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


Its great to see the reception of these cards.

I will add that i did notice how much smoother thee AMD GPU was upgrading from Nvidia, i thought that was just VRam but he's not the only guy whose saying these AMD GPU's at least are smoother than the RTX 5000 series.

So who knows but my Frame Graph like that is always perfectly flat.

for example... one hitch right at the beginning there but after that its emasculate, and feels it.

I've long thought AMD setups were "smoother". Nothing wrong with an Intel/Nvidia system but I just prefer the way an AMD/AMD runs. One of those intangibles that reviews can't put a figure to.

Kinda the point I was trying to articulate in my previous message - there's something about my current card that means framerates don't flow, a bit like when an instrument is slightly out of tune or out of time. It's right but it's wrong. Hadn't realised others had the same feeling and that it was potentially an nvidia thing rather than just what computer games are like.

I remember when I switched from the AMD HD7970 to a GTX 970 on launch. The 970 just didn't feel smooth and was almost jittery compared to the smoothness of the HD7970. I think it's to do with the greater driver overhead of the Nvidia cards.
My 9070XT feels pretty good compared to the old 3080FE in games such as Hogwarts Legacy and HFW.

I mentioned this in the owners thread, but watching a few comparison videos over the last few weeks, the frametime blips on Nv cards are much more pronounced than on AMD equivalents, even if fps highs and lows are superior. You may be onto something there with the driver overhead angle.
