This game is fun, but I tried an extreme Conquest with a friend, and it was just ridiculous how hard it was.

Quoting: mrdeathjrpersonally see nvidia launch 7nm gpus before out big navi, maybe in some place around gtc 2020 but only 3070 - 3080

and 3080ti around big navi launch

hopefully amd can make something but for now seems nvidia put a big jump this time (similar to pascal)

however if amd goes bad in gpus, ryzen still saving the day

^_^

Your translation didn't come across too well. I think you were trying to say, that everything depends on how well AMD's "big Navi" performs compared to what Nvidia releases, and when they each end up releasing. And, yes, that is pretty much always the case. Who gets the better card and who gets it out first.

To say though that Turing was a big jump over Pascal, like Pascal was over Maxwell is not accurate. Turing wasn't a big improvement over Pascal. The 2060 performed like a 1070. However, when comparing Pascal to Maxwell, the 1060 performed like the 980 (not the 970). Turing was a small improvement.

If their new line, gives this same small bump again, and AMD provides another big jump like the did with RDNA 1.0 over Vega, then AMD will have a very competitive product, in terms of performance.

Quoting: mrdeathjrThis year seems complicated for amd* gpus because actual amd 7nm gpus dont have same nvidia 12nm turing tdp (gtx cards) and on rtx cards only stay closer

*on cpu side, i think them can give very good news with zen 3

But now nvidia with 7nm, is possible see for example geforce gtx 1660 super performance without power connector**

**on amd this seems impossible now, them need throw actual gpu designs

^_^

No argument there. Nvidia's Pascal architecture was an amazing feat. It provided huge performance with an incredibly low power consumption. That said, GF 14NM process was not as good as TSMC's 16NM, so AMD got huge gains just by moving to TSMC's 7nm. Nvidia will be moving there, potentially this year, but I wouldn't expect it until September at the earliest. AMD should have big Navi release by July at the latest.

AMD has huge potential with their upcoming designed. They have huge 7nm experience now, from 2 previous generations of cards released to 7nm. The upcoming "Big Navi" might even be on the newer 7nm+ node.

It's all speculation at this point, but I think 2020 will be the year where the GPU wars heat up again, after years of disappointment from AMD.

Quoting: pete910Both of you seem to have forgot the VII which is faster than both released feb last year

And discontinued 6 months later, upon the release of the 5700 XT, which was less than 5% slower on average, not having the HBM2 memory, while nearly half the price. I didn't forget about it, just had no need to mention it.

Quoting: Guest...

It still looks like it's not a huge achievement. The GTX 1080 is 4 years old in a few month while the 5700 XT was released Q3 2019 which is not a year ago. And has the same performance as the GTX 1080 (-1% with out BIOS and ACO update) which is pretty bad for a 2019 GPU vs a 2016 GPU.

...

The 5700 XT's launch price was nearly half that of the 1080. 25% smaller die size while having 3 million more transistors, due to newer process size. While in Linux, the two are in most cases, performing the same (room for AMD drivers to improve) in Windows, the 5700 XT is on average, 20% faster.

Hence why GamersNexus rated it best GPU of 2019.

I imagine, in 6-12 months, drivers for Navi will improve, and the 5700 (along with all other Navi/RDNA 1.0 cards) will perform at least 10% and maybe even up to 20% faster than it does now. And that from open source drivers, that are in the kernel, available right from fresh install of Linux, in any distribution, not needing to mess with the installation of binary drivers.

I would love to see any Codemasters game. They do a ton of them so they must sell/do well for them. I also love anything Star Wars.

* Grid (2019)
* Dirt Rally 2.0
* Borderlands 3
* Mechwarrior 5
* Jedi Fallen Order
* Command & Conquer Remastered

UPDATED: Added C&C Remastered

The game now works, not loading to just a black screen. But for me, it locks up after about 30 seconds in the menu...

Quoting: YoRHa-2BAs far as I understand, the main reason why Jedi is a pain in the arse is - surprise - Origin.

It is available through Steam.

Why do I not see 4.11-4. I am still on 4.11-3?
