    Nvidia Volta Speculation Thread

    Certainly worth considering, memory bandwidth as well at that point. The point is they all increase proportionally unless there is clock gating on the die, except for bw naturally. Eh, it's interesting looking at clock parity if the shader array is of similar size/throughput. Vega vs Fiji comes...

    Nvidia Volta Speculation Thread

    Don't quite understand the point of comparing at clock parity, if you want to glean the relative "IPC" (or shader efficiency rather) of the designs you'd be better off comparing the performance at a set compute throughput (fixed clocks). At the end of the day if you impose clocks across the...

    It's an 815mm GPU, 33% larger than anything I've heard of being mass produced

    No DX12 Software is Suitable for Benchmarking *spawn*

    Quantum Break as well, same exact thing

    I'm curious to see how it performs after your tweaks, and sorry I must have missed the HBM temps in your post going back to it now

    That is quite an incredible deal, even Vega 56 would be an attractive buy at that price, let alone a 16GB FE. Good catch! Can you monitor HBM temps or are the sensors still not exposed? I'd be interested in seeing how it performs at stock and after tweaks in something repeatable like FFXIV...

    Nvidia Volta Speculation Thread

    I understood it to mean it can run any form of concurrency implementable in c++, not that it automatically ports from x86 based cpp implementations. It can run anything implementable with visual c++, not visual c++ What I found most interesting was how long ago the proof of concept for volta...

    Been listening to that on the train, quite interesting and absolutely hilarious to hear Giroux suddenly speak with a french accent when he says "capability" good god I did not expect that out of the blue

    This is often glossed over in reviews but the sound profile makes a huge difference, I'm pretty sure my current windforce coolers can be louder than the blower on my old 8800gtx, but at least it doesn't howl like a banshee

    AMD Vega 10, Vega 11, Vega 12 and Vega 20 Rumors and Discussion

    Anarchist thinks that Volta MPS is a clear indication of the failure of Pascal (and prior) GPU uArch because it is clearly emulating ACEs which establishes GCN's absolute superiority in the market. I know it sounds like a joke, but I'm very serious.

    You should see Ark. If PUBG is a pig then Ark is the god of swine

    Never! The poor thing is a reference edition running at pitifully low clocks, it's well behind a 1070 even

    AMD Vega Hardware Reviews

    GP100 is plenty capable in terms of gaming, fairly certain it was tested at some point I'll try to find the link if I can. It performs exactly like a lower clocked Titan X (or 1080ti), far more powerful than GP104 and it even has 128 ROPs compared to 96 on Gp102. What distinguishes GP100 and...

    I hadn't actually seen compubench results *after* it launched and I noticed that the ones you linked were on OSX for the txp. These are both running windows, I just went to the compare section of their website, compubench2.0, there's no mining though, and some tests are missing. No idea how...

    Similar behavior in AotS which is definitely not ROP limited
