Geforce vs Radeon features

Oh dear God. This is what Beyond3D means nowadays?
It feels so wrong to spend (working time) typing this (why am I even doing it?), but AFAIK this groundbreaking technology was included in AMD drivers near the end of 2018.

 

"Digital Vibrance" has been a feature in Nvidia display drivers for some time and can increase color intensity to produce rich, striking deep colors on the desktop and in games. I'm not sure AMD makes this feature available at the driver level.

 

can you add this?

RADEON ReLive VR -> 1st party wireless VR support

EDIT:
also this?
NVIDIA HDTV vs PC Monitor detection. used by Nvidia to disable/enable RGB or 4:4:4 as needed. But its buggy

 

All such monitoring is "driver level", the difference is that Radeon drivers have built-in overlay which shows this while Geforce drivers don't and you need to use 3rd party tools like MSI AB - or Win10's Xbox / Gamebar overlay (whatever it's called these days) - with them. The information is provided by the driver in both cases.

This feature was announced with Turing but I'm not aware of any game where it's actually available.

Hardly an NV exclusive driver feature.

This is an API feature too and not NV exclusive. Intel's Gen12 (ICL) support VRS Tier 1 as well.

There are:
- h/w+protocol implementation levels, which are: G-sync, Freesync HDMI, VESA Adaptive Sync, HDMI VRR
- s/w+driver implementation levels, which are: G-sync, Freesync (and Intel's one, dunno it's name).
As of right now NV supports their G-sync driver implementation over G-sync, VESA Adaptive Sync and HDMI VRR h/w implementations.
AMD supports their Freesync driver implementation over Freesync HDMI and VESA Adaptive Sync h/w implementations.
Also there's an updated G-sync h/w module available now which is using VESA Adaptive Sync h/w protocol instead of NV's proprietary one and because of this AMD's Freesync driver implementation is able to work on such G-sync displays now.
So I dunno if saying that VRR works better with NV now is accurate since they are very similar if you look only at newer monitors/displays.

 

The purpose of this thread is subtle

 

I scanned for Catches Fire but I dont see it listed.

 

I think there are a few games that can use Ansel Up-Res to render 8K screenshots.

 

Is it unique to Nvidia software or do you have the same feature on Radeon software?
BTW have not had any issues with HDTV or PC Monitor detection, or with output color format. Issues might be hardware specific?

 

Super-resolution and AI upscale are two different things.

 

I would think in this context they are the same.

 

It is supported on Radeon HD7700 and newer, so the declaring a winner is hardly relevant... Wouldn't it be much more productive to actually list the supported hardware and other limitations for the features?

 

I don't remember my Radeon ever switch its output format when I changed my TV modes. Nvidia on the other hand, switch between Nvidia controlled and windows controlled.

 

With Radeon cards, you don't need to use 3rd party apps to enjoy wireless VR. Because amd already have Radeon Relive VR that taps into Radeon relive game recording capability, and stream them to VR headset (oculus quest, go).

With Nvidia, you would need to use 3rd party apps like ALVR or virtual desktop to enjoy wireless VR.

For me, amd relive vr works really good. It have low latency, and super smooth performance. Maybe because it was made by AMD itself.

While on Nvidia, ALVR have stutter (works fine on Radeon). Virtual desktop have more lag.

All of these despite Nvidia Turing NVENC supposedly have much better hevc encoding capabilities than Radeon VCE. What even weirder is that NVENC stutter issue not only could happen with 3rd party apps but also with 1st party app (e.g. GeForce experience). According to notes on OBS, the stutter will happen when video game in foreground took too high GPU processing priority. Now I'm way out of topic, sorry.

 

Apparently that is no longer the case, DX9 anti-lag support was added recently for earlier GPUs.

 

Is that the same though, since nvidia also have those settings plus digital vibrance

 

It is different in that saturation, hue and similar features boost all colors uniformly. Vibrance does not change well-saturated colors and will only boost the more muted, dull colors. This has been requested for inclusion in Radeon software for quite some time. I currently use it at a setting of 52-53 (default 50) to give that extra "pop" to any dull colors on the desktop and games.
