depends of the implementation
control is doing a great job at it but you either need a powerful card or have to go from ultra to high

Are AMD's drivers still shit? Apart from ray tracing that's the only thing holding me back.
Wyatt Campbell
shit for older games, usually fine for more recent titles.

I mean more generally. I had booting issues for a long time with my 2200G no GPU setup on Linux for a long time until it finally got patched. Don't really want to see something like that again.

Only notable HPC win for Intel I can find in 2019 is for the Department of Energy. Meanwhile Cray has turned to AMD for all their new supercomputers. China, Europe, HPC all over the world has dumped Intel.
That DoE contact is not only the other one I could find in google, it's also the only one mentioned in this article compared to multiple new AMD HPC contracts.
Do you read the industry news at all, or do you just assume shit all day long because facts would destroy your fragile view?
Yes it's unit share, aka the share of units occupied overall. So if the number of server growth or displacement is 1% in a quarter, and AMD's unit share increases by almost 1%, nearly all the servers are AMD. You think they replace all the servers in the entire world every quarter? There's HPC servers from a decade ago still running.
You are the one conflating it with unit market share, aka the percentage of market sales for the quarter.
You absolute idiot.
ray tracing is the future but by the time it catches on in ~2023 the 2080Ti won't even run the games at 10FPS and the 2060 will struggle for 1FPS.
Obviously get the 5700.
AMD drivers were better than Nvidia's since late 2016.
It's just that new beta drivers for new architectures are always bad for each company. Nvidia's drivers were absolute shit and had many major issues after the RTX launch for months as well. They'll be sorted out, and are usable at the moment.

>Is ray tracing a meme?
I enjoyed it in Control. It's a clearly a personal choice, but I wouldn't spend that much money on a graphics card without raytracing
I averaged a fairly steady 45FPS with full ray tracing in Control using a 2060 6GB, which was fine since I was using a controller. Obviously you won't be using ray tracing in any competitive games

2700 or 2700x? Both from microcenter . X is 20 dollars more only @ 190usd. Or should I just go for the 3600?
Daniel Foster
not really
i'm in the process of debunking these myth about amd having poor driver support for older games and so far the only thing that was confirmed on both ends is that kotor1 doesn't allow you to select "frame buffer" or "soft shadows" in the display settings
it's not a deal breaker
although on my 5700xt i had font glitches in witcher 1 that made the game unplayable so ask around for someone to confirm it on their end for 5700xt
Brayden Jackson
Seriously?
Shit already bought a 3700x and been waiting forever for 5700xt availability.
How about red devil 5700 non xt and a 3700x?
Kevin Ward
Id get the 2700x IF you will keep the cooler it comes with
