lol “not being able to run games” have you heard of a little thing called the steam deck?
Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips?
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI run Linux on my PC with a 3090 and my server has a 1070Ti.
The proprietary driver works ok. I can’t imagine having an AMD GPU and not being able to play games or do ML or have NVENC for transcoding/video editing, AMD is just not a serious company in the GPU space. Proper competition is sorely needed. Such a shame too, because I’m quite glad to never have to buy an Intel CPU ever again and deal with their ass backwards ecosystem

Or indeed the PS5 which runs AMD chips.

And runs the few games it does have pretty poorly, all things considered.
survirtual@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is nonsense and, frankly, sounds like guerrilla marketing for nvidia.
All things considered, I can play any game I want on the steam deck, which has an old SoC by today’s standards. A newer AMD gpu can run anything at max settings on a linux machine.
So again, either you are grossly misinformed or working for nvidia to sew gentle doubt. Either way, stop it.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Runs it better than any PC costing a similar amount.
You can barely get an entry level GPU for that.

I have a steam deck. It’s a portable, it’s really cool for what it is but as a main gaming system it can’t exactly compete visually with Path Tracing in CP2077 for instance, which I’d say is borderline required to enjoy the game’s visuals.

they point was about “not being able to game on amd”
yeah duh mobile chips are less performant, but still forza horizon 4–5 runs better on my steam deck than on my desktop pc with a 2080rtx in linuxLainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Why would I game on shit settings when I can game on good settings for the same/less money?

Sorry, I needed to vote negatively your comment due to the false information. Nothing personal, just keeping the house clean
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
What false information?
thelittleblackbird@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
AMD gpus are inside in Xbox and ps5, without taking into account the handhelds like steam deck.
For the ML is usually better to use amd cards because they use to have more vram, and many many models can be trained using amd.
And about the transcoding comment I will bother myself ait it.
In summary, tells me you don’t have any clue without telling me you don’t have any clue

AMD cards are not really better than Nvidia cards at anything. That’s not being a “shill”, it’s just the truth. They’re cheaper and easier to find in stock, that’s about it.

Not being able to play games? Not serious? What the hell are you talking about? Did you compare a 3090 to a bottom tier ATI Radeon card or something? My RX 6800 was a fucking champ that was able to run everything I threw at it without a single problem and with quite satisfactory performance at 1440p. It was most definitely a very competent GPU for gaming.
ML and nvenc are extra features that not everyone needs or even wants.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Maybe I’m misinformed, but can the RX 6800 do Path Tracing in CP2077 at 1440p/~30fps or at least on DLSS Quality?
lordbritishbusiness@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
A RX 6800? Yes, in fact I was playing CP2077 with FSR and ray tracing on at 4K on a 6800. It was the first real card AMD had that could. Though it did struggle at times.
Sadly replaced after 4 years with a RX9060 of similar capability but better Ray tracing.
AMD cards are only about 2-3 years behind NVIDIA in a lot of specialised tasks, but trying to pace the behemoth that is NVIDIA’s RnD with a much smaller budget. ROCm works but is held up by compatibility issues with the newer CUDA features.

Ray tracing? No no, I said Path Tracing.
