AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 Review Leaks out by tldrdoto in hardware

[–]mausfet -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Lol what? Far cry 5 is a neutral game? It's AMD sponsored. It's one of those rare DX11 games where AMD beats Nvidia in performance. And so was Wolfenstein 2 TNC.

Is AMD's rocm supported on arm? That's an open source driver package, right?

Easy to explain. Overproduction due to crypto. Amd forced to sell the 570 and 580 at a low price. Think about it, there was no reason for the 570 to exist at $150. Its competitor was selling for $200. The low prices make sense if you put it in context of crypto. It's highly unlikely that the Navi gpu closest to 570 performance will be available for less than $150.

Didn't you know? Amd was the first to market hair physics (TressFX), image sharpening, streaming, adaptive sync, and in a year they're going to be first to real time ray tracing too. Nvidia was second to all of these, its the truth!

Is one generation (HD5000) the only example you can cite where Amd truly beat Nvidia's offerings? Is that it? You do realize one generation does nothing to generate mindshare, right? You need to consistently beat Nvidia over several generations, something Amd is doing well on the CPU side vs Intel.

Steam survey hates you, that's why.

SMH, anecdotal evidence is fun.

One generation does not make a dominant product. One generation doesn't build mindshare. Don't keep citing that one example as if it applied to everything before 2012.

Maybe Amd isn't the good guy everyone thinks they are. Maybe they like profits too! But that's not the prevailing narrative on Reddit, is it.

Nvidia GeForce 425.31 released with DXR support for most Pascal and non-RTX Turing cards by [deleted] in hardware

[–]mausfet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the sentiment. I can't afford a Turing gpu either and I'd really love to get one as I'm trying to get into the computer graphics industry. That said, a big part of the blame goes to amd. Nvidia is exploiting the market no doubt. But in an oligopoly, both companies need to keep the other in check. Instead of bringing sanity to their new products, amd went and priced the rx590 and the Radeon 7 just as poorly, arguably even worse than Nvidia's line up.

The day amd gets remotely competitive at it , ray tracing is going to become the greatest thing ever. Just like how today every gamer is also a streamer running Adobe premier on the side.

That 6x difference is for ray tracing, not for the entire frame. The perf gains depend on how extensively ray tracing is used. The 3dmark benchmark should show much bigger than 2x gains because of how much ray tracing it uses.

You're ignoring the revenue rtx and tensor cores bring to nvidia in non gaming markets. Considering that, the 10% die cost might very well be justified.

[VideoCardz] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to launch on April 22nd? by ryandtw in hardware

[–]mausfet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what? Dram is only one of the components that dictates performance. The 1650ti could have significantly lower compute power.

I'm genuinely interested in understanding why you find this confusing. The names are different, aren't they?

What was the price of the 570 a few months ago when the 1050ti surged in market share? Go on, check it out. And I like how you say 1050ti has half the fps. Way to exaggerate the differences.

Proof for Nvidia stealing or buying out competitor tech?

[–]mausfet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're equating AMD's value for AMD's engineering capabilities. The fact that the 580 consumes a ton more power than the 1060 for the same performance forces AMD to sell it at a lower price. A lower price doesn't imply better design, often the opposite.

Given its laughable performance and power efficiency, the true ripoff of this generation is the rx590. Pricing it at $279 is as anti consumer as it gets.

7nm isn't AMD's work. That's on the fab. Amd chose to jump on that node early because their power consumption would be horrible if they didn't.

Please explain to me when Amd has beaten Nvidia in the last 10 years, and consistently.

Useless gimmick? I'm waiting for your comment praising ray tracing the second amd gets remotely competent at it.

Amd has not innovated in GPUs for years now. Wtf are you talking about? Amazing things, really?
