NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Offers Great Performance On Linux

[smitty3268]

Well, this was pretty much what i expected. NVidia's architecture is clearly far more power efficient than AMD's right now.

I think the $199 480 is still a pretty great deal, but if you are willing to spend another $50 the 1060 looks like the card to go with.

You can't emulate Conservative Rasterization, Rasterizer Ordered Views or Tiled Resources Tier 3, just shows what an ignorant AMD troll shill you are. Resource binding tier is IRRELEVANT, Pascal runs RINGS around Polaris junk in performance no matter how much AMD tries to run their GPU to the absolute limit just to not look bad. Just shows how ignorant AMD shills are.

AMD shills like Saucyjack needs to be banned period from thread crapping in all Nvidia threads, losers at life they are that will never amount to anything
in life.

AMD RX480 GPUs also still run out of compliance with the PCIe power specs and blatantly violate it despite having a driver update which doesn't fix it really, just shows how much AMD cares about specs.

"AMD RX480 GPUs also still run out of compliance with the PCIe power specs"

Just like the GTX 960 that no one complained about because the 75 watt limit applies to PCIe 2.0 slots only? Or did you not actually read the spec before spewing your premade script here.

All of this name-calling and cat-fighting...

Buy both gpu's, send them to me and I will pick the definitive winner after enjoying both cards for a year or two. I promise to share my opinion by the end of 2018.

AMD GPUs do not support Feature Level 12_1 and will not even run future games that uses Feature Level 12_1, just like AMD SM2.0 GPUs that couldn't run SM 3.0 games at all.

0 FPS, period.

Nvidia GPUs are future proof, runs much more efficiently and quietly unlike AMD GPUs that will have to be replaced for Feature Level 12_1 support.

Vulkan has no feature levels, so that stuff is irrelevant for Linux users anyway. Go preach your religion on some Windows forum where you belong.

Does anyone here REALLY know what's going on here? Specifically, the two issues at play seem to be: foundry process and architecture (drivers are undoubtably in the mix, but the results seem to be platform independent).
Is TMSC's process that much better, and/or is nvidia's arch that much more efficient?

Some of the comments here should come with popcorn .... Relax people, these are just PC video cards.

Anyway, still waiting until Xmas or so to get a new card ... drivers and stuff will stabilize and then we'll see ... but my preference is OSS drivers.

It's really sad that Michael does not ban the AMD trolls like SaucyJack and Qaridarium from crap posting in all Nvidia threads just because they're such losers at life.

Can you explain how the driver not advertising the feature means the hardware isn't capable of using it?
