Seems like Nvidia really botched the launch on the drivers-side of things (not even to mention the supply woes). If AMD takes more time and thus provides good stable drivers at launch along with adequate supply, they could really improve their brand image.

AMD's record in past years is fumbling the ball when given a great opportunity, so yes, here's to hoping consumers will have an extremely viable alternative to the market leader.

Oh and hey, wait, where's the "AMD drivers suck" village people?? Probably shouldn't try to use this as a talking point now, lol.

 

[Mr Majestyk]

Just let them be reviewed already. You already know how poorly the 4070 5070 will perform and the pricing, what are you waiting for???

The two cards Nvidia has released are not competing with anything from AMD, so it doesn't really matter. 70ti is launching February 20th, and 70 is supposed to be released this month too. Those are the 2 releases Nvidia needs to do better with to counter RDNA4.

Well, although those are not released yet, the chips and the specs are long set, they can’t do anything to compete with one another at this point, given how poorly the 5080 performs the 9070XT likely set it’s target too high during the marketing segment phase, now likely they will have a considerable lead compared to the 5070Ti, only thing they need to do are to have adequate supply and not last minute upping its price to miss the opportunity again

Amd can take as much time as it needs solid drivers is key no more fine wine crap take there time I'd gladly wait till may if it means bug free drivers.

I've owned 3 amd cards and my last was rDNA 2 6700xt good raster but kept crashing on just desktop doing nothing spent more time diagnosing driver bugs then actually gaming.

I own an RX 6700 XT that I bought used, from a batch of mining cards. Works flawlessly. You probably had a bad card, incompatibility somewhere or bad luck. No card would ever be sold crashing on the desktop.

Brand new out the box wasn't cards actual fault what it was a driver issue Radeon bugs. Glad yours worked flawlessly as I said I've owned 3 Radeon cards all had either a bug with drivers that I just wasn't going to spend half a week diagnosing.

Did fresh driver installs etc the same thing kept happening.

Again my issue is with amd driver support from back when I bought the card. I also got the card replaced same issue tried different pc same issue.

Never had a issue with any of my Nvidia cards.

It's possible there driver side has improved but from what I've dealt with thus far I won't hold my breath.

I'm hoping they are focusing on drivers.

Actually my gigabyte 3070ti was bought brand new upon release and it got serious artefacts, thought it was bad ram but the exchange sealed new card behaved the same. It only self fixed after a few driver updates. My exp is that in recent years the drivers are just the same quality, depending on your luck

Well I can agree that all cards at launch drivers just suck. My issue with the 6700xt I had was it already had 4 driver updates and was still broken. They still never really fixed direct x9 I believe on any rdna cards though unless there's been a magic update I missed.

I didn’t use any rdna myself so can’t speak of that, likely will go for 9070xt if they didn’t mess up the price or performance though.

The thing is that the issues IME for decades (prior to the 3070ti I was using a Sandy bridge i7-2600k with a R9-290X) the driver quality are similar for most of the parts, no idea of DX9 as I don’t play any DX9 games for a long time

Honestly I think rDNA 4 is what rDNA should have been from the start so I'm hoping I'm right that the drivers are flawless.

And direct x 9 was a issue on Nvidia and AMD something to do with anti aliasing not working right which I can confirm with rDNA just didn't bother with a fix just a brute force in adrenaline driver which works with some not on others. Is it a deal breaker ? Yes and no depends on the individual. I do know it works fine on Nvidia tech they did a work around.

R9 290x was a good card granted it was a space heater.

Hell I still have gcn cards that I still use was annoyed when and dropped support for them. I understand the older gcn but people that own a rx 580 rx 470 got done dirty. Especially since gcn is still used in alot of apu laptops.

I think so back in the day, but then now since the RPL and 3070Ti I redefined my dictionary of space heater...

Now I do think the RDNA4 performance wise would be kind of ok as the cut down by leather Jenson is too big it surprised everyone, and their 9070 name just likely will perform more like 5080 than 5070. But beside my soft side for AMD(ATi) graphics card (My first discrete GPU from saving up my part time job when I was 12) was a 9700 pro, given the disasterous review for the 5080, I kinda feel they will get too self confident and mess up yet another round of pricing...
