The Best GPU for Every Price Point

[Disiw]

Truth is, that AMD's FSR is thee Gaming Industry Standard and doesn't require proprietary $800+ hardware to work.

Matter of fact, FSR runs on the 1080ti as good as the 2080ti... where you need upscaling the most (old, low-end GPUs)... when NVidia themselves don't even offer their older customers upscaling. (DLSS is just for the people who are lost on marketing.)

As the Gaming Industry moves forward, AMD's FSR3.1 will be an even bigger role..! (see GDC 2024)


People who PAY extra for upscaling are thee laughing stock of the gaming industry... why buy a new card for upscaling...? It doesn't make sense, when you old card can upscale for free.

You buy a new card to get away from upscaling.

FSR is not the standard at all. DLSS has far more support and is in 500+ games at this point.

FSR has tons of smearing, ghosting, artifacts and jitter when moving. FSR can look "decent" in still shots, but when you move, this is where DLSS shines. DLSS is simply much better.

FSR is so bad that Sony invented PSSR for PS5 Pro and it looks like they beat FSR easily according to rumours. Why would they spend R&D money on developing PSSR if FSR is good? Because it is not.

Why do you think AMD wants to revamp FSR completely using AI approach? Even AMD knows FSR is mediocre and they can't improve it further, without re-building from ground up - https://www.techpowerup.com/319902/amd-working-on-an-ai-powered-fsr-upscaling-algorithm


DLSS/DLAA is much better than FSR. Techspot tested this. Techpowerup tested this. Tons of people did FSR vs DLSS testing and DLSS wins easily.

FSR is terrible in most games, even losing to XeSS in most - https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-fsr-vs-xess/

Also DLSS is much better, because it runs on a single dll, which can easily be replaced with another version.

You have zero experience with DLSS/DLAA I see. I want DLSS support so I can use DLAA. The best AA by far today. If you think otherwise, you know nothing about it.

1080 Ti is slow as dirt today. FSR is not saving that dated card.

DLSS can easily look better than native, again you have no experience with it at all - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/outriders-dlss-performance

4K native looks worse than 4K with DLSS here. It does that in tons of games, because DLSS have sharpening and AA built in. DLAA would look much better and sh1t on native.

The fact you think Upscaling is all about upping performance, tells me you know absolutely nothing about it. The future is upscaling. Pretty much every game developers embraced it and PS5 Pro will rely on PSSR which is DLSS-like upscaling as well.

More and more games comes with upscaling enabled as default and even lack 3rd party AA options.

With sharpening and AA built in, upscaling beats native easily. No need for crappy AA on top of native.

AMD users hate upscaling because FSR is so bad. Nvidia users love it and can always just use DLAA instead, which will beat native with absolute ease 10 out of 10 times.

Dude, if you think the Gaming Industry revolves around PC-Gaming... and that Game Developers don't design their games first for RDNA Consoles, then port them ovr is hilarious.

Mobile..? (as in SteamDeck, etc..) all RDNA..!


DLSS is only matters to fanbois who wouldn't know the difference in what upscaling they are using, only so long as it was nvidia's. Right?

You once again fail to realize nobody cares about how good dlss can be (it is a crutch for those who can't afford a new GPU and meant to be used on older cards), if their video card doesn't use it. Everyone can use FSR, including phones, consoles, handhelds, etc... thus it is universal.

None of those 500+ games support dlss on PS5 or Xbox. They support FSR. (ie: Industry Standard)

DLSS beats FSR every single time according to Techpowerup and Techspot also did a comparison, DLSS won easily.

The fact you think PC platform is not a focus from game dev's is just too funny.

Once again you show you have zero experience with DLSS/DLAA or any high-end Nvidia product. Because you use AMD and don't know better. FSR is mediocre and even worse than XeSS.

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Radeon GPU? Don't use FSR, try XeSS instead

XeSS upscaling makes for a prettier picture.

Truth hurts I know.

AMD is going to revamp FSR completely for a reason. It's inferior in every way.

Sony did their own upscaler, PSSR, because FSR was too bad. Will be official in a few months when PS5 Pro event happens.

Obviously consoles don't support DLSS when using inferior AMD hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 will use DLSS. And Switch 1 is soon the best selling console in the world.

Go read some truths:

GPU sales are on the up but AMD's RX 7000-series graphics cards are its least competitive in 20 years

Though it's worth noting overall more than 2.3 billion graphics cards have been sold since 2000, worth a staggering $482 billion.

AMD GPU resell value is low for a reason. Very low demand. 9 out of 10 want Nvidia only.

AMD uses more power, has worse drivers, worse features and much lower resell value. The money you save, are gone when you sell it. That is reality for you.

You're funny... Where to start... How about:

- Stop buying £1000+ RTX GPU's that still need the up-scaler to get playable FPS, masking the piss-poor optimisation from the dev.
- DLSS is proven to look better than a native 4K render? Oh do tell me more.
- AMD users haven't seen DLAA so don't know any better? It's an edge adaptive super-sampler, that's all. AMD Radeon's have FidelityFX CAS that can also be enabled at a driver level if the game doesn't support it. Looks great, does the exact same thing.
- I don't personally buy a GPU for it's resale value. I buy it for what it can do and how long it will last me until I need a faster model.
- Unlike the braindead 99% generation of gamers in the generation beneath me (Who on my discord have remark a few times "What's a Radeon?"), I am at least aware there's options and will cross check independent benchmark data across various sources before basing my purchase decision. I'm currently on a Radeon 6950XT, that someone else ridicule above (because it's a terrible GPU apparently). At the time I bought it, it was £900 almost 2 years ago. It outperforms the RTX 3090/Ti in almost every single game out there and was a great deal cheaper. Why on earth would I have bought the more expensive and slower card at the time, exactly?

And as for the articles you linked, LOL:
- PC Gamer article says in the headline Radeon 7000 is the least competitive, but the entire article talks about how it's a low volume item in terms of sales - That's not the same thing. It doesn't mention performance anywhere, because if it did you'll see the two highest end Radeons are almost like for like as quick as the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080.
- Driver bricking article is old and was a storm in a teacup, as total users affected was not only incredibly small, it was a later Windows patch that addressed the issue with UEFI Secure Boot rather than AMD needing to change anything in their drivers.
- Driver ban on the steam forums for forcing on FSR at a driver level, I just LOL. The guy was banned many months after AMD released the fix, and anyone using the driver release that caused the problem has had their bans reversed. The OP of that thread is basically lying as to why he got banned.

Hahaha. What are joker you are. Acting like AMD is doing well in the GPU market.

CAS looks worse than DLAA. Tried both. DLAA does everything DLSS does, but a native, means superior AA and sharpening built in. CAS is just sharpening. You can use Sharpening directly in the Nvidia App as well if a game don't support DLAA. Nvidia App has tons of filters for pretty much all games.

Every single AMD feature is worse than Nvidias. All they do is copy/paste. AMD invented NOTHING in the last many generations.

6950XT is mediocre and just an overclocked 6900XT that consumes tons of power and power spikes are insane too, 6800XT and 6900 series had this hue problem that AMD fixed on 7000 series

Proof - https://tpucdn.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-super-founders-edition/images/power-spikes.png

You can act like AMD is better but they are doing worse than ever.

More and more games include RT elements, Avatar inluded (AMD sponsored which is funny)

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Performance Benchmark Review - 30+ GPUs Tested

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features stunning visuals that recreate the movie franchise's unique universe. There's also support for AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation and NVIDIA DLSS. In our performance review, we're taking a closer look at image quality, VRAM usage, and performance on a wide selection...

www.techpowerup.com

AMD will loose more and more marketshare if they don't wake up soon. FSR needs to improved badly. RT performance is mediocre at best and most/all of their features are pretty much crap. And their drivers bricked windows install and systems several times in the last 12-18 months: https://www.techradar.com/news/amd-drivers-are-bricking-windows-11-systemsagain

Add in the extra power and lower resell value and you save NOTHING buying AMD. This is why 9 out of 10 buys Nvidia at this point. Much better overall experience, especially in lesser popular titles, early access games and using emulators. Also Nvidia features are FAR SUPERIOR which only an AMD fanboy would disagree with.

Luckily both Techpowerup and Techspot tested FSR vs DLSS and DLSS won easily.

AMD don't have the R&D funds to deliver good features. GPUs are not a priority for them. They focus on CPUs and APUs mostly. Why? Because this is where they acually earn money.

RDNA4 won't even have a high-end SKUs, focus is on regaining lost marketshare. And hopefully big improvements to FSR which is the worst upscaler today.

Meaning AMD won't be able to touch 4090 performance till 2026+ with RDNA5, more than 4 years after 4090 launch and 5090 and 5080 will be out this year. AMD has lost the high-end segment completely at this point. However AMD don't care much as high-end segment is a niche market for AMD. 9 out of 10 people with money to buy a high-end GPU is buying Nvidia. Wonder why.

Perhaps I need to completely dumb it down for you. I didn't once say AMD were doing well for a start, especially in the GPU division - But you linked that article again that's so BS it's almost funny.

The heading states: "AMD RX 7000 series is AMD's most uncompetitive launch in 20 years". Only it doesn't talk at all about performance, or how it stacks against competition. It simply concludes: "Nobody is buying them, it's terrible."

This sites own publication as I mentioned right on page one actually says the same, albeit unlike you they correctly point out that the RX 7900 XT largely outperforms the RTX 4070 Ti and the RX 7900XTX largely outperforms the RTX 4080/Super. The absolute kicker is while they say it's the faster card, it's recommended to spend the £200-300 extra to get DLSS.

Leading me nicely onto your entire rant about how great DLSS and DLAA are. If they're worth the £300 upsell over something from AMD that's similar in performance then good for you.

You wont find me wanting a £1000 RTX 4080 and then playing everything at 1080P upscaled to 4K with DLSS. I see value in upscale tech on weaker hardware to a point, but how we've become to bloody brainwashed into it being a must have is lame.

I don't buy a card for upscale tech and software tomfoolery to generate fake FPS numbers. Sound's like your Nvidia's ideal customer though.

As for the RX 6950XT being a bad GPU - You said it's got a power draw problem and runs too hot? LOL it's 2 years old, but I'll say yet again when it come out it performed around RTX 3090/Ti territory for almost half the price. It consumed similar power use to a 3090/Ti, with similar thermals too. It was no better or worse than Nvidia's flagships that you are happy to ignore entirely where power and heat are concerned, but it was a heck of a lot cheaper and outperform it.

You love comparing the 2 year old card to todays RTX cards, and no surprise newer cards are better in power efficiency. Colour me surprised, but look at performance benches over at say TechPowerUp and you'll see the RX 6950XT is still trading blows with the 7900 XT and RTX 4070 Ti.

Must be a terrible card that, what on earth was AMD thinking making something so quick 2 years ago.

It does not outperm those cards unless you pick dated games which rely 100% on raster perf.

Also, DLSS, DLAA, DLDSR, Reflex, Shadowplay and pretty much every other feature you can think of is superior than what AMD offers. Why? Because AMD did a fast copy/paste and nothing else. They don't have the R&D funds to compete in the GPU market.

AMD is mainly about CPUs and APUs. Nvidia dominates in the GPU segment because they have full focus on GPUs. AMD will never be able to beat Nvidia. Especially not now, with Nvidias AI billions.

AMD used 7nm TSMC for 6900XT and still was not able to beat 3090 which used 10nm Samsung node, worse than 12nm TSMC in reality. That is how far AMD is behind.


Nvida completely slapped AMD in the face with 4090 when tables turned and Nvidia used 4nm TSMC.

6950XT is nothing but an overclocked 6900XT, Identical chip and both 7900XT and 4070 TI beats it.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition Review - Savings of $200

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 4080 Super introduces a noteworthy $200 price reduction compared to the non-Super 4080, placing significant pricing pressure on AMD's RX 7900 XTX. Despite this, the performance gains vs RTX 4080 non-Super are only marginal, we expected more.

www.techpowerup.com

Even 4070 SUPER beats 6900XT in raster, while using half the power and while having WAY BETTER features and RT perf.

The fact you think 6950XT beats 7900XT tells me you own 6950XT because thats not true at all. 7900XT beats 6900XT with ease in 99% of new games and 7900XT can be overclocked as well, meaning that 6950XT don't matter since chip is identical to 6900XT just with higher powerdraw.

Both 3090 Ti and 6950XT was a failure that launched deep into last generation.

Resell value of AMD hardware is much much lower than Nvidia hardware, the money you "save" are lost when you sell it. And this is why 9 out of 10 people are smart enough to NOT save 100 dollars by going AMD. AMD needs much lower prices to lure people in. Hence their marketshare is falling and falling.

GPU sales are on the up but AMD's RX 7000-series graphics cards are its least competitive in 20 years

Though it's worth noting overall more than 2.3 billion graphics cards have been sold since 2000, worth a staggering $482 billion.

Even 7900 GRE and 4070 SUPER beats 6900XT:

https://tpucdn.com/review/asus-radeon-rx-7900-gre-tuf/images/relative-performance-2560-1440.png

6900XT performs like a 7800XT, just with much higher powerdraw. That is reality for you.

And in new games, 7000 series is pulling more and more ahead of 6000 series.

NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 4080 Super introduces a noteworthy $200 price reduction compared to the non-Super 4080, placing significant pricing pressure on AMD's RX 7900 XTX. Despite this, the performance gains vs RTX 4080 non-Super are only marginal, we expected more.

Even 4070 SUPER beats 6900XT in raster, while using half the power and while having WAY BETTER features and RT perf.

The fact you think 6950XT beats 7900XT tells me you own 6950XT because thats not true at all. 7900XT beats 6900XT with ease in 99% of new games and 7900XT can be overclocked as well, meaning that 6950XT don't matter since chip is identical to 6900XT just with higher powerdraw.

Both 3090 Ti and 6950XT was a failure that launched deep into last generation.

Resell value of AMD hardware is much much lower than Nvidia hardware, the money you "save" are lost when you sell it. And this is why 9 out of 10 people are smart enough to NOT save 100 dollars by going AMD. AMD needs much lower prices to lure people in. Hence their marketshare is falling and falling.

GPU sales are on the up but AMD's RX 7000-series graphics cards are its least competitive in 20 years

Though it's worth noting overall more than 2.3 billion graphics cards have been sold since 2000, worth a staggering $482 billion.

Even 7900 GRE and 4070 SUPER beats 6900XT:

6900XT performs like a 7800XT, just with much higher powerdraw. That is reality for you.

And in new games, 7000 series is pulling more and more ahead of 6000 series.

What the actual f*** is your problem, are you on Nvidia's payroll or something? Listen to that complete drivel you're posting. You've lovingly told me over and over my card is only fast in really old titles, how it's a failure and weak/slow, uses too much power, and keep bringing up how amazing the 4090 is, and how we must use DLSS, DLAA and RT and let's not forget resale value. Radeons tank? LMAO, go ask anyone who bought an RTX 3080, 3090 or 3090Ti how they feel today! Did I ask tho? No. Does the 6950 XT get compared to a 4090 because it's a competitor? No.

You must be a Gen Z. You also keep comparing everything to the 6900 XT, failing to understand the 6950 XT's got faster RAM's on board and can clock a dam site higher than the 6900 XT. Various outlets, including TPU state the 6950 maintains around 6-7% advantage at 4K over 6900 XT.

Mine is self overclocking to an in-game core of 2605-2650 all by itself, and thats significantly above it's base clock. Runs at about 75-80C under load, reported power draw by Radeon overlay is always around 345W to 368W. What a terrible chip. /s

Here's my imaginary 6950 XT by the way and I've also blocked you:

DLSS beats FSR every single time according to Techpowerup and Techspot also did a comparison, DLSS won easily.

The fact you think PC platform is not a focus from game dev's is just too funny.

Once again you show you have zero experience with DLSS/DLAA or any high-end Nvidia product. Because you use AMD and don't know better. FSR is mediocre and even worse than XeSS.

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Radeon GPU? Don't use FSR, try XeSS instead

XeSS upscaling makes for a prettier picture.

www.pcgamer.com

Truth hurts I know.

AMD is going to revamp FSR completely for a reason. It's inferior in every way.

Sony did their own upscaler, PSSR, because FSR was too bad. Will be official in a few months when PS5 Pro event happens.

Obviously consoles don't support DLSS when using inferior AMD hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 will use DLSS. And Switch 1 is soon the best selling console in the world.

Go read some truths:

AMD's newest Radeon GPU drivers are driving users to distraction

AMD ANTI-LAG+ BAN STILL NO REVERSE :: VAC Discussion

AMD GPU resell value is low for a reason. Very low demand. 9 out of 10 want Nvidia only.

AMD uses more power, has worse drivers, worse features and much lower resell value. The money you save, are gone when you sell it. That is reality for you.

It's a weird take you have, thinking that Nvidia makes games... & not game Developers.

And once again, upscaling is for budget systems and older GPUs, nobody buying a new GPU today should care about upscaling.

The argument is not which upscaling is better..? (Upscaling is a crutch)
It is which upscaling technology is the most open and works on all platforms & hardware.

AMD's FSR has the Industry covered, even older GTX NVidia owners, unlike proprietary tech from NV requiring the latest PC hardware for a handful of games.


Secondly, RDNA is in everything and you are still holding on to the EGVA days. CUDA is dead in gaming and it's why NVidia cards are just Enterprise knock-offs, not actual Gamer derived architecture like RDNA. Coming from a multi-evga user the RDNA writings been on the wall for a long time. NVidia is trying to rewrite GFE to be more like the multi-threaded like AMD's Adrenaline.

That is why NVidia had to pay game developer to use their proprietary RTX technologies.

Nah upscaling is for everyone, when it actually works well, meaning FSR not included.

Outriders' DLSS does a lot more than just improve performance

Outriders' DLSS options don't just improve your graphics card's performance; it also adds in extra details that are missing when playing at native resolution.

www.rockpapershotgun.com

DLSS improves visuals and details here. Easily. DLAA does it every single time, vastly better looking than native with crappy AA on top.

Upscaling is here to stay. It will replace AA completely going forward. Developers embranced it. PS5 Pro will rely heavily on upscaling (PSSR, which beats FSR easily).

AMD has nothing covered with FSR, since it is so bad. Needs a complete revamp. DLSS is leagues better, years ahead. Even XeSS beats FSR in terms of visual quality.

Nvidia sits at 80-85% dGPU gaming marketshare and you think they struggle? Hahahah. Good one.

Nvidia is a top 3 company world right now. They are kings in cloud gaming, gaming GPUs, enterprise and AI. AMD is not even close in any sector. Why? Because they are a CPU company first and foremost. GPUs are a second thought and their R&D funds are low for this market.

Nvidia drivers and Nvidia App is way better than what AMD offers.

DLSS is in WAY MORE GAMES than FSR. 500+ RTX games at this point.

AMD is cheaper for a reason, and STILL don't sell. Wonder why.

Reality hurts I see. Don't be mad.

It's a fact that Nvidia features are HIGHLY SUPERIOR to any of AMDs features. Why? Because AMD did nothing but copy/paste Nvidia features for the last many generations and every single of them are WORSE than Nvidia's. AMDs has 1/100 of the R&D budget.

AMD spends most of their R&D money on CPUs and APUs, not GPUs, since its a niche market for AMD. That is reality for you.

6950XT is the exact same chip as 6900XT, Navi 21. They just clocked the memory slightly higher and nothing else. You can hit same memory speed with 6900XT.

6950XT is 5% faster than 6900XT and when you OC both, they end up around the same speed. Who cares about last gen cards tho.

Again, you are being openly obtuse and blatantly in denial and will go on harping about proprietary dlss.. in which only 9% if the gaming community can use.

So, nobody cares about CUDA or DLSS they are a proprietary hoax (in the gaming world), when even consoles can do upscaling. And if you happen to buy a AMD dGPU then you get even better FSR upscaling. No upselling.

Nobody who ownz a 1080ti is loving dlss... stop clowning yourself. But they do love FSR...



And yes you are correct, NVidia is no longer a gaming Company and they no longer make game-specific architecture like RDNA. They use hand-me-down enterprise architecture and try to down-market it to high-end gamers.

But we all know that 80% of all the pallets of 3090's & 4090's went to content creators/enterprise who didn't want to spend $3,300 on a Pro card.


RDNA is in everything to do with gaming... times have changed.
