when I did my rx 480 review I touched on something odd something that I noticed when switching from the RX 480 to the GTX 970 amounted to a difference the Nvidia graphics card didn't look as good at the exact same settings as they did on the AMD card so what exactly was this graphical dilemma let's find out welcome back to Tokyo senators Brian coming to you guys today with an odd sort of video that just came to my attention when I was doing my recent review of the RX 480 as you probably already know I am a big visual whore I'll scrutinize any minor thing or major thing when it comes to either a monitor or a graphics card review whether it be things like input lag or even cross hatching or stuttering no detail is spared from a TYC review so how does this all betaine to doom well when I had my rx 480 in the test bed at 1440p on high settings I noticed that the game looked well visually pleasing though when I immediately switched to the GTX 970 I noticed that I thought something looked different in other words the GTX 970 s visuals looked inferior to the RX 480 and I double checked this was at the exact same settings so I then started testing things side-by-side and at first I was kind of surprised I thought I was going mad or even insane because with standalone frames versus standalone frames they looked identical though it wasn't until I did some further testing that I finally found a difference and after loading up the game several times I found that I could actually pinpoint what the difference was and there's good news or bad news as you would call it was that this was replicable and that there was a visual quality difference and it did especially differentiate when the levels were first loading as you can see the Nvidia card did indeed look worse for seconds at a time when textures were loading and whatnot I even further tested this at 1080p with the GTX 780 which is of a different architectures of the GTX 970 not to mention the vram limit still had some breathing room at 1080p this in my opinion is an undesirable effect and this is finally when my subjective thinking caught up with my objective results things did indeed look better on the AMD card at least four seconds at a time when moving into a new level or a new scene so there you have it it wasn't all in my head and there have been rumors floating around the different games with AMD verse Nvidia cards do exhibit similar behavior though what exact games this pertains to I'm not exactly sure I just noticed this difference in doom when I was testing things for you and I could actually give you some objective results or proof as you would call it and people are probably also wondering will this the gtx 1070 and also the gtx 1080 well actually don't have either of these cards I did have one on backorder for over two weeks which I subsequently cancelled because it was overpriced and it was just taking too long so I will once I do get those cards in I will test them for you and let you guys know though in the meantime I would assume yes this would affect Pascal since it was affecting both Maxwell and Kepler and Pascal will use similar algorithms in their drivers I'm sure of that so it's kind of a bit of a sad day for NVIDIA users especially when you get to a different game and you may be getting a visually inferior experience to what you would get on an AMD card anyway let me know what you guys think I also did test this on two different motherboards separate motherboards here so I've got this on my dual CPU rig and also my x99 rig and the differences were showing up on both motherboards as well so it didn't pertain to a power supply a motherboard or different Ram or whatnot it was the graphics cards themselves anyway let me know what you think in the comment section below have you noticed anything fishy or anything different between two cards that you have at your own house or what not be sure to include some links or post some videos in the comments and I'll be sure to look at them and if you haven't already hit that like button actually no I was going to say pump it there before you head out don't forget to slam that like button and if you haven't really subscribed because the truth the lies and all the in-between will be exposed on this channel from a yes man from a tech city and I'll catch you in another text videos very soon he's up a now bye oh new I want baby's name it's between both yards for energy tea has so many a matter to do this is my first time doing a script and it's I I need a teleprompter ASAP
