Thread 106378677

did anon actually buy a 9070xt? what for? do you have any regrets?

>>106378677 (OP)
nyet, 1050 Ti is fine

if you use linux (which 95% of this board does, you consumer fucks are tourists that don't belong here), you only use amdgpu.

>>106378677 (OP)
Nvidia is better, regardless of what Reddit says.
>but AMD is le cheap
I wonder why.

If you use Windows sure but Windows is 30% slower than RADV AMD today.

regrets for what?
FSR4 is embarassing DLSS, AMD pricing is embarassing nJudea, and we aren’t scared to install drivers

>>106378728
Did Nvidia fix their drivers yet? For WIndows? For Linux? For FreeBSD? It only seems like AI retards buy Nvidia because they only use proprietary shit.

I literally sold my 5070ti for a 9070xt because the 5070ti doesn't work.

>>106378743
1050 Ti is fine

>>106378733
I use Linux.
>106378743
yeah Nvidia drivers are a JOKE. I mean, everything works well, but you lose some stuff if you're a Linux user. The actual cards themselves though are really good (not an AI tard).

>>106378719
I have used nvidia in linux for 15 years. apt install nvidia-driver. That's it.

>>106378719

intel iGPU is fine too

>>106378677 (OP)
I bought an 9070xt because I could and no regrets. It works really well on Linux.

>>106378677 (OP)
no stock in regular shops

>>106378719
I dont get the meme that NV drivers are bad on Linux. In the past sure. No problems on fedora here :/

>>106378719
half the people "using amdgpu" are actually doing software rendering for everything since they never actually set it up and just assumed it works out of the box

>>106378719
i love how my computer crashes if i leave videos playing in firefox for too long and how videos freeze when i move my mouse, its much better than the completely perfect performance that i was getting from my gtx 1080

Linuxsissies will spend 1 million hours learning programming and console hacks but won't take 2 seconds to discover the option to switch to studio driver in Nvidia app

>>106378677 (OP)
Yes, I bought one back on launch day (Mar 6) for $750 usd (white xfx swift) + tax on newegg and got it in the mail a few days later on Mar 11.

It's been mostly awesome. I'm playing at ultrawide 1440p (3440 x 1440p, 21:9) and I'm always between 100fps - 200fps in most recent and other demanding games at ultrawide 1440p on ultra settings, so of course regular 1440p will have even higher FPS

I don't use upscaling most of the time and I almost never use frame gen since it looks like shit regardless of AMD or nvidia

The only game that has issues is MH wilds since the shader cache file for that game doesn't ever want to make itself, but that's the dev niggers fault on a recent update

But yeah killer 1440p and some 4k performance.
Linux > winjeet

>>106378677 (OP)
no I did not
my brother bought one at MSRP though and I think at that price he wasn't even retarded
he had a GTX 1080 before that so it seems he is dead set on the $600 ish price bracket

>>106379811
its not a meme, the performance is much worse on linux than on windows

>>106379811
It has to do with performance but also compatibility. Nvidia drivers are not fully standard in OpenGL and what you get is weird bugs in some applications. AMD uses MESA so not as many weird bugs. I don't know about Vulkan but perhaps it works fine because Vulkan drivers are very simple. The advantage of Nvidia is CUDA and AI. Most AI software is Nvidia first.

>>106379864
That doesn't happen at all with AMD. I've used it for years and never heard of experienced such a thing.

>>106379856
>just assumed it works out of the box
it does though

>>106379856
This the biggest FUD I've read today

Idk if I should chuck my 7800 XT yet. I wanted a 9070XT but It doesn't seem like that much of an upgrade.

>>106381736
Not worth it, I'd wait for udna/60 series

>>106379864
that definitely sounds like something caused by your gpu you fucking retard

>>106378677 (OP)
thought about it but

>>106381736
Fellow 7800XT chad here. If you bought the card for 1440 gaming (as you should have), you likely never need to upgrade ever again.
The only reason to upgrade your GPU in the next several years is either because the price is so ridiculously low for a high percentage of performance gain, or you want to step up to 4k

If you stick to 1440, you can run that card until it dies.

>>106382035
>only the 9070 and up have hardware video encoding
they do though? never heard of this

i was thinking about getting an 7000 series card but deciced to hold since i read about that hardare flaw in 1080p av1 encoding that adds some pixels as padding. fixed in the 9000 series but i'll just wait for unda, not really in a hurry to upgrade.

>>106382192
Don't buy RX 7000 cards for hardware encoding, it's not that great.

>>106382192
Odd, I swear I read that the 9060/XT weren't getting it from somewhere. Excuse my stupid fucking incel sources then

>>106382114
Wat fps?

>>106382269
Depends on the game of course but It's usually 100+ on 1440. At the worst you need to turn RT off to get to 100+ on some games.

>>106378997
It gets complicated if you have one of them gayming laptops, that have a CPU with integrated (low-power) GPU (for web-browing, etc.), but also a dedicated dGPU for gayming (and too often are these nBidia). It then gets even more complicated with hibernation and energy-saving states and --Science-forbid!-- you need to use it with a VNC connection after waking it from LAN with a closed lid.

To be fair: These things weren't painless on Windows either, when they first started with laptops with two GPUs, and I'm not sure such an all-AMD setup would be painless nowadays on Linux either.

But if you have one nVidia on a desktop, with just one monitor, and don't have qualms about FOSS, then nVidia is (hopefully, probably) just as you describe, yes.

>>106383008
*Oh yeah, and then that external HDMI connector?
Yeah, sometimes it's connected to the dGPU, sometimes to the APU, and good luck getting it to work with refresh rates, closed lids, yadda-yadda, you know the rest.

(I'm certainly never buying nVidiot on laptop again, ffs!)
(I did get it to work in the end, but I'm pretty much 1337 and I had to sweat a bit.)

The battle of the Vaseline smears.

>>106382192
>1080p av1 encoding
why are you encoding in 1080p? is this 2011?

>>106379856
you would notice very quickly if you were using software rendering lmao

>>106382035
>just wanted a card for hardware AV1 encoding
>all the 7000 series cards have it
but it's barely any better than their hevc encoder, which is just on par with nvidia's h264/x264 slow, plus it cannot output 1920x1080 because of that stupid alignment issues
>only the 9070 and up have hardware video encoding in the 9000 series for some reason
complete nonsense, the 9060 and 9060 xt both have video encoders
>can't use intel because ARM
?
>no use for pcie gen 5 because gen 4 limit on board
?
>7650GRE seems like a 7000 series Greatest Hits card
>cool China exclusive SKU
it's like a slightly different rx 7600, just buy that one instead?

>>106382252
rx 9000 isn't great either
it's a bit better than rx 7000 but still miles behind nvenc and quicksync, honestly the encoder improvements of the 9000 series are overall very overrated.

>>106382192
>i read about that hardare flaw in 1080p av1 encoding that adds some pixels as padding
nta but fyi in case you end up getting an rx 7000 anyways: the main issue is actually that av1 doesn't support container level cropping like h264 and hevc does, which means that this could be eventually fixed if https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-spec/pull/346 gets merged
into the av1 spec and considering that av1 encoding quality is virtually unchanged between rx 7000 and 9000, there'd be no real difference between the two at that point.
of course i wouldn't gamble on this to happen but you could i guess
