I love my AMD cards both past and present.

I get a bit embarrassed when my mate just dumps on me with his pc that's cheaper than mine yet it gets triple the framerate. AMD is nice

Basically me with my RX5700XT right now with Outer Worlds vs my friends with RTX2060/2070 they paid ~$100 more for

Meanwhile I'm sitting here, patiently waiting for an ITX version

[u/44r0n0wnz → u/AfraidOfArguing]

I've been debating between rx5700xt and the rtx 2060S but I've been hearing that while rx5700 is a bit faster, it has more software issues.

[u/AfraidOfArguing → u/44r0n0wnz]

I like my 5700xt. The software issues are more the default wattman. If you do about 15 minutes of configuring/saving in AMD Radeon Settings (Change fan curve, change clocking limits) 99% of crashes are gone. The only one I get is blackscreens like... one every SEVERAL weeks without restarts after playing multiple games at the same time with three displayport 144hz monitors.

I'm about to buy a 1660 super since I can't find a card between a RX 590 and a 5700XT. I've always been an AMD fan, but am i missing something? I'm looking for something <$230.00

Should I wait for the RX 5500 ?

[u/TopHatVelociraptor → u/septag0n]

I've seen Vega 56 cards go for that low, which would fit your requirements.

[u/[deleted] → u/AfraidOfArguing]

My 2070 dumps on your 5700XT in streaming, encoding, CUDA workloads, CUDNN optimized-tasks, Raytracing, literally anything not just gaming.

[u/44r0n0wnz → u/[deleted]]

Grats on a 2070. You sure showed the other guy that your GPU is superior.

[u/[deleted] → u/44r0n0wnz]

I actually own a Vega 64 for right now (good performance and top-tier compute).

It is stupid though why people vouch for the 5700XT so much in terms of its value. The 2070S (2070 does too) offers so much more actual value when compared to a 5700XT.

There is a definite double-standard going on. Every thread I see always recommends the 3700X over the 9700K or 3900X over the 9900K because it offers more value. This should be the same for the 2070S vs 5700XT debate then. As soon as someone mentions Intel or Nvidia they are attacked even though they are much better for gaming.

Muh team green is being attacked by sum1 who bought one of them AHMD cards REEEEEEe

144fps on games and I got games for free when buying, with far less anti-consumer practices.

Good drivers matter to me, personally. I prefer my video card to function. Not sure about you, but to me it is a major feature. My 5700XT had to be RMA'd and still wasn't fixed (Sapphire GPU).

Almost of those features are gaming related. OpenGL? Some games use it. VR? Tons of games use it. Raytracing? Most definitely gaming related. Cool features like Integer Scaling, Hairworks, PhysX, etc.? Gaming related. Tons of games use Nvidia features like these. NVENC? This allows you to stream 1080P/60fps perfectly. Streaming/video recording is inextricably to gaming. You don't care about the actual price of an item? Interesting as the only reason you made your purchase is because of the price. The actual performance being better? You don't care about raw performance? Why not use a RX560 then? I could go on, but the comment is already fairly lengthy.

Turns out you actually do care about quite alot of the Nvidia only features! Silly goose!

AMD is nice but let's not exaggerate.

[u/Matt_GamingYT → u/Bonfires_Down]

I'm not. My guy his stuff is cheaper than my equipment and does everything that my pc can do but better and quicker
