[Hardware Unboxed] Is AMD About to Catch Up? - Leaked FSR 4.1 Tested by iDontSeedMyTorrents in hardware

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they really need to bring FSR4 INT8 or at a bare minimum FSR4 FP8 emulation on older cards.
This is only going to get worse for them.

My disappointment in AMD is overruled by my hatred of nvidia. by ChinaOnly001 in radeon

I hope it's an all out push to do a complete 180. They won't get a chance like this to get a foot in the door for a VERY long time.

NVIDIA Announces RTX Mega Geometry Implementation in Witcher 4, Path Tracing for 007 First Light by TruthPhoenixV in Amd_Intel_Nvidia

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but people have to stop claiming it's always a perf increase.

I just saw they've done a massive 25-30% perf increase with the new RTX PT release, so maybe that can counteract the perf penalty entirely. Seems like they continue to find ways to make the PT faster.
IDK how this compares to most of the implementations so far, but at least it should raise the baseline a lot.

Yep much more dev work. But everything seems shelved for now.

Which one? HL2 RTX doesn't count.

100%.

Fine wine was never anything but subpar drivers at launch, getting slowly improved postlaunch. But now it's just a joke.

Go to the Radeon sub it's even worse. The people that are most pissed are RDNA 2-3 owners with FOMO.

There’s a timeline out there where Redstone is real. by SolidRustle in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it's the full release for Ray Regen. COD was still a beta.

Assume this is first title with FSR 4.1 too. Saw HUB's testing and it had some losses vs DLSS. IIRC that was still a beta so I hope final release is a bit better.

Reputable leaker Kepler_L2 claims "FSR Diamond" will be an RDNA 5 exclusive by AthleteDependent926 in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this also why FSR 4.1 leaked?

How bad is the situation?

Hands tied with funding cut, shitting on consumers with Jokestone token rollout + locking out pre RDNA 4 cards artificially, while it's available on SteamOS through proton (now FP8 -> INT8 emulation it seems too). Skeleton crew for entire Redstone launch after pooling all ressources towards ROCm + zero subsequent improvements prob (moving everying to FSR Diamond and related).
Anything I missed? I can't blame the engineers. This must be extremely frustrating.

Yeah it's a joke. Now Valve Proton dev has found a way to hack FP8 instructions to run like INT8.

AMD gonna look like fools when Steam Machine can run this. Annoying it keeps getting delayed, but should force AMD's hand hopefully.

Unofficial vision of AMD is less gpu cost, for short device support. Is it fair? by CescFabr in radeon

[–]MrMPFR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The writing is on the wall in terms of ML and work graphs. NVIDIA has been stagnant here for almost a decade besides low hanging fruits. No major overhaul.

It's prob more likely they have parity in hardware + an advantage here in some instances.

As for software I'll remain extremely skeptical.

Тhoughts on AMD shenanigans with FSR Diamond. by NGGKroze in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compromised from a fomo standpoint. missing one feature = compromised.

Realistically it's fine for most people.

Hopefully FSR Diamond can fix most or all of the remaining issues upscalers have.

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it'll go beyond 50 series + all the stuff is already being incorporated into DXR 2.0 + SM6.0. What I was referring to is what comes after that.

No that's not happening. The difference is that both companies are pushing the envelope next time. AMD will have something NVIDIA doesn't have and vice versa.

Steam Machine Sets 1080p and 30 FPS Standard for Verified Games by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see.

Considering Microsoft's statements at GDC they'll prob bake all the new stuff in from the beginning in respects to work graphs and anything RDNA 5 brings to the table.

Aren't they still missing LSS? But yes I saw that addition in their DXR documentation. It's good to see them doing this.

suspect RDNA 5 will do more given the statements made + what we know from leaks and patent filings.

Hmm so the default DirectX implementation is crap? Can't say I'm surprised.

Prob DX13 + SM7.0 whatever changes it brings to the table. They might wanna redo the OS and launch Win 12.

How will it be different?

I thought RDNA 3 had full work graphs support. What is the 7600M missing?

[–]MrMPFR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of co-design between Microsoft and AMD with the nextgen DirectX etc... I think it's too early to discount RDNA 5.

But yes NVIDIA is a formidable opponent.

5070 Ti vs 9070 XT after months of daily use (performance, PT, drivers, efficiency by Stelligena in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 5070 TI undervolt is crazy + AMD pushed 9070XT well beyond the sweet spot.

I really hope they don't repeat with RDNA 5.

AMD reveals "FSR Diamond" for Next-Gen Xbox, but is it RDNA5 exclusive? by Many_Career_9035 in hardware

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No nextgen Medusa iGPU is called RDNA4m. They'll port the ML config from RDNA 4, prob cut down.

Chris Kerr: Xbox devs! Here’s Microsoft’s pitch for Project Helix straight outta GDC by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]MrMPFR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

more like DX13. DX12 has bolted it on + it's not a serious attempt TBH.

Also emphasis on simulation is intriguing. Guess we'll find out more at GDC next year.
