Alternatively you could wait for Nvidia's 4070/4070ti that are most likely going to overpriced 4060/4060ti in disguise :D

I could but I'm so over waiting, its been 2 years now fs.

Another reason I'm hesitant about the switch to red is that my trusted PC gaming source reckons AMD have little niggly driver issues and latency spikes which aren't present in green, but, its minor and only really applicable if you're a hardcore gamer chasing the absolute best in performance/latency, and not a filthy casual like myself

Games like CSGO, the only competitive game I play on and off really don't require either team green or red, the game runs at stupid high FPS anyway, with the 3070 I was GPU bound at 1440P with FPS uncapped averaging 375 FPS on 1440P. (High settings 8xMSAA)

That video is from over a year ago though.

Recently (around 10 days ago) Linus Tech Tips despite they have always been leaning more toward the green than the red, they released a video and part of it stating that AMD's has essentially overhauled their driver completely back in May and pretty much make the driver issues a moot point now.

I'd be interested to know if you still need to lock your GPU core clock to avoid latency or whether that's been fixed in the driver overhaul

Not necessarily. The 7900 XTX should be around 66% faster than a £650 6900 XT. £650 x 1.66 is £1079. The 7900 XTX reference model is expected to be between £1000-£1100 at the current exchange rate, so performance per dollar should be very similar. The 7900 XTX should also be cheaper to run as it's more power efficient, and will have more features like AV1 encode.



Did you change your mind about AMD's drivers?

Well if I am wrong it would be for the first time ever. I've been doing it that way since the geforce 9800 days and it's never let me down.

New cards always offer the worst £ to performance. Always. And I'm not talking about bogus impossible to meet RRPs or founders edition very hard to get cut out the middleman cards either.

Well, I did try to point that out to you before but you said it was called "pattern recognition". :D

ffs........ "AMD drivers bad" Nvidia have problems too.... "yeah but that was two years ago"
AMD driver problems were more than 2 years ago, they are just as solid as Nvidia now, stop with this crap. :rolleyes:

They are not, end of.
Never will be, end of.
Fine Wine TM, never a "Now".

I have an Nvidia GPU, Nvidia drivers are NOT trouble free, stop with the worshipping, AMD's drivers are no better or worse than Nvidia's, Nvidia fanboys trying to perpetuate something about a someone who is a competitor to Nvidia that just isn't true anymore because like a religion faith demands it.

Tired9 said:
I am not worshipping, I am stating the truth, you won't encounter driver problems anywhere close to as consistent on Nvidia as you do with AMD.
But you know, to fit in, we must white lie things, them feels.

Have you actually owned an AMD 6000 series GPU? If not your opinion seems somewhat outdated and irrelevant.

No I owned multiple Radeon over a 13 year course.
It is called pattern recognition.

You dismisse it because you think only the 6000 series matters. Arrogance at it's finest.

The last was the 5700-XT. Many denied them issues too and only until Youtubers chimed in they gave a quarter of a fck.

Once Radeon driver team said they have fixed it. It was still not fixed for many, me included. But the heard will read it and use that to push away gamers needing help because their experience is "best". They revert back to prior Youtube exposure. Ignorant and arrogant fools.

Bury your head.. it don't fix it.

I went down that road because idiots kept downplaying the issue, absolute built up resentment from not just this place but Reddit who only gave a F about themselves.

That's what happens, when people deny it, the problem don't go away, it makes people resent even more and more, like a building volcano.

I'm over it now, times moved on.

Plus Radeon 6K have been out long enough and no real issues cropped up, not to the amount the 5K series did.
No driver issues on 3070, upgrading for performance here.

It is human nature to pidgeon hole folks, it takes less brain capacity, you are that guy, use old posts for future versions of you.

I dunno, I am not a stagnant personality, if you can't change then maybe you hold onto resentment to conform to the rest.
It is true to my feeling and the being I am to be straight forwards and exit the bad energy in me, it has no effect on others here other than getting a version or perspective, yes it may be negative in tone but clearly if I was that influential, I would be a God by now sat at the top of a castle overlooking the Earth, clearly not.

You need people like me to balance out the things people hide.

I actually almost hate to say it because of all of the crap I had with my Vega 64, but the drivers are indeed much better than before. I'm also glad I avoided the 5000 series because it still had that issue for nearly a year (black screen). Mine on the Vega was pink, but the same deal. It was the same problem too apparently.

But yeah, they are so good now that they only update them when necessary, not all of the time, which causes less breaks. Usually when they would fix something (a game) it would break something else.

Their software too is light years ahead of the clunky old Geforce one.

so tempted by one of these I popped my 3060 ti up for sale on marketplace today, hoping someone bites in time to pick one of these up, Im too skint to buy it outright without selling the other first :D
 
There will be zero issues with GPU sag in my PC, the PCI-E cables only just reach.

And already this card looks so much better than the Inno3D iChill X4's RGB.
