    Yeah you mean the video game presets, hmm, wish they be kept consistent between articles as it makes it hard to compare.

      2 cents on the general Nvidia/AMD choice - I had a weird issue with Nvidia 1060 - it crashed when there was static electricity around. Go around on the dry floor, then touch the keyboard - PC crashes, only way out is hard reset. Didn't have this issue once after switching to AMD RX 560. Everything is properly grounded of course. Weird.

        A new driver will be out this week with performance improvements.... Minutes after publishing yesterday's article, I was told by NVIDIA that a regression they spent weeks analyzing after they were puzzled by some of my earlier test results had been figured out and solved.

          Jesus they doing active performance regression fixing just by reading your articles?
          Wish this kind of service would exist for RadeonSI.

            They had noticed a change in performance between some of my benchmarks and after a lot of back and forths, sending over my system image, and a few weeks of debugging on their end, they figured out what was going on and will be fixed in the next driver release.

              We have been doing that for at least a couple of years AFAIK.

              The same kind of thing happens on the compute side - I noticed that Michael's numbers were a lot lower than ours, and after some investigation we realized that the SHOC settings Michael was using had execution times too short for DPM to ramp up the GPU clocks.

                This driver should fix it: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...Linux-Released

                Testing now.

                  'SHOC settings'?

                  BTW Where is AMD's 'fix'

                    IIRC the default was -s 1 or -s 2... we found that going to -s 4 made the performance largely independent of DRM tuning nuances.

                    They have been dribbling in over the last few years. Or am I not understanding your question ?

                      First part: Yes, I know. (See some Tested-by: DN ;-)) Second part, you sent the fix (above).
                      Thank you!

                      (I didn't know what 'SHOC' was. - Silly me.)
