This is disguisting. Remember guys, no brand is worth fanboying over.

How to make the 7900 GRE look better than the 6900 XT: a one-step guide
There was also I think a 6850 or 6950 mentioned by HU on youtube, which is also for china. The chinese and 3rd world country users that buy used are getting screwed with this one…
I’m sorry for the guy I just sold my 6650 XT to :-( I just shipped it to him like a month ago…
There was no warning for this either, as far as I can tell.
🤦

Aww poor windows users.
Consider gaming on Bazzite today.
I’ll continue to buy AMD because of their excellent open source drivers on Linux.
But also, talking down to Windows users is not a good way to invite them to join us.
But since AMD stopped optimizing their drivers for specific games, does that not apply to linux too?
I don’t know, but I do know that many games perform even better on Linux these days.
As a software engineer, I will tell you that to put game-specific optimizations in drivers seems like a horrifying practice that should never have become commonplace, and probably leads to piles of hacks and unmanageable complexity. I have doubts as to whether Mesa and/or the Linux kernel would accept such a thing in open-source drivers.
In the long run, we’re probably better off with clean, maintainable code. I’d rather have that than a few extra FPS any day.
Yea that’s true, it’s probably a mess to optimize for individual games. Depends how much of an impact it makes to have those optimiziations I guess.
The worst thing about Linux are it’s user base (and power management).
Flexing the fact that you use Linux, while recommending the most dumbed down and locked-down Linux distro, is quite ironic.
it’s not locked down it uses virtualization and containers. it’s just a different way of thinking about things. you can literally install arch in one click and use everything that exists there, same with Debian
And the recommendations to buy AMD now stop, until fuckery stops.
Not really, I’d still have slightly worse drivers than a fire hazard and half the VRAM with a control app from the 2010’s and non-existent linux support.
Also, a friend keeps turning off the automatic shadowplay clips and they turn back on on their own, causing his games to stutter like hell when it saves a clip, and the worst part is clips happen when actions happen.
