>Why is Nvidia so much more efficient than AMD?
Because while AMD makes great hardware, apparently they've outsourced all of their software development to slavs high on paint fumes.

What, old card with old architecture is not as good as new once?

But my GTX 460 literally ran cooler and quieter than my 7950 as well

Explain that

>>56758806
Quit posting Soe, she's the laughing stock of the Dota community

>>56758864
AMD cards used to run really hot and used a lot of energy, that's a known fact

but you're basing your view of AMD's current cards on a card from 4 years ago

I just bought a 480 and couldn't be any more happier, having used only nvidia cards so far

>>56758806
According to what some /g/ users said, Nvidia has no hardware scheduler on their GPU after Fermi. They did scheduling in software.
Although it's causing them to not have any gains in DX12, they pretty much owns most of the laptop market where power consumption matters.

>>56758894
Yes but the 460 I bought in 2011 runs quieter and cooler than the 7950 I bought in 2013

>>56759032
7950 was released in 2012
it's a 4 year old card

i still don't see how it relates to current AMD cards

>>56759090
the RX480 uses alot of power and run hot

is also a current AMD card

what now?

>>56758806
Because AMD doesn't care anymore. They know they're the shit brand, and they'll continue being shit as long as dumb-asses keep buying their cards.

>>56759106
i don't know man, i just bought one as i said and it's not a jet engine, even under load

Because it has a monopoly on software support and better drivers.
The few games that have better AMD support via software, incidentally play better with AMD cards.

It's not a question of hardware as much as its a question of who monopolizes with software.
If all gayme developers treated AMD and Nvidia equally and put equal effort for each brand's drivers and hardware-software compatibility, you'd hardly see any difference in performance.

By the time that future comes, your card will be in the stone age.
The only gayme which would have had any relevance in regards to this DX12 meme (Fable) was scrapped and closed down alongside the developer.
I do wonder why?

I personally buy the cheapest shit card for the time which gets 60fps on some present gen gaymes, and then just decrease the anti-aliasing and all that stupid placebo shit if i ever stumbled upon stutter of whatever.
Doesn't matter if AMD or Nvidia, the difference between the two is hardly noticeable when i'm playing and they certainly won't have any effect on muh gayming skills.

I am more interested in gameplay depth and gameplay mechanics in muh video gaymes, than i am in counting the pubic hairs that a GPU can process on screen at any given time,
so i get whatever fucking card enables me to play current games at the cheapest price.

I simply don't see the point in these GPU fight threads.

Instead of having dick waving contests over negligible fps differences in GPU brands,
why don't you faggots shit on developers for making gaymes that look equal or worse than Homeworld 2,
yet require GPUs that are 100 times more powerful than what HW2 needed to run them?
That's a better question.

Instead of faggot having GPU contests which solve nothing,
try focusing your dicking into shitting on ineffective developers which would actually solve a big problem in the gayming industry, developers who can't code for shit efficiently anymore.

I have an 270x and it runs hot as fuck. It sucks cause its such a great card otherwise and runs most games fine, it just gets super hot.

I don't know, the 560ti, 970 and 1080s that I've owned have all been plauged with shitty drivers. Stopped updating the drivers due to shit breaking all the time.

>>56759422
Nvidia shitting out dirvers that break GPUs because they fuck up ventilation or put them into overdrive for no reason are one thing.
Nvidia drivers being more efficient in terms of coding, and the game devs working more towards making their games function better on Nvidia hardware than AMD, is another thing.

The 460 was a small mid-range chip and the 7950 was AMD's slightly cut down version of their flagship. Would you like to compare 480 or 470 noise, heat and power consumption to the 7950, anon? Because I do miss Fermi so.

AMD didn't have DVFS implemented before poolaris, so every card before that was at full blast 3d clocks and voltage under any sort of load.

heh, the 7950 i bought was first flickering till i dug up a firmware upgrade from a shitty russian forum
then one output stopped working, then another
now nothing works, it just shows up in lspci

AMDbabbies seem to tacitly agree that their cards are inferior, but instead of acknowledging that fact, they instead lash out in a child-like rage.

Why is it so hard to face the facts?

>>56758806
Literally different designs. Nvidia is focused on dx11 and doesn't have unnecessary things like async hardware that dx11 can't use.

AMD has had async since 7000 series. Devs are only recently taking advantage of it because of consoles.

If nvidia put in async hardware, they would start burning holes to the center of the earth because they have little experience with it.

My 4GB 470 draws < 150W, for approximately the same performance or a little less especially in old games. The 30W difference is nothing in real terms (in % it's bad, 25% more), and my card is in passive mode a lot of the time.

I'm happy with it, but I never want to got back to a 300W card. The decreased power consumption was one of the main reasons that I decided to upgrade from the 280x.

That amd 7950 was a fucking flaming offensively loud piece of shit. I didn't even think it's fps numbers were all that. Throttling issues too, I will never go amd again, that's for fucking sure.

Nvidia doesn't have a hardware scheduler using a shitload of energy, but that's also why they only get minimal gains in DX12/Vulkan.

Fucking hate this thing. Always hot as fuck in my room and it is easily the noisiest thing in my computer. Crossfire almost never works outside of benchmarking programs and even when it does it often comes with other problems like stuttering. But hey, at least it looks cool.

Wish I could swap this thing out for a more powerful single gpu. Something like a 1070/1080. Or maybe I'll wait a while for the inevitable 1080 ti.

What a joke.
The reason games aren't optimized for AMD is because it takes too long to get them working at all with hacks.

Meanwhile on the Nvidia side it just werks and they are able to spend the time switching to proprietary extensions to opengl that increase performance.
