glad to see that 1%low and 0.1%low are higher on 7900xtx , and for me is more important than the max fps. Ps: not using RT, I play 4k games

a small price to pay for using an OS that doesn't make you the product

Ray tracing is great but the benefits don't seem to be there yet, like making games faster to develop, games are taking longer than ever to make now. There is still a while to go, by that time it should run better and every hardware should support ray tracing. I like to have RT on , but usually on the low or medium setting if the game lets you choose. The games with Software RT are also good enough for me, like UE5 games. I don't find myself looking at reflections or puddles or shadows so I don't need the highest quality of RT, just having it on low or medium is fine. As you said the frame rate is more important, especially with high refresh rate screens. I have been playing Warhammer Darktide recently and that game has some nice looking RT, but because it's a multiplayer FPS game, you don't get to stop and appreciate the puddles or reflections, and you need higher FPS, so it's just better to have it off in that case or put it on Low.

Im 100% sure next Gen GPU will be underwhelming . Max 40% improvement in AlanWake2 to maybe 4k50 PT . @3:37 Ghostwire looks diff bc Rainy Street and later in the day. In CP2k7 its to bright bc they had to program also non RT Lighting. So if they ONLY PROGRAM RT lighting they could make street Lights darker. CDPR Dev explained that.

I prefer max visuals, but I want to get above 60 FPS at 1440p. I think that people that are looking for high FPS are the ones that play shooters and competitive games as opposed to people who focus only on single player games. Just look at consoles. You have 60 FPS at best and lower visuals, nobody is complaining.

In Cyberpunk 2077, where it says Native No RT, actually it's with DLSS, 3:55. I just saw after I released the video. Ray tracing and Path tracing is killing performance, with some better lighting effects. Let me know in the comments below what type of gamer are you: High FPS or Max Visuals?

Smart people, if you want to play games - install some Windows 10 X-lite and enjoy. Linux and Win11 are terrible with their input feelings

how are you making steam use VKD3D? Is there some steam launch options?

Loved three of your videos so far after a Nobara search. Thank you! Curious what tool you're using as a GUI for tweaking GPU power and other settings - looks slick!

Lies of P is giving me Max 100 fps on 1440p windows 10. While popular videos show Lies of P running at 140+ fps 4K best quality. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for this good overview

Not sure if anyone caught on, but when you turn on raytracing at 4k especially, the cards perform SIGNIFICANTLY better than at native (no RT) 4k in some games, particularly Dragons Dogma 2. So either you're using some super hefty upscaling beyond what is listed in the settings, or something is amiss.

Well, people now-a-days would be using Frame Generation....also, AMD cards tend to fare better without upscaling compared to Nvidia Cards.

I have 7900XTX and at 1440p max Settings, 100% scale with RT off and i get above 60fps with a 13600K.

RT seems comparible to Windows on my Nobara system, although I'm only using an RTX 3060, so am limited to 1080p with DLSS enabled. Perhaps you'd get better RT results on Nobara with an Nvidia card?

Thank you for reviewing, both are useless for majority common pc gamers. An over priced 4070 or 7900xt are great, a 7800xt or 7900GRE are the best this gen for price to performance but keep in mind the reality is more than 90% of diy pc gamers still 960/ 1060/1660 supers and currently 5700xt and 6700xt GPUs so this means nothing in reality. My entire guild just switched to 7800xt GPUs this last year and yet we still hear how the 3060 and 4060 are the most used when in reality steam bases their GPU stats in individual users not owners meaning wifi cafes using 3060 and 4060 gpus using 1080p still clock the most "owned" even though renters are not owners. At first I thought all 27 of us (my guild) must have been an phenom until we cross checked reality to find out no can compete with wifi cafes in China as there are 1.2 million internet cafes meaning there is that many 3060/4060 in use and no tech fluencer gives the reality of cards in actual use. I do appreciate you using these cards even though they are not used with the actual 550/5600x build most would use them with if they could afford it and they cant.

Your Content - including the non-music, commentary and variety of games are excellent... many people use the same games for benchmarks and honestly they are all FPS games ( 0 RTS games why ?) - so thank you for adding that. On that I'd like to point out that your audio is extremely muffled and I couldn't hear what you were saying 98 % of the time. I would upgrade your mic as soon as possible for a more enjoyable user experience. Looking forward to your content in the future!

I upgraded to a 4070 TI Super from a 6000 Radeon GPU just to experience RT which is well supported at this range of GPU. ( minimum 4070 Super for RT before it's viable ) Now that I've tried it, I'm over it. Looking forward to the RX 8000 as I expect Radeon to keep being the raster monsters they are with tons of VRAM.

Smart Access Memory - Resizable Bar enabled? Just to know.

what a shame no CS2.

The Nvidia 4080 Super cost more the the amd 7900xtx cost less plz get your price's right Thank you a d Nobody play's with rtx on unless u aee running the best system and card and even then rtx is useless

The 4080 is not worth the extra $300 for what you get in “ray tracing “!

The problem with linux has many factors that can affect performance whether negatively or positively. Proton versions might make a difference not to mentioned the custom made ones like ProtonGE. Wayland should perform better for overall performance but i haven't seen a test with x11 and yet reddit users are saying otherwise. Optimized kernel like CachyOS's kernel has shown to produce 1-3 more fps.

WOW! That RT looks so good!!!! lol

To be honest I don't care about 1080p and most likely those that are on 1080p are interested in what performance should they see when bumping up the resolution. I would skip it

is this an issue with DX12 games only? is the perf difference similar with older api like DX11?

There must be something wrong with your setup when running AMD. That mangohud frametime graph for the 7900XTX is atrocious. I've had some weird issues before while on fedora and nobara with my 7900XTX, which is why I left, but this is beyond what I remember. On my current config on Nixos, my frame time graph is for the most part flat (with exception of asset streaming stutter and shader compilation ofcourse, cant solve that with hardware), when compared to the same games displayed here (cyberpunk, BL3 and Dying Light 2). The 7000 series has some issues with the kernel driver, where its not completely drawing the amount of power it should be (in my case it fails to draw 350w). As far as I know this hasnt been fixed. Its advised to set the power limit manually either through the terminal or with a utility like corectrl. Regardless of the end result, if the frametime graph is to be believed, AMD is basically nonviable in this comparison, which is simply not the case as I can attest to. Average FPS is meaningless, when your average frame time graph has scoliosis. What DE did you install? What protocol are you using, wayland or X11? Which Proton verison are you running? How are you recording? Is the GPU receiving enough wattage? Did you perform a clean install? There are many variables unaccounted for this comparison. I have essentially the same rig (7800X3D, 32GB CL 30 6000MHZ RAM, 7900XTX, 1300w Seasonic PSU), I can reliably say that I've never experienced such a juddery frametime graph. And while my compositor of choice is neither gnome or KDE, but Hyprland, these compositors dont really have large discrepancies when it comes to performance. Even back then before this video released and I was still running nobara 39 with gnome, I my frame timegraph were basically flat bessides some weird fedora specific spikes here an there (caused by SELinux I think). I recommend giving Opensuse a try. Nixos is great, but its for enthusiast users and developers like myself.

Great video. I had both cards and they have practically the same performance in rasterization. The biggest problem is in games where you are forced to use FSR even at 100% scaling (Wukong, Alan Wake 2, others). AMD's image quality is garbage compared to NVIDIA in these games.

Let me know in the comments below what resolution are you using and, also, should I keep checking 1080p?

Hefty benchmark, seems like 4080 super is tad bit better but far more expensive

I think the reason starwars doesn't work is because of denuvo, but i might be wrong

Nobarhammer 40000

Good work bro, can you check if the power consumption stats are correct on Nobara? Because they just seem too good to be true. At 10:07 for example, the 7900 XTX is only using 225 watts on Linux while it matched the windows performance where it was consuming 358 watts. If that is not a bug, Mesa Driver team did the unthinkable but, I am just gonna assume its a bug for now and wait for verification. Other than that, I was not expecting the Star Wars Outlaws and Ratchet and Clank RT result of it matching the windows drivers. Just insane to think just two years ago RT was experimental on these drivers. Hopefully, this is just the start. Also, another suggestion I have for Ratchet and Clank testing is to test it in the Jungle planet. I forgot what it is called but, that planet seems to hate RTAO because it kills the performance of GPUs there. Perfect for testing in my opinion.

Hopefully now that Nvidia announced a roadmap for their linux drivers, they will optimize for games running under proton.

Absolutely interesting. New follower. 🌞😎

It seems like Windows still performs better than Linux. Few are performs better on Linux tho. Retry it with x11 on linux?

I have the same case but not the fancy RGB shining. How do you turn that on?

Learn to speak English man

This is pretty solid. I thought Windows 11 had much higher performance?

leehnex

Great video, what are you using to capture the stats? Afterburner on Win and Mangohud on Linux? Can you share the settings for capturing intervals?

I think that the GPU market is heading in the wrong direction. Contrary to what most people think, more VRAM is better. Just try to play with high texture settings and compare the performance to when you set it to low. You'll see that the performance drop is minimal, but the texture quality is huge. Imagine if entry level GPUs would start with 12 gb of VRAM. We would see better looking games. Another issue is that game developers are stupid and support the old GPU generation, like the 1000 series from Nvidia. To have better graphics we need to move the latest Directx version and stop supporting the previous versions GPUs that are not DrectX 12 Ultimate. I'm curious how many owners of the GTX 1000 series buy triple AAA games that were released. We need GPUs with more memory so we have high quality texture. I would love to see better optimization as I hate those stutters with good hardware. What's the point of getting good hardware, the best GPU if all games stutter like crazy.

What are you thoughts on the direction we are going: GPUs see less progress in the lower brackets but prices are increasing, just have a look at Nvidia's '60 that before were sold as '50 series GPUs.

fake results.. what are you trying to acheive ??

Win 10 here, definetely no Windows 11. It seems that the time has come to go full Linux with Nobara 40 and soon 41. Thanks for the helping video, keep posting dude.

Very nice video! At last, Linux can run a lot of games. It's a little slower than Windows, but runs very smoothly.

В этом и суть виндовс в отличие от линукс. Что в винде всё запускается, может где-то медленнее, где-то быстрее, но линукс это долбаный пердолинг. Даже уже в этом видео видно, что автор ужа с ним столкнулся на этапе Star Wars Outlast. Может её и можно заставить работать, но это ещё плюс несколько часов пердолинга.

Did you optimize Linux to the maximum potential and did you update everything to the latest version?

Your graphs are so small I can barely see them, have to squint my eyes so much just to see the numbers

Keep up the great work, not anytime soon i will see nvidia improve on this thoe, wayland too needs to improve to so, etc.. I hope so cause most gaming laptops still use nvidia.. as i am one laptop user xp.
