I still have that one in the closet somewhere haha...legendary cardYeah early 2000 9800pro the GOAT
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO Specs
ATI R350, 380 MHz, 8 Pixel Shaders, 4 Vertex Shaders, 8 TMUs, 8 ROPs, 128 MB DDR2, 340 MHz, 256 bitwww.techpowerup.com
I'd say if you are on a 2060 GPU or above at sub 4k you can probably skip this gen. Raytracing is hardly noticeable outside of very few games. Like maybe 2-3 where it makes a tangible difference.
If I was getting a 4k card today I'd go AMD for the large VRAM pool for the same money. Again mostly because raytracing is a waste.

AMD’s ray tracing is good, but I don’t know why they’d make this video when Nvidia’s equal cards are better in performance. Well, with the exception of Unreal 5’s Lumen which could make things interesting.
Play to your strengths like VRAM and Rasterization. Show off your superior control panel.
If I were AMD I’d be taking the old school Sega approach of painting Jensen’s followers as sheep. Show them turning down texture settings and encountering more stuttering. Needing to crank up the fake frames to make games playable. Paint them as schmucks.

All jokes aside, they've definitely made big gains in this area. Once they erase most of Nvidia's faux frames advantage things will look even better for them. If they can advance at this same pace moving to the 8000 series they might start to catch up.

heyyyy had one of those, what a beast.My last Radeon card
This demo was insane at the time.

How did it go for Sega?
Sponsor a game that has 6.2 GB of VRAM at 1080p for low textures and looks worse than games that used 256MB VRAM a few years ago. But you need >8GB!, clearly look at this!
Should go well for AMD.
Always pushing visuals, AyyMD™
We're all salivating for their next sponsored games
Meanwhile, 6.2GB VRAM @ 4k ultra settings

Naughty Dog’s crap isn’t AMD’s fault. Coincidentally you’re showing off a game that also runs better on AMD GPUs.
If I were AMD I’d absolutely be demanding that VRAM was pushed bigtime in all of my sponsored games. Making Nvidia look inferior with their low VRAM would be a wise business decision.

Right, rasterized. Not sure what your point is. Game looks gorgeous, has reasonable VRAM usage. AMD’s marketing around VRAM using TLOU as a reference? They’re high as fuck.
AMD runs plaque tale faster in rasterization, good for them
I’m pointing out that their sponsored games have been a fucking mess so far. They somehow all align with AMD for the worst PC ports, how peculiar.

These aren’t sports teams. I’m not going to argue it’s not fair that your team is losing to my team in sponsored games. Optimizing for the company’s GPU line is arguably the reason to sponsor in the first place right?
I can’t help it if AMD sponsored games always trounce Nvidia in performance. Especially Ubi’s games.
Naughty Dog’s game is shit regardless of what GPU is in your rig.
If anything instead of excusing Nvidia for giving the bare minimum of VRAM that literally everyone is telling you will be a problem in the next year or two - get mad at Jensen! You should be demanding more value for your money from Nvidia, not getting mad about AMD. These aren’t sports teams! I swear Nvidia fans are their own worst enemy.
If Nvidia rolls out a 5070 with 16GB of VRAM then that’s a win for everyone. Stop excusing them like 8GB should be enough. In the real world that’s not always going to be the case anymore.

It’s like having a full wallet of money. How much you need? 14GBs? Here, keep the change.
Meanwhile the 8GB Nvidia cards

Architecturally, their one core for everything approach is good. But the problem is that they are focusing on adding more cores, cache, or increasing clocks instead of making the individual core more advanced.
We are now at a point where raster performance is not the limiting factor in any GPU but its RT performance. Hence, no matter how good their GPUs are, once doing an RT workload, they get crippled.

You can keep both dlss and fsr .. I’ll lower settings first.
