GPUs & CPUs & Enthusiast hardware: Questions, Discussion and fanboy slap-fights - Nvidia & AMD & Intel - Separe but Equal. Intel rides in the back of the bus.

Curious if any of the nVidia pressers said 'up to x amount of cores', or said a fixed number.

Because if it's the latter, someone could have a go at them for false advertising.
 
But the M3 would run MacOS 8 faster. Because it's not a step backwards

Yeah, and a 5080 would run that old PhysX code much faster than a 980 Ti, because it's likewise not a step backward.

I think you are missing the point.

The PhysX gimping is exactly why DLSS (and all its offshoots) are garbage. There's no guarantee of long term support.

I don't think you have to worry about 2035's GPUs being too slow to run 2025 games without DLSS

Upscaling is now a standard DirectX interface. And even so, hotpatching baked-in DLSS with replacements via DLL swapping is already well-known and documented. The DLSS hooks aren't that complicated to hijack and replace with FSR or XeSS even in games that are DLSS only.

It wouldn't be a false advertising case because nvidia has acknowledged the defect and is offering replacements. This is just normal warranty shit.

I'd have thought after the 4000 series fuckery they'd not pull this shit again, i guess the 6000 series is the one to buy.
Buy a fucking radeon card then. Except you won't - this thread sits around whining about nvidia and then refuses to entertain buying the competition even though the only difference is that the competition doesn't have any of the features you supposedly don't care about anyway.

I'm AMD's strongest soldier because I'm telling you right now to just go buy an AMD card and be at peace. It'll do everything you care about for half the price and you won't have to sit around being mad about this inane GPU launch bullshit on an internet gossip forum.

AMD is fine as long as you don't want to do AI. Some stuff won't work at all and most of the rest requires beating drivers and libraries repeatedly until the next update breaks it all again,

DirectML and ROCM support is growing every day, AMD isn’t as bad for AI as it once was.
 
Unrelated to everything. When I search for performance information on GPUs, I am increasingly getting AI-written articles that are utterly devoid of meaningful content.

I was gonna disagree with this until I looked at Newegg prices.

Okay, GAYmers, it's true, AMD is inferior to NVIDIA, but not "pay 10% more to get a 4060 Ti instead of a 7800 XT" better. I still don't like AMD's shitty software. I found out recently the reason they hit the panic button on FMF in Adrenaline is it was triggering those idiotic kernel-level anticheat programs and getting people's accounts banned in various games.

The main legitimate gripe with NVIDIA is they run their high-end cards way too hot to the point of physically damaging parts. They have the same problem in the datacenter, too. It's irresponsible and bad for the consumer and the environment.

apparently, this nigga achived 1-2% FPS loss for undervolting the 5090 to use 450-470 watts.

So increasing the power draw ~25% only gave them an extra 1%-2% speed. That's even worse than the nonsense Intel was pulling at the end of its I Can't Believe It's Not Skylake! era.

I'm a proud 6750XT owner, only problem is that it's ASUS.

Anyone else tired of the constant nVidia bad talk from the tech youtubers? I know they suck but can you find something else.
I don't care about the tech youtubers because they're at least grounded and will recommend alternatives. And I don't mind AMD fanboys because maybe a simple, uncomplicated and inexpensive GPU is exactly what you're looking for (or at least, what makes the most sense to spend your money on). Both of these groups at least recognize that they have options and act on them.

What I can't stand is these people who show up gen after gen and bitch about how unobtainable nvidia is and how "I guess I'm gonna be holding on to my 1060/1070/1080 Ti for another gen teehee" and how nvidia needs to stop adding features etc

It's just fat girls who can't get chad dick sitting around on their lard asses talking about how chad "can't handle a real wahmen" while their ovaries slowly calcify. You are fat girls and chad doesn't need you because he has a harem of rich hot women who'll pay 3x for his dick and you are still acting like you can just wait him out instead of looking into alternatives.

My buddy who I play Rust with has one of those. Absolutely GOATed card. Maybe some of the people in this thread should buy one.

Gordon never missed. RIP.

Ray Tracing and AI bad.
 
Could you recommend a wired mouse that has a durable wheel, which won't die after four months of clicking on it?
My Zowie mice, both wired and not, have held up well after a couple years. No double inputs on single presses. The middle mouse wheels feel cheap but the actual switches haven't given out yet.
