AMD Radeon RX 6800 vs. NVIDIA RTX 30 Linux Performance Heating Up

Michael

while the RADV driver continues to default to the AMDGPU back-end

I think you meant to say ACO back-end here.

its rapidly looking like RT is going to be the "new hw T&L".

"rapidly" as in "in a few generations". when you will not have to pay for simultaneously tanking your fps and reducing picture quality

i bought a HD3850 in 2007 for the AMD opensource driver

i bought hd4850 in 2008 for amd opensource driver

It's in the algorithm that a Nvida card goes first if same average Despite the fact that the letter A is at the beginning of the alphabet

the letters you are interested in are 'x' and 't' (rtx vs rx from row names)

[pal666]

On the 5th test for F1 2017; how did team GREEN win over team RED with LESS min and max FPS ? I demand a RECOUNT!!!

it also had same avg fps. i guess when avg match it gets sorted alphabetically

A Windows vs. Linux benchmark with the newest drivers for AMD would probably be interesting, it would be neat if Linux + RadeonSI outperformed everything else!

radeonsi should get some speedups with aco in future

Too bad you don't have a 3070 Michael . 3060 Ti vs 3070 vs 2080 Ti is the most interesting combo to watch this generation.

only for nvidiots

I think AMD world on 4-5 things:

die shring to 5nm TCSM for the GPU core
HBM3 modells with 32-64GB vram for high paying customers like apple
increase the 128mb infinity cache to 256MB and maybe go from 12nm to 12nm-LP+ or 7nm-

Also Global Foundries invest to double the 12nm capacity (FD-SOI)

https://www.eetimes.com/globalfoundries-offers-ambitious-tech-plans-while-eying-an-ipo/

right now 5nm and 7nm is complete overloaded without any capacity free so the 256bit infinity cache chip will be FD-SOI 12LP+ nm

I think AMD also workd on OoO Out of Order execution shaders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-order_execution

Multi-GPU-Chiplet design for VR gaming... with 2 gpu cores for each eye one gpu and 2 infinity cache and HBM3 vram.

as you can see Nvidia is doomed...

That is some awesome information in your post, thanks!

I must admit though that I am unsure if your conclusion (Nvidia is doomed) is humor or an honest appraisal.

Definitely looking good. Thanks, Q!

I believe I have enough info to think this over for the next 1-3 days and come to decision... Alas, given the scarcity, could take a couple of months before I'd be able to purchase one.... But the current monitor on the computer I'd put GPU into is G-sync... And the FreeSync+Gsync monitor I've been eyeing isn't due to come out until late this quarter or early next (so far) anyway. Maybe the timing will work out?

Can't help thinking the Nvidia results aren't quite as good as they can be, but it's a very good result for AMD either way. Just have to find a 6800 XT for a reasonable price.

Oh, yeah definitely. I haven't looked at any Linux Vs Windows benchmarks on this site for a while... Makes me think Nvidia+Linux noticeably lagging behind Nvidia+Windows.

Usually Sapphire Nitro+ and Powercolor Red Devil are the best AMD models, but XFX Speedster Merc and Asus TUF are both said to be very good for this generation of cards. Be aware they're all >31cm long.

Thanks, this is very helpful!
