Bloopsy posted:The bots are picking off cards just as quick if not quicker. Fauxtool is literally running a bot to buy cards from Amazon now and he's still only gotten two 3080s I think? Average humans trying to use the websites by hand have literally zero chance, nada, zilch. Your current options for getting one at MSRP or close to it are: camp out at a microcenter for a week, or have gotten on the correct EVGA queue several months ago. Or get one from fauxtool, who is offering a better deal than any of my local computer stores even when they have stock lol. That's it. Everything else is hosed

mA posted:TBH, none of that really matters right now. Whichever card you can get without paying the 2x-3x resale tax is the right answer. when the next mining boom hits in another 3 years you'll probably be able to sell your 3090 for $2000 again (I mean a 1080 Ti is selling for more than when it was new...)

The resale market on Radeons isn't nearly as bad as the RTX cards. If you are willing to settle for one to just be done card shopping and hope things get better in the next few years, I would say it's an option.

I primarily play warzone and will be playing whatever new battlefield that comes out. Am I missing out on much with no raytracing and no dlss? I'm like a week into trying to get an RTX cars and already want to give up lmao The system I'm building will have the Ryzen 5 5600X and my current computers 1070. I play on an ultrawide at 1440p on 100Hz. Which AMD card should I shoot for? The monitor also happens to have freesync but I've always been an Nvidia guy. Side note.....will I notice much difference in Warzone going from a 7 year old i5-4670k to the 5600x system but with the same video card(1070)? I have some serious frame rate dips right now and I'm not smart enough to know if it is a cpu bottleneck or GPU.

You're going to want as many frames and lack of input latency as possible (so no RTX and no DLSS) and B. You're not really going to be noticing those effects

The hell does it mean for an upscaler to be implemented "early in the pipeline"? Upscaling by definition works as a post-process at the very end of the pipeline This reeks of the same bullshit as the DLSS 3.0 "works with any game that uses TAA" rumour

repiv posted:The hell does it mean for an upscaler to be implemented "early in the pipeline"? Upscaling by definition works as a post-process at the very end of the pipeline What? Upscaling is just a transformation that you apply to some pixels. You can do it anywhere in the graphics pipeline. DLSS is an example of an upscaling transformation that occurs early in the pipeline, with some render stages and most post-processing effects applied to the full resolution image. The fact that AMD's solution is integrated earlier is a good sign that it might actually be competitive with DLSS. I wouldn't believe them if they said it was just some magic algorithm that can be tacked on at the end and blow any image up to double its size without losing quality. Lol that it's going to be compatible with Nvidia cards though. I mean that's great for gamers and for Nvidia but it's not super compelling to buy an AMD card when they only use their solution but Nvidia can do both

I'm like a week into trying to get an RTX cars and already want to give up lmao If you can score a 6800xt, it's roughly at the performance level of the RTX 3080, so it'll give you very high FPS on most games at high settings on your setup and last you at lest until the next generation of GPUs. A 6700xt, is also really good and is about equivalent to a RTX 3070 in performance at 1440p. mA fucked around with this message at 23:03 on May 7, 2021 |

DLSS is an example of an upscaling transformation that occurs early in the pipeline, with some render stages and most post-processing effects applied to the full resolution image. I think we have different definitions of early/late in the pipeline, I'd call anything that happens after shading "late" but whatever that's open to interpretation I'll quote what Coreteks says in the video to clarify what I mean quote:It's also going to be implemented early in the pipeline instead of DLSS, which is a bolt-on feature at the end of the pipeline  Regardless of how you define each stage of the pipeline DLSS is as early as it can be, upscaling right after the lighting is calculated, and he suggests that FSR somehow slots in even earlier than that How are you going to upscale an image that hasn't been generated yet? repiv fucked around with this message at 23:39 on May 7, 2021 |

Ah the classic experience of playing a simulator as a too-young child. Mine was Jane’s ATF flight simulator, and never learning how to lock onto targets, so I would try to shoot them down from miles away with “dumb” missiles that never stood a chance of connecting with anything but clouds.

I mean that's great for gamers and for Nvidia but it's not super compelling to buy an AMD card when they only use their solution but Nvidia can do both AMD's existing CAS tech is compatible with NVidia cards, so it's not entirely surprising for this to be the case. Like, I don't know if I believe this Coreteks guy but I've always personally thought that AMD's DLSS competitor is going to trade off visual fidelity/quality in exchange for ease-of-adoption.

I've seen enough cycles of this poo poo before to figure that it'll probably be about this time next year when things settle down. Again if you listen to the manufacturing side of things they're making as many as they normally do. It's all down to a handful of corporations not caring whether they sell 1 card each to 90 guys to 90 cards to just 1 guy, and that's nothing a little extended shaming wouldn't solve.
