They did this with the 700 series/kepler

They held back the "to the metal api" for years

If you think it's bad now, wait until the new apis start being used more and devs get used to them. The 390 will absolutely shit on the 970. AMD hardware was always better

Nvidia is also gimping their users with gameworks

The moment you realise /v/irgins agree with not even "e-celeb" youtuber on some 4k benchmarks where he apparently did manage to get 20 frames on his 980 with a review copy but never shown a full review of any AMD card. Interesting. Also sources >reddit.

Funny tho that Nvidia and From are working together, and guess who will have better performance on launch.

the R9 290x's do overheat really bad especially on reference blowers.

Getting a third party cooler for your AMD card is a must. The R9 390x has absolutely no problem with heat or cooling

Dude were you born yesterday? the 6000 series was reknown for having this shittiest drivers available.

The idea when Nvidia had their 400 series GPU's was "1.7% yields" "wood screws" "house fires"

and when the 500 series came out, all of that shit disappeared

meanwhile. AMD's HD5000 series couldn't fucking hold up because of shitty driver support that caused numerous crashes in so many different games to the point that people had to configure their own driver once it was installed.

Oh wait they fixed it right? not really, AMD came out with their 6000 series GPU's and nothing changed. The HD6950 was a superior GPU to the GTX570 but it could never keep up purely because of shit drivers.

From a price vs performance perspective, no. A decently clocked 390 is the best option.

For raw performance at this price range? Yeah. Generally it performs on par with the more expensive 980.

Far Cry is literally the worst game to do any benchmark with, this has been true since FC3.
Each one of them run like ass, no matter your card.

I run the division with almost everything maxed, the game is beautiful and I get anywhere between 60-80fps with a 970.
I struggle to maintain 60 on FC4 with medium settings, on top of the game being very average graphically.
The same is true for a 390. Far Cry is literally the bottom of console tier garbage games on PC these days, in terms of graphix, optimisation, etc. Its meant to run at 900p 30 fps low settings on consoles, nothing else matters.

so was Nvidia "house fires" was so overblown because it only affected the Nvidia 480

Same with Nvidia Wood Screws because one of the developers put up a display model of the NVidia 480 and one camera man recognized galvanized pointed wood screws were used to hold the I/O bracket on but didn't in any of the release models

because "AMD no drivers" was far worse than "I don't like the way this is set up lemme change it" AMD driver crashes were notoriously common and practically unusable.

Ah, but I wasn't the one that came up with that example. I only used it because it was the best (?) example somebody could give me.

If you think the best (?) example is already bullshit, then I can only conclude that bad driver support really is a meme.

I have a 970 right now and am planning to upgrade once Pascal and Polaris come out but I honestly don't know which to get. Nvidia has some cool features but is apparently being scummy. They release drivers more frequently but sometimes they're fucked up. There's a chart above showing the 970 has a bunch of microstuttering too. Guess I'll just have to wait for benchmarks once both are out.

I heard Polaris is using a 256 bit busy though, which is weird because AMD generally is better with bus sizes than Nvidia.

Unless i'm having reading issues the problem seems to be areas with poor multithreading. There are two areas murdering a single core resulting in very poor performance. It doesn't seem to be related to the gpu at all.

>Their latest drivers

You mean driver. Only 364.41 was broken, the other drivers having issues is because of 364.41 and Windows 10.

Windows 10 driver management didn't flag the 364.41 driver properly. This caused it to install 364.41 and then overwrite some of the base display driver with default Windows 10 VGA drivers, leading to the disaster.

Since then, driver installers cannot remove the parts of 364.41 that made it thorough, because they're considered Windows 10 VGA drivers and can only be managed by a Windows 10 administrator account.

People having issues are retards who use the Express Install option when updating their driver. They NEED to choose Clean Install or run DDU to remove the misflagged driver, or else there will be the same issues with every driver they install.

But hey, why have facts when you can shill AMD

When they started with a clear opinion that one brand is better than the other.

The 4GB Means 4GB campaign from AMD basically kicked it into overdrove. Their followers took it as corporate instructions on how to act like a child.

Anyone should find that campaign ironic especially given their advertised "8GB" 295x2 card is actually 4GB.
