NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on Radeon VII: "Underwhelming (...) the Performance is Lousy"; "Freesync Doesn't Work"

[Mr.Mopar392]

You really need to read more about rtx. Compare it to screen space reflections, whats the diff.


Well, now, who is a fanboy and a hater.

Not a hater trust me, a fanboy yes. I Really don't care what anyone wants to buy its their money, i just don't care for Nvidia cards or their tech thats it. last nvidia cards i own was a pair of gtx 570 in sli they ran like garbage and color look wash out. Never own since then, not for the foreseeable future.

Yep because NV was forced to by sales slumps, they didn't want to commit corporate suicide.

Still have to love (grudgingly) adopting a standard one day, and the next pissing on it as "not working" when talking about a competitor. Either you then adopted a non-working tech, or you're lying to make yourself look good. Neither are particularly smart.

Nvidia would require proprietary PSUs if they could pull it off. Oh, damn, I probably gave them an idea now. Sorry!

 

[juiseman]

Sooo...did Nvidia anounce any new product at CES? or just dis AMD?
This is just bad form.

I find it funney (mabye its wrong) that 3 big companys who have been overcharging for their products (Apple,Intel & Nvidia)
are finally getting a taste of competition. They did this to themselves and their share prices are reflecting this also.
I think they don't understand that people simply can't afford $1000+ Iphones, GPU's and CPU's anymore.

Are you referring to them "allowing" Free-sync to be enabled on G-sync equipped monitors?

 

[Mad_foxx1983]

I've used 3 cards that support freesync with my monitor, zero issues. He knows g-sync is gonna sell less, one more reason for bitterness.

Same here. From and rx580 to Rx Vega 56. Zero issues. Always smooth gameplay

Yup, they support vulkan after flack iirc...

You're forgetting something very important, Vega 64 VS. GTX 1080 was 14 VS 16nm. Radeon VII VS. RTX 2080 is a completely different story, they're not gaining on nvidia, they're falling further behind.
"WhyCry" from VideoCardz says he has many sources stating that Navi was not good enough to compete and is delayed.
If the Radeon VII is the most AMD can offer within 2 years, their flagship will get beaten by nvidia's next gen XX70 class card, which is just sad.

Sure, there is a process advantage, and there is no doubt Nvidia's base arch is better in both perf/w and absolute perf (if you think I said otherwise, you misunderstood what "gaining" means) but Nvidia could have chosen to go wide and slow with the 20XX series on 12nm, adding SMs rather than adding RT and tensor cores. Instead, they chose stagnation. Nvidia had zero perf/w gain (and no perf/SM gain) moving from 16 to 12nm, just slightly smaller dice, so they're definitely not pulling away. They'll obviously gain perf when they move to 7nm, but that's likely still a year out (though I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to make their own $1200 GPUs obsolete within a year, frankly). Still, this buys AMD valuable time to improve their arch before this happened.

Strategically, this is an excellent move by AMD. Will be interesting to see how it plays out when the next generations arrive.

Mind you, my 1440p 165hz gsync monitor only cost me $350. Granted its a TN panel but i use a ColorMunki display calibrator for color accuracy.

What is the point of color calibration on a TN display that only display colors correctly in a circle the center of which is at the screen normal intersecting your iris? Colors are badly distorted towards the edges of this circle and everywhere else (way beyond what lack of calibration would cause). TN is crap due to lousy view angles.

Desperate moves, 2 years later.

Not to be flip or anything, but don't you turn your eyes or head when in front of your monitor? You certainly are correct about human peripheral color vision.

You're new / not frequent here, its okay, but you can search my post history and see how well versed I am. I know precisely what it is compared to everything else.

You sure are. Just misleaded right now.

I still remember the first time I connected my Dell U2711, which replaced a (not cheap) 1200p Samsung TN monitor back in 2010 or 2011 (damn, my monitor is eight years old!). Mind? Blown. There is no way on earth I'll ever go back to TN, and I'd much rather take 75Hz FS IPS than 144Hz FS TN. Heck, I'm waiting for money (and motivation) to replace my current 60Hz non-FS IPS with something actually worth the upgrade, when I could afford to replace it with a 90-120Hz FS TN tomorrow if I wanted to.

Anyone who knows anything about the history of Nvidia would not be any way surprised by that comment. Jensen is one of the most evil executives in any industry. All i heard from him is Ray tracing this year with no mention of hair works......I guess that is going to way of Physx hehe

 

[R0H1T]

Well if (some) of the rumor mill is to be believed, Navi should come out later this year - which frankly IMO would be just about perfect timing, considering it's been in development for such a long time.

 

[Dr_b_]

Ray Tracing RTX cards are a botched launch. The cost is astronomical for the only 2 parts that are truly faster than the Pascal cards, and the performance and availability in titles are lacking. This feature also doesn't improve anything for existing games which are 99.99% of all games that you would need a dGPU to play at decent framerates. We must however admit that its great to see new technology, but it cant be so expensive that no one can afford or wouldn't want to pay that much for what it delivers.

 

[Argyr]

Not among insecure gamer bros; what Huang is doing here is nothing more than virtue-signaling how "tough" he is. The funny thing is, only fundamentally insecure people act like this. Oh well.

Also, the entire term "virtue signaling" is BS - doing good is doing good, regardless of your intent is to be seen doing good. That might be seen as a character flaw, but your actions are still beneficial in the end. Acting like an ass just to look tough, on the other hand, just makes you look insecure, all the while benefiting nobody at all. Which of these is better, would you say?

Huang insecure? He has absolutely no reason to be insecure. He might be fed up with AMD armies sh*tting on the 20 series all over the internet, it might have gotten to him AMD armies expected a cheaper and better 2080 killer, and look what they got, an overpriced product with zero innovation and similar, or worse performance despite the die shrink. He won again. Don't tell me he's insecure because of VII.

Falling stock beg to differ!

Insecurity isn't rational. Doesn't matter what the reasoning is, this is not the behavior of a confident person. Period. This is the behavior of someone desperately trying to come off as confident (and blowing it).

 

[GoldenX]

Are all CEOs this bitchy? You already have a technological and performance advantage over your competition, plus a better branding in the name of non-tech people, there is no need to act as an stereotypical fanboy.

Because the Radeon VII is such a cheap deal, right? You people must accept a few facts: "Normies" still prefer to play on consoles or mobile. PC has become niche. Many times there were news about PC and PC component sales tanking. You can't stay afloat in a shrinking market by playing nice and cheap. I for one am very grateful theres still companies left who work in a niche market. I'm grateful anyone is even developing games for PC. Just look at the RGB craze. That's a deperate effort to get normies back into the PC market. "Just look at out flashy stuff, your PS4 can't do that". I'm pretty sure the times of cheap PC components are over, especially gaming ones. PC's are too complicated to average Joe.

Falling stock beg to differ!

Stock market is a volatile market, even the Dow Jones has had some bad days, so what, should all americans commit sudoku when it falls 5%?

 

[R0H1T]

Sudoku, are you confusing it with something else

 

[juiseman]

Remember this is the launch price, i bet it will drop $150 or more after too long.
Then the price seems more attractive.
Will someone remind me of the RTX launch price?
If I remember the 2080 TI was around $1000 or more?

[medi01]

Huang insecure? He has absolutely no reason to be insecure.

Great to see analysts with insights posting on this forum.
Would you mind to elaborate on Nv stock turbulence?

 

[TheLaughingMan]

So his argument is that AMD can compete with them in their proprietary hardware and software? That makes no sense what so ever.
