Good job LTT, this is much better than the fiasco you put out yesterday.
I stand 100% behind the video we did yesterday. It was a hell of a lot of work and I believe it's an excellent representation of the performance we can expect from a hotly-anticipated new product. There was a lot of asshurt over the inappropriate title that unfortunately hurt an EXCELLENT piece of content. Try not to judge it based on the title.
the VIDEO was NOT the Problem, the video is perfectly fine for what ti shows, the problem is the TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saying Previewed or Tested Implies you have your hands on the actual chips, it NEEDS to say SIMULATED, FIX THE TITLE and people will STOP being so pissed off.
+DanielRichards644 there is absolutely nothing wrong with "preview". Look it up in the dictionary. And a lot of the upset seems to be from people who didn't watch or didn't listen to the methodology.
Either way we are all lookin forward to comparing our preview numbers to the real numbers to see how close they are. Should be fun :D
I agree that it was a good video, however the fact remains that the title was incredibly misleading and as a result a lot of people felt baited. Whether this was intentional or not remains to be decided as you and your team have stated repeatedly that you'll do what gets you views, so the jury is still out on if it was an unintentional oversight or a deliberate attempt to bring in the views. We've seen this channel take a turn down gimmicky clickbait alley and so the title of yesterdays video was seen as the next logical step down that road.
In the end it comes down to this. We as the viewers hold a great deal of trust in you and your channel. A lot of us have been here since you were with NCIX and we have seen you develop your company before our very eyes and we honestly do want you to keep doing that, but not at the expense of you or your channel's integrity. We come to you because we want to see your companies innovation and ingenuity in times where others are jumping on the clickbait money train, not to see you guys jump on board too...
meh I watch these for entertainment, clickbait aitn nothing more than a way to get me watching quicker, I don;t mind if yall keep it up.
2007 still feels like 3 years ago not 10.
camy256 Seriously...It's crazy how time flies.
same
that just means you are getting old
Yep, it was 2 presidents ago.
yeah
When people say 10 years ago I still think 1990...
i feel ya:(
Mark Shan me too, nothing memorable after 2000
Sad life. :(
+Li Michael
There was 9/11 lol
I think like late 90's still so yeah I know what ya mean lol.
Would be nice to see an updated version of this video.
especially now, after the announcement of the 6000 series
Rtx 3090 owners are mad rn lmaooo
I agree...

Also Linus, please remake this if we get some more Navi shiz to put in it, same with the Nvidia one, it needs RTX and SUPER RTX
you have a higher tier of cpu than my athlon II x2 240 or is it just the first anthlon?

When he said 10 years ago I had 2001 in my mind... I'm getting old
haha same problem here man
3rd time seeing this posted and must say that a lack of accurate time perception about such things is actually a clear sign that you are not in fact getting older, if you subscribe to the belief that you are more than the biological procceses you facilitate. That's how I shrug it off anyway these days :)
how's that Radeon 9700 PRO for you doi'n?
Mine was really a 9500 pro with BIOS unlock but it was goooooooooood!
i was unhhh thinking 2007 (i was born in 2012 and thios was written in 2024. i live in 2017.
anybody remember Ruby on the AMD cards? she was my first crush when I was a teenager. oh the nostalgia.

What's wrong with u people
When your parents catch you (you know whating) to a gpu and your like "wait I can explain".
lol
Still using an R9 290X 4GB, AMD tweaked its performance over the years and still running great today for my 1080P needs.
73mathesar Same here! And my ASUS DCU2 card isn't that loud either. It's one of my best buys ever since I only paid about 250 $ for it.. 😀
Still using a R9 280X, indeed still does pretty well, more than 4 years later
Paid 200€ for my 8gb 290X Tri-X
yeah bought it last year. Was the cheapest one. The cheapest one with 8gb currently sells for 320€ on ebay. The ones with 4gb start at 180€

Vega did't age well

@@pangtundure and in 2022 vega 64 is about on par with a 1080ti in most benchmarks
Gaming experience might actually be a little better, much smoother with less hitches, that HBM really comes in clutch to deliver smooth framerate
the 7950/7970 is the most future proof gpu ever made.. even to this day it has no problems playing most games at high/ultra settings with a good framerate, i am never getting rid of my 7970s.. every few months i like to dust them off and test the performance of recent games.
the 7970 is exactly the same as the R9 280x.. mine is can overclock to 1250MHz stable as well :-) my main rig has a 1070 as i game at 1440p but if your doing 1080p there is no reason to upgrade
Paolo Angelo Anino my toxic did 1350. It slammed 780 s and would slap a 780ti in some games.
And i thought my windforce 7970 was a beast back in the day for doing 1250MHz haha ;p
meanwhile my old 7970 couldn't go over 1120 in most cases, god damn you gpu lottery
Darzo I have a 7850 that hits 1250 with ease. gcn 1.0 was awesome as fuck. now we wait on gcn 4.1 or whatever vega is
I still have a 7970. Still runs everything just fine. I don't see myself upgrading in a while. Old top of the line cards are the best bang for your buck.
Karl Robert Reinart I just recently upgraded to 3 RX 580s as opposed to my old set up of 2 7990s due to both the cooler finally commit suicide, and Fry's actually had some in stock... for actual price, not the $900 that people are selling them for on eBay to mine bitcoins, my friend who's dad was dumb enough to buy him 2 1080Tis accused me of black magic because I was performing better.
My brothers friend was offering me 2 780s for 250 euros at one point. Sadly i had no money and didnt pick them up....
Got a 980 for 300 around 1 1/4 years ago.
Karl Robert Reinart I untill recently was still rocking a 7950 on water that overclocked like a beast it was a his 7950 boost iceq I could run 1300mhz on it with custom bios stock was only 850 lol biggest overclock on any card I ever had shame it eventually died after 3years insane overclocked .
Now got 1070 on water it's good but hardly overclocks tho but bang for buck 7950 or 7970 still amazing cards best aging well cards ever made . I want another 7950 ice q one day just to overclock it was so fun also very good driver support too
I have the R9 280X and still kicking ass
I still play Battlefield 1 on ultra with my 7970
It's still a fucking beast in 2018

7970 was a beast man. I had 3 of them.
UndyingGhost 7970 was a great card, same the RX290
Why 3 though ?
UndyingGhost same here, only thing i need to do for maintenance is replace the thermal paste at least once a year to keep her below 75c with a oc to 1130mhz gpu and 1800mhz memory... waiting to see what amd next move will be with vega...
still rocking it myself while waiting for vega. Still performs well to this day.
History of GPU I bought :
- 9800gt
- 4870 cf
- 5770
- GTX 570
- 6770
- 7770
- 7870xt
- 7950
- GTX 750ti
- R9 380x
and now I'm stuck with intel hd 530
what a life...
i had 9800gt, was the very first graphic card I went out and bought. Huge upgrade from my 8mb Diamond whatever crap it was called.
did you move to laptop or something?
for me its
9600GT
GTX460 X2 - bought one but within 6 months it died, so bought another and yet again 6 months later it died with the same memory fault (had red scquares all over the screen and would work fine untill you install the drivers then the driver would crash and then windows would blue screen)
then i just went fuck you nvidia and switched to AMD so went out and bought
HD7770 1GB
and just recently upgraded to a
R9 270/270X 2GB
and i have to say now im on AMD things have been a lot better
Here's my GPU history:
-nVidia GeForce2 MX 400
-nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000
-ATi Radeon 9600 XT
-nVidia GeForce 6600 GT
-ATi Mobility Radeon X1300 (was in a laptop)
-nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
-nVidia GeForce 8600M GS (also in a laptop)
-nVidia GeForce GT 525M (again, another laptop)
-AMD Radeon HD 7850
-AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition
Currently waiting for Vega to come out to upgrade as I'm going to build myself a Ryzen system, really don't want to buy an RX 480 and I kind of want to stay on the AMD side if I can, so gotta wait to see how good Vega will be.
For me it's:
Nvidia GeForce GT 220
AMD Radeon HD 6670
AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050
It is amazing that in 5 years, AMD graphics card improved enough to go from 38 FPS on Half Life 2, to over 440.
This was fascinating as I have been a fan of AMD cards since the early 3870 days. AMD > NVidia.
what about computer fashion changes? what was a cool looking rig ten years ago is completely different now
I'm thinking about that one pic of the hotwheels complete computer set.
Those old compaq and hp machines from the early and mid 2ks that all had a CD tray spindle on top and a clear lid that made it look like a cheap lego space ship.
Before: metal and cheap plastic
Now: all glass everything
Also, rgb........but everyone know that.....
I just hope AMD bucks the trend of 'Finewine' with RX Vega. Let's be honest Raja said he doesn't like the term and rightly so, because it implies you don't get maximum performance on day 1 and have to wait until a year or two to achieve it's full potential. Traditionally AMD GPU's have always packed more horsepower under the hood than their equivalent Nvidia counterparts, thus they should theoretically be getting more fps than Nvidia when it's not the case. Imagine if the rx 480 was as fast as it is now after several software upgrades, upon release. It would be out and out faster than GTX 1060 and many more people would buy it.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why Vega is arriving late. They've been spending months optimizing the architecture to extract the best performance on day 1 like Nvidia and unlike the inefficient GCN. Could be good news for AMD fans if true.
vertonical I always like Amd for being pro consumer,nvidia has been anti consumer with abandoning direct x12 support on the 500series and making physx exclusive.
+banana boi In regards to PhysX, Luke showed us that PhysX is a complete waste of money and should never be used
exactly i use a gtx 260 vs a hd 7770 for example, both cards i had, both pefrom within margins of eachother in terms of fps yet 4 generations apart and the hd7770 has much better specs on paper... again amd and specs on paper....always good...on paper..
Vega is still using GCN.
That's total bullshit, there's no way a 260 ties a 7770
I remember HD 5770 1gb. It was an amazing overclocking card, was able to hit within a few MHz of the maximum clock speed.
Radeon 9700 Pro Master Race
9800XT semi-god here
Those cards have serious problems with any modern games. My HD3850 however can boot up almost any game and play it smoothly on non-HD settings. See no point in upgrading even though I got this exactly 10 years ago. Ironically I've upgraded my CPU like 7 times since even though everyone says that CPU development has been very slow thanks to Intel's nigh'-monopoly.
Movie Games I have this card
You must be playing games from 10 years ago
YESSS I HAD A 9700
for my very first card
I miss the cool pictures they use to have on graphic cards
Thats why I kept my 5770 all these years.
Sapphire is still using a sick looking robot for their AMD Radeon Graphics Card packaging. I too remember the robot frog that Palit had, and the dogs that BFG used to use. so many memories.
that's why old cards were reaching hot temps ;) iykwim hehe
The flames were the shit
Yeah, and like flames and shit
To sum it up, AMD has ryzen from what they used to be :)
BlindShot oh you!
Several more comments like this and you'll get a job offering from LMG :)
I see what you did there. :)
Amd that was a good comment :)
I woof leaf a pun aswell but I can't stick around for too log.
Fun fact: at 8:15 when he says that the card compare to a écoboost mustang, little did he know that the v6 configuration was a 3.5L v6 engine twin turbo with almost 400hp stock . With a tune and 2-3 Goodies you can crank it up to 500hp easy . Pretty fast engine for the price haha
love this style of video. really enjoy seeing hardware tested over time with modern drivers and software.
7970 is a value beast, i got 7990, basically 2 of those in 2017, so if a guy bought 2 in 2012 and managed to keep them until today, 2017, they lasted a really long time... i bought my 7990 at the end of 2013 (release) and not upgrated yet, still plays some games at 1080p but now at medium, but bf1 at ultra and some other, depending on optimization
This has been a rollercoaster ride for me...
I couldn't handle the GeForce...
Edit: *insert generic edit about this comment being the most likes I've ever gotten.*
I love Word play
haha
Sorry, I dont know how the GameWorks :c
haha again
Physx says that the force wouldn't be much :D

>RX 480
**me laughs in R9 290**
in 4 years they should make a 20 years of amd video cards and re benchmark them
*Next Vega reveal in summer*
AMD: "RX Vega will have HBM memory!!.....*Presentation ends*.......BUT free food for everyone who came!!"
Ashley Johansson looool
everyone just calls it HBM memory when comparing it to gddr5 memory
When he was talking about ten years ago I was like "oh boy graphics cards from 2000-2002" .....then I realized 2007 was ten years ago.......
lampini Yeah, that's what I thought and I'm 21.
480 $199? PFFFFFFT HAHAHA!
Well due to the mining hype, problems with manufacturing plants in Asia and high memory demand for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets,..), supply/demand and market economics raised the retail price.
199 was probably suggested consumer price by AMD.
You're poor
Bought mine a year ago for $190.
Got mines for $ 230 a week after launch
Man times have changed. Got my 580 for 150
This video poped on my recommended now pls make an update vid
@5:00 I'm pretty sure those aren't graphics cards you're highlighting, guys.
DeusGladiorum lol yeah
It's still AMD, no one will notice. And don't tell anyone.

7970 is still an amazing card
Best investment in my life, although under load is hot af and sounds like leaf blower.
My 7970 Ghz has lasted me a very long time, I'm very happy with it. But yeah, just like MateoB said. Leafblower/Jet Turbine under heavy load.
had a 3850, was a beast when playing oblivion and gothic 3
Stop! You violated the law. Pay the court a fine, or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.
Great video. Fun fact - in 2009, I resurrected an ancient gaming PC with an AMD64 3400+ from 2003 and 2GB of RAM. I replaced the nVidia fx5900 with an AMD 3750, which was apparently the best AGP card you could buy at the time. Although the processor was a bottleneck, it actually played most games quite well and got me back into PC gaming. In 2010 I rebuilt a machine from scratch with a 4870 which I kept for 7 years before going for a GTX1060.
What's that "lock" on the 6970? It has always bothered me since there is no info on the internet.
You mean the little switch? It selects between the two BIOS chips.
I meant the thing on the top left of the cooler. If that's what it is, then it's a really cool design! Thanks for the reply!
Edit: I was looking at the picture shown at 3:45
I wonder what kind of technology that baby will review when he reaches Linus's age.
Remember when the 480 was the top of the line 3 years ago? lol
Now what is the top?

Back in December, I had upgraded to a Five Ninety series Hewlett~Packard Pavilion, Model p0057c: This model comes with an RX Lexa Graphics Card, and while it only has 02 GB of VRAM, having an Intel Core i05~8400 or i07~8700 truly helps this GPU shine, and its low cost and wattage definitely has made it an ideal GPU to have on a budget, especially if you're purchasing hardware from Micro Center.
Ideally, if you want a decent grade yet affordable Graphics Card from AMD that has a high amount of VRAM and won't take up so much of your Power Supply limit (if you're on a 2000$ USD Gaming or All~Around budget), the best one for its money (at the time of this post) is the Radeon Pro WX 7100, in my view: While a Workstation Graphics Card that is still priced at Workstation levels (about half a thousand dollars, on average), this Ellesmere card from a little over two years ago comes with 08 GB of VRAM and is right in the middle of the GCN 04.00~based RX Polaris cards in terms of overall speed and performance, only fifteen watts more in TDP than the RX 0570; the WX 7100 has also been proven to be useful in Benchmark Testing for games against its closest RX counterparts, and comes with some optimizations for certain applications that may require a WX to use, it gets the job done without forcing you to up your Power Supply to ridiculously high wattage limits and you could last on this for at least the next decade, definitely optimal to use with the 8700K or 8086K if you have a rig with either or. (:
What about the the monstrousity that was the R9 295X2?
DrillFX you're right, I must've missed that bit
295x2 wasn't bad ... ask the Titan Z how heavy it weighs on the failure scale ...
Honestly 295X2 is quite powerful, it kick some ass for quite a long time.
Matter of fact...I think the 295X2 is even faster than my Fury Nitro....
I'm still running it lol. It performs between a 980 Ti and a 1080 on any game that has a crossfire profile.
Anything single GPU and I'm stuck with R9 290X performance at 1100 MHz clock and 2800 MHz memory.
haha, no it doesn't. Most people are just shit overclockers, no amd card even beats my galax 970. In any game.
Wow they actually had all the cards. I expected them to just have a r9 and "simulate" the other cards.
dolphi123456 XD
And that is how kids a new meme is born!
sick burn
Nihal Mishra nice profile pic lol
Shouldnt the HD 5970 be in there instead of the HD 5870?
I’m surprised that some of these cards aged so well. AMD FineWine am I right.
Sapphire nitro+ 8gb rx480 here, great budget card, eagerly awaiting for Vega in hopes that it competes with 1070/1080 so that I can get a 700€ 3440x1440 34" 100hz freesync monitor instead of a 1300€ one with gsync
lol
I just did a build with the xfx rx 480 8 gb edition
Same. I just got mine a few weeks ago...
I bought the 270x from a friend for 20$ :D coming from and hd 7850 with 1gb of vram I am happy was happy with the hd 7850 still ran great but that 1 gb of vram was painfull the gpus horsepower could not be harnest in any new game
Nikola Kuzmanovic Rose i run a powercolor amd 7850 2gb card oc to 1125mhz core and 1475mhz vram runs really well
i own the Asus Strix RX480 and want to get the 1080Ti or equivalent from AMD as i have the 7700K and want 4K 144 FPS gaming will wait for till the end of the year till i find out how much that Asus 4K, 144Hz, Quantum Dot, HDR and 1ms response time monitor costs then i will see
i think it will sell for around $600-$800 as it is a couple hundred dollars over 1440p 144 Hz displays TN and most IPS where i live
i Belive you as i said still a great card mine was just vram starved and ran at 1000 mhz core and 1450mhz vram, best part is I'm gonna sell the 7850 for more then i paid the 270x :D
0:29 "so let's take a look at how AMD video card innovation, over the last 10 years"
Should have said "Radeon" instead of "AMD": the HD 3xxx, 4xxx, and 5xxx series were all still branded ATi.
Yup they we're branded ATI, but ATi was already bought by AMD in 2006. So it's not false.
Read my comment again and you will see the part where I said "were all still *branded* Ati," and you will see your comment was redundant. That is a FACT, even by YOUR OWN admission, so I don't even know what your comment was. I never said anything was false, jackass.

Almost time for that 14 Years of AMD Video Cards Video
Please do an updated version.
I'm using a 3870 in my PC right now
tell that to people which run Intel HD graphics :D
He's not complaining though.
MrAntieMatter I'm not complaining. In fact I'm surprised how well it works still.
I use a 1920x1080 monitor and another 1280x1024 monitor. It runs on Fedora 24. I mostly use it for reddit and youtube, and it runs 1080p60 videos smoothly.
The benchmarks on here don't seem true. It says 38FPS for half life 2, but I just tried it now and on max settings and I'm getting 60FPS completely fine. It's playing this video in 1080p without any frame drops.
I remember a few years ago playing portal 2 when it came out on this exact same card on medium settings perfectly fine, probably 50fps, but this was 2011 and I don't remember that well.
+Gatewayuser200 Let me guess. You are one of those "Fuck yea Murica, hamburgers, eagles and shit"?
I used to play Portal and Portal 2 in 1280*1024 (which is actually more than 720p) with a HD4650, and apart from AA it had no problems running them at 60
Wait what about the R9 295X2?
Yeah, and what about radeon pro duo? It isn't even mentioned in the video.
As an owner of a 295X2 I always feel like a ghost when these comparison videos come out. I'm in the room, but no one notices.
Come on AMD, release a 595X2. Pleeeeease!
ABambooBilbo because the 295x2 was really just two 290Xs on the same PCB, effectively being nothing more than a hot pair of 290Xs in crossfire.
ABambooBilbo single gpu cards....
They said single-GPU cards only
*cries in 2021 gpu prices*
The 7950 and the 7970 were just beasts for the time, they can still game, its amazing.
Still Playing with my 7970 and 280x in CF :D
rightfully so.
mazedmarky it works without problems. ^^
Yea those cards are awesome. Got an RX480 and will get a second one later this year, was always interested in trying out CF.
mazedmarky 4Gb or 8Gb? the only problem is the 3gb Vram :/ they have a lot of power but they're running out of vram
Yea that is sad. I just recently learned Vram doesen't add up in CF :/ I got the Sapphire reference 8GB, it runs at 1320/2125 @1080mV. Gonna upgrade the cooler in a few months because I am able to hit 1420mhz on the core and that results in a nice fps boost.

GTX 670 EVGA FTW SIG2 2 GB (Broke for no damn reason)
R9 290
And now I am using the GTX 1070 Ti.
I've used:
HD 5770(my first ever gpu and it served me good)
gtx 650 ti 2gb
gtx 760 2gb
gtx 770 4gb (first time upgrade to 4gb VRAM)
Now i finally have gtx 980 ti 6gb (insane card)
Donald Neal gt 230, gtx 550ti, gtx 750ti, gtx1080, gtx 1080ti(2)
I've used:
GT 210
HD 3870
Now I'm using Titan V
Bruh that 10000% performance jump is inhuman
Dreadnought Hahah no your not kid
Where is the 4gb 5970 xfx AMD Graphic Card ? It is faster than 6990
What happened to the oldest ones? The early 2000s was the most interesting time! After SM 3.0 it was all incremental.
Please change the title of this video to "AMD Vega Previewed". I think it is more appropriate.
nutterwithbutter you won't believe what these old AMD video cards can do!
Dude I used HD 3870 made by Sapphire and it was a killer! You know the big one! Still working to this day! Now I have RX 480 and it's freaking awesome.
caps_l0ck im still on the 7970! team red!
I'm still using 2 HD 7850 in crossfire 😂😂😂
very nice
nice hows the performance for current games so far?
Aaron18Cvx
Pretty decent. In Tomb Raider I can get 61fps average with everything on even with TressFx. Hitman Absolution and Max Payne 3 is also super smooth at maximum settings.
Flash Man what about your electricity bill?
brky well with my 8350fx and logitech thx speakers it draws just 400watts. In comparison my iron takes 2.6kw! So yeah it's livable :p
When your radeon hd 2400 pro is so old it’s not on the list
damn this video made me feel old. I remember playing F.E.A.R. on my Radeon HD 2900 and a Core 2 Duo.
Power consumption for the RX 480 must be wrong...
HD 7970 -> 225w with 250w TDP.
RX 480 -> 307w with 150w TDP.
Switched results?
Juani Cere source?
It's manufacturer information. 7970 has 250w tdp and 480 150w tdp.
And 7970 has 6+8 pin connectors (8+8 in custom models) while 480 has only one 6pin connector (8 in custom model).
what is tdp? I thought it was the amount of power the gpu needed why is it more than what is recommended?
TDP is "thermal design power", its how much energy takes to disipate a microchip. Isnt really the consumption of the card, but is a estimation very close to it. This is helpfull to buy the correct cooler.
Now, those graphics always (or almost always) shows the total system consumption, because its more easy than measure only the gpu. So they are showing all system consumption (cpu+gpu+ram+motherboard+HDD).
Juani Cere Oh I get it so they don't include the thermal energy created by the mosfets, capacitors, and ram on the pcb? Tdp is just the core?
Do Nvidia cards over 10 years next. (:
as a long time mostly nividia fan i would love to see this just now on my 2nd amd card an r9 before that i had a crossfire setup in an alienware laptop
They're all trash, not worth a review.
NinevoltMoDz Yes Nvidia is trash and AMD is at the bottom of that trash.
1800 2Easy Amd will always be better amd isn't trash
NinevoltMoDz yes it isn't trash. Its at the bottom of the trash pile.
it would be interesting if they refreshed this series
Amd has been through a hard time and now it is the king in both the cpu and gpu market
Hi LTT,
Long time fan, first time commenting on one of your videos. I love this one. The combo of history, hardware and benchmark to see how far AMD has come is wonderful.
meanwhile greedvidia prices have increased
Sam Bloom i use a 980ti g1, unlike u i am not a corporate slave, and i mentioned the truth, if u disagree prove me wrong.
p.s learn some manners .
1080ti
What kind of company releases a high end GPU (1080) and within several months later turkey slaps their consumer's face by releasing the 1080ti with the same price as the 1080 with 30%-35% performance increase.
They've also forgot the fact that a 1060 even existed and completely focused on the 1070-1080ti, forgetting that not all of their consumers are hardcore people trying to 4K game at 60fps average
Meanwhile AMD are focusing on the 1080p players, slowly balancing the worthiness of their products (driver updates and etc). They're playing with the market very wisely. With the Ryzen CPU's mostly focusing on 1080p while being dirt cheap you could almost say that AMD are being too generous. With Vega coming I won't be surprised if people are gonna switch to the red team.
Obviously the Vega won't be on par with the 1080ti (I could be wrong but I'm no fortune teller). But it'll obviously be the bang of the buck. I can see the Vega being priced at around $400+/-ish while offering 4K. With future games switching to DX12 and Vulkan, and the Ryzen's core being more optimized and used rather than focusing on single core.
Basically a TL;DR
Stick with Nvidia if you want the front row seat asap
Stick with AMD if you're a patient person and willing to watch your products slowly mature
4:19 that cooler tho
Watching this just 3 years later is so nice
Nice video!
My video card trip was:
HD 4650
HD 5770
HD 6850
HD 7950
R9 280X
Next: GTX 1060 or RX 480..
Rodrigo Orellano mine was
GeForce 4
ati radeon 3850
4850
6950
280x
and now gtx 1060 6gb
WHAT? No GTX 1080 ti?
Just curious, why the upgrade from 7950 to the 280X when the 280X was just a 7970 rebrand?
Because I sold the 7950 for the same price I bought the 280X :P
I would go for RX 480. it plays nice with the new APIs. I have 1080 sli. the driver does weird things to my
windows 10. I'm very disappointed with nvidia's drivers, went from 3 x r9 290 to 1080 sli for a change. I was hoping for better drivers like everyone said but most of the time it does weird things and fucked up Windows 10 start menu. Temperature is about the same but I only use Kraken + Corsair 120mm AIO cooler. just updated to nvidia new driver yesterday, hopefully the weird shits are gone.
5:02 All three of the major console manufacturers? I thought Nintendo used Nvidia tech for the Switch, not AMD.
MrRicearonie notice that he didn't highlight the switch when the chart was up. I think he was referring to the Xbox one, PS4, and PS4 Pro.
They do I mean you can see it in the Video aswell...no idea what Linus is talking about....
Jyrka98 While that is correct, and Nintendo did use Radeon Graphics for the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U, the time frame only makes it possible for the Wii U to use the architecture. If Linus is referring to the Wii U, which I doubt, then maybe, but the Wii U was not in the image they showed in the video
I guarantee Linus was talking about the Wii U.
There was probably just a mix-up in what image they used to reference the subject.
Also the switch replaces the Wii U as well. AKA the Switch is nintendos newest console/portable hybred and will likely be replacing the 3DS as well down the line. So Linus was still wrong when he said that current consoles from the 3 companies all use AMD Chips as Nintendo has pretty much killed the Wii U and the Switch is their current system which uses Nvidia Tegra.
I actually still have my old Radeon HD 4890, aka. the jet turbine. It was funny how it reached 105c under 100% load but didn't even ramp up the fan past 80%.
I think it's time to do one with Vega and Navi.
It still feels like yesterday whenever I was gaming on my Dell Vostro with an AMD 6850. It's sad I never got the 7850 to work on it as support for non GCN GPUs is almost non-existent outside of the Linux Radeon drivers. I also need a new motherboard and/or CPU because it now posts with a cache test failure. I really do miss messing around on that PC. :(
What did you get?
so im using a 2007 graphic card all this time.
right now this cards are 15 years old this is so insane
Wouldn't it be nice "to see a renewed version of this video and the Nvidia one
the HD 2900xt is Photoshoped in at 2:23
MightyDirtKing the clip with the 2900xt is from an old ltt motherboard review from 2008
Something to remember is that the 5870 not only dominated the market in performance, but it had an MSRP of only $380.
That was pretty much the last time top-tier performance didn't cost an arm and a leg (just part of the arm).
Man and 2 years later they surprised everyone with the 5700 line up
And here I'm standing with 2012s hardware and still rocking.
In 10 yers we will have videos where we look at gtx 1080ti and laugh of bad it is.
It costs 500 dollars and is powerful not a waste of money.
The 1080ti will never look bad unless each new gen has serious gains like Maxwell to pascal
KING0SISQO I'll look back in 20years and laugh at how weak tech was with my low end crystal based pc
"only 4K pffffffff"
Nah. We're already reaching the limits of substantial performance gains with each new generation, and real time graphics aren't progressing *that* much. We've already achieved some truly ground breaking shit in real time graphics already, and it's mostly consoles that'd holding us down. So 10 years from now I know for a fact that graphics won't make that much of a leap, so instead games will push resolution as the new hot thing.
I'm calling it now, 10 years from now the 1080ti will still be able to run games comfortably at 1080p. New graphics cards will focus on running games at 4k.
How are some of these old AMD cards performing better then my GTX 960??
Spunky Bob fr tho, just ordered a 1070 strix, but if had a 960 SSC for the past year or so. 960 is a decent card
The HD 7970 is quite above the GTX 960 in modern games, memory bandwidth being a big reason of it.
the cpu i think
It’s called finewine
because one of the benchmarks is Half-Life 2, which was a game engine which always ran better on the ATI cards for some reason only vAlve could tell you.
3:04 THAT HEATSINK MAN
At 0:16 PCIE bandwidt graph shown is incorrect.
This is the true statement:
Total Bandwidth: (x16 link): PCIe 3.0 = 32GB/s, PCIe 2.0 = 16GB/s, PCIe 1.1 = 8GB/s
