HITMAN 3 Runs Well On Linux With Steam Play - Open-Source Radeon Performance Especially Good

[pete910]

This was the case almost 20 (!) years ago when NVIDIA sort of cheated on anisotropic filtering. Would be great if people stopped perpetuating this BS.

Many people over the past decade have compared NVIDIA and AMD in terms of image quality and nothing has been found, e.g.

That's normally Nvidias trick

The last time it happened it was AMD's trick. AMD actually was decreasing tesselation levels in some titles as AMD sucked at Tesselation performance. Nvidia's cheat was like 20 years ago...

It would be quite hard to make such cheats in Vulkan/DX12 APIs as you would not pass conformance tests with generalist tricks, only way is to make some profiles towards specific titles that allows decreasing quality.

You admit they cheated and then you say it's BS. Reputation once damaged can be hard to recover from. If you think, this is all old news, you can see more recent stories

RTX 3060 having the same number of shaders and performing the same as old Vega 56 at roughly the same power draw is amusing IMO.

linux Vs Windows ? For a fixed graphics card it would be very interesting to see what the overhead cost is for proton usung HITMAN, eventhough the cost might vary widely from game-to-game

This channel has some comparisons.

DLSS is the current version of such trick. Or upscaling in general.

Yeah, you did.

Both AMD and NVIDIA cheated rendering at some point.

Well, you know. There's always that one guy left out there complaining that Cyrix did that one thing that one time with its 386s. :-)

Yeah, both did but for some reasons only "NVIDIA's image is worse" is repeated over and over again. Maybe people could talk about some more pressing issues like both companies now charging an arm and a leg for their GPUs and selling what once was sold under $100 for $400 (I'm looking at retail RX 6500 XT prices in Europe). NVIDIA GPUs are overpriced even more but at least they don't sell a castrated mobile part as a desktop GPU.
