>On the memory side of things the Polaris 10 comes equipped with 8GB GDDR5 memory. No sign of HBM at all, indicating possibly a mid-tier model. That’s on a 256-bit memory interface providing a total memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s.

Polaris 10= 380X successor fucking confirmed

>AMD fucking their sheeplike freetard customers over for the 100th time
You losers will defend whatever shit they crap out anyway, if they just add moar ram and ghz.
>>53678512
I'm getting this instead of the 380x, then. Hope they provide analog for DVI so this poorfag can run passive.
>>53678553
>says its a Pascal GPU for their CarWorks
>its clearly a Maxwell GPU
enjoy not having Pascal until 2017
>>53678630
This. I was thinking of getting r9 380. Polaris cant come soon enough.
>tfw waiting for Polaris so I can get low power drawing mid-range card

rumours being spread like wildfire.
just wait for the fucking thing to come out, the claims are getting more and more out of hand.
>>53678553
How is a midrange card fucking their customers?
>>53679816
They all point to Polaris 10 being merely a mid range card, and Vega seems to be the true 490X/FuryX replacement
>>53679816
but we need claims to go out of hand
or else we won't have a wccftech to laugh at
I was about to buy pic related.
Is it better to wait for Polaris 10 instead?
vram version of hawaii (GDDR5) was 8.0
vram version of fiji (HBM1) was 8.5
vram version of polaris is 8.1 so going by nomenclature probably GDDR5X
That said Polaris 10 ran Hitman at 2k60fps while being passively cooled.
Also only AMD gets async until volta. So if you are interested in dx12/vulkan you better not pick nvidia.
>>53680053
>That said Polaris 10 ran Hitman at 2k60fps while being passively cooled.
The claims here keep getting more ridiculous.
>>53679843
Next gen midrange card is almost as powerful as this gen's top end, it's good enough for most people 2bh. If it's priced right, it will sell a crap ton. AMD said their goal was to bring VR's minimal spec down in price so 290 performance for $200 with low power consumption sounds like a great deal.
>>53678512
kind of sucks they went with gddr5 but i won't be using it for anything but 1080p anyways and it'll do that ezpz.
>>53680053
GDDR5X only starts mass production in summer
AMD has no GDDR5X GPU at all this year
Enjoy your GDDR5 and very limited bandwidth
>>53678512
If they will be as power efficient as I'm expecting, I'll throw two of em in crossfire and beat the shit out the 980ti for less money
>>53680027

I'm going to be sick
>>53680053
>>53680066
>That said Polaris 10 ran Hitman at 2k60fps while being passively cooled.
that was the Polaris 11(low end card) and it was playing back 4k content
>>53678512
This sounds like it would be great for a mitx sized card. Think nano, but cheaper and cooler.
>>53680213
>>53680211
I don't know why this is so hard for people to grasp. This is going to be a mid level card. HBM will be in the high end cards. 390x-DDR Fury-HBM wtf guys
So my 390 will still be high end compared to the new stuff that should out perform it even though the tech on the card is 3-4 years old and the only down side is powerdraw?
Waiting for Vega...
>>53680053
2k is 1080p. It ran at 1440p.
>>53680213
>says the Nvidia shill with a 128 bit bus and 3.5GB
Best selling card of last generation was the 970. I don't know why a card that hits the same price/performance ratio shouldn't be successful.

i5 3470 for me.
>>53680027
Wait for polaris. Makes no sense to buy 380 right now since it will replace it.
>>53680410
Hawaii will go down as one of AMD's best GPUs they made spanning 2 gens.
>>53680679
every high end AMD card has done well for a long time
>>53680679
290x is still a top tier card, Hawaii has aged tremendously well considering the 290x was AMDs response to the Titan but now the 290x/390x is trading blows with the 980. We might see the 290x/390x even keep up or beat the 980ti in DX12/Vulkan games.
>>53680213
oh no not gddr5 how will we ever cope with industry standard vram
>>53678844
Seriously fucking this. My phenom x4 runs like ass, and yeah a 70 dollar fx6300 would fix it a little. But it's like slapping feces on a wound and calling it fixed because now you can't see blood.
>>53679788
>>53680584
X5650 here. Please be good zen, I want a reason to buy a new mobo.
>>53681206
Don't lie, you'll buy it anyway because it's not intel
>>53681206
Whats wrong with the X5650?
I see it as a perfect viable CPU that can handle most things, even the latest games with a modern GPU (R9 290)
>>53681575
Caught me
>>53681651
Nothing wrong with it, runs at 4.2ghz comfortably. I would just like some USB 3.0 goodness, maybe an m2 ssd as well. Sata 3 isn't necessary, but would be nice too.
>>53681118
But we'll still be stuck with fucking huge cards

8GB GDDR5 is superior to 4gb HBM
Even nvidia is going this route on everything but the titan
Not like it matters since the important thing is the new architecture.
>>53684289
>GDDR5 is superior to HBM
>thats why HBM is going onto the Titan
>>53684307
HBM is worthless when limited to small capacities because swapping is going to take the same amount of time as ever.
>>53684338
depends on the type of compression that's being used man.
People said the same shit about the Fury but AMD released Delta Color Compression with it and that made 4gb effectively 5-6 depending on texture complexity.
>>53684373
Yeah but that compression can also be used to improve GDDR5 usage. Plus more and more games are caching things that will need to be loaded soon to reduce load time/pop in. Hence Black Ops 3 demolishing 970s on the default cache settings because it was set to use 90% of vram at any given point.
>>53681183
>it's like slapping feces on a wound and calling it fixed because now you can't see blood.
jesus fucking christ
>>53684437
This is true, I just thought it was worth pointing out.
>>53679788
3570k master race.
though i probably should get a better cooler.
ivy bridge tends to run pretty hot.
40°C is kinda worrying in my mind even if ivybridge is designed with a tcase of 67°C.
>>53684307
shhhh let the n-tards have hope. after all they bought 3.5's
pls be good and cool zen. i want to make mini itx, r9 polaris/nano build
>>53684307
I left out that HBM2 is going on the titan not plain HBM.
HBM by itself is low capacity limited to 4GB and I would say might be on par with GDDR5 6GB but definitely not 8GB GDDR5. I don't expect devs to give a shit about it until HBM2 so 8 GB GDDR5 is definitely the way to go.
>>53681988
Yeah, If you want an ssd and USB 3 everything is going to be PCI based.
Nevertheless, what motherboard do you have? I want to get an HP z800 or z600, but knowing I can't overclock is going to kill me, but it is probably the cheapest way to go if I want to do a dual socket workstation.
>>53681072
Hawaii GOD TIER gpu
>muh 11 gigaflops
>still 1080p with all of the AA all of the time
i'll just keep running insane AA instead of going 4k since i use a TV for gaming.
>>53684570
so why are you worrying?
it's either your autism or too much time on /g/ believing the temperature lies.
i'm idling a haslel at 40c on a shitty stock intel cooler, it's fine.
>waaah X company isn't giving me the second coming of GPU Gesus for $1
What do you idiots even want?
AMD's low end cards haven't been updated since 2011, in fact they've still been selling some VLIW5 cards as OEM/entry level stuff for years. Tonga is a shit heap that barely keeps up with the 7950, and draws just as much power because Apple bought all of the good binnings, and the consumer market got the garbage tier crippled left overs.
Cape Verde, Pitcairn, Tahiti, Bonaire, and Tonga dies need to be retired already. Polaris 10 and 11 take care of that.
Hawaii draws way too much power, and the Fury Nano would replace it, but supply is likely too low for AMD to price them competitively. That would leave the Fury X remaining as AMD's top tier GPU, and that just came out. They're not going to replace a brand new die.
>>53679788
>i7 3930k
Please save me Zen, I want to build a new PC so bad but I literally can't.
>>53680071
>>53679843
if i remember right, the 10 is locking shit down to 60fps with no minimums below that that shit right now struggles with... this may be a 380X successor but its a fucking monster.
>>53679842
>How is a midrange card fucking their customers?
because the retards thought amd was releasing their high end first line nvidia.
see, nvidia has no mid range card in the 16nm, as they made special optimizations for their 28nm node to lull the power they did, switching those nodes takes what was the Maxwell architecture, puts it back to the Kepler level performance with a die shrink. its not like amd where they could die shrink the fury and have everything but the node the same but scale the performance up significantly.
so nvidia has to brute force an advantage where as amd doesn't.
>>53685992
>amd doesn't release what people expect
>people are getting fucked over by AMD
Wow your logic is incredible
>>53679788
headroom dood, can never have to much, while you may not have a reason to upgrade, i can think of one.
sell the cpu and motherboard at an inflated price due to intel, and use the money to get the zen a motherboard and likely a gpu as well.
>>53681072
More likely than you think.
>>53686020
we knew for a good 6+ months amd was releasing the low end first, its not new, and its not shocking.
some retard said the Polaris 10 was the highest end card after the 11 was shown in battlefield against a 960
you had to be literally retarded to think the 10 was the highest end.
somehow this caught on, and everyone is socked when its a mid range card...
seriously, people are fucking retarded because you there is no reason to be disappointed, if anything i'm impressed with how well the card does.
>>53681183
lol, for me im on ddr2 phenom II x4, 8gb wasnt cutting it so i gambled and bought 16gb of ddr2 from china. 30$ breathed new life into my computer making it last just a bit longer... i now know i want 32gb of ddr4 when i upgrade, just don't know if i want to expand to 64gb at some point and get 2 16gb sticks, or if i want to go the cheaper route and get 4 8gb sticks.
i'm thinking through normal computer use i wont need more then 24gb of ram, but i have wanted a ram disk for the last 15 years at least... just never had the pc or opportunity to do it.
>>53680324
video content, no mention of games, so till then assume it was just video acceleration.
>>53680066
it was at least playing hit man at 1080p 60 without ever going below. its possible that they went up to 1440p 60 but i am not sure and dont want to google it.
>>53683417
and? you dont get a low profile card, boo the fuck hoo.
>>53681183
Fx6300 is significantly better.
Should be pretty close to an i5 2500/i5 3470 in dx12 performance.
I'm currently using an fx 8320 and it's still good for a few more years
>>53684263
1440p is the only resolution that i would accept at ~30 inches, i wont take a 4k screen under 40~ and would prefer 48
i dont need hardware based antialising to hide jaggies when i would rather have 4 1080p monitors worth of screen space with no bezel and have more productive space, not a fucking scaled ui because 4k at 24-30 inches is to fucking small to read text without.
>>53680410
the 390 performance will get pushed down to mid range possibly be beaten by it. remember, if you forgo the power savings, you can gain 40%~ performance.
>>53684871
I can't help you with dual socket boards. I've got an Asus P6t Deluxe. It overclocks really well.
>>53686297
Literally the complete opposite from me. I can't see myself using a 4k monitor >27 inches because I want sharper text, not the ability to shitpost 12 threads simultaneously.
I might be down with getting an ultrawide but a 3440x1440 monitor is twice the price of a 4k one with much better PPI.
>>53684815
HBM1 4gb limit....Yes
" 4GB and I would say might be on par with GDDR5 6GB but definitely not 8GB GDDR5"
Why did Fury not come with 8GB GDDR5?
>>53686446
>Why did Fury not come with 8GB GDDR5?
So it doesn't have a 300w TDP.
>tfw can comfortably CF polaris cards on my xfx 750 80+gold
Feels good to be patient.
>>53686446
Thermal limits plus getting HBM engineering experience.
>>53686438
nah, for me its all productivity,
i could open Photoshop and have a very large work area with the same ui scaling, so im seeing the image at 100% without zooming out
i could also have foobar or something for video/audio opened at the side.
if i dont get a penable display, i could set my tablet to only work on 1/4th the screen, get a fairly massive work area while having reference opened at the top and sides, or window a 1080p game (how i currently play on a 1920x1200... had to many bad experiences where a game locked up full screen and took the system with it to enjoy full screen gaming anymore.) while having shit open on the sides, able to read full pages without needing to tun the game off or cover the game up when im doing some mindless wandering in games.
for me, text is already sharp enough at 1080p, and because i'm a good 2-3 feet away from the screen, aliasing never bothered me, well that and windows by default has an aa filter on text
