Yeaa that cause Nvidia gpus "can't run" quantum break due to bad drivers. Its not an insult or anything, just making fun since it rarely happens to Nvidia :P

Actually this isnt the first game...

The "old" joke was AMD has bad drivers.. but for a while now, they seem to have less driver issues than nvidia.



Around the Network

So about the same 180W TDP as a GTX 980, but 65% faster in Witcher 3 and similar games?

That's still slightly disappointing when the 16nm tech together with architecture improvements has the potential for a x2-2.5 increase in performance per Watt, since AMD claims that.

The focus on VR performance is fantastic news though because that's where we'll need all those extra frames per seconds in the coming years.

So it was a good day after all.



But I don't get it how expensive these are. The 1080 is perhaps 20% faster than a 980Ti but at $699 it costs even more than a 980Ti ($649). And the 1070 ($449) costs a lot more than a 970 ($329).

The 1080 is $599 and the 1070 is $379

Oh yeah, I listed the prices of the special editions.

But still, a 20-25% increase in performace and almost the same price ($599 versus $649) is really bad.

These cards should cost $399 and $249.



Anyway, I wonder what the x3 increase in VR performance of a 1080 versuse 980 is all about.

At first I was really happy about it, but on second thought I realize there aren't any magic tricks. It must come at a heavy cost in image quality or something. VR in its nature isn't any different from normal rendering as far as I understand.
