Opencl works grest but AMD Prorender for Blender results in low quality images. Lower stock issues than nVidia’s 3000 series. Higher peak power consumption Edit: added info about blender performance ---

> [@SuppaMan](#): > > Has 69 in the name(nice) 🤣 > [@SuppaMan](#): > > Blender render results are poor That is very weird. I hope it’s just the early-drivers issue P.S. btw all this nice price from the start, then completely “out of stock” by the bots and then resell if way higher price…Looks like a giant scam from both Nvidia / AMD. Here’s something for them though :fu: 🙃 ---

I’ll wait for the Linux results. Amd almost always performs better on Linux. ---

Well, if your purchase decisions are driven by hatred for Nvidia, like it is the case with me, you don’t care whether this card performs better. I have simply decided not to buy another Nvidia card until they fully open-source their drivers. Nvidia cards do not exist for me. Therefore, there is nothing to compare this card to. 🐸 ---
