AMD has been taking so many W's, they're just giving them away

They’re open sourcing them so I can finally fix the audio bug my Lenovo Ideapad 14API gets on any drivers above 21.8.1. Maybe. Idk shit about software. But i know this is good

I just want Nvidia to make something $200-300 with 12-16GB VRAM, their price increases and calling $500+ “mid-range” is absolutely criminal

NikkiDimes, 10 months ago

I still remember when I got my top of the line GeForce 9800 GTX+ for like $230. Even with inflation, that’s $320…

While I’m no Nvidia fanboy, the rtx 4060 has a tdp of just 110 watts, lower even than that 1060 (with a tdp of 120W, IIRC).

Your point certainly stands for the higher-end cards, though.

I recently bought a used Titan xp and found out it doesn’t support DLSS, but much weaker and only 2 years newer 2060 supports it

Different architecture.

This is a super hefty dose of copium.

AMD has never been a serious competitor. They might have been the choice on a few SKUs through the years but they produce trash compared to Nvidia.

bandario, 10 months ago

Where do you even come up with this stuff? People who give a single shit about raytracing: buy Nvidia. Anyone else with half a brain…

ShittyRedditWasBetter, 10 months ago

👌

The fact is DLSS is really good and weird naming convention aside DLSS 3.5 (which works on all RTX cards, unlike DLSS 3) looks fantastic.

I bought my last two cards solely for DLSS support and unless AMD steps up my next card will likely be Nvidia as well.

I tried DLSS for the first time with Control, and it looks weird. Edges and lines are unsharp, sometimes for a second, sometimes longer. It kind of looks off.

I activated it in-game, is there something else I have to do? Am I missing something?

Qualanqui, 10 months ago

Have you tried turning off chromatic abberation, motion blur, film grain and all that other extraneous fluff?

I have a 3060 and Control is one of my favourite games so I’ve put a lot of time into it with DLSS on but haven’t noticed what you’re describing.

I tend to fiddle with my settings until it looks and handles well but the aforementioned settings are always turned off first thing.

leave_it_blank, 10 months ago

Yes, everything except for film grain, it matches the atmosphere of Control greatly for me.

Maybe I’m just oversensitive, the game runs at max refresh rate of my monitor anyway, so it’s not a real problem. Maybe the new DLSS will improve it.

Anonymousllama, 10 months ago

From the tiny amount we’ve seen of it (and what the digital foundry guys were about to discuss), it looks like DLSS3.5 with ray reconstruction may actually be a game changer, pretty ray traced lighting with inbuilt anti aliasing without a performance hit. Be keen to see how it actually looks with cyberpunk when it comes out.

Amd has been a shitshownof a company since their beginning. Don’t believe they wouldn’t be gouging if they could.

Hadriscus, 10 months ago

I wish AMD offered solid hardware ray tracing… Nvidia has a near-total monopoly on GPU rendering workstations, because there’s simply no competition.

I love the “she/they/it”

backhdlp, 10 months ago

Not sure how to interpret this, but thanks, I guess

NightAuthor, 10 months ago

Well, I feel like a he/they/it. I don’t know if you mean it the way I interpret it but… I was raised in a way and time that felt to nudge me towards masculinity having been AMAB. But I don’t feel like I fully subscribe to the idea of being a “man” a “he”. But also for whatever reason I do mostly fit under that gender identity, and have always used he/him. So now-a-days I’m thinking of myself as more of a “he/they”. Mix in a bit of existential thinking, and a general lack of care about my pronouns… I’ve literally thought about putting “he/they/it” as my pronouns.

But I’ve refrained out of concern it would be taken as being dismissive of other’s gender identity, and/or the idea of gender identity altogether. When I only feel that way about my own gender identity.

So yeah, I saw your name and identified with it, it brought a little joy to my day, and wanted to share that with you.

backhdlp, 10 months ago

Oh cool. I thought you might have meant that in a sarcastic way, talked about them being in my display name, or in another way.

Which License?

PrivacyBean, 10 months ago

In a somewhat related note. Would anyone be able to recommend a upgrade/sidegrade option to go amd over my 3080ti? Just been meaning to be done with Nvidia

the_q, 10 months ago

6950xt is a good value if you can find it on sale.

sounddrill, 10 months ago

Intel does the same thing with drivers

Nvidia is only now catching up

eldain, 10 months ago

Wait, does this mean the adrenaline software is finally out for linux? Can we undervolt/set fan curves now? The interfaceless free driver is so freaking noisy with my gpu.

eldain, 10 months ago

I checked, you guys are still celebrating the mesa code that was contributed ages ago -.- Yes it works and it’s foss. And AMD has been lazy on linux ever since, we get the bare minimum. They don’t beat nvidia by much imho.
