Posted October 25, 2020 Author That is interesting. Honestly a “3070 Ti” with those specs would be a perfect 1440p card if such a thing is released. I was hoping to grab a new card before Cyberpunk releases but the plain 3070 just does not seem like enough of an upgrade from the 1080 Ti I currently have. Really excited to see what AMDs new cards look like and how Nvidia responds. Current build: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, ASUS PRIME X570-Pro, EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra, G.Skill 2x16GB 3600C16 DDR4, Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, Sabrent Rocket 1TB, Corsair RM750x, Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.

Posted October 25, 2020 I’d love to know what the actual issue was but it forced me to sell the card I had and go back to nvidia. Had issues with a Xfx 5700 and a sapphire pulse 5700xt.

I had a 5700xt and returned it but not because I had significant problems. One of the complications is apparently there haven’t been ANY reviewers that have had any noticeable problems with the 5700xt. It makes me wonder if there was a similarity between the two systems.

I keep seeing people say they aren’t having issues now and that’s great news. Hopefully the new cards are solid because that’s probably the only card I’ll be able to get anytime soon.

GCN based cards have had really great driver stability for a long time, but that comes from not much really changing at all for the time. RDNA will end up the same too if it goes the same path, the other thing is AMD simply does have more resources now too so should be able to deal with this better if they choose to.

Posted October 26, 2020 I have had zero issues with my Sapphire 5700 XT “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Of course the majority of 5700xt owners wouldn't have problems. >50% dissatisfaction rate would be catastrophic galactic failure that requires immediate recall. Now how much of rate would be acceptable? Even if it's only 1% and you sell a million GPUs, that's ten thousands pissed customers writing reviews and their horrible experiences online. We all know Nvidia sells way more GPUs than AMD but the AMD driver complaints are way more numerous and serious than Nvidia. After 6 months of horribly broken driver that AMD themselves acknowledged and finally published a big stability update, the complaints has died down considerably recently. If AMD is smart, their drivers for 6xxx has to be rock solid or public perception of their driver stability is sealed for an other generation or two, and dare I say, for fucking good reasons.

Posted October 26, 2020 On 10/23/2020 at 1:51 PM, FaxedForward said: I personally disagree. DLSS' biggest limitation is that it's not universally supported and Papa Nvidia has to bless your game with AI training to enable it. It's not like an API where the developers can just choose to incorporate it at will. There are less than 20 games that currently support it and only about 25 more with future support announced. I think it would be fair if it was universally available, but Nvidia gets to cherry pick the titles it supports with AI training. So to compare only DLSS-enabled titles and say the 3080 is the best card because it's faster in ~50 out of thousands of PC titles is kind of silly. Pure raster vs pure raster is an objective standard. This is the same thing we saw with S3 and the MeTaL API 20 years ago, it blew the doors off 3dfx/ATi/Nvidia in the small number of titles where it was supported but was objectively inferior elsewhere. Times have changed in a lot of ways but back then consistent performance with no tricks ultimately won out. That's just not true... I have developer access to DLSS 2.0 and you don't have to specifically train the game for it to work... I've had that confirmed as well by nvidia at GTC... There's a dev branch at the moment where it will work with any unreal engine 4 game, whilst I haven't tried implementing it myself yet it doesn't seem too difficult from the documentation.

Yeah, but it still needs to be specifically implemented in the game which means 99% of the games will never see it used. Out of hundreds of games released just this year, we have a list of like 10 games that support it. Some of which are stuck on DLSS 1.x version.

It's less the number, and more the significance of the games supported. Still, going forward, more games will be supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t 50% according to the wildly unscientific poll though. 2 yeses, and one “a little bit” total. What I kept on hearing watching review videos was “we keep hearing about problems but we’ve never experienced any” was the driver problem overblown? You’ve described “horribly broken drivers” I believe your statement was. Did you own a 5700xt? Did you have problems? Not a pro, not even very good. I’m just old and have time currently.

I know there were real problems with multi- monitors set up and some 1080p 240Hz monitors. However just in this forum I already helped diagnose two "AMD GPU driver" problems traced back to bad PSUs. Many people see their games crash and automatically blame the drivers because it's all over the place on reddit. Things can blow out of proportion easily nowadays. Just look at the 3080 SP caps fiasco. How some manufacturers cheap out on SP caps, blah blah. It turns out it's mostly just a driver bug. That gets me wonder how many are actually AMD driver related.

Posted October 26, 2020 They'd need to radically redesign the driver, as of now it's still ATi Catalyst with tons of stuff tacked on which makes it extremely convoluted - and at least half of the stuff simply doesn't work... and from the other stuff that does work half of it does 'barely' For a start they shouldn't even show options that aren't compatible and flat out don't work for a specific model. And then they need to improve performance / stability, I don't get why I get like 75% of frames compared to a comparable nvidia card, when the amd has technically *more* stuff (ram etc) and then being told 'well games are *optimized* for nvidia...' That just doesn't fly with a lot of peeps hence they rather buy 'overpriced' nvidia cards that 'just work'... (and they really do, issues with drivers are extremely rare and usually get fixed - actually - within days, personally I didn't have issues since a year or so, and that's mostly because I'm on a stable driver and there's like zero reason to update it...) PS: 'synthetical benchmarks' I feel that sums it about up re: AMD drivers The direction tells you... the direction. -Scott Manley, 2021 Softwares used: Corsair Link (Anime Edition) MSI Afterburner OpenRGB Lively Wallpaper OBS Studio Shutter Encoder Avidemux FSResizer Audacity VLC WMP GIMP HWiNFO64 Paint 3D Paint GitHub Desktop Superposition Prime95 Aida64 GPUZ CPUZ Generic Logviewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
