Support NeoGAF

[Hawk The Slayer]

Never went AMD before for both CPU and GPU, it was always Intel and Nvidia from me. But I might go for the AMD graphic cards on my next PC because Nvidia prices are too crazy for what they're worth in power and vram. Either AMD or those new Intel cards especially if Intel does a 16gb vram tier, one step above their 12gb version.

 

[Topher]

In a heartbeat. Only thing keeping me with Nvidia is far superior DLSS.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Nah I don't think so, already had an AMD (well, ATI) graphics card in the past and I wasn't happy with it. I'll stick to nVidia until they decide to ask for a newborn sacrifice as part of the price tag.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

How are AMD's drivers these days? I remember the Catalyst Control Center being a bit of a mess many moons ago.

I've got a 7800xt and haven't had a single problem with drivers so far.

 

[FingerBang]

No, because I have a 4090. But I'd happily do it if they offered the same rt performance and power for a better price.

Fingers crossed for UDNA, but RDNA4 is not for me.

 

[ValiantInstance]

My 7900xtx is basically a 4080 (I don’t care at all about RT or fake frames) for $400 less

Fluid Motion Frames is pretty useful depending on the game you're playing. Works well in 3rd person games like RDR2. And you don't need the latest card to use it.

And yes the driver software is pretty flawless these days. Only had one issue since switching from a 2080 last year, which was an update where Adrenalin would pop up after waking the screen.

 

[Magic Carpet]

In a heartbeat. Only thing keeping me with Nvidia is far superior DLSS.

Raytracing does nothing for ya then?

 

[rofif]

yes because fuck nvidia.

 

[Spukc]

AMD

NOT

EVEN

ONCE

 

[Pegasus Actual]

If they offer the better product at the same or lower price then sure... tie goes to team green per the superior track record.

 

[Zacfoldor]

It's one thing to beat Intel, beating Nvidia is a whole different story.

 

[Hero_Select]

I have no allegiance to either company so whichever is the best and offers more value is what I'll go with. That being said I have a 4090 atm so I feel no need to upgrade anytime soon.

Maybe in a year or two

 

[HogIsland]

As long as the consoles are shipping AMD, it's a totally viable option.

 

[Mister Wolf]

No. The Frame Gen is superior with Nvidia as well.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

AMD isn't even competing with Nvidia anymore on the high end so the question is largely irrelevant

If I wanted 5060 or 5070 performance but with worse drivers and features then sure. But I'm looking for an upgrade path for my 3090 and AMD has ceded that market

 

[Topher]

Raytracing does nothing for ya then?

It is cool, but not a must have at this point. AI upscaling is priority because even with Nvidia, DLSS is needed to make RT viable in most cases.

 

[kevboard]

if it's cheaper... yeah... but it won't be.

even now AMD is barely cheaper than Nvidia, while offering significantly inferior products. so once they can actually compete, why would this change?

 

[Topher]

At this point, I don't think having a competitive product isn't going to be enough. Nvidia is entrenched as the go to GPU for gamers. The only way AMD is going to make a dent on Nvidia's green wall is by undercutting them on price.

For me, I look at the 7900 XTX coming in at $800, but without DLSS, it just ain't worth it.

 

[Crayon]

Already on amd. Got 16gb for $350 new this year. And even THAT is more than I would like to spend.

 

[JawaSaysUtinni]

I had the same dilemma building my rig. Despite advice, I got the 6900xt about 3-4 years ago. It was late Covid, with no GPU stocks and high prices. So it seemed like a good deal when it was about £500 cheaper than the next equivalent Nvidia one.

Honestly, never had a problem with it. It’s always performed like a charm and I’m still smashing above 144 fps in games.

 

[//DEVIL//]

FSR4 wont beat DLSS. I think PSSR is some form of FSR4 too. and that is not as good.

AMD can't beat Nvidia in anything really recently. aside from more Vram. and even then its not an advantage for AMD because their memory allocation for games is higher than Nvidia for some fucked up reason.

with that being said. I hate seeing Nvidia without competition. it's an ugly company.

So i want everyone to buy an AMD card, So Nvidia lower their prices and I buy that Nvidia card ^_^

 

[Lokaum D+]

Its cheaper, has more VRAM, most of the time more raw rasterization power per dollar, you can use Xess with It ( thats a lot better then FSR ), It has frame gen, ppl buy NVidia for the same reason ppl buy Apple productos, brand status.

Do most games support Xess? I haven't looked into that.

 

[Crayon]

Not most, but it does seem to be picking up speed.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Riding my 4090 this gen. in 2 years I'll see if there's a meaningful upgrate to it from either camp and make my decision based on it. I'm a lot more likely to upgrade on handheld to another AMD APU.

 

[Redefine07]

I went from an RTX 3060 Ti to RX 7900 XT Vapor-X and I am happy with it so far , hope I will get FSR4 also if not oh well... , I'll wait till next-line of GPU's. (don't care about RT so far).

 

[Radical_3d]

Nah I don't think so, already had an AMD (well, ATI) graphics card in the past and I wasn't happy with it. I'll stick to nVidia until they decide to ask for a newborn sacrifice as part of the price tag.

That’s a matter of weeks.

 

[Codeblew]

Already on team red with a 6700xt. Works great for what I use it for. For my next card though, maybe, maybe not. Depends on price/specs in a couple years.

I have the same card. It was good value for the money when I built my system 2 years ago.

lmao. People have already gotten their hopes dashed 3 times by FSR, but somehow there's still organic hope that "the next one, that's the one that's really gonna work". smh

People are assuming that FSR4 will be like PSSR, which would be a good thing.

 

[Kenpachii]

If AMD outperforms Nvidia in every metric i will switch. ATM they don't perform in any metric besides v-ram.

 

[SolidQ]

, hope I will get FSR4 also if not oh well...

Should. because WMMA

 

[Lokaum D+]

Do most games support Xess? I haven't looked into that.

Here is a list of supported games

XeSS Enabled Games – Intel Gaming Access

If u can look past RT, AMD with Xess is the best bang for your buck at the moment, anyone saying other wise is just hating imo

I didn’t know this. But hoy does Xess performs in a mid range AMD card? Something like a 7600XT.

 

[Barakov]

It seems like AMD is basically just trying to keep up with previous versions DLSS. I don't see them leapfrogging team green anytime soon.

 

[Cryio]

Team red and happy: 7900 XTX

 

[Radical_3d]

I didn’t expect the results to be so even in a hardcore gaming forum like this. Maybe a lot of console only players are voting? It doesn’t match the market even if AMD would hit hard with RDNA4 I wouldn’t expect to be so even among hardcore gamers.

 

[reinking]

I am not a brand loyalist. Once I purchase a product, the transaction is over on my end and I do not owe them anything else. If someone comes along with a better product, I have no problem switching over. The question is can AMD provide an equal or an overall better product?

 

[StereoVsn]

Yep, sure, I would switch to AMD or Intel card in a heartbeat if they offer comparable upscaling to DLSS (including frame rate doubling) and around 4080 Super speed for a good price.

Let’s say RT and DLSS is at Nvidia series level but price is much better. I would jump to Team Red or Blue no question.

The only fly in the ointment is that I do some work on AI side and Team Green is currently quite a bit better there. However I might switch to a MBPro with 64GB then.

The answer is no. But they can offer a product minus raytracing and frame gen spectacle that not that many gamers care about. And only in mid range. The question is will it suffice to gain some market share? That’s what I wanted to know in a specially hardcore forum (many rich AF people here). I’m still not trusting that poll, tho.

I have a rx6800 xt i can tell you that you ll lose performance since Xess is not AMD native, but you ll gain a more stable image and a lot LOOOOOT less flickering.



Here is an exemple on how a rx6800 ll perform using Xess compared with FSR

With a 7600 running on optimized settings i think you ll be fine If you run at 1080p or 1440p.

About a 25 to 30% of performance loss is a lot. I think that their custom AI solution shall be better. We’ll have to wait and see.

it depends, for example losing 20% performance at 1080p or 1440p ( in this CP2077 example ) ll not impact game "smoothness" since it ll performer above 60fps and ll give you a way better image quality, so its a sacrifice to be made imo, at 4k you really dont use any upscaling set to Quality, even DLSS.

* remember on the video he is running on ultra settings, if u use an optimized settings you ll probably get higher fps.

 

[MikeM]

I have been team AMD ever since returning to PC. 5600/6700xt and now 7600x/7900xt.

Would easily buy AMD again so long as they bring value. Oh, and their software (Adrenaline) is very good, something I hear Nvidia lacks in.

 

[lmimmfn]

AMD GPU wise are a complete waste of time, for about 10 years we've been listing about their new GPU which was supposed to beat NVidia ...... never happened and not going to happen now with the focus on mid rand and below.

On top of thst they just price at what they can get away with, I.e. less features than NVIDIA with less performance, price it 100euro less.

Only a suckered would by AMD GPUs(admittedly a bigger sucker buying the NVIDIA equivalent.

AMD and just another corporation, they don't care about customs, maximising profit is ehat AMD is about

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Can't switch to something I already use

 

[MiguelItUp]

Already went from a 3080 to a 7900xtx and I regret nothing. Have had no issues personally, and I'm curious to see what else they do in the future.

Hell, as much as I love Nvidia's products, I look forward to literally anyone else these days.

 

[El Muerto]

Already on team red as i'm a cheap ass. No way am i going to spend more on a card with the same performance. I think Xess may come out on top tho, may jump ship.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Sure. I’ve had some great AMD cards in the past. Maybe they can work with Sony to get something like PSSR. FSR FG works great already.
