Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 8 months agoA lot of people did this. The GPU market for gaming might have actually shrunk. You would think Nvidia would panic but due to AI chip demand their stock is at an ATH and no company changes course or reevaluates and what they’re doing when shareholders are lining up to suck their dicks, so…no end in sight. Meanwhile AMD doesn’t seem to want to even try to make a play for market share.

Technically AMD does have more market share when you think about all the devices has AMD in them like Playstation, Xbox, steam deck and other handhelds.
But yeah Nvidia doesn’t care about gaming anymore, If I had to pick a GPU today, I would pick AMD because Nvidia 6-8 VRAM isn’t enough and AMD is better on linux.

If you want to do any game streaming though (e.g. on Sunshine/moonlight), Nvidia is still miles ahead.

What are some issues AMD is having there? The sunshine pages show both AMD and Intel support now is I assumed they were gtg

The issue is down to performance, Nvidia performs a LOT better with comparable GPUs between them

I recently experimented with both of those on AWS and they are completely not usable atm. At least not over WAN and with gpu mounted to a device you don’t have compete control over.
Does streaming work any better over LAN?

Nvidia game stream is incredibly robust over the internet. Nothing else even comes close. The latency is incredibly low and the video quality is awesome with almost no compression artifacts like competitors often suffer from. A buddy and I used to stream our home PCs to the office when it was slow and even with both of us streaming at the same time the performance was great.
