What the title says. I can tolerate rather old cards that still constitute a decent upgrade, such as the better 20xx series or amd equivalents and what not. I will buy the proper psu to feed it before I actually buy the card.

AMD for drivers

Intel to (potentially) save money

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

do you plan on using linux? if yes, then dont buy nvidia.

If you plan on using you GPU at all currently don't buy Nvidia, the drivers are a mess and they've been blackmailing reviewers.

Ahh I think that's what borked my system a few days ago. Corrupted postfix service and I had to spend an evening finding out how to re-install it and the driver, which I ended up having to reinstall twice.

my nvidia gtx 960 (2015, closed driver, open is not complete) gets 35fps in counterstrike 2 and my amd hd 7750 (2012, open driver) too 35fps! xD fuck nvidia (linux bazzite)

Holy shit I used to own both of these, 7 years ago

[-] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

I have done the math and it was more like 11 years ago

[-] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

i know a local computer shop, he gifted the 960 to me and the 7750 i found in his archive. lol :) they are now in my main pc. i can play most games, on low obviously but im happy. i dont game much anymore so i havent yet bought a new gpu or pc.

Possibly, yes. Are the drivers that hard to get working? Also does that relate to the whole raytracing ai, blur and or ghosting artifacts?

I think 'themoonisacheese' meant to reply to you. They're Just a shitty company overall.

At this point you'll be paying 2 times as much for a 2080 Ti vs a $300 9060XT to get worse performance and spend more energy. It is a 7 year old architecture afterall.

I mean, do what want, no judgements here. The 2080 Ti was kind of a beast and it's impressive that it can run stuff as well as it does, but it's also at the level a lot of people would start considering an update. I'd get a newer AMD card with 16GB of RAM

I just replaced my 1060 with a 6700XT And have no complaints, price was good and the card runs all my stuff fine.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a decent amount of vram.

What CPU do you have? Chances are, the age of your CPU will limit how much newer you can go for a gfx card. I've been using a Radeon 6950XT for about a year now, and it's been excellent without breaking the bank. Right now, the 9070XT is the new hotness, matching the performance of the RTX 5070 TI / 4080 super at a lower price.

Ryzen 5 3600xt on a prime b550m-a mobo. Are radeon cards exempt from those ai artifacts and weird ghosting/blurring?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Your CPU is close to the age of mine. I have an Intel 9900KF. A Radeon 6900XT or 6950XT would be very compatible and a large jump without bottlenecking.

AI artifacts are going to usually come from frame generation, while blurring and ghosting tend to come from TAA. AMD doesn't have any AI-speciqfic Chipsets built into their cards, as far as I know.
