      I shouldn’t be surprised that most here don’t seem to realise that’s not a ‘greater than’ sign, and at the very least its function is similar to ↹

    Wrong. Ryzen >> amd = 0. The string “amd” is 6384996, when interpreted as a decimal. Right shifting by that many digits turns Ryzen (0101001001111001011110100110010101101110) into 0.

    If I’m going to build a new computer, I’d like to use an AMD GPU. Problem is, they treat their GPU software like the red-headed stepchild of the family.

      Obligatory switch to Linux notice. The AMD drivers for linux put the nvidia drivers for windows to shame.

        I’ve been running PopOS with an RTX 3080 for years now and I’m absolutely happy and zero chance of switching back to this Microsoft trash.

        I have a problem with how AMD handles their software called “Rocm”. It’s basically AMD’s version of CUDA and it’s a complete mess. It’s ambiguous which cards are supported and which aren’t. They have gotten better with this problem over the past few years. But for example, their latest private customer graphics card is only supported on Ubuntu. Other products are only supported on other distros. Some cards, who aren’t even listed as supported, are very well supported in all distros. That’s what I mean, it’s a mess. Essentially, the only way to find out is take the bullet and plug it in, see what happens. I mean, Nvidia is a trash company that makes Apple and Microsoft look like saints. But at least, if you buy one of their products, you know it runs CUDA. No support matrix needed. Everything, no matter how old it is, supports CUDA. The company and their graphics cards are still trash though. Unless you buy the most expensive model, of course. Then all of your problems miraculously go away. cries in 10GB VRAM

    Maybe they mean ATI and are misremembering Radeon? Granted it’s been well over a decade, but I could see someone saying it anyways. For a long time, ATI cards were better than what was coming out of the merger (not literally because generational gains, but by relative comparison).

    Probably more like they don’t realize Ryzen is AMD’s new line, which is definitely better than the hilarious fail that was Bulldozer and prior.

        I think you can still find it mentioned on the product detail stickers or the PCB silkscreen or such. They still have the name in a few places, probably to maintain the trademark.

      Ryzen hasn’t been “new” in a long time

        I’m mostly working off that there is clearly some kind of disconnect here. Of course anyone remotely close to in the know, knows Ryzen is an AMD line of multiple generations by now.

      Yeah, though I would say there is no need for the extra step of ATI.

      Specifically due to value, though Ryzen was a better value when it started (pricing more Intel-like as soon as Ryzen became successful). Well… a Ryzen APU might still be better value at ultra-low-end compared to a new GPU, though probably better off with a used Polaris GPU.

      To me it just seems like GPUs are still stagnated due to cryptomining, though gaming and raytracing hype probably doesn’t help either.
