More evidence points towards AMD's RDNA2 Big Navi superiority over Nvidia's high-end Ampere RTX 3000 GPUs

Youtuber Moore’s Law Is Dead has recently updated his previous Ampere vs RDNA2 rumor roundup. The latest information comes from unnamed AMD and Nvidia insiders, and the youtuber is confident about the accuracy, but we still recommend a grain of salt here and there. Long story short, it looks like AMD could snag the gaming GPU performance crown from Nvidia this year.

 

Moore’s Law is Dead is reporting that Nvidia’s arrogance in forcing TSMC’s hand is going to cost them the performance crown this year. Apparently, TSMC was not able to meet Nvidia’s production demands and so Nvidia needed to tap Samsung’s 8 nm nodes for most of its gaming GPUs launching this year. Now, Samsung’s 8 nm nodes are mostly improved 10 nm nodes so they are not actually 1 nm behind TSMC, which clearly gives AMD’s RDNA2 GPUs manufactured on the 7 nm EUV process at TSMC the superior position. Therefore, more and more Nvidia insiders are concerned about AMD’s ‘Big Navi” GPUs.

I am honestly excited for an AMD GPU right now, I hope this all becomes a reality.

Haha yeah it is unfortunate timing. Fortunately I am not upgrading my CPU for a while, just no need, so hoping to put resources towards a GPU whether that be Nvidia or AMD....time will tell.

If all this works out and the AMD GPU is superior, I will buy a flagship just to support them, and I don't normally buy flagships if I can help it lol.

I've been saying I was going to look for a used 20XX card late in the year after new hardware comes out and old prices drop hopefully, but if AMD comes out with something with a competitive price/performance ratio that won't break the bank, I'll happily switch back over. Getting pretty sick of using Nvidia Surround, their control panel is a pretty crap piece of software.

I have not used AMD's GPU driver suite in yonks, I hear their drivers did get better though.

They are better in some ways, far worse in others.

 

Now ReLive is just on by default I think, and they added a bunch of hotkeys, so I had to go in and Disable all the hotkeys since some of them line up with in-game shortcuts I have setup. Also if you grew up in Catalyst Control Center days and then early Adrenaline, you will have a hard time with how they moved stuff around again in the latest driver software and some stuff is only accessible buy the little settings gear icon on the top right (like the hotkeys I talked about) which is annoying.

Well that is mixed sounding, I do remember the good old CCC though but never owned a GPU in the Adrenaline days so IF I did go the AMD route then it would be another little learning curve.

Please don't go for used 20XX, they won't age well even nVidia themselves said that.

Tbh, AMD drivers are more sensitive to RAM stability which is why a lot of people with enabled XMP(unstable and untested) will complain about random issues.

nVidia drivers have never been superior as nVidia tends to ignore quite a lot of driver problems that have been there for generations(mostly related to multi monitor systems), there is a reason why they are called novideo and why it's true up to this day.

nVidia Shadowplay is also enabled by default, there are quite a lot of people that use them, so it kinda makes sense.

The old CCC was much better designed than Adrenaline software is now, but it still is better to overview nVidia software...

I have in fact been reconsidering. Thinking about a 1080 Ti, which does seem to have aged quite well. Additionally I'd save a few hundred and I'm not entirely sure if I need 2080 Super/Ti kind of power.

2080S and TI only bring RTX to the table, which tbh is why they won't age well, Ampere will perform much better with it and Turing will become obsolete.

I'd go for the 1080Ti and upgrade in 3-6 years

That is the reason I sold my 2080Ti's and cashed in early ! I knew they would depreciate like mad.
