they can get fucked with those prices, along with the fat fuck with the skinny jackets. tech is supposed to get better and cheaper at the same time.
RX 570, a midrange GPU, was introed at $170 in 2017. almost a decade later, midrange starts at $600? gtfo.
The one thing though... There's room left for performance optimizations. The main downside of my initial Linux testing was that the performance wasn't as great as what's been reported under Windows 11 with the official Radeon Windows driver.
I'd love to see some actual numbers. I'm considering getting one for myself, but I'm unsure about how they will perform for the first couple of months until we get proper support
Also, concerning the quotation: Isn't that always how AMD has functioned? Release a card that on paper should perform well but in reality takes a year to mature due to ongoing driver development?
They really need to fix that.
I recon linux drivers need still some improvement. If I recall correctly there is some underway for 6.14 and 15
Compared to Windows, definitely a fair way to go optimisation wise. Still, great to see they're already supported in mainline
What's wrong with GTA V? The RTX 3080 fares better than the RX 9070 XT. The 9070 performances are also all over the place in Quake II RTX.
Yeah there's definitely some oddities there, like Cyberpunk not working at all
