sparkchaser2010 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I just wanted to share my setup as I notice many running Intel/Nvidia based systems and few AMD setups. Intel and Nvidia was just overpriced for my taste and I've quite a bit of success running AMD and doing some slight overclocking. I average 90 FPS in VR in an open area and around 40 FPS on a crowded Nellis ramp.

Rudel_chw Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I also have an AMD cpu and I'm happy with it, but for the graphics I prefer nVidia, mostly because of their better drivers.

Pappen Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Would say that Nvidia have better drivers is fake news and is a thing of the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Would say that Nvidia have better drivers is fake news and is a thing of the past... I used to have AMD Radeons, and at the moment of me switching over to nVidia, it certainly wasn't fake news. Maybe AMD has improved their drivers afterwards, but GPUs are fairly expensive and so I will not risk a change over to AMD without a good reason.

Pappen Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 To state that Nvidia has better driver isn’t true and haven’t been for a while. I’m not saying choosing Nvidia is wrong or a bad thing probably the contrary... Nvidia is far ahead of AMD with their GPUs. Look at @AdoredTV’s YouTube channel to get a perspective.

sparkchaser2010 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 I used to be exclusively Intel and Nvidia until an upgrade was needed and my budget pushed me to AMD. I wanted to give the 1080ti a go but these GPU prices are insane and I've always had to stay a few years behind on current models until now. The Vega 64 has potential and so far handles everything I'm doing, so far...
