I like finding stuff out for myself and if it doesnt work out I can always sell the stuff I bought.
There tends to be a cultic following surrounding AMD and their supporters that bothers me. Recent reviewers have stated that Ryzen kicks the pants if Kaby Lake in everything except gaming and the brood of AMD loyals all labelled all the reviewers as "Nvidia shills" and all manner of evil. Which brings me to my current predicament. As some of you may (or may not) know I have a 6Gb GTX 1060. The card was awesome, my CPU was bottlenecking it and I was paring it with a 4690K.
Now, I said to myself why not cross over to AMD and get 2 RX 480s in Crossfire. Bought two and.......it sucked.....I mean like royally sucked I have over 138 games in my Steam library and I realized I had to be fiddling with render files (as per AMD instructions) just to get a marginal (and I do mean marginal) boost in frames. So I then said to myself you know what call it a loss just run one card by itself and lo and behold it ran the games better but was not in the same league as my 1060. So I then watched a series of YouTube videos to see if I was the only on experiencing this and I started seeing a trend there are some reviewers that I have respect for but AMD almost always does better on their reviews compared to the popular reviewers.
I had 2 AMD cards but they were never current gen so i was happy with being able to play games at 35 + FPS. Now I want to max and get over 60 at 1080P and 1440P. I think I am done with AMD I will go to Nvidia and enjoy lower total TDP, no huge minimum framerate drops, and a platform thats supported by more game devlopers. The AMD loyalists/apologists can remain but based on my experience I am done.
Pezz go away.....
A i5 4690K bottlenecked a GTX 1060! For real? And also i thought the 1060 and 480 had basically the same performance plus the 480 would outperform the 1060 in DX12 titles.
