  it is hard if you rely on CUDA and DLSS.

    Damn I’m happy I don’t rely on CUDA or DLSS

    How can you “rely” on DLSS when you can easily use XeSS or FSR?

      Neither of them are as good, especially if you factor in raytracing. DLSS Ray Reconstruction is basically required to not have a noisy image with RTX.

        Ray tracing*

        RTX is a brand.

        Regardless, given the performance impact and how few games actually have ray tracing (implemented correctly), it makes more sense to just disregard ray tracing altoghether.

        It’s an undercooked technology used to push more expensive products, nothing more.

        Regarding dlss vs fsr and xess, yes dlss has better quality but it’s also proprietary so I honestly do not care about it. Just like gsync died, dlss will eventually die as well.

        When I went team red for the first time earlier this year, I really scrutinized zoomed in screenshots to compare the upscaling for FSR and DLSS. With FSR 3, I couldn’t see any difference compared to DLSS. Older FSR versions yeah, but at least for me not a problem any more.

      Use none of them. Embrace funny duck

    ROCM works mostly well in replacement of CUDA, and it gets better and better every year

  I went Linux + AMD. No more pesky adwares.

    Same. Never looked back.

  I thought I was happy I went AMD until my card started overrunning its fans for no reason a month after the warranty ran out. I manually had to reseat the card on the PCIe for it to stop because nothing else would, not even restarting the PC. And then one day it heated up so bad it stopped working. I think they gave me a defective card on purpose because people are less likely to return the items when they’re buying from outside the US.

  I’ve since gone back to Nvidia and my current card hasn’t given me any issues. What a nightmare that was.

    I swear that in my 20+ years of computer work that everyone has a story like this for every brand out there. It seems to literally be bad luck. That being said some companies just have abysmal and evil support ethics. And these days it seems all of them are trying to dial in the device failure to happen after the warranty expires.

        I think that can be true in many situations. I have had sincere failures that on the surface sound like incompetence. It is possible for things to fail so spectacularly it sounds like fiction.
