New Upcoming ATI/AMD GPU's Thread: Leaks, Hopes & Aftermarket GPU's

Vega 64 competes very well with an overclocked GTX1080 in 3DMark on the latest final release drivers

 

So, the performance of Vega FE infact WAS an indication of how the RX series would perform. In 3dmark anyway.

Talking about Vega FE, it's had a £300 price drop!?!

Wow. I imagine the market didn't respond positively to it? Anyone got any info?

Yeah sorry. I'm using my mobile phone currently. Will change it when I get to my desktop.

 

@Onna and others can y'all with more knowledge then me break down and explain the Vega Shader ISA documentation?

 

In short?

New DX12 & Vulcan 64 Instructions

Many H/W changes -> indeed new & shiny (That's why it needs new Drivers, and they aren't mature yet ET 3-6 months)

Wait for Vega reviews on Guru or Annand
or read here:
-> AMD Vega Microarchitecture Technical Overview

 

AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 and Vega 56 reviews coming this monday
“As of today, AMD noted that RX Vega 56 cards have been shipped to reviewers, along with a request that reviewers specifically “prioritize coverage” of RX Vega 56 over RX Vega 64 under time-constrained conditions.”

I don't remember ATI/AMD being that desperate.

 

AMD Navi 7nm GPU’s to have Advanced AI Acceleration Hardware !

AMD’s future generation of graphics cards are in the foreseeable future with a name already that is basically all we know about the GPU’s themselves until now… ‘Navi’ will also be featuring AI Acceleration Hardware.

Navi will be focusing on the power efficiency of the GPU and it is said to be believed that Navi will be the first microarchitecture GPU designed and conceived under Radeon Technologies Group Raja Koduri.

Fudzilla has released some information regarding the future of what Navi will be featuring. Something that is called ‘AI acceleration circuitry’ will be on board this new GPU but this is quite vague as there is no way to know what that actually means. This could mean anything from on-chip fabric, new ISA capabilities or perhaps even a new a separate AI acceleration engine.

Navi will be the first graphics card architecture built on GlobalFoundaries 7nm FinFET process. It is expected at the current time of writing this that Navi should drop between 2018/2019 but that is a long time away so who knows the delays AMD could face between then and now.

 

Sounds intriguing OnnA

 

AMD's Vega NDA dates, which are:

# Unboxing embargo lift on Saturday, August 12, 11AM EDT: AMD permits unboxing photos or videos only.
# Performance embargo lift for Vega 56 on August 14, 9AM EDT.
# RX Vega 64 already in hands of some reviewers, with unboxing embargo lift on Saturday, August 12, 11AM EDT.
# RX Vega 64 performance embargo lift on August 14, 9AM EDT.
# Update: Vega 56 launches on 8/28.

C1: Vega 56 Is the more attractive gpu. If the dies aren't rubbish, you could get great overclocks with an AIB card, so you get most of a 1080's performance for 1070 money.
Can't wait for the reviews!

C2: I think that might be true. I want to get vega 64 but i'm curious about the reviews. Then i will be able to decide which card has better perf/$.
If 56 turns out to be a great Overclocker maybe that's the way to go especially if it matches 1080's performance. Since some benchmarks showed that it might be better than 1070 but a noticeable margin straight from the box. <-

 

At least it's not too long to wait now. Hopefully AMD has managed to egg or a bit more performance from Vega. I would like to update my 480 for one or the other.

 

Reviewers always shows overclocked GPU and CPU in their benchmarks, i would love to see some memory tuning as well. I'm pretty sure that thee vram latency mod helps an r9 295x2 a lot in 4k.

 

VEGA 56 3Dmark Benchmark

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6t6avy/vega_56_3dmark_benchmark/

Looks to be around 1070 performance for 1070 money.

Not particularly exciting, but if you wanted something from AMD and not Nvidia or have a Freesync monitor then decent news.

 

So, (i have i mind that is not offical test yet)
difference with my Fiji:
FS P ~3k
FS E ~1.5k
TS ~1k

 

I'd probably still have my R9 295x2 if it came with more VRAM. It handled 4K pretty well when I first got my monitor, but even 21 months ago it didn't have enough VRAM to handle max textures at 4K. If I lowered texture quality the majority of games were quite playable.

 

That's a testament to the AMD and the 295x2. It certainly has stood the test of time better than most.

 

So.. another fury x fiasco? performance& price-wise..


I guess it was too naive to expect something better than this . Well, at least their CPUs are great now

 

Why was FuryX a fiasco?

When i got it had similar price to the 980Ti with aio cooler and performance wise is pretty close.

 

Well, about a price.. let's just say it was cheaper to get 980ti where I live..so it's a bit subjective.

Anyways, fury

- used more power
- bad OCing potential +negative performance scaling past +35-50mV if set via software
- less VRAM

So getting 980ti and OCing it thus increasing performance gap between fury and 980ti even more was a smart choice to make.

1080 has been available for almost a year now and AMD is releasing a card with a similar performance just now. And it's their top tier card. I'm not even talking about 1080ti which is much faster than vega, has more VRAm and uses, yet again, less power.

 

980Ti was subjectively better in every way, prices were a bit cheaper too(depending on where you lived)

Especially OC vs OC 980ti is potentially much faster.
