Why I Won't Support NVIDIA Anymore...

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! In the future of my new PC rig it's time to examine some serious options. I've been a Linux user for quite some years and NVIDIA hasn't been the nicest player for me unlike it's competition. AMD is still a fair bit behind and with a month to go for an eventual reveal, I hope AMD doesn't make me regret switching. Thanks for watching!

bingo, same here. most devs only use dlss and framegen as excuse for sloppy optimization, it's one step forward and two steps back. and although i have a 4080 super, personally i couldn't care less about ray tracing and never use it, the performance hit is just too big and a game with well placed cube maps and lightsources looks absolutely good enough. for example: just look at 2015 sw battlefront or battlefield 1, or for a newer example: horizon zero dawn or the ps5 demons souls remake, these games still slap despite having zero ray tracing.

Many years ago there were something called Omega drivers, which were modded graphics drivers for nVidia and ATI/AMD GPUs that unlocked more performance through various means (registry tweaks, etc). Both nVidia and AMD found out about Omega drivers around the same time. nVidia sent a cease and desist, and at one point alluded to the threat of legal action. AMD credited and thanked the creator, and brought him in to be a beta tester for official drivers.

Nvidia sponsors games and helps in development for some big releases because RT is a selling point for their cards.

[@byronhorde5892]

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

Two things I think Muta doesn't realize as far as Nvidia's faults: 1. They severely lack VRAM. The 4060 and 4060ti are infamous on tech channels as bad cards you should never buy because of the lack of VRAM. They can't actually play games on higher resolutions and texture/foliage settings because they run out of VRAM and then you get stutters, lower framerate and in some cased textures failing to load. This is likely on purpose for planned obselescence. Despite only being roughly 10% faster according to sites like TechPowerup and Tom's Hardware, my 6750XT beats the 3060ti 8GB in my brothers' computer on The Forever Winter with about a 40% higher frame rate and no stutters, while on higher settings and 1440p whereas he's playing at 1080p, medium settings. 2. Raytracing is overhyped, in most games it really doesn't make a big difference visually. Hardware Unboxed compared a ton of different games with RT vs no RT a while ago and in most games you can barely tell the difference. Nvidia pushes RT really hard because they have dedicated hardware for it and can sell their cards as cutting edge. There are also other solutions for simulated lighting that aren't as intensive and still look great, which are going to be more appealing as they let people with much more dated hardware play their games. Unreal Engine, for all its issues, has Lumen which is genuinely a great technology. It looks almost as good as Nvidia's hardware raytracing, but it's handled on a software level and has a significantly lower impact on performance, both on Nvidia cards and AMD cards. Nvidia will keep pushing raytracing even if it's inefficient because it pressures people into buying their cards.

[@googIesux]

Underrated comment. I have bought GPUs from both sides since the late 90s, and the life-ending limit to all of them wad VRAM,(except for the RX480 8GB). ALWAYS go more VRAM. Cards with more VRAM also sell for much more on the used market for the same reason that they're more viable longer.

[@adity-m2g]

Exactly that's why 4060ti 8gb version is called 1080p card despite many saying it as 1440p card because of it's low Vram however the card itself is still capable of 1440p

[@whatislife6101]

Lumen is notoriously known to have bad optimization.

The reason NVIDIA is so expensive is because its leading in AI. The number of GPUs they are selling for these AI projects like Super Micro is insane. They don't need gamers anymore.

[@jasonzhu9742]

I'm not tryna defend Nvidia. But I don't think the GPU prices are high because they are leading in AI. Because the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti got a lower price than last gen 4070 and 4070 ti while the RTX 5090 got a $400 increase over last generation RTX 4090. So I think the GPU prices are priced based on the demand of the GPU tiers. Because remember when the RTX 30 series was scalped like crazy and there was crazy demand for all of them? I think that's why they increased the price of the RTX 4070 from the previous generation 3070 from $500 to $600 and RTX 3070 ti to RTX 4070 ti went from $600 to $800. I also want to mention that even if Nvidia doesn't have high GPU prices. The scalpers will buy them all up and resell them for a much higher price anyways. So I don't 100% pin the blame on Nvidia for high GPU prices. The only ones I blame are the people who still buy their GPUs, especially the people who buy from scalpers.

[@josephlh1690]

​@@JimBobmA paper launch. This was intentional. Nvidia is limiting supply of the 5090 because they are more focused on manufacturing the data center versions of the gpu. The 5090 is actually nothing more then a graphics card deemed too defective to be sold as a server card. Translation, they are basically just hand me down cards off the assembly line.

Been using AMD since the early 2010s. They're pretty much just as good as their NVIDIA counterpart in every generation and typically cost a considerable amount less for the performance.

[@jbutler8585]

AMD's driver software is atrocious though. The one recent AMD card I owned was factory-set to overheat and shut down, only kicking fans to max when >90% of the way to the temp shutoff. Greenscreened at least once a week, and every time it did I had to remember to go fix the fan settings again. Nearly a year later that got fixed in the driver defaults, but was still looking for a version that didn't crash so often and the newest wasn't it. I ain't paying $2000 for an Nvidia card either so I guess I'm sitting on my 3060 for many years to come. That's the real solution, refusing to engage with the crappy market.

[@stang10189]

Unfortunately, that's just not true at the high-end. AMD has admitted that by announcing their not evan going to try and complete in the high-end right now. Which sucks. We need competition. AMD hardware is no comparison to Nvidia RT cores or dlss. Nvidia has hardware on their cards that allow their software to outperform AMD. I want to see AMD do what they did in the cpu category versus Intel to Nvida in the gpu category but that will take years to happen.

[@Schmidddyyy]

@stang10189 "pretty much just as good" implies that Nvidia is better. That's all I'm saying. It's a performance to cost analysis. And for me, AMD wins that pretty much every generation.

[@m_56782]

I feel so conflicted about NVIDIA. Love them or hate them, they pioneered so much of what we now take for granted within PC gaming, and even things like DLSS and AI Upscaling were novel at first. But now, they charge super-inflated prices and their GPUs set a bad precedent for game devs who will forgo optimisation in aid of just thinking: "They can upscale and use framegen anyways". Look at the MH Wilds, Doom Dark Ages and Indiana Jones requirements. Yes, we want next-gen games in a gen still getting XBOX ONE ports, but if RGG Studio can put out Pirate Yakuza which looks almost photorealistic and can run well on a 2000 series, it proves we don't need hardware that beefy yet if devs just do their jobs.

[@tokyobassist]

Ray tracing can be transformative for games like Cyberpunk, Silent Hill 2, and Control but honestly I see a lot of people not even using it because of how much of a resource hog it is. Stuff like frame gen also runs the risk of introducing input lag. If you just want high frame rates and play at or around 1440p without Ray tracing, I think AMD is more than up to the task of satisfying that huge chunk of gamers especially if the price is right. I don't care for ray tracing as much as solid performance and a crispy IQ.

[@imulan]

I think ray tracing is still at its infancy. It's pointless to have shiner graphics at the cost of a lower frame rate. Depending on the type of game you're playing, it'll affect the experience.

[@MuShinnen]

​@@imulanRay tracing is already irrelevant. There are solutions that render light more realistically, that also use less resources to do it, but Nvidia drives studios to still rely on Ray tracing because their gpus went all in on it.

I've been a graphics snob ever since the Radeon 9700 Pro days, and right now nVidia is the only real player in ray tracing/path tracing.

I just made the switch from GTX 1660Ti to RX 7700 and am extremely pleased. Sparing Monster Hunter Wilds, I’ve gotten a lot of great use out of my new AMD build running at 4K with decent settings-surprising for a new build that cost under $1K USD. I’m pretty sold on AMD in the future as long as they keep making higher-end stuff like the 7800 and 7900 models. Right now my only concern is the rumours that they’re only doing two mid-range cards this gen and that the 7000 series was their last gen for high-end. But, rumours and leaks-I wanna see what they’re actually doing going forward.

NVIDIA pisses me off because the fuckin industry has a hardon for DLSS and they are abusing that shit and being lazy af.

Which sucks because AMD cards have more power per price but NVIDIA still has a software lead that allows them to get away with stupid shit.

So comparing it to DLSS was BS on your part; CDPR did an entire DLSS update for them. They just tossed amd out and said here...go get a dlss card or "F" off; AMD ain't paying us.

If AMD's FSR4 generated 2x frames. Would that be ok?

[@MegaDarkYuki]

Amd already has framegeneration ever since they dropped fsr 3.0 If framegen is your cup of tea, who is to stop you from using it. For me personally, I have never used it and since I purchase highend gpus I dont intent to make use of it either.

[@backalleybuddy6793]

​​@@MegaDarkYuki Yes. FSR3 adds 1 "frame" between two real frames. It does not add 2, 3, or 4 "frames" between real frames. I have a "flagship" GPU. I run games that make solid use of frame generation. Such as Tarkov. Let me restate my point: People constantly complain about what the other "team" is doing (DLSS4) until their "team" does exactly the same thing... Then it's ok. Just like the crypto scams. Everyone freaks out, until they have the opportunity to enrich themselves through it. Not arguing. Just trying to make it clearer.
