Direct3D to Vulkan translation layer 'DXVK' version 1.5.5 is out with lots of bug fixes
1 March 2020 at 11:30 am UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: furaxhornyxSorry in advance for being a noob with all this stuff, but does this means that Blazblue will be playable on Proton, when the DXVK update will be included in the official Proton release ? That sounds great, because currently it is "unplayable" on protonDB.

(I am not confident enough yet with Linux to try the manual DXVK installation :S: )

In my case dont use proton because dont support wmv related files correctly

I use wine 32bit only (compiled by myself) for most dx9 32bit games, in this prefix have installed various wmf redistributables and wmp10

On dx9 side this dxvk runs more dx9 titles (fix war in north issue, some arc system games issue, mouse issue on warhammer 40000 space marines, trackmania united forever shader 3.0 issue, game of life and others) case:

Quoting: STiATRecognizes my Radeon 460 too... do you really all have that much of powerhorses as gaming racks?

thanks to many users for send patches, for non wine detected gpus

in my case send GTX 1050 patch and wine devs accept some years ago

AMD has strong revenue growth again, new next-gen RDNA GPUs coming this year
30 January 2020 at 7:49 pm UTC

Quoting: AudiYour translation didn't come across too well. I think you were trying to say, that everything depends on how well AMD's "big Navi" performs compared to what Nvidia releases, and when they each end up releasing. And, yes, that is pretty much always the case. Who gets the better card and who gets it out first.

To say though that Turing was a big jump over Pascal, like Pascal was over Maxwell is not accurate. Turing wasn't a big improvement over Pascal. The 2060 performed like a 1070. However, when comparing Pascal to Maxwell, the 1060 performed like the 980 (not the 970). Turing was a small improvement.

If their new line, gives this same small bump again, and AMD provides another big jump like the did with RDNA 1.0 over Vega, then AMD will have a very competitive product, in terms of performance.

this time jump seems bigger because use 7nm (7nm EUV) and seems with new arquitecture

in both areas amd give troubles because with actual 7nm dont have same 12nm nvidia tdp

and more important thing if comes with new arquitecture, this have improvements proper of new arquitecture*

*rdna is more or less gcn, no big changes - hopefully amd can offer some better with rdna 2

AMD has strong revenue growth again, new next-gen RDNA GPUs coming this year

Quoting: AudiNo argument there. Nvidia's Pascal architecture was an amazing feat. It provided huge performance with an incredibly low power consumption.

That said, GF 14NM process was not as good as TSMC's 16NM, so AMD got huge gains just by moving to TSMC's 7nm.

Nvidia will be moving there, potentially this year, but I wouldn't expect it until September at the earliest. AMD should have big Navi release by July at the latest.

AMD has huge potential with their upcoming designed. They have huge 7nm experience now, from 2 previous generations of cards released to 7nm. The upcoming "Big Navi" might even be on the newer 7nm+ node.

It's all speculation at this point, but I think 2020 will be the year where the GPU wars heat up again, after years of disappointment from AMD.

personally see nvidia launch 7nm gpus before out big navi, maybe in some place around gtc 2020 but only 3070 - 3080

and 3080ti around big navi launch

hopefully amd can make something but for now seems nvidia put a big jump this time (similar to pascal)

however if amd goes bad in gpus, ryzen still saving the day

Quoting: GuestIt still looks like it's not a huge achievement.

The GTX 1080 is 4 years old in a few month while the 5700 XT was released Q3 2019 which is not a year ago.

And has the same performance as the GTX 1080 (-1% with out BIOS and ACO update) which is pretty bad for a 2019 GPU vs a 2016 GPU.

If we look at the Phoronix Benchmarks, the RTX 2060 SUPER is 0.2 FPS behind the 5700 XT + ACO and the RTX 2080 SUPER is as fast as the GTX 1080 according to: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1080-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2060S-Super/3603vs4049

So even the BIOS Update did not achieved that much.

That's why I hope they will finally make stronger GPUs so I can make the switch.

This year seems complicated for amd* gpus because actual amd 7nm gpus dont have same nvidia 12nm turing tdp (gtx cards) and on rtx cards only stay closer

*on cpu side, i think them can give very good news with zen 3

But now nvidia with 7nm, is possible see for example geforce gtx 1660 super performance without power connector**

**on amd this seems impossible now, them need throw actual gpu designs
