Quoting: TheRiddickThis is false. I hear this allot but the 5700XT is around %10 slower at the very least!

It's surely more performant. Even Phoronix published comparative benchmarks in the past that demonstrated it. Hardware wise it's just better, so it would be surprising for it to perform worse, unless there is some driver issue that's causing a bottleneck or other such skewed case.

UPDATE:

Just noticed you meant the Ti model, I mean 1080 above, not Ti. Here is Phoronix comparison:


With Ti, it's very slightly behind.

Nice backing for Blender! May be Godot will also gain stronger momentum like that.

Quoting: TheRiddickI don't care what AMD says, by the time their big NAVI comes out its going to be way too late and cost WAY too much. That's how its been for quite some time now and I see no reason why it would change.

How aren't Nvidia 2080 cards too much though? They are already crazily priced, not something I'm interested in paying for a GPU. I doubt they'll lower those prices. So if AMD will also price it that way (like they did with Radeon VII), it's not likely I'm going to get those cards.

Quoting: TheRiddickHonestly the only reason to go NVIDIA is for the TOP END card performance at 4k, if your 1080p or 1440p gamer then there is absolutely no reason to only consider them

IMHO for monitors higher refresh rate (matched with framerate in games) is more valuable than higher resolution. So 4K is quite a red herring to chase such expensive cards. I.e. I'd take something like 2560x1440 with > 100 fps over 4K with lower framerate. And even super high cards would struggle to push high framerate at 4K on max settings in demanding games. It will probably take a few generations of GPUs still, for 4K to become usable at high framerates. So no rush there.

Quoting: TheRiddickIts a pipe dream, NAVI 5800 / 5900 is going to struggle against the 1080TI....

What's the point? 5700 XT already beats that. Higher end than that would be somewhere in 2080 territory already.

This started from the comment that Nvidia can't be used with Stadia due to their driver being closed. Google very explicitly mentioned openness of the drivers as the reason.

They have full right to do what they want with their stuff, except that Linux kernel has requirement to open up their driver, and Nvidia violates it on purpose. Nvidia has no right to come and demand to change that for Linux.

So it simply means they don't have any support formally speaking. They work around it using blob with dkms, but that's not a solution for the problem they created themselves. I.e. no excuse as above.

Quoting: Alm888We mast continue our bashing on one of the leading graphics solutions companies because it is not open-source enough.

We for sure should not give them a pass for bad behavior of not upstreaming their drivers. They have no excuses. They are a bad player in the Linux ecosystem and they know it.

There is enough demand in datacenters though, so I don't think they will oversaturate the market. It's a good thing.

Quoting: DesumLovely. Though, considering Vega cards are STILL crashing right and left under Linux, I dunno how much excitement I can muster up.

Never had any crashes with Vega in many months already. Rock solid overall. Navi on the other hand is still quite raw.

So that's their new mid range card? I was also interested in their top high end announcement (5800 / 5900?).
