      Nvidia feels like if you buy one of their 12gb cards this year/last year then you'll just need to buy another card next year when the next wave of games comes out. It feels like it's going to just be a waste of money. I bought a 1440p monitor about a year ago (my old one died) and then I got a new cpu+mobo+ram because my old system died so now I'm on the look out for a GPU (Rx 570 4gb) and what I'm seeing right now just seems like it'd be a bad idea to upgrade right now. I think the next wave of cards will help reduce price and maybe just better than this gen. RDNA 3 for example obviously had issues and if they can fix them in 4 then it'll be worth the wait. Nvidia are just expensive and disappointing due to ram being low in most of them or just taking the piss with the 4060 16gb model.
      Also if you want to mess around with AI then 12gb is a bit low if you can get a 16gb or higher ram card for the same or cheaper price. Ai needs more ram rather than speed.

      Question. Could you elaborate on the relationship between the bus vs memory amount? I have 3070 ti. which has 8GB and 256 bit bus (608.3 GB/s bandwidth), but 4070 has 12GB and 192 bit bus (504.2 GB/s bandwidth). So... which one has better VRAM? I am confused. Is bus just an enabler for VRAM capacity and so it doesn't quite matter, or what's going on here?

    The 5700xt is the first GPU I bought with my own money.
    The first year of owning it would've been hell if it weren't for AncientGameplays testing, logging and sharing the most stable driver releases.
    No other channel went above and beyond for Navi 10 testing.
    Radeon is just smooth now. Just as stable as my Nvidia card, if not more.
    The 5700xt started with 2060s on launch, now it's trading blows with a 2080s.

    I think the biggest damage to Nvidia's brand was caused by the 8GB VRAM on the RTX3070 becoming insufficient within 3 years. The fact that the RX6700XT and RX6800 can run some games above 60fps with settings that make the 3070 choke on the 8GB memory made many people ask questions about Nvidia's reliability as they still offer less VRAM within the same price tier compared to AMD.

    I love how Fabio basically validated my "99.9% sure-fire fix for all Radeon problems" checklist:
    1) Reset BIOS to defaults. Load XMP. Set boot device. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU'VE VERIFIED SYSTEM STABILITY.
    2) Reinstall Windows from the latest ISO from Microsoft if this install has seen another vendor chipset or GPU. DDU is NOT to be considered a "cross vendor tool".
    3) Use a name-brand HDMI/DP cable and make sure it isn't any longer than it has to be. This fixed EVERY SINGLE black-screen issue during the RDNA1 era where everyone was complaining about it up and down reddit all the time.

      In dome cases xmp can also give a lot of issues if you for example run 3600 MHz on AM5. These days it's working fine but in the past so. Ecpu's did not want to run that with older biosses. Especially with higher soc voltages.

    • @vigilant_1934
      @vigilant_1934 5 місяців тому

      @@Nelthalin So DDR4 speeds on AM5's DDR5-only platform? Or did you mean AM4? Btw, something I learned maybe a year after building my first PC (which was summer 2020), RAM speed is in Mega Transfers per second (MT/s) not MHz. Sometimes retailers advertise MHz on the product page, but in reality the memory clock for DDR4-3600, for example, will be running at 1800MHz. Double data rate (DDR) is why that speed is doubled and you get 3600 MT/s.
      When I was on AM4 I personally never had any issues setting DDR4-3600 CL16 in XMP for my 32GB Crucial Ballistix kit. That was something that may have been difficult pre-Zen 2 (I had a slower RAM kit and stuck with DDR4-3200 with my Ryzen 5 2600) but when I upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3700X it had no trouble on my B450 Gaming Plus Max (BIOS was updated for Zen 2 out of the box). I didn't know much about SOC voltages at the time and let XMP do the work. I'm on AM5 now and tuned and overclocked my current RAM from DDR5-5600 to DDR5-6000 so SOC mattered but I followed Buildzoid's advice for timings and voltages and have had no issues with voltage being too high like some people have had with certain BIOS's on some motherboards this gen.

    A further cut down Navi 32 would be more expensive than a memory-doubled full Navi 33.
    It would also have to be sacrificial binning, because there's no way they have enough supply of defective dies for such a low-end Navi 32 release. They're probably building up a supply of lower-binned Navi 32 to release a 7700 at some point, in a limited release, perhaps only to OEM's.
    Overall, though, I think it's correct to say they've been forced into bad naming by the existence of the 7900 XT. Here's what it should have been:
    7900 XTX = 7900 XT ($900)
    7900 XT = 7800 XT ($750)
    7800 XT = 7700 XT ($500)
    7700 XT = 7700 ($400)
    However, I disagree with Fabio about the 7600 XT naming. I think 7600 and 7600 XT are the correct names for those two products. Having double the memory and a clock speed increase is more than enough to justify the distinction. The reason people railed against the 4080 12GB is because it had the same name as the 4080 16GB, but with a lot less compute. There's no relation between that situation and the 7600 versus 7600 XT situation. There _might_ be if they just called it a 7600 16GB instead, while having a clock speed increase. _That_ naming would lead someone to think they're the same performance save for the RAM difference. It'd be like the 1060 3GB and 1060 6GB, where the names are the same but the performance is very different even ignoring the RAM difference.

      I agree with Dr. Su. I bought 500 AMD shares at ~$2 back in 2015 (could have gotten them for $1.8 if I hadn't hesitated) and they're now worth ~75k and have payed for themselves many many times over. She plays it careful, and she plays the long game. If she thinks RDNA4 needs to be a bread-and-butter release like Zen and Zen+ was (Zen+ actually made AMD pretty good money!) in preparation for something that can't miss it's targets, then that is the right course of action for my investment.
      I have an XTX at 1440p so waiting for top end RDNA5 was probably something I'd do anyhow.

    One of my brothers got 4070FE 3 weeks before Rx7800xt launched. His argument was power efficiency, because he made a small, relatively low power system, very quiet, working as HTPC mostly, and he plays almost exclusively World of Tanks. Where he lives (Poland) rx7800xt was like 40$ cheaper so not that big of a deal for him, considering 100W power draw less for similar performance with dlss as a backup. The other brother got 7800xt because games he plays rely more on raster and vram bandwidth. 4GB more with 256b bus (vs 192b in 4070) won for him. He also doesn't care that much about the power draw.

    RT and PT still need a lot of computing power. You can run RT fine now with 1-2 RT-related features, but not with all of them. And PT needs SO much power, that it is only viable in 2-3 generations. The PT games right now are like Tech-Demos for high-end Nvidia GPUs.

      Yeah i guess it will take many years until rt or even pt become mainstream and we may see it as a standard in more titles. I tend to agree with fabio's opinion. Until then rt and pt are more kind of an experimental feature running besides the main graphics pipeline. I see this in nixxes ports causing a lot of trouble.

    • @gucky4717
      @gucky4717 6 місяців тому +1

      @@Cameronmid1 I see it this way. Only 1080p matters atm, since you can use DLSS to decrease the internal resolution, while keeping the output resolution high.
      For 1440p you use the quality setting and for 4k performance, both use 1080p as internal resolution.
      Why only these settings? Because you use visible quality if you go below 1080p internal resolution with DLSS.
      If you talk only RT, depending on the amount of RT the 4090 can lose upto 35% of performance. And with PT you might lose upto 65% of FPS compared to the FPS you get in raster.
      You have to take that 35% hit to FPS.
      But you can use FG to gain ~40% FPS back from the hit with PT, since all PT games have FG. :D
      With DLSS performance and FG I can play CP2077 and Alan Wake 2 with 90-100FPS in 4k with maxed settings and PT.
      I do see a few visual artefacts from FG or DLSS, but only if you look for them.
      99,99% of the time you don't look for them and only play the game...

      It's not the cost of the VRAM itself that is becoming a problem. The problem lies in the fact that pure logic shrinks "properly" with each node generation, but cache shrinks worse and analog logic (memory controllers are considered analog for reasons I'm getting into here) shrinks even worse again. Nvidia are screaming at GDDR manufacturers to make faster ram so they don't have to have as wide busses, because by TSMC N2 35% of the die needs to be the memory controllers if they have to use the current compute-to-memory-controller ratio.

    I’ve had a 7900XTX since launch and have really appreciated all of the Ancient Gameplay content!
    They said it well here, how many people have realistically waited over a year to spend $600 - $1200 on a GPU? If people had that kind of money to spend on a GPU they would have done so already. Unless a particular SKU really moves the price/performance needle I can't believe that mid-gen refreshes will ever sell like hotcakes.
    I liked the discussion surrounding AMDs plans for the next year or two. After using the 7900XTX for a year I agree that its biggest downfall is the RT performance. I went with the XTX because I needed a 4K card to drive my 48" OLED (48GQ900-B) since my 2080 Super wasn't cutting it. The card is a true performer in 4K raster, and while the RT performance is good enough for 1440p (with FSR), the trade off isn't worth it at 4k (even with FSR). AMD should only release high-end GPUs next-gen if they can close the performance hit in RT. If they can't do this then they are better off releasing a mid-range raster king that sells for $600.

    Daniel Owen did do some benchmarks on comparable AMD and Nvidia cards and their RAM usage. What I found interesting is that despite the NV card allocating less RAM, the frame time was stuttering a lot less. I would say despite what it looks, AMD is allocating more RAM as buffers and that has had a positive effect on performance.
    I recommend people to look at that video well when considering a new GPU. I would not buy an Nvidia card with 12GB unless it is a cheap 3060, but some people do really dislike FSR2 artifacts.

    As clumsy as AMD's naming was with RDNA3 (shifted by nearly a half tier), nVidia's naming was even much worse --- to the point that they have shifted entire tiers! That combined with the lack of VRAM at nearly every price point on nVidia's end is the main reason for the pool results on HU... I completely agree with Arkinia08!

  • @JoeStuffzAlt
    @JoeStuffzAlt 6 місяців тому +4

    Radeon drivers have improved greatly. They used to be far behind Nvidia. AMD's control panel, although bloated, is pretty nice. I do hate the navigation trends on the AMD panel though because I often have to dig a lot to get to the setting I want. Nvidia has a Windows 95-like driver control panel, but I will credit it for being easy to navigate.
    There's reviewers that have changed their story 1-2 years after AMD driver releases for RDNA2 for good reason. The RX 6700 XT went from "Literally Anything Will Sell (GamersNexus)" to "Best Bang for the Buck" awards, of course one reason being price cuts. They did well in RDNA2. I think they get somewhat of a finger wag over anger because of what Nvidia did for the 4000 series. This might have been a huge factor
    I wonder if the improvements in the 6000 series drivers actually hurts the 7000 series. The 6000 series drivers improvements on some benchmarks are almost an improvement of 1 GPU generation. I wonder if the 7000 series will get something similar. When making the 7000 series, was their target the 6000 series with the 2021 drivers? Note that it takes years for a GPU to be built, so they might not have been able to predict the driver improvement
    Also, the 7000 series improvement is a guess on my part, but I also say we should not count on it being a guarantee to happen

    4070 launched with a copy of Diablo 4, and you get nothing with 4070 super. That's almost 100 dollar(tax-in) difference for people who would've bought the game or willing to sell the code, same goes for 7800xt with Starfield ultimate edition. At 500-600 price range, that's already 15-20% value.
    So for the people who rejected the 4070 and 7800xt at launch because they think they are not getting enough value, they are not getting more value with 4070 super now, after 8 month. -- That's also 8 month closer to the next gen GPUs.

    Unfortunately, the 4080 (and 4080 Super) are still out of my price range for WHAT I need the card for. I'm just a low-tier streamer who enjoys playing video games.
    I had my wallet set on spending $800 dollars on a 4070 TI back at the end of November 2023 until I found this channel and learned about the 4070 TI Super. So getting the 4070 TI Super for less than the price of a 4070 TI, it's a no brainer.

    • @andersjjensen
      @andersjjensen 6 місяців тому +4

      I say this as someone who shelled out $1000 on an XTX without blinking: $800 for the 4070Ti or 4070Ti Super is still absolutely steep. The 4070Ti Super at least has 16GB but it's not the 15% uplift over the 4070Ti that the 4070 Super was over the 4070. Benchmarks have already leaked and we're looking at 8% faster. For $800. That makes it precisely 25% stronger than the 3080. Which cost $700.
      Getting a 25% stronger card for 14% more money after three years is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!

      @@k0ntroversialgaming No. The first leaks (not just rampant speculation) said 15% and Techpowerup's +100 game average has it at 16%. The current leaks say 8%, so if we put that at 9% (though that's a bigger increase than 15 to 16) it's still not even beating the 7900XT in raster.
      But of cause, if you're comparing the price of an upper mid-range card to the prices of last generation high end, and completely ignore the time that has passed, then sure it looks fantastic. Like every GPU launch in history!... but the fact of the matter is that if you compare it to 3070ti/3080 (as you should) it's absolutely abysmal. In this tier we've traditionally gotten 25-30% more performance at the same price point. Now you're looking at 25% more for 17% more money. That's equivalent to 7-8% more performance for the same money. And this is the mid-cycle refresh... not original launch.
