  • We’ve gone over this, that just isn’t the case.

    The 7900XTX is 4090 levels of fast in ML like Stable Diffusion, in video editing with Resolve/Premiere, in professional CAD like Soildworks.

    It’s just as good as a 4080/4090 in Photoshop, After Effects, Affinity Photo 2 and more.

    I have no idea where you get this idea that it can’t do anything except run games. It’s just false.







  • AMD just doesn´t care about driver issues it looks like

    Constant driver updates seems to negate this.

    you get constant greenscreens unless you lower your clocks

    Many people in the forum are saying the problem is when the card is overclocked. To quote one poster “Adrenaline software max freq was 2565MHz when AMD itself says max freq is 2430MHz”.

    the green screen comes in arch too

    Why are you assuming a driver issue, this could be bad VRAM.

    AMD doesn´t look like they will catch up to nvidia anytime soon

    What does this mean?

    FSR3 is still not released

    It has already started coming to games.


  • They will still make regular updates for bugs/security. There are millions of these units in production and AMD is not dropping support for them.

    These older architectures are just not a focus for new features and the drivers are being split out into a sperate package.

    They said :

    The AMD Polaris and Vega graphics architectures are mature, stable and performant and don’t benefit as much from regular software tuning. Going forward, AMD is providing critical updates for Polaris- and Vega-based products via a separate driver package, including important security and functionality updates as available. The committed support is greater than for products AMD categorizes as legacy, and gamers can still enjoy their favorite games on Polaris and Vega-based products.

    If a laptop with a 7730u meets your needs today it likely will continue doing so for some time. That said, obviously older architectures are closer to EOL than newer ones so that comes with pros and cons. Cheaper but official support will drop off sooner.

    Not sure how an APU with a 680M or 780M stacks up in price.
