Why does nvidia always fuck up when they shrink die but AMD doesn't?
HD5xxx/6xxx vs thermi for example.
And now polaris vs pascal.

the 1080 supposedly needed less, using only 1 8-pin power. it might be that they are having trouble dissipating heat from the shrunken components.

What clockrate do they have the 1080 at? I don't see why it's temp would be so much higher under full load on furmark when it's cysis 3 temp is about the same as the 980.

If that 1607 is their clockrate I don't see why it gets so hot for them, tomshardware shows furmark temp the same as game load temp.

pretty sure the GPU drops boost until it hits base at 85C, and if it doesn't work it throttles near 100C

Pretty sure gtx x70 or x80 and above would be considered high end.
>>
>>54605459

the 5000 and 6000 cards were much worse temperature wise. reference versions of those cards needed fans speeds at 100% during gaming, whereas my 1080 sample doesn't need to go above 50% fan speed to maintain safe temperature.
>>
>>54607743
No, Polaris 11 is aimed at low power portables (budget "gamer" laptops) so it's shooting for r370 speeds with ~50w tdp. Polaris 10 is targeted at mid-high tier laptops and mid tier desktops, again, with low power requirements; probably around 150w tdp. The full Polaris 10 should be close to the performance level of the gtx1070 though, when you consider that the 1070 has had ~25% of it's resources neutered.

Not really, the Reference 980Ti hit 82ºC.

Lots of people seem to want to comment on this "issues" without having knowledge about Nvidia cooling approach on reference cards.

What you see here is the fan profile on the bios for a reference GTX970, at 78.16ºC the fans are only hitting 1861rpm, this card has a temperature throttle set to 79ºC(Temp Tager, Reference 980Ti is set to 82ºC), meaning that at 79ºC the core clock will start to throttle down to keep temperatures under 79ºC, if for some reason the GPU can't keep temperatures under 79ºC even with heavy throttling, the card will ramp up the fan RPM until it hits 91ºC which then the system will shutdown as it hit the Max Temp Target.

On aftermarket cards the TPM12 target is usually set around 60ºC, which is why you see aftermarket cards cooling better, because they ramp up the fans early, which is not the case on the reference models as they ramp up the fans as last ditch effort.

Still a retarded card though. Has a higher tdp and power consumption than previous gen.
>>
>>54611526
Power usage is just slightly higher than a GTX970 while performing stronger than a Titan X. The Titan X alone is twice as strong as a GTX970, just let that sink for a moment.


1080 is the new king no matter what kind fault people try to find and aftermarket cards are going to be even better.
>>
>>54611558
That's all good, but the fact that the 1080 runs hotter and consumes more power than the 980 will give AMD an advantage if they can offer highly efficient GPUs.
>>
>>54611567
>but the fact that the 1080 runs hotter

You don't seem to understand how reference cards work, the temp target will be hit at stock fan profile on any reference card, even the 970, in fact as you can see in here >>54611479 the fans don't even ramp up before hitting temperature throttling, if you want cooler temps use a custom fan profile, this is how ALL Nvidia reference cards work.

>and consumes more power than the 980 will
Yes, while being almost as twice as powerful.


You are retarded.


AMD can't compete at all, even if they wanted to get the cheap $150-$250 market, Nvidia could just release a card with GTX980 performance and half the power usage of a reference GTX970 without problems at that price range.


Unless AMD has something stronger than the 1080 they are done for, even so the 1080 is a cut in half Pascal chip, the full chip set should be near twice as fast as the 1080, unless they can blow away the 1080 by 20% or more they are doomed even with cheap prices.

Size of the die, heat and clock speed... Breaking a sweat. With the upcoming new gen cards, this gpu will go down as the first cuck marketing and the price will be slashed in half in six months

9 series was an end game, this is a new platform

Comparing both is kinda lame... You say low power became a priority but the clock for clock perf needed to go thru the roof justifying an extra cooler so third parties get a blueprint to control temps

HBM2 is where it's at

This. I might consider switiching to AMD if they bring something 4K worthy cheaper and I see they give driver support for older GPUs. But I don't count on it. Isn't the 5000 and 6000 series already considered as 'legacy'?

Even if Nvidia doesn't gimp directly, they brought more new cards (NEW architecture not new name) in the same time where AMD only rebranded its highend Hawaii.

Otherwise, I wish to know why my 780Ti hits less FPS than a 290X or 970 in Witcher 3. Some people said 9xx have more tesselation performance, but my 780Ti already has more than a 290X. But I don't care, this is just a shit game I got for free.

you are literally dumber than a curry nigger.

GP104 like Maxwell can only do one thing at a time per compute block.
The only things that changed are that it can do a context switch at any arbitrary point and that the switch only takes ~0.1 ms (150k-200k cycles) instead of 1+ ms like it did on Maxwell.

GCN's async juggles potentially many dozens of instruction streams across the ALU array with no single global context and no penalty for switching between instruction streams.

Nvidia's slides have something called "asynchronous time warp" which is a VR technique not related to async compute shader processing.

It's exposed in DX12, Vulkan, and Mantle.

All three APIs have the concept of separate work queues and inter-task dependency ordering, and it's just a matter of hardware support for being able to truly concurrently process different tasks on a GPU vs. just preempting/context switching back and forth rapidly.

Because the blower fan design works pretty much independant of case airflow since it exhausts out of the case. Multi-fan, open heatsinks can actually perform worse than a blower depending on case capacity and fans.
>>
>>54625055
Why not a blower with a larger fan and better exhaust port?

Maybe add a couple of heatpipes? My reference 570 had what appears to be a large copper block though, but the heatsink itself was rather small. Should extend it further down the card with well spaced fins to allow better cooling.
