Does your fps drop at Vinewood?

It drops cause of grass and antialiasing on the grass

Thank god I switched back to nvidia, where I can switch the grass to normal and AF the POM ground textures etc from drivers properly now

Nvidia gpu best

Agreed.

only thing I liked better about about AMD was the driver level sharpening (that didn't even work with DX9 or opengl). Nvidia driver sharpening doesn't look as nice, but at least it works with all the APIs.

fortunately, you can inject the AMD CAS with reshade on nvidia cards :)

Hey man i noticed you helping me with my GTA problems, thank you brother!

OH, ok.. thanks for that info!

No need to switch to Nvidia if your AMD card easily runs the game :) No problems on my end with AMD.

ah yes, well now you may be realising why you need a bit of slack with the GPU usage (it really needs to be not running at 100% usage, so that when it's needed sometimes you've got the headroom).

downsampling from those high resolutions can be demanding, and if complex things like smoke or grass appear at times it can tank the frame rate.

I switched for many other reasons. only a few of which I'll list here.
*can't force highest refresh on AMD without CRU hack
*can't force vsync off with AMD (although with some games you can with the special sync option as long as you are capped under your refresh rate
*can't force AF or SSAA in a lot of games with AMD (GTA V is probably the worst example for AF)
*frame pacing not as smooth on AMD (but admittedly much better than it was back in the HD5000 series days, when I last owned AMD, well actually ATI)
*DSR vastly superior to AMD equivalent. AMD downsampling is basically just a dirty little CRU hack. DSR is done at driver level, and theoretically there would be no limit upon resolution at your max refresh rate
*nvidia using much less power/heat/noise. I'm using a 1650 super with the power limit put down to 70%, and it's getting roughly the same performance as my RX 570 was using less than half the watts. it also never gets hotter than 62 C and has 90% of the performance as it would with the power limit on 100%.

I realise the kind of things I care about, most people wouldn't understand of course. There are things about AMD which are better too. already mentioned the image sharpening, but also the control panel is faster (nvidia control panel is just sooo slow nowadays). Much cheaper (I got the RX 570 for £100 brand new in 2019). Also, driver overhead seems to have improved. But opengl support is still bad in some cases (the RX 570 doesn't run wolfenstein the new order properly, and it's nothing to do with performance, but simply drivers). lots of other things I can't just think about at the moment, but I have a real keen eye for graphics and frame pacing etc, and nvidia is just a bit better (no fanboy either)

Im still using my gtx 750 ti lp with default settings on msi afterburner and it doesnt go over 80C...its still kicking but il get a 1650 oc lp later (both cards from MSI)

lol I still have my GTX 750ti. it's such a great card, I wouldn't sell it for anything. I edited my own bios for it to have a much lower power limit for the hell of it for a HTPC. You could basically turn it into a 15 watt card that hardly even needs a fan on during gaming, but still has 60-70% of the performance.

It also turns out that the 750ti only uses like 38 watts, even when it's on the original 100 power limit. So there's plenty of room for extra juice, even having no PCI-e power connector.

My one uses 40 watts max ....sometimes it shows power at 101% for some reason
