but thats the point
by the time games need more than 8GB, u need a new card anyway because even the 2080TI will be to slow

Quoting: mylkai bought a 1 year old RX580 8GB recently for only 150€. it is nice to have 8GB vram, but not even assassins creed needs it

dxvk quite clearly benefits from more VRAM. Not all games use it fully, but it can be used to avoid extra RAM to VRAM copying.

but still: 8GB are very future proof

Quoting: mylkalets stick with steam statistics. (vega cards are not even listed) most of the steam users buy cheap cards. best price-performance.

And Polaris is perfect for this if you are using Linux.

Quoting: mylkai dont see AMD winning here. at least nvidia has a competitor again and i hope both lower the prices for the new generation soon

* Works on Linux out-of-the-box
* 16 GB is good when you use 3D modeling software
* 16 GB + high bandwidth is future proof
* FreeSync displays are cheaper

linux users are not AMDs target group. even i would take nvidia (if i had the money) and i always had and have AMD except 1 time a geforce 6600
make a 3D modeling cards then
future proof? hmmmm steam says VRAM
1024 MB 15.44%
2047 MB 21.19%
3071 MB 7.91%
4095 MB 18.85%
2/3 have 4GB and below. i guess it takes a while until game developers can make games with 8GB minimum system requirements, or else they wont sell much

ok freesync is a + for all AMD cards

lets stick with steam statistics. (vega cards are not even listed) most of the steam users buy cheap cards. best price-performance.

Quoting: mylkathis card is also senseless
its the same price as the 2080 and as fast
the only difference is 16GB | 8GB + RT
no game needs 8GB so why would i need 16?

if this card isnt much much cheaper than a 2080 i dont see 1 reason to buy it

It's surely not a mainstream card. We should wait for something more reasonably priced while high end at the same time, I think.

thats not my point
both cards cost 700, both have kinda the same performance according to AMD
would you take 16GB, or 8GB + RT + DLSS

i dont see AMD winning here. at least nvidia has a competitor again and i hope both lower the prices for the new generation soon

Quoting: GuestAMD kills there own marketing so much

hey we have these third gen cpus but the fourth gen is already being worked on

that's like if sony said hey we are launching the ps4 today but ps5 is already being worked on

like why would anyone buy the current gen when the next gen is already happening?

also great a $700usd gpu that will cost extra once you get next months power bill
APU master race!

Quoting: GuestAgreed. You pay for the Linux Version. They remove it? Refund. That should be allowed. Maybe Valve should add something like that to the Refund Policy like: If the Developer drops the Platform Support you can refund even when you played it way longer than those 2 Hours and 14 Days after Purchase. Like yeah the port was bad and Proton is a thing. But still. Thats why Proton is Good AND Bad. Bad because: why bother with Supporting and making a Working Port when Proton does the job?

But its also Epics fault for not having a proper Linux Support for their Engine. So you cant blame the Dev alone. But still.

is it really helping, if you can refund games even after 20h playtime
sounds for me like troubles and risks i better dont take next time i make a game

will VULKAN be linux only, or windows too?
isnt it easier to build a vulkan windows version and port it to linux, like ID did with doom?

Quoting: ageres

Quoting: mylkais there a way to sort protondb by release date?
rage 2 uses same engine as just cause 4 and should also work with proton
doom eternal should be the same as doom and work with proton

These games won't be sold on Steam, so no Proton for them. I'm sure Bethesda will try to shove as much DRM into them as they can, and it could prevent from running in Wine.

i dont think so. maybe at the beginning, but later also on steam
i like rage, but its not a must have, so i can wait and get it cheaper on steam

Quoting: mylkahavent they said, that they finished cyberpunk already and are just bugfixing?

Where did you hear that?

rocketbeans.tv
i think they said it at gamescom. they are friends with fabian döhla, who works for CDPR
