>128-bit GDDR5 in Polaris 11

holy fuck currytech wasn't kidding when they said these new cards were mid range and low range
>>
Fiji just came out, that is AMD's high end GPU for 2016. They aren't going to replace a brand new die until they get a substantial return on investment and sell off the majority of inventory.
Small Polaris is their new entry level GPU, and it will scale down to mobile as well. The larger die is a mid-high end part.

There is no HBM2 spec. It is the exact same thing as HBM1, the only difference is a manufacturer distinction.

This is the only fucking guy i ever seen on /g/ that knows what the fuck is going on. AMD also stated GPU manufactures make a large amount of money on the low to mid range cards.

yeah no

Unless the driver locked the fans at a low RPM despite the card running hot (which is what happened with crimson), this is literally impossible. This is on par with downloading a virus and its code "destroys" your PC or downloading more ram. There's no such thing. What happened most likely is that they had multiple monitors connected, which makes the gpu send no signal, precisely the bug within this driver update. One of them even mentions having 2 monitors.

No yeah because amd is totally providing some hot competition yo.

>Intel and NVIDIA just roll in their R&D money and give zero fucks

Maybe if they actually had any competition from something other than a pretend-company, they'd actually bother giving a fuck. But thanks for making my point for me.

And still over TWICE the IPC of AMD, exploring the near limits of silicon while amd does MOAR HALF-COARS when barely nothing benefits from that.

>GUYS WE NEED MORE WAYS TO LOCK SHIT DOWN
>SOMEBODY RELEASED A BIOS THAT ALLOWS OVERCLOCKING ON NON-Z BOARDS? GET THEM FIRED

Again, that's literally what happens when you only have pretend-competition from AMD. Now if they were bought out by someone who actually knows anything other than how to run TWO companies into the ground (amd and ati), maybe we could properly respond to intel's fuckery.

But no, let's all buy amd out of pity everyone, that will surely fix things up. It's been working out so well throughout these years of stagnation huh?

the 680 was roughly 30-40% (40% on only a few) faster[/URL] than the 580.) (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1348?vs=1350)

we are comparing successors here. I.E. the 680 was the 580 successor
remember the 1080 is the successor to the 980. NOT the 980 ti. that's the 1080 ti's job

1080 being roughly 30 - 40% faster than the 980 (which would put it equal to or 10% greater than the 980 ti.

the "x70" has traditionally been 10 - 20% lower than the "x80" counterpart. this goes all the way back to the 6xxx series. I.E. the 6800gt was about 15% slower than the 6800ultra. just like the 970 is roughly 20% slower than the 980 (but the 980 has 30% increased price for that extra 20%! which has made the 980 a ****ty value)

if we take the 1080 being a full 40% faster than the 980
take the max 20% reduction for the 1070
that would put the 1070 around 20% faster than the 980 and 10% slower than the 980 ti

that's practically the 670 over the 580.
>>
i think a lot of people forget about the last die shrink is that there wasn't a "ti" card in the mix. the 580 was the fastest single gpu solution on the market for nvidia. it was nvidia's single solution flagship, top dog. yes they had the 590 but it was NOT a single gpu card. it was a dual gpu card on a single pcb.

the 600 series? same exact thing. 680 was the top dog for a single gpu solution. not only that but both the 570, 580, 670, and 680 were the "big chips." they were the full fermi and keplar gpu's of their series.

starting with the 700 series this changed. the 780 was not nvidia's top dog. a new tier was added. the 780 ti followed by the titan was. maxwell 2 continued this trend but took it one step further with the 970 and 980 (gm204) not being full maxwell 2 chips. gm200 is the full maxwell 2 "big chip" and were exclusive for the 980 ti and titan x. the 970 being a cut down gm204 chip and the 980 ti being a cut down gm200 chip.

we went from "570 and 580" to "970, 980, 980 ti, and titan."

the "1080" is aimed at taking over the 980 spot. NOT the 980 ti spot. that's the "1080 ti" job.

you cannot compare the 1080 to the 980 ti since both cards are on different tier's.

another thing to note is what nvidia said: "pascal built on 16nm finfet process will offer 2x the performance per watt compared to maxwell 2." the 980 ti is 250 watts. half of 250 is 125. so that means, with no gimping, a full big pascal chip, at 125 watts, should offer the same performance as a 980 ti. the full pascal chip at 250 watts? that should offer the performance of two 980 ti's in sli. that's incredible.
>>
>>53666605
seeing as the "1070" and "1080" are not the full pascal chips, that's being reserved apparently for the ti and titan, similar to maxwell 2's setup, the 1080 having performance near a 980 ti is perfectly reasonable. that puts it at roughly 30% increase minimum over the 980 since the 980 ti on average is 30% faster than a 980 with a similar tdp as a 980. also toss in the faster clocked gddr5 and increased memory capacity it will probably be even more faster. near beefy 980 ti overclock levels (extra ~7 - ~10%). rougly a 30 - 40% increase over the previous 980 that occupied its tier level. that's a big increase.

Since most people playing games either have integrated graphics or low end gpus(steam hardware stats) I can see this working in AMD's favor for first time graphic card buyers.The only thing I see with AMD is they can make the best GPU they want but if nvidia offers more at the store lvl, they lose out on a sale.Let me give you a example,Last summer I was in the market for a new card and picked a r9 290+dirt rally for $280 with the game it's actually a $220 card,but noticed nvidia was selling gtx 970s for $350+ game(witcher/batman at the time) making the actual card $290.At the time they were selling the 390s at the time for $345 but with no game and they weren't selling at all.

Nobody should be shocked by lack of async compute in Pascal

> Kepler - removed hardware scheduler, relies on driver tweaking to not waste compute capacity
> Maxwell - stripped out more stuff. fp64 capacity in particular pretty low
> Pascal - you magically expect MORE GPGPU capacity?

async compute is in a way a "lite" version of hardware shader scheduling - it just slips instructions from different contexts into the ALU array is a graphics shader is waiting on memory or results from fixed function units.

Maxwell (and to a lesser extent Kepler) is power efficient because it relies on software engineers to manually balance everything out, which is great until Bethesda releases a patch with new shaders in it.

>One observation I made today which was particularly concerning, was that both with the Snapdragon 820 LG G5 as well as the Exynos 8890 Galaxy S7 got considerably warm after running some heavy workloads. The fact that the Galaxy S7 touts having a heat-pipe thermal dissipation system is a quite worrying characteristic of the phone and should in no way be seen as a positive feature as it points to high power draw figures on the part of the SoC.

Polaris is nothing but a low end GPU, it's not even relevant and AMD built it on a bad HOUSEFIRE 14LPP process and GloFo licensed this shitty process from Samshit

Pascal is top to bottom performance and power efficiency leadership, Apple is moving entire A10 production to TSMC 16nm FF+, they wouldn't do that if Samshit's process wasn't shit
