Agreed.....however, reasonable people also avoid threads concerning products they have no interest in. But, keep proving my point anyway....
Stop making unfounded generalizations. There are rational talking points vs outright shilling for whatever HW or GPU the topic may be focused on. Shame some folks cant make the distinction. I actually held off my GPU purchase for weeks, waiting for the R7 and hoping to switch sides. Even have a feeling the R7 may turn out to be a decent card down the road. But sorry, just can wait that long. Ironic when actual shills (ie, Adored) bring up false or misleading statements and poor testing methodology, which when criticized or challenged, the persons doing so are labelled as the shills.
what point of yours did I prove? Also, I should avoid this thread because I have no interest in the RVII? Why? It's a new gpu, of course I'm interested in reading about it. Why are you here btw?
Until VII can beat steadily Vega 64 in all games with proper differences, we shouldn't consider VII a praiseworthy gpu either. It is the most problematic launch ever for ATI/AMD/RTG and it is based on previous arch. Nvidia shouldn't be alone anymore in the Hall of Fail because of RTX gpus and their features.
Unfounded generalizations? Are you suddenly new to the forum? There are countless threads on this forum proving exactly what I've said. Regardless of what AMD does, people on this forum still attack them.
not sure but v7 is pretty fast by the looks of things, its the same price same performance after that it's all rock throwing. might have ruined my fantasies a little but great power none the less
Still waiting for AMD to pull a "Frontier Edition" with this and release Radeon™ Pro Software drivers for the Vega Vll considering its price-point & computational power. Otherwise; no it's not great. A performance-based market shouldn't settle for anything but the best. Especially when cost is not competitive, more-so even. It holds little investment potential, will de-value very quickly as navi is soon to release & teeters between the high-to under very-high scores of its competitor; the writing's on the wall. 1080 TIs are still on the market as are modded / water-cooled Vega 64s. Even so I'd say wait till Q4 this year until making decisions. After all what I'm suggesting bears no cost to the company - none; it should already have came at launch.
Dirt Rally 2.0 benchmarks: source:gamegpu.com So how Radeon 7 runs head to head with 2080Ti? https://i.**********/tg0L36wy/Dirt20.jpg
There will always be the occasional game or two where one sides GPUs performs way better than the competition.
Cherry-picking a bit, it loses to the 2080ti at 1440p and 4k. Still a great performer in this peach of a game. This in VR, I don't think I'm ready but I'll buy it nevertheless! Stomach be strong.
Game is heavy enough not to have high fps even on 1080p. That makes it easier on any driver overhead. Racing games usually do not have very complex (high polygon) geometry, therefore AMD's weaker geometry discard is being much smaller problem. And then that low fps comes from complex shader code => brute force wins. AMD had always brute force strength. (Just a theory as I do not have that game.)
Wow pretty heavy game, even at 1080p.. but I have to say look at that I assume stock 980ti go, oc some more and it's still a banger rtx 2070+ perf xD
Proof GCN is better architecture and strong Imagine if all PC games made on AMD/ATI hardware in mind If the AMD hardware was properly leveraged by the developers, we would have better results. The only problem is consume a lot power.
Are the DIRT games still good? I think I played the first or second one and remember it being pretty fun but I haven't played one since. Is it the same thing just better graphics?
Need to make distinction between Dirt Rally and Dirt games. Dirt Rally games can be too difficult/punishing to be fun (for me at least). The other Dirt games are great.
Completely different games. Dirt series are arcade rally racers. DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0 are sims. If you want to kick back on a big screen and have a few beers while manning a controller, Dirt games are just the job. DiRT Rally and DiRT Rally 2.0 are sims through and through, best enjoyed with a wheel and pedals, clutch pedal and handbrake. On triple screen or VR
I liked this one but seems others didnt. It was a different Dirt game. Spoiler https://i.**********/YS4JQNKb/image.jpgfree image host
