| zarx said: You know for all the talk about Nvidia's drivers being so much better than AMDs, since I switched to Nvidia with a 560 Ti I have had nothing but fucking driver problems. I have literally never had so many graphics driver issues. There has been 4-5 driver releases that have constant TDRs when using a web browser or if the system is left idle for too long FFS. The current driver branch is a fucking train wreck. |
Well. If you are running at 1920x1080 with a single GPU, then AMD is fantastic.
However, dial it up to Eyefinity-levels of resolution with 2-4 cards and then it's an entirely different arena completely, there is still frame latency issues (Which will be fixed next driver release) and AMD typically lags behind nVidia in game profile support (I just make my own profiles.)
However, to be realistic, nVidia and AMD's drivers have more lines of code than what exists in the Windows Kernel, they're that complex, hence you are bound to have issues crop up with that many lines of code, if you really, I mean really want poor drivers, look no farther than Intel. AMD and nVidia's drivers are gold plated in comparison!
| CGI-Quality said: Yeah, see that's what I mean. The two Titans (or a 790) would have at least 3GB total VRAM. |
Well, another option is of course AMD with 6Gb 7970's, heck even though my cards are only 3Gb I can still out-bench Dual Titans and the 3 cards only cost as much as a single Titan!
Of course Triple or Quad Titans leaves my cards in the dust, but price/performance wise I couldn't be happier.
| Zappykins said: So how well do you think that would do with a 4K display? |
Depends on the game. For 4k I wouldn't get anything less than 3x High-end cards, I'm running close-to 4k resolution pixel counts and it's demanding as it is, which is probably why the next generation consoles are only 1920x1080, not enough GPU horsepower that's affordable yet!
