*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[Bodom]

Driver support is were AMD usually fall down, plus they hve a backend focus on developing and deliverying AI chips, thats basically top tiar cards, so it make sence to focus on the big money with AI and data center for them and then gaming later with the rewards that come from that. my 2 cents at least

AMD drivers tend to be really good these days you get the odd problem every now and then but you do with NVIDIA drivers as well.

 

[Game]

Yeah, meant lowly ironically, hence when I said it looked like it would be a good card in all

I did think that just wanted to pantomime it a little

not had a problem for at least 2 years

i dont mind being wrong so long as i can learn something, and if thats my percetions are wrong im ok with changing that.

AMD's Adrenalin software has been great for a while (though it would crash on my 6700XT from time to time and I'd have to manually reload my presets). Nvidia is only just catching up with its new app after finally abandoning its mandatory login to Geforce experience.

thank you

thats a fair point regarding Nvidia.

Apologies for ragging on ya a bit. As someone who runs both Nvidia and AMD between mine and my son’s PC (4080 and 7900 XT currently), I can categorically say both have been pain free. The odd bug here and there from both is to be expected, but I zero major issues.

 

[HarryBizzle]

I've not had any issues for a good long while, either. I saw a comparison a while ago by Vex and he basically came out of it thinking AMD's software was better than Nvidia's in a lot of ways.

Sapphire teases Radeon RX 9070 PULSE graphics card - VideoCardz.com

Sapphire has a new Radeon card coming, and it’s a dual-fan design Sapphire and AMD did not showcase the PULSE card at CES, but a new teaser posted by Sapphire on social media suggests its release is imminent. Sapphire is already known to be developing two models: PURE and NITRO+, both of which...

Dual fan would suit my case to be honest.

Sorry may have been covered before, do we think 9070 non xt to be on par with a GRE and 9070XT between a 7900XT and XTX?

 

[santa]

So. AMD. Price the 9060 XT competitively and I'll buy one. Otherwise, nah. I hope the specs on TPU are accurate and that MCM isn't massively detrimental this time round.

About that yeah. Though tbh we don't actually know anything official yet, so those guesses could be way off in any direction

We don't know, no-one knows, it's all guesswork and conflicting leaks so far. But probably-ish

Yes.
No.
Maybe.
No idea.

That video was made 18 months before Nvidia released their Nvidia app overhaul.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

How do we find out if these will work properly with AI apps?? Is there anyone to ask for an answer or do we need to wait for people to buy and try?

 

[HarryBizzle]

I get that. My point was more that AMD's has been good for a long while now, despite the fact that people assume it's still not very good.

Good in many aspects. Still deserving of the jank label in others. The jank when encountered is often tolerated because the hardware is better for some things than alternatives in the same price range.

Can't say I've experienced any jank with either my RX 480 or 6700 XT, but my HD 7850 had to go back because it was such a mess. Long time ago, though.

 

[humbug]

Are people still trying on the "AMD drivers bad" nonsense?

No.

 

[Boomstick777]

Anyone else think that AMD did ye old jebait and switch the BIOS at the last minute and that's why they didn't show of GPU's on stage at CES? I.e keep Nvidia guessing. The performance might have been a surprise to Nvidia and that could be why RTX 5080 is delayed and they are swapping the final BIOS on that card as well?

Just a thought

"pushed back due to a late arriving BIOS for the new graphics cards, which meant that AIB or partner card manufacturers requested a delay to prepare their own models. The article also claims that both Nvidia's own Founders Edition models as well as AIB card models will see embargos lifted the same day."

TBH no, AMD are so bad at this they jebait themselves....
