Feels good man. Nvidia either has drivers where your kernel breaks everytime you update or boot animations don't work or your card burns.
>>
>>55561621
Didn't play long enough with Vulkan to attest to that but Doom has been pretty damn crashy and buggy for me. 30 hours of play got my 5 CTDs, I had better luck with FO4. And sometimes when the game loads (new level or even just going back to a checkpoint) it would start playing at 6-10 FPS for no reason until I quit and restarted.

I have had quite a bit of fun playing overall but stability has been shit.

I don't really care what's relevant or not relevant. Linux does my work and does it well. ZFS/Btrfs, LXC, KVM VMs, package manager, VNC, excellent network management with bonds, VLANs and OpenVPN/PPTP inbuilt is critical for me. If it means I can play games as well it's a huge bonus. I don't really care about a few FPS difference. If it works well, may as well spend more for a better card. Also you seem to discount the potential Steam OS and Steam inhouse streaming has.

>>55561788
But it is. I have actually tried running a GTX 650 on Linux. I gotta admit Nvidia worked well in my HTPC running OpenELEC.

I like where they're going with AMDGPU, but they're still behind in performance. I can confirm on kernel upgrades with proprietary drivers. The update from 4.5 to 4.6 forced me to reinstall drivers. I hope Vega gets the Polaris treatment in Linux drivers so I can switch whenever 4.8 with freesync comes out.

>but they're still behind in performance
True. Hopefully should improve. Power management, HDMI audio, audio passthrough, video encoding with GPU, video decoding with GPU, updating any component on the system all work without hitches for me. Right now making sure things work and latest OpenGL/Vulkan standards compliance is much more important then performance for AMD on Linux.

It's funny because even though Mantle is the foundation for Vulkan, the Khronos CEO couldn't distance himself farther from AMD if he tried in all of the shit he's ever said to the tech press. He'd always downplay the connection so they wouldn't alienate Nvidia. It's actually quite hilarious how terrible Nvidia's arch is for the future. It's like Nvidia is actually surprised Vulkan became a working thing.
>>
My 970 still runs games on ultra/60fps/2560x1080 but no performance gain from DX12 and Vulcan means it's on its last dying breath before I'll have to start sacrificing details while something like 480 should be fine for years. What's weird to me is that 480rx doesn't get such a massive boost when compared to older amd cards which really makes me think it's literally another, 3rd now, refurbish of 7xxx cards.

That makes zero sense. You said yourself it isn't boosted as much (relatively speaking) by Vulkan compared to older GCN GPUs. It behave differently than older GCN because older GCN was that much worse for DX11 while still being damn powerful when utilized properly.

I wouldn't touch the 1070. The Pascal architecture doesn't seem to be at all worthwhile for Vulkan or DX12, so I have a feeling these nice DX11 figures from the 1070 are going to be short lived.

the 280x is the last time a 7970 was rebranded, the reason the 480 gets less is it had better initial performance and also its a mid range gpu, it is new, but its not made to be powerful but to be damn good at its price, and looking at the bench above, mission accomplished.

I would hold out for the 490 though, as the 480 could potentially drop in price from 240 to 200 for the 8gb and leave aib with a 300$ for cooler and binning to play with.

This bench seems pretty fucked up.
The 960 has pretty much the same performance as the 760, depending on the game the 760 can even have a slight advantage thanks to the bigger bus.
But here we see a sinlge 960 not only beating the 780, 780Ti and Titan, but also a 780Ti setup.
COnsidering that the 780Ti is actually quite similar in performance to the 970 this makes it look even more strange.

I call fake on this one and that before I even saw the 750Ti beating the 760.
>>
>>55561264
When that happens I'll switch to vega if it turns out to be any good AMD cards seem to retain more performance over the long run.

Upgrading to a new flagship every 2 years is a massive burden, might as well just stick to midrange.

Can we expect driver update for the 7xx lineup? I can't imagine they're particularly vulkan/dx12 friendly cards, so I'm not sure drivers would fix it, or even if they're coming (did nvidia say so?).
>>
>>55565029
Drivers should help somewhat, but don't expect anything spectacular.

My guess is that keppler is just missing hardware to fully utilize the advantages of a modern low level API, and using software to fix it is resulting in large performance drops

Rather interesting results, especially considering the date. That was released on the 9th before the Vulkan patch was out.

Test rig looks similar to gamegpu but has a lower clock on the processor and half as much RAM running at a slower speed but that shouldn't be enough to account for what we are seeing.

That benchmark is a vulkan benchmark without async compute. The devs said async compute is enabled with TSSSA and without any AA.

If the benchmark used TSSAA the relative performance from AMD GPU is would be lot faster.

Dev said they will work on other AA and make them use async later on.

They're basically releasing them as they are done coding/testing/optimizing. They could make all the AA do async and release them together in 1 or two years later, but I think you'd see the benefits of releasing things as fast as possible.
>>
>>55565768
Oh, oh, oooooh, so even something like MSAA needs to be explicitly coded for in vulkan/dx12. Somehow I expected that to be a innately available, since it's been such a long lived standard. I didn't even think the API provided it. I think I've underestimated just how low level these APIs are. Thanks.

Basically it's paralleling the GPU to do shaders/AA/compute/render and managing them properly. So each take have to managed properly.

I owned 65 units of AMD GPU since seven years ago and still going.

I don't know anything about anything about the CPU but I can tell you the mouse corruption has been stop occurring for like 4 or 5 years now, I barelly remember it anymore until you just mention it now.

Oh and, APU is shit. better bought a cheap intel CPU and then pair it up with a better AMD GPU if you want a better cheap budget gaming PC.
>>
>>55565979
The truth is that AMD GPUs put a bit more burden on the CPU relative to Nvidia GPUs due to the way AMD's drivers interact with the OS. Windows 10 improved this a great deal for AMD but Nvidia still has an edge when it comes to squeezing performance out of poorfag CPUs. Still, there aren't a ton of games that will fuck you up with a CPU bottleneck before the GPU will. They're out there and some of them are AAA titles like GTA V but I'd guess that in 75% of situations, poorfag builds with AMD CPUs are still going to be GPU bottlenecked, especially at 1080p and higher.

It's a real issue unfortunately, AMD drivers only use a single core, which is why they're pushing dx12 and vulkan so hard since it overcomes this bottleneck
>>
>>55566202
>AMD drivers only use a single core
Well, not exactly. DX11 doesn't know how to effectively use anything beyond the first core and AMD's driver is just weightier than Nvidia's, so the GPU ends up waiting for the CPU at an earlier point relative to the comparable Nvidia card when DX11 is involved.

DX12/Vulkan allow the developers to freely use the CPU cores as they see fit, so modern CPUs will have a way higher ceiling before being a bottleneck issue. Even if AMD's driver is still less efficient, you're not going to see that kind of bottleneck issue in DX12.

As >>55567103 said it was basically for cases where you wanted to do Crossfire but couldn't fit two cards in your case, although you need need to be able to fit a long ass card in your case. Two cards was actually a good bit cheaper than the 295x2 if I remember right so you paid for the cooling and the form factor.

Primarily because their software team vastly outstrips AMD's. The closer you get to the hardware the less control Nvidia have of whats going on in their driver (which is absolutely enormous).

Did you do proper stress testing? A chip can run at xyz ghz but not be 100% stable with some cores failing under stress testing. Prime95 is a good one for catching that as it monitors each core individually.

Other options include vrm thermal throttling or vdroop causing clocks to drop (or straight up crash).
