the same...

Also there seems to be a shortage of 1440p 144hz freesync monitors at the moment. Lots of models I've been following are out of stock. I was hoping for some kind of refresh, maybe a push on Freesync 2, but perhaps we need to wait for Navi for this?

AMD have released more numbers for Radeon 7:

It definitely looks like the R7 is intended for content creation and gaming performance is more of a "Oh, it can do some of this too.." kind of thing.
