Since the disastrous launch of the RTX 50 series, NVIDIA has been unable to escape negative headlines: scalper bots are snatching GPUs away from consumers before official sales even begin, power connectors continue to melt, with no fix in sight, marketing is becoming increasingly deceptive, GPUs are missing processing units when they leave the factory, and the drivers, for which NVIDIA has always been praised, are currently falling apart. And to top it all off, NVIDIA is becoming increasingly insistent that media push a certain narrative when reporting on their hardware.
If you’re on Windows it’s hard to recommend anything else. Nvidia has DLSS supported in basically every game. For recent games there’s the new transformer DLSS. Add to that ray reconstruction, superior ray tracing, and a steady stream of new features. That’s the state of the art, and if you want it you gotta pay Nvidia. AMD is about 4 years behind Nvidia in terms of features. Intel is not much better. The people who really care about advancements in graphics and derive joy from that are all going to buy Nvidia because there’s no competition.
First, DLSS is supported on Linux.
Second, DLSS is kinda bullshit. The article goes into details that are fairly accurate.
Lastly, AMD is at parity with Nvidia with features. You can see my other comments, but AMD’s goal isn’t selling cards for gamers. Especially ones that require an entire dedicated PSU to power them.
Don’t you mean NVidia’s goal isn’t selling cards for gamers?
No. AMD. See my other comments in this thread. Though they are in every major gaming console, the bulk of AMD sales are aimed at the datacenter.
