AMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
AMDFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
We should support AMD
We did it gee!
I guess that's good? But when it's just Nvidia left how long will it take Qualcomm/Intel/PowerVR/Vivante/ARM to make a desktop class GPU? Would they even bother?
>>53035581

If they wanted my sympathy they would make their products useful for me.
By supporting AMD in it's current state you basically encourage them to release garbage products because "goyim will buy it anyways"
Sorry friends but as long as AMD won't cater to my needs I fail to see why on earth would I give them my hard earned money.
Linux desktop has a minimal desktop marketshare.
Even less market share when it comes to consumer-tier graphically intensive tasks like videogames.
Yet nvidia releases working Linux drivers with performance comparable to much more popular windows.
Intel makes their iGPU drivers opensource and work mint
And AMD doesn't.
Fuck AMD.
>next gen consoles using Nvidia hardware

It's over /g/.
Intel monopoly = 5% gains per tick, 20% more expensive
Nvidia monopoly will likely be the same.
Anyone defending the monopoly is a moron.
But anyone purchasing inferior hardware per $ is also a moron.
wat do?
>>53034352
Nvidia's quarterly revenue is only $100 million away from AMD's market cap
Oh god, Polaris better be good
They had 82% last year.
That means Nvidia now owns 94% of the market.

Why amd is shit, the pasta 1/2
>360
Re-branded 260 with higher clock speeds and 2GB of VRAM, priced similarly at release, with street prices being closer to what the superior 260X used to be
>370
Re-branded 265/7850 with higher clocks - again, similar MSRP, but with the superior 270 diminishing and no replacement released, its prices haven't gone down as much as they should be.
>380
285 Re-brand at cheaper MSRP and 4Gb available. Good budget card, especially against NV's 960, albeit cut-down memory bus from the 280, and barely performing better. It also has a fairly high power-consumption towards Nvidia's offering.
>380X
Tonga in full. Performance lies on Tahiti-level, just like on the 380 - here against the 280X/7970, which is only about 10-20% faster. Doesn't seem worth the additional 50+ Dollars to a 380 right now, you'd be better to drop another 50 into the 390, but it's relatively new, so things might change. (Driver optimization/price drops)
pasta 2/2
>390 /g/ shill
Re-branded 290 (''refresh'') with higher clocks, lower MSRP and more (actually as advertised :^)) VRAM. Nothing bad here as well, but again, power-consumption is an issue among the 970, especially when overclocked.
>390X
Re-branded (''refresh'') 290X with higher clocks and similar to the 290. Can match or get close to a 980 at a much lower price point, but in contrast has significantly higher power-consumption, which in excessive use, can not only contribute towards your power bill, but might also require a new PSU purchase, which may void its price advantage in the first place. Also OC's worse on average, even considering Maxwell's shitty scaling with clockspeed.
>Fury
Cut-down Fiji, can beat a 980 but is a good leap from the 980Ti whilst the difference in price is rather marginal. Likely outclassed by the 390X and Nano.
>Nano
Good card, especially after the price drop. Fully-fledged Fury X at lower clocks, which unfortunately only hovers it around 980-level and barely even beats a 390X, but at least it's pretty efficient, at least until you overclock it. Good for small form-factor builds, not so good as a budget GPU.
>Fury X
Can get close or match a 980Ti around similar price points, but contains less VRAM, uses more power and doesn't overclock as well. Quite a disappointment, at least for its price.
Overall, AMD's offerings are decent, but definitely not outshining Nvidia's. We'll see about Polaris.
>>53035856

>>53041831
from what i know, nvidia did process level tweaks for the maxwell cards, something they did because they foresaw who they partnered with wasn't going to the 20nm node. this game maxwell a fuckinging huge advantage.
going to 14nm, they don't have the process level tweaks because 14nm is still new.
the next nvidia gpu will not be the same leap as kepler to maxwell, a leap still, but not as big.
will be interesting to say the least.
>>53035911
i hate nvidia just due to business practices, the only way to get me on nvidia is to make nvidia the only viable option, which thankfully its not.
>>53035919
how was it a mistake? they launched a card that was faster then what they had but a fairly large margin, and priced it fairly nice.
nvidia seeing this, decided to sacrifice the titan x and release the 980ti at the same price.
amd didnt fuck up, but nvidia just could not let a card come even close to a titan x without competition, otherwise why would anyone go nvidia at the high end?
>>53039092
yea, look at the gpus and benchmarks from when the launched to now, they only got better, where as nvidia... well... fallout 4 patch put maxwell at -10% performance gain, and kepler at -30-40% whereas amd cards got a 30% boost all round.

i already have money set aside for AMDs flagship polaris card. i'm never going down to a 1080p monitor again so i don't have to worry about how dominant nvidia cards are in 1080p.
>>53034352
>does nothing but anti-consumer practices
>records profits
explain
>>53042480
Lack of competition.
AMD can't be called a competitor. They are pathetic.
>>53042480
>produce good hardware and software
>competitor unable to do the same and falls behind
Literally that simple. There's no affirmative action in the business world.
>>53042441
no, with the first one, 980ti was pushed out specifically to fuck amd, get that fact right... 980 ti is also the better card at 1080p but furry more often pulls ahead at the higher resolutions.
as for the titan x, it comes close and can trade blows and if they game isn't a gameworks gimped game (even some that are) it can surpass it
power isn't a real factor in a computer unless you are living in a third world country, and if you bought a psu that is to weak to handle parts, that's your fault, gpus target 300watt for a high end single card, the only reason nvidia isn't that high is because they lie about how much power the card draws, and aggressively underclock the card to make it a lower power card. not to mention process level tweaks, which get shot to shit on anything besides the current 28nm.
yea, i don't use a tv for a pc monitor, shock of all shocks when pc monitors don't use hdmi2 for 4k, instead use display port.
the nano is in a category of its own, if you need a card that small name me your other options that are as powerful, ill sit here waiting. otherwise you use a full card because you don't require that small form factor.
as for the fury, i don't remember the price at launch of it and the 980 at the time, also launch price not what it will go down to when the new paint comes off... as of now, barring rebates and sales, the fury and 980 are the same price, and were effectively the same price when they launched... in fact its easier to find the 980 more expensive than the fury.
fury want a failure, but it was dicked over hard by nvidia.
>>53042476
i probably wont move passed 100dpi without kicking and screaming, as i don't like upscaling images just to read it, i prefer more screen real estate, so long as amd can hit 60fps at 1920x1080/1200 im good,
though i may get a more powerful card and a 120/144/144+hrz monitor.
>>53042534
But AMD's cards are far better choices for the mid range, where people buy GPUs the most, 960/970 vs 380/390, you'd also save $100 or more with a free-sync vs G-sync display.
and shadowplay overall seems to be crap, as you have limited choice on file type/size vs OBS, not to mention you have to give up personal info just for drivers now
>>53042505
amd is as good or better than nvidia in every single fucking price segment, amd also doesn't gimp old cards.
gotta love kids and retards going nvidia because is teh way iz ment to be plaid.
>>53034352
>t. alberto shillosa
>>53042570
the 980ti is faster than the Fury cards simply because it can OC, however with the recent DX12/Vulkan info, the Fury cards might end up faster at some point, much like the 7950s worked out to be faster after optimization.
>>53042568
>shadowplay vs OBS
OBS is not an AMD product.
AMD has raptr/plays.tv GVR, which is actually bretty good.
>>53042568
shadow play gives you a very passable image quality with next to if not no performance hit, this is something nothing else does, as to get no performance hit on anything else you need to record 100% raw which can easily add up to several hundred gb for just minutes of footage.
>>53042534
if there was real regulation, gimping performance of competition wouldn't be a practice you could get away with, at least without massive fines.
if amd dies i wonder if nvidia is going to fall under monopoly, or if they can successfully argue intel is real competition.
>>53042589
we will know when doom comes out, unless nvidia does something fucking crooked to gimp the way the api functions.
>>53042601
Right, but OBS gives you much more control compared to either of those
>>53042608
>this is something nothing else does
DXtory does exactly the same thing if you use it in conjunction with shadowplay
>>53042613
In the early Vulkan Alpha that was just released the Fury X is faster than the 980ti, of course it's not as fast as DX11, but still, it's a sign of things to come
>>53042624
dxtory along with lagrath is the best that it can do for low impact, but there is still a massive impact when compared to shadow play... though that image quality dxtory shits out trumps shadowplay
but 1 minute of dxtory is around 1.5gb for 1080p whereas shadowplay is around 200mb.
literally nothing touches it quality wise and low impact.
i fucking hate nvidia but i give them shadowplay is amazing.
>>53042648
Naw you use DXtory with OBS, you have tons of file size/type control. Really any PC with an FX 8 core or i7 will be perfectly fine with OBS, shadowplay really only helps with low end PCs
>>53042562
>fury more often pulls ahead at the higher resolutions
c'mon man, not at the launch. Fury x is a watercooled card...and the drivers was not optimized at the launch, pic related. When I saw the benchmark I was triggered
>power isn't a real factor in a computer unless you are living in a third world country
My point is the Fury X wasn't supposed to run @1050 MHz but probably @950-1000 MHz. The card is factory overclocked and has a high power draw because the card was slower than expected vs the 980ti
>the nano is in a category of its own, if you need a card that small name me your other
The price was so ridiculous (same than Fury x without the aio)
Should I buy the new 1080 (upgrading from a 780) or get the 1080Ti? Running 3440x1440.
>>53043149
At that resolution wouldn't an AMD be better?
>>53042676
oh, no shit if you have 8 threads you got options, for lower filesize on the fly rendering, but nothing touched shadowplay in terms of how little it requires, outside of straight uncompressed raw.
>>53042779
yea, the price was high, still waiting on you naming the other card that is that small and preforms that good, its literally in a category of its own where they got to name whatever price they wanted, because if you had a system that needed a nano there was nothing else like it.
>>53043625
wait till they come out, nvidia isn't going to have a massive gain over the 980 due to the node shift and they don't have node specific optimizations, its likely going to amd that pulls ahead for the next card generation.

From 12 to 2.
What when wrong?
When will the next AMD cards come out? I'll sell my 290 and upgrade by then.
>>53046193
>>20 years ago I still got more than 12 kind of GPUs manufacture to choose from with different techs and price ranges
And all of them had some bug or performance penalty or API incompatibility. You had to find new drivers or deal with bugged textures or fine-tune graphics so the screen does not fall apart for EVERY SINGLE GAME.
Also, finding new drivers meant buying magazines with coverdisc, since internet was not as common as today.
And 3d acceleration was still optional in any game that used it. Sometimes software rendering got you better graphics (albeit at lower resolution) - better lightning for example.
I think we improved a lot since then. Would've been nice if a third manufacturer was still relevant, though - either 3dfx or Matrox.
>>53046193
I don't think that's a bad thing
We still have a fuckton of cards to chose from, different price and performance ranges and differenct manufacturers
my guess is if we still had 10 brands to chose from we wouldn't have more choice

>>53051598
This is BUUUUUUUUULSHIT
>>53034352
Maxwell was way overhyped and the boom of shills everywhere really helped Nvidia out.
I hate myself for buying the cuck card after the 3.5 bullshit, but it was pretty cheap at $270 with R6 that I couldn't just let it pass by. I'm definitely getting Polaris Greenland though, Nvidia's practices are absolutely disgusting and there's no way I'm supporting their g-sync when freesync is significantly cheaper. Also, AMDGPU is pretty cool.
>>53051598
Nvidia drivers on Linux work perfectly. My old 8800 GT work well on Mint. AMD drivers doesn't work well and with terrible performance.

>>53051826
Maxwell was here BEFORE the refresh 3xx and fiji. Don't blame Nvidia if AMD can't compete.
>>53052032
I'm not blaming Nvidia, I'm blaming idiots like me for buying them. The power savings are minimal even on a third world country and even then, they overclock the cards completely nullifying their power consumption meme. There is also the thing about them consuming stupid amounts energy just idling on a high refresh monitor. AMD isn't safe from this either since they suck at multi monitor prior to Fiji.
>>53051955
Nouveau doesn't even really work for plain desktop use if you have a Maxwell card.
The only way you could count on good OSS video was with Intel, but with Skylake requiring blobs we don't even have that anymore.
>>53052253
So AMDGPU to the rescue? I remember seeing some Tonga benchmarks looking fine.
>>53051920
But nvidia hates freedom, and if you're going to use GNU/linux, you're better off with the company that supports FOSS stuff, their drivers will get there eventually, more so when vulkan goes into full swing. the Fury X is already faster than the 980ti under vulkan, now it just needs to run at DX11 speeds.
