@verita84 well, if it somehow didn't suck balls before, it's definitely gonna not just suck balls, but swallow them entirely now :ryukofuckedup:
@lina

Maybe it's good I went with Radeon for new desktop lol
@verita84 proprietary nvidia driver for years for me tbh, i'm not too keen on getting rid of my nvidia gpu if it works properly thus far
@lina

Yeah, GPU's are too expensive to just chuck
@verita84 yea, i'd personally just shelf it away as a backup if i had to buy an AMD GPU, but i personally don't think it's worth spending more money on another GPU when the one i have right now works
@lina

I am new to the GPU scene. Why choose NVIDIA over ATI?


Both play games well
Both support Stable Diffusion

ATI works out of the box without installing proprietary drivers. Open Source drivers are actually preferred.
@verita84 i chose nvidia because it's what i had all the time and because i never cared about hardware specific like that on linux, so when i got a new one, i bought a used 1060 instead of an AMD

@lina @verita84 I've always gone Nvidia because amd is routinely bad for emulation, and Nvidia cards are more than just raw performance. Even though amd has upscaling and will soon have frame generation, it isn't and won't ever be as good as what Nvidia has. In terms of raw performance, amd has it nailed, but they still manage to feel a generation behind Nvidia all the time.

@lina @verita84 I mean have you seen this Remix shit Nvidia has in the works?? Adding in RT and new models/textures to old games on the fly without needing to actually mod them. It's crazy. They released a trailer for an upcoming HL2 project that illustrates the concept really well.

@beardalaxy @verita84 sounds like i'll never see that in practice because i've never had a top of the shelf GPU ever as far as i'm aware
