with ray tracing cores. modern graphics cards, such as nvidia's® rtx® series and amd's radeon™ gpus, are equipped to handle ray tracing efficiently, making it more accessible to a broader range of users. how does ray tracing impact gaming? ray tracing has revolutionized gaming ...
Unfortunately, we're already seeing reports of retailers hiking the prices of AMD's Radeon RX 90 series. This couldn't come at a worse time for PC gamers who are finally able to explore an AMD-powered upgrade route for their existing system. AMD did all
Something you can't see in the charts is that we had quite a few crash to desktop events on AMD GPUs as well. Mostly, it was just a matter of getting the game running. After the first ten seconds in a map, if we hadn't crashed yet, it didn't usually crash at all. The game ...
Between 2013 and 2016 things changed with AMD’s introduction of the Mantle graphics API on PC. Designed only for AMD GPUs in concert with EA DICE, Mantle shed the baggage of the legacy APIs to give the programmer much lower level GPU access and a thinner abstraction over how it works. T...
This was a bit disappointing considering its competitor, AMD, is introducing this much VRAM in its mid-range options, whereas the RTX 5080 is a high-end model. Even Intel seems to be going in the right direction, as their budget GPUs now offer 10 and 12GB VRAM. For the RTX 5080, we...
I always run native unless I absolutely have to. Being on AMD means I get access to FSR and XeSS and I've found that the sacrifice of visual fidelity is too much for my liking. Even in STALKER 2 where I have to for anything above 60fps I still run native. I did try FSR3 and ...
This is known as scalable link interface (SLI) for NVIDIA® cards or Crossfire for advanced micro devices (AMD) cards. However, not all applications and games support multiple graphics cards, so it's important to research compatibility before investing in multiple graphics processing units (GPUs...
4K– 8-16+GB VRAM Be aware that VRAM usage is rapidly trending upward and newer games might be extremely VRAM-dependent. This is why newer GPUs like the RTX 4070 have12GBof VRAM and AMD’s RX 7900 XT has even20 GBVRAM. Recommended Reads...
AMD's FreeSync technology is prevalent throughout the monitor world, but do Nvidia graphics cards work with it?
Hi, I'm considering options for a new gaming system and I'm wondering about AMD vs. Nvidia for the GPU. I have not used an AMD GPU since the 200 series days so I am really not familiar with how they perform today. Primarily, I'm interested in getting som
