AMD V NVidia - Fine Wine testing.

[Gregster]

Started watching this vid and very interesting. Only got as far as the 290 and gotta shoot but felt it worth a mention.

I will watch the rest in a bit

Wow, really surprised the AMD fans don't like this video, as to me it show that AMD's fine wine is very true and definitely demonstrates that AMD cards do gain more over time than NVidia cards do.

Really dot understand why you don't all like it.

Same, I watched it all and thought it was great for the AMD users, especially those who like to keep their GPUs for a few years. AMD do keep helping out older tech, whilst NVidia seem to just move on to the newer tech.

What..…..?

Did you even watch the video.

You do realise that this is very favourable for AMD, it clearly shows that Fine wine is a real thing, AMD GPU's really gain more against their NVidia counterparts over time.

I don't understand why AMD supporters don't like this.

Or is it just because @Gregster posted it so you all assume it was anti AMD.

I do think a lot of people see who posted it and thought I was being anti AMD and straight on the defence without watching. Whilst the gains over the period were small as such, it does show AMD do look after their users and NVidia tend to drop the older tech. Oh well, made me chuckle at some of the comments

I'm not really sure how it is favourable to AMD? it mostly shows they start poorly against the equivalent nVidia cards and take awhile to match them and if you wait 2 years or so you might maybe beat them... by about the time the card goes EOL.

If nVidia held performance back 5-10% and trickled it out with driver updates over 2 years people would be up in arms.

I agree to a point but I do feel that NVidia will put all their resources into current cards and tend to move on from older cards. I wouldn't say they ignore performance gains for older tech but instead of 10 people working on them, they drop it to one and in his lunch break Ohhh and if NVidia held performance back, there would be murders lol

Whilst it's nice a card getting stronger and stronger (my Vega64 now smashing out 27k in Firestrike) I don't really care about fine wine to be honest, nor do I buy a card for future performance. For me a GPU purchase is about 2 things, 1) getting double performance upgrade from whatever I have, 2) the price.

Video is turd as well tbh, but cheers for posting @Gregster

I also buy for what is what at the time. Whilst it is nice getting faster games over time, I generally play a game to death and then move on and rarely revisit, so latter improvements are something that I don't care for. I actually enjoyed the vid and TPU are one of the better testers who do retest on newer drivers instead of some that use old tests.
