Radeon HD 7000 Revealed: AMD to Mix GCN with VLIW4 & VLIW5 Architectures

[Final8ty]

Which titles didn't Nvidia do well with out of the gate? I can't think of a single big title. Dragon Age 2 maybe which was almost a year ago. Does Rage even need sli support? I see maybe 50% gpu usage on my GTX560 and it stays at the 60fps cap. Is there a single resolution where even a GTX560ti would struggle in that game? I don't get your point.

I agree that AMD has gotten better with their software support but they have some things that they could stand to improve on. Nvidia cards are more feature rich. You've got 3d which is a big one for me, SGSSAA, transparency aa, and ambient occlusion. I would also venture to say better compatibility from what I've seen. AMD has come a long way with software support from what I saw when I had a 4870 but they still have a bit of a ways to go.



Which brings me back to my original point, when you are spending $550 on a video card like this thread is about I think you can afford the hit in many titles.

SHOGUN 2.

And tell the NV users here that they don't need SLI support for RAGE because you don't think its needed http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s...c=211812&st=40

The point is that both AMD and NV have issues with support for games and its not all down to what you personnel think matters when it comes to others.

Yes i can afford to take the hit but as i have pointed out its not import to me to have SGSSAA and transparency AA in most games so i don't bother even though i can use it in dx9 games.

Yes NV is more feature rich but maybe those features are important to you but its not to me and if it was important to the majority then they would be using NV cards and high end ones at that, so that they could make worth while use of those feature's.
AMD has not given those feature's for many generations and keeping on about it every time a new gen comes out means nothing as people already know that AMD do not offer them and when they look at the latests AMD cards its first and foremost is about performance over the gen before and not well will they introduce SGSSAA and transparency AA in dx10-11 when its a driver feature and releasing new hardware has no bearing on that fact.

Maybe your saying that AMD should not bother making new hardware until they can be brothered with adding SGSSAA and transparency AA in dx10-11 in the drivers because no one is interested in new hardware without it, just like all the dx10-11 cards before.
