Life after AMD VAC ban...

[NTG]

I was 14k elo before i was AMD vac banned. Was just unbanned Friday and played 11 games over the weekend and won 10 and lost 1 game. And got a rank of 1,736 ELO... I was playing against 12-14k people with my friends and top fragging most games.. Great job this is really nice..

Coldzera (best player in the world in 2016 + 2 times major champion) went all the way down to 5k because of this (the elo I'm playing against and I'm currently in the same country as him).

You say that but playing on a 7900xt on Linux meant I literally didn't have ANY of the issues people had with the game.

Not even the shader stutters as a patch speeding up shader compilation by 50000% (not a typo) was added earlier this year and not available to Nvidia users.

I always love the "hate AMD for overly specific scenarios/niche cases while ignoring the general issues with Nvidia that impact all of their users" take you fanboys have.

Cheaper, better performing cards that have more VRAM and get longer support for performance increasing updates, and FAAAR better Linux support seems a whole lot better than some games getting a cleaner puddle reflection for a feature I didn't care to turn on in the first place at an insane price increase.

Sure you get this one game, with one feature you must manually turn on that could get you a temp ban but in the grand scheme of things AMDs been doing pretty good.

I mean, if they weren't then why have they been selling out at the most common price tiers while Nvidia had to stop making 40 series cards all together due to poor sales?

I mean now a days both their CPUs and GPUs are rocking.

On a 7950x/7900xt with an AMD optimized kernel I'm getting up to 800FPS in my favorite corner in office ( it varies a bit) and 500FPS in Dust2 DM with a full lobby.

Not to mention any game with shader compilation quirks don't have that issue for AMD Linux users and any game that compiles shaders before letting you play does so WAAAAAAY faster.

They removed all the elo and didn't adjusted it. NPC bot says skill issues to major winner 🤓

A lesson for us all not to buy amd gpus

AMD really done gamers dirty. Will gamers forgive and forget? Probably. Gamers are dumb.

Glad to hear you're having fun and gaining rank after getting your wrongful ban cleared! There's a lot of negativity on this forum right now, so this is a breath of fresh air.

AMD processor are good but after owning 6900XT for 3 months, never buy AMD GPU again. So many driver issues with multiple games. Happy to be green.

doing just fine here, never had the Nvidia shader stutters of CS2.

Well I'll never forget when Nvidia broke VR for a year on 2000 series cards and never even commented on it even though its in their patch notes.

Or the faulty VRAM issue on the 10 and 20 cards. Or the release drivers for the 30 cards that killed them. Or the fact playing certain games like new world or Diablo 4 can kill Nvidia GPUs.

My Tipp: Be thankfull to valve, buy some cases and open them for skins =)
