>proprietary software like physX
PhysX was already proprietary before Nvidia bought it, if you have an AMD card you don't use PhysX so why do you even care? also AMD made their open source version similar to Physx and they abandoned it completely, just like every project they work on.

>G-sync
If you've got an AMD card you've got no business using G-sync, it doesn't affects you at all and lets just ignore the fact that G-sync came 11 months before Adaptive Sync

>goyworks
Once again, if you've got an AMD GPU you shouldn't be using Nvidia Features.

This is correct. If Intel and Nvidia were to release the best products AMD would no longer exist. Because of anti trust laws AMD has held progress back. Even if Nvidia was the only gpu company, people would want better products each year. Hence incentive for improvement. Its better if AMD dies and the IP gets sold to a better company.

AMDs only place in the market is shitty cheap gaming cards, which they hold back progress because gamedevs now have to worry about optimizing for their shitty cards.

>Black box

I see you are an ignorant one, GameWorks are just like any API draw call, any debugging software can read what it does.

Years ago GPU vendors didn't needed the source code to optimize their driver and they don't need it now despite AMD crying about it.


Not to mention that even if they get the game's source code they can't optimize THE GAME ITSELF without having to rewrite THE GAME SOURCE CODE without the game developer approval first(good luck), at best they can write their GPU drivers to optimize the shaders for their specifics GPU architecture, if it comes down to that it would actually be a lot more easy to use a debugger like Nsight to see what the draw calls actually do and tackle the problem directly than trying to read thought tons of lines of code from a source code that they can't even modify.


The fact that people believe GameWorks is a blackbox is really baffling, you really underestimate how good debugging tools are.

More like he really underestimates how fucking difficult it would be to optimize something by reading the source code of an implementation unique to game X in particular. Because every game might have a different version of the framework or a completely custom implementation. Either way it's unlikely the source code will be 1:1 between games.

I don't think AMD will ever finish optimizing their driver. Why would they bother when they can delegate that work to game devs with DX12 and Vulkan? I mean unless both DX12 and Vulkan fail spectacularly, there is no need for them to continue any work on DX11/openGL driver optimization.

Then they'd default to the 5% increase per generation like Intel has been doing ever since Sandy Bridge. And they'd remove all overclocking support, except on special "K" suffix GPUs, which cost premium, and come with a thermal solution that prevents it from being actually be able to overclock.

Except that AMD chips are now in every console of the market, so devs don't even *need* to optimize for their cards, since the Vulkan/DX12 codepath works fine.

Are you retarded? Seriously, how can you be this stupid?
Raptor is RIGHT THERE IN THE DRIVER INSTALLATION, you idiot. On topof that, you have several third-party alternatives for GPU-accelerated recording on AMD cards.

That's now how optimization works, fucktard. Both AMD and nvidia analyze the draw calls that software makes and then optimize driver accordingly. If the game is somehow broken on their hardware and code changes are required, they need to contact the developer for a game patch. They do not patch games themselves.

There is no instance where either AMD or Nvidia looks at the code of TressFX/gameworks for optimization purposes. That's RETARDED. It's so much fucking harder to do that than it is to see what the software spits out and optimize according to that.

I was a huge AMD fan boy for the longest. Had an fx-9370 since launch and r9-290 xfire setup for a while. Then I saw the futility of it all when my CPU at 5.1ghz was getting shit stomped by a stock 4690k. When my xfire setup was hitting 92C under gaming loads in a wind tunnel of a case, and still only giving a stuttering mess (because of drivers or lack there of) compared to a single card.

I was hype for Zen but I've long given up waiting. Bought an i7-6700k.

optimization for newer versions of gameworks etc. it will play the games at a slightly better quality with a 2 - 3 fps frame drop. the gimp is a myth the drivers just push forward updates for all of nvidia's softwares which will always slow an older card a little.

Yeah you just need to buy an Ageia PhysX PPU™ or run it on the CPU but it was 2500% slower than it's now on CPU compared to any other cpu physics engine (havok, bullet...) cause now is x86 and it uses simd optimizations and back then it was x87.

Is there a good reason why I should use slower GPUs and CPUs that run hotter and have bad software and drivers?

I don't want AMD to go out of business because NVidia and Intel will skullfuck the lot of us with no competition but AMD basically torpedoed themselves with bad business practices and architectures.

They never should've sold their fabs. They already couldn't compete with Intel pound-for-pound on a technical level but there was a market there for delivering the most bang for the buck and they just blew it time after time.

I have a 1080 and the GFE3.0 shit almost makes me wonder how fucking shitty the future of PC gaming is gonna get if AMD goes under at some point.

We really need someone to break into the GPU market. Intel's chip designers design their integrated graphics like cards from the 90's in terms of architecture which is too bad. Intel getting serious in the GPU market and getting into a slapfight with NVidia would do us all a world of good now that AMD isn't worth 2 fucks anymore.

AMD open source:
Vulkan <- This is not mantle.
GPUopen <- They provide tools highly optimized for gcn, doesn't seem too useful.
FreeSync <- Hope they manage to improve this feature, fix the current issues and make it in a way that panels have to pass some quality control to be announced as freesync cause there's some problems on lots of panels with freesync right now.

Nvidia open source:
Muh Linux <- WRONG albeit there's some contributions done to linux by Nvidia the official drivers are not open source.
Vulkan
Opengl
Opengl: AZDO

Nvidia have done lots of contributions to existing open source projects but they don't usually open their own.

Vulkan != mantle, Vulkan has lots of contributors, also mantle is not open source they never bother to do it they just gave the code to the khronos group so they can reuse part of it for vulkan but vulkan is a lot more than that code.

PS. The precursor of mantle/vulkan/Dx12 was opengl with the AZDO project that nvidia created and then invited AMD and Intel to join to, and it worked great.

Here's the thing. You said "The 970 has 4GB of GDDR5." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a engineer who studies GPUs, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one says the 970 has 4GB. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. It's not the same thing. If you're saying "VRAM family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of GPU RAM, which includes things from DDR2 to GDDR5X to HBM. So your reasoning for saying the 970 has 4GB is because random people say "the 970 has 4GB?" Let's get system ram and cache in there, then, too. Also, saying 3.5GB GDDR5+.5GB DDR0=4GB GDDR5 is incorrect. It's not one or the other, that's not how VRAM works. 3.5GB is equivalent to 3.5GB. But that's not what you said. You said 3.5GB is equivalent to 4GB, which is not true unless you're okay with calling .5GB DDR0, .5GB GDDR5 which means you'd say DDR0 is equal to GDDR5, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

I don't even like nvidia, but you're wrong. It does have 4gb, it's just the last 2 modules share the L2 cache.

Yes, but what he said is still true. In practice nobody considers it a 4GB card because the last .5 is a piece of shit that makes the whole thing worth far less than you bought it for.

I buy nvidia because it's better. Sorry.

You serious mate? Nvidia's linux open stack is topkek.

All these nvidia linux hypocrites are using closed stack rofl.

The only reason I consider buying a graphic card.

If you play games, you have a containment board for that.

OP is a retard.
If you want to use Linux or BSD, you buy Nvidia.
Even SLI works on FreeBSD.

Fucking fag.

Literally a malware bundled to the official drivers.
Disgusting.

>I had zero issues with both of them.
Wow, I didn't know the open source Linux AMD driver supports the R9 380 100% now. That's some progress right there.
Last time I tried my 7870 shit was full of white screen of deaths each second boot.

> 3.5 disaster
The whole push for 4gb was retarded.
The 970 is NOT a 4K card.
On 2K, you barely use 2gigs of vram.

Rainbow 6 used most of my vram with the "ultimate epic high textures", and it was 3000mb or so. That's fucking it.
GTA? 2.1gigs?
Overwatch? 700meg?

So fuck off.
This vram ricing is like amd core pushing.
Or phone makes muh hexaoctogigahectacore cpu that can open chrome in 10 seconds!!111

> implying you can use an AMD card on Linux
In the past, like 5 years ago, there was a sweet spot when you were able to install the prop drivers and had 3D acceleration in games. Before that it was impossible to install them, now they are just broken as fuck.

So no, you can't.
BSD? Hah, lol.
>>
>>56785728
How many times did you run the tests?
Also, with a 780 TI and basically any 7xx card, you have GPU boost.

That means each time the card is cooler, or kept cool, can do more frames. So even if you had less FPS in the next 3-5 runs when you tested the new drivers, the card could have became hotter, thus allowing it to boost less.

Just a theory, I am not defending anything here.
If my game runs at 61fps already, it's fucked anyway.

The AMD open stack is broken.
And now since they "focus on open source", they broke the closed one too.
So it's a big fucking pile of mess.

I don't know, between working closed source and not working anything, I would pick closed.
>>
>>56804897
lmao. The open source driver runs games as good if not better than Windows on my 7970. I think you have AMD confused with Nvidia as far as the whole 'open source driver a shit' deal.
>>
>>56794730
I wish there was a better competitor for Intel and Nvidia but unfortunately, AMD is all we've got. If they die, Intel and Nvidia will be guaranteed monopolies in three different markets (Intel for x86 CPUs and iGPUs, Nvidia for dGPUs) which will just make things much worse than they already are.

I would rather have an inferior competitor than a triple monopoly.
>>
>>56805296
>Intel and Nvidia will be guaranteed monopolies in three different markets
No they won't. AMD's tech won't just suddenly disappear, and it can't be bought by intel/nvidia. It would be bought out by some other large company that might have an interest in the gpu scene. Valve would be the best, assuming they can afford it.
>>
>>56805374
Actually, I kinda agree with you on that one. Still, I'm more optimistic about AMD's future and hope they still continue to survive unless Zen, Vega and Navi are all failures.

Because I got a 970 for crazy cheap.

If there was a 390 or 480 available for the same price I might have bought them instead. Really at the end of the day both AMD and Nvidia are just corps out for your shekels.
>>
>>56783910
even the slow as fuck .5gb of vram is WAY faster than swapping to the disk.
20GBps is WAY faster than any hard drive.

>>56802063
no trademark is "open"

you have to procure rights from the owner of said trademark, usually by licensing. it's not an open widely adapted thing because you have to license through amd, or they will have the outlets to sue you repeatedly when they go belly up.
>>
>>56805374
they wouldn't want it. they make far too much money licensing to nvidia.
>>
gonna keep this vague.

Had 2 gpus in SLI for about 2 days. While playing BF4 one of the GPUs had a white flash loud pop/bang noise and immediately smoke came out and I shut off pc.

One of the gpus has a blown up capacitor I can tell since its sideways somewhat compared to the ones next to it.

Both gpus run and non of my pc was damaged. I plan on replacing the messed up gpu one way or another.

Has anyone had experiences with their gpus blowing up? my evga 1600W psu has served me well with my last SLI config and the psu is fine.

This is the first time something like this has ever happend to me just glad no other components were damaged
