    “Not get dlss3.0 features on your 30 series”
    But DLSS 3.0 features do work on the 30 series? and the 20 series. The only thing locked out is frame gen.

    “Retard” who bought Nvidia here.

    I know it’s 4chan banter and generally agree with anons points, but here goes:

    • ROCM wasn’t a thing when I bought. You need(ed) NVidia for machine learning and other GPGPU stuff
    • I have yet to hear from anyone with an 8GB card who maxes out that memory on current-gen games at 1080p
    • apart from frame generation, you DO get DLSS 3 features on 3000 series cards

      “Based” who bought AMD here.

      ROCM is still in it’s infancy stage. Literally ROCM isn’t supported for my 6700 XT, so I had to return to Google Colab to work on my AI thesis project.

        And this the issue. You pretty much have to buy a GPU for your specific needs with what’s currently available.

        Talking shit about people who bought a graphics card support 3 years ago almost to the day is pretty senseless. A 3080 vs the 5700 XT one has support then and the other is just barely getting workarounds for certain use cases.

        OTOH 3 years ago if that same NVIDIA buyer were a Linux user they benefitted then and it’s likely it’s better off today. AMD has gotten lots of driver updates for Linux and NVIDIA has probably pushed 3 changes, lol.

        If you want to do AI, easily, you’re just going to want to get NVIDIA. It sucks, but that’s just the case unless you want to jump through hoops for what can be a simple installation. I helped my friends get Stable Diffusion running on his 7900xtx but compared to my installation it was a huge PITA and still ran slower I/t than my 3080.

        Granted, using Windows and neither of us are Linux aficionados.

        And if you want gaming and pretty much anything else, then AMD is a fine equivalent, as long as the player is okay with no efficient RayTracing and no DLSS. I was interested in those features so I got the 3080 a few years ago. My friend wasn’t as interested and went for the 7900XT. I can understand disliking aspects of a company but I don’t understand the intensity from anyone going all in on one or the other. Like, AMD is doing great things, it’s a bonus that it’s pretty ethical as far as we know. NVIDIA is also doing great things pushing the software side of hardware, they’ve just got a stint of bad leadership and have made some dumb decisions. Just like 10 years ago, NVIDIA doesn’t look the same as it does today, and 10 years from now will likely be the same.

    Buy whatever card you need for your use case. Both are fine.

    For me, as a gamer, I think dlss is good shit, and nothing really beats it Rn. Also I like using rtx in single player games, I only expect 60-90fps from games anyway.

    I’m a game developer, I benefit by using a nvidia card because i have greater access to current standard apis and graphics features, hardware acceleration for light baking, the option to use tensor cores for learning how to write shit for it, and it generally has better compatibility with dev tools.

    Nvidia cards also tend to keep their value more, at least down under.
